上周从一个朋友那里了解到长沙一家德国外企Bosch在招人,看了下只有MES工程师是对编程经验有要求的,抱着试一试的态度,就投了简历。
没想到对方周一就给我回电话,希望我好好准备一下英语面试,过段时间去面试。留给我的时间不多,我得赶快冷静下来想想。
为什么要选择这份工作?虽然跟我现在所学的并不完全相关,但考虑到博世是一家大型德企,对员工的培养自然不必说,不必愁未来出来找不到工作。进去后需要常用英语交流和写作,对自身成长也不错。恰恰自己近半年来都在熟悉Oracle,也能帮助我更快地适应这份工作。加上我自己比较喜欢做研发探索,对事物有好奇心,比起现在的这份工作来要有前景许多。唯一的不足就是需要经常出差,刚进去的第一年也要去苏州培训。这个面试的时候需要特别的问下。 毕竟 大型外企+专业相关 > 小型私企+专业对口 。
既然决定要去,就要好好准备。也在祷告,希望这份工作是合适我的。经过网上的搜索,我把可能问到的问题贴出来,有需要的朋友可以参考。
1. Tell me a little about yourself.
思路:先做个简短的自我介绍,大方说出自己的优点(聪明、灵活、善于沟通、长得帅……),也不要避讳自己不擅长的(人群热烈讨论时有一些不适应、不是特别能打开话匣子)。注意语速平缓,要有眼神交流,不要只是在背书,因为别人未必在乎你讲得多好,而是要让他觉得舒服。要淡定,所以最好能提前找个人预演一下。
如果别人不继续往下追问,可以适当聊聊自己的优点。
回答:Ok, this year I was graduated from Hunan University where I majored in software programming with a Bachelor degree.After graduated, I was learning Oracle SQL and how to optimiza the query speed.I learned java as well. When I work, I want to work hard. And outside of work, I like to engage in my personal activities such as running or frisbee. I’ve always liked being balanced
2. What are your strengths?
思路:简要回答一两点,能主动、能全神贯注地工作。遇到解决不了的问题主动上报。学习能力强。口语好
回答:I am a programmer,as you know, programming needs highly-concentrated attention, so it's easy for me to be focused at work. Besides, I learned english at an early age, so my spoken english is enough to communicate with foreigh people. Also, I know I need to learn a lot of new knowledge in this new job, but it's ok for me to learn things quickly. Work is not the most importment thing in life. When I work, I always take initiative, if I find there's something wrong and I still can't handle it, I will report to my superior.
3. What are your weaknesses?
思路:有些人说要把缺点说成优点,我觉得这不真诚。不如真实地告诉他你的性格和擅长的事,对方也可以更好地评估你。毕竟找一份合适自己的工作才是最重要的。不是特别强势的人,在人群中有一些害羞,但是讨论工作事务是OK的。
回答:I'm not particularly strong person, so sometimes I am a little shy when I am in lively crowd. But it's ok to talk to work things.
4. Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
思路:聊聊工作上的愿景。
回答:After five years of improving my skills, If I love doing the research and development as now, I would be en expert in Oracle. If I'm lucky and concentrated enouch, I can lead a small team.
5. Why you want to work at Bosch?
思路:看中员工的培养、专业相关、有挑战性。
回答:I know Bosch is a large German company which providing good employee training so i want to work with it. What's more, my major fits the job requirements as well. I think I can do challenging work here.
7.Do you have any questions for me/us?
思路:问你最关心的。工作的日常一天?出差的频率?希望两个月有一次回长沙的机会?发展前景如何?
回答:
*1.What is the typical day for this position (job)?(了解工作职能)
*2.I can fit the bussiness trip outside. But in the first year, can I have the opportunity to return Changsha about every two months?
*3.How is the frequency of business trip?
4.I want to know more about the prospects of this job.
8. Why do you want to stay at Changsha?
思路:长沙博世肯定不希望自己的员工去了苏州就不回来了。我自己本来就希望可以在长沙工作,虽然我家不在这边,但是这里有我很亲近的人。所以这不是问题
回答:I know maybe you will be confused why I choose to work at Changsha since my hometown is in Jiangsu Province. Althought I am not a native speaker in Changsha, I have many good friends here. If I choose to go back home, I should return home immediately rather than stay at Changsha after I graduated, right ? So this is my decision to stay at Changsha for quite a long time.
