一些英语面试中经典问题答问work experience is the type of work youve done in the past. If you havent started working yet you can say Right now Im still a student. or Im a recent grad and I havent started working yet. In the second sentence, recent grad is short for recent graduate and means that you have just finished school. 请告诉我你过去的工作经验。工作经验就是你过去所做的工作。如果尚未开始工作，就可以回答Right now Im still a student.(现在我还是个学生。)或者说Im a recent grad and I havent started working yet.(我刚刚毕业，还没有开始工作。)recent grad是recent graduate的缩写，意思是刚刚毕业。 Second One: Whats your greatest weakness? This is a popular question that western employers like to ask to make candidates nervous! In fact, they ask this to know how you respond to a difficult question. You shouldnt answer by telling your greatest weakness since you might not get the job! Instead, you can tell them something that isnt directly related to the job position. 你最大的缺点是什么？西方老板特别爱问这个问题，让面试者感到很紧张。事实上，他问这个问题是看你对棘手问题的反应。你没必要如实回答你的弱点，因为那有可能让你得不到这份工作。相反，你可以告诉他们一些与工作不直接相关的事情。 Third One: Why do you feel you are qualified for this job? This question is a good opportunity to brag a little bit. You should talk about some extra skills you have that maybe wasnt included in your resume, or talk about your greatest strength in more detail. 你为什么觉得自己胜任这份工作？这时候你要充分发挥你的自夸本领。你可以讲述一些简历资料里面没有包括的技能；或者是再详细强调一下你的特长。 Fourth One: What kind of salary did you have in mind? Salary is how much money you earn, usually per year. When asked this, its best to answer with a salary range or approximation and not an exact figure. This shows that you are familiar with the industry if you know what the approximate salary should be. 你期望的薪水是多少？salary就是你赚多少钱，通常是年收入。回答这个问题时，最好说出一个大致范围，而不是一个确切的数字。如果你能说出这个工资范围，那就说明你对此行业非常了解。 Fifth One: If hired, when could you start work? When answering this its best not to say you can start right away. This might make you seem very desperate for a job. A safe answer would be I can start at the beginning of next month. 如果雇佣的话，你什么时候开始工作？回答这个问题时。一定要注意！不要说我马上可以工作。那会让对方认为你非常迫切地需要这份工作。一个非常保险的回答可以是I can start at the beginning of next month.(我下月初可以开始上班。) Sixth One: What kind of work does the posi-tion involve? You can ask this to clarify exactly what kind of work youll be doing. 这个职位包括哪些工作？通过问这句话，你可以清楚地了解到你的工作内容。 求职英语会话A： Hello！B： Hello！ Glad to meet you. A： Tell me something about yourself, please.
