If you can give me an interview, Id be pleased to come any afternoon except Monday.如能给予面试，除星期一外每天下午本人均可应试。2. If you do not have any vacancies at present for which I might be considered, will you please save my application for future reference? I would be pleased to supply any additional information you may need and to come to your office for a personal interview at your convenience.若贵公司目前尚无适当工作，敬请将我的申请加入人才库以备将来参考。贵公司如需我的个人资料，我愿随时提供。只要阁下方便，我愿随时前来贵公司面试。3. Should this application be considered, I will do my best to do a good job for the company, and come to your office for a personal interview at your convenience.如贵公司能考虑此申请，本人将为公司尽最大努力工作。只要阁下方便，我愿随时前来贵公司面试。4. Id appreciate very much the chance to talk to you and to get your opinion on whether I am qualified for the job offered.如有机会与你们面谈，我将十分感激。希望能知道我是否适合担任你们所要求的工作。二、电话面试支招很多外企在当面的面试之前会有一个电话英语面试，时间一般在20到30分钟左右，用以核实求职者的背景和英文表达能力。下面就给大家支几招，方便大家做好准备。准备几个基本问题如果你提前知道了电话面试的时间，就可以在面试时把简历、求职信放在你旁边的桌子上，直接用里面的句子回答问题。一些基本的问题，你可以事先准备好答案。通常，在电话英语面试的时候会问道：Please tell me something not mentioned in your C.V./about yourself/your experience/your activities.谈谈你简历中没有提及的一些事情/谈谈你自己/你的经历/你参与的活动。An example of team work.举出一个你参与团体合作的例子。Why did you choose this position？你为什么选择这个职位。Why should we hire you？为什么我们应该雇用你？开放式讨论如Information Technology（信息技术）或者the role of university in society（大学的社会角色）等，主要考查求职者的思维方式。自由提问求职者也可以事先准备一些问题去询问面试官，以表示你对公司的关注。听不清时怎么办如果有时候没有听清楚，也不必紧张，可以镇定地请求再说一遍。可以用到的句子有：Pardon？请再说一遍。Would you please rephrase the question？您能把这个问题说得简单些吗？Would you please say it in another way？您能用别的话来表达您的意思吗？Would you please speak a little bit louder？I cant hear you clearly. 您说话声音能大一点好吗？我听不清楚。应对突袭电话面试有时候，公司是会突然进行电话面试的。当你正在球场或者公交车上，突然接到了面试电话，此时没有任何准备，建议你首先试探看看是否可以给你个准备时间稍后再进行电话面试。可以用到的句子：May I call you back in half an hour？May I have your phone number and call you back？如果可以赢得时间，你应该马上赶回去，摊开资料写出一个提纲，从容应答。如果对方不同意推迟时间，你应该马上找个安静的地方坐下来开始回答。三、6个面试的经典英语问题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 Ihavent 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。四、让面试官眼睛一亮的问题面试是一个双向选择的过程。面试你的公司想知道你是不是适合这份工作，你也想知道这个公司和工作是否适合你。因此，你应该确保了解到足够的信息来决定你是不是要这份工作。下面是一些可以让面试官眼睛一亮的问题：What will my responsibilities be?我要负责什么？Who will I report to?我向谁汇报工作？Who will report to me? How experienced are they?我负责管理哪些人？他们的工作情况怎样？What do you expect me to do in the first 6 months?开始6个月你都希望我做些什么？What level of performance do you expect from me?你希望我有什么样的表现？Who are your customers?你的顾客都是怎样一些人？Where is the company going? Expansion plans?公司的运营计划怎样？扩展计划呢？What are the chances of advancement/promotion in this position? When?这个职位的晋升机会怎样？什么时候会有提升？What will be my salary, benefits and bonuses?薪水，福利和奖金是怎样的？Will traveling be required in this position?这个职位需要出差吗？Will relocation be required now or in the future?现在或将来职位会有变动吗？What training do you provide?你们提供什么培训？When will you decide on the appointment?你们什么时候会决定人选？What is the next step?下一步计划怎么做？当然了，要在合适的时机提出这些问题，不然会给面试官留下一个咄咄逼人的印象，那你的面试结果可就不妙了。五、常用问答想找一份满意的工作吗? 面试中面对外国老板连珠炮似的提问, 有没有觉得心慌意乱、无所适从？求职过程中面试尤为重要，回答问题，如果能简明扼要，真诚中肯，合乎老外口味，那么录取机会必定大大增加。当然，有的问题，也要轻描淡写，以免言多必失。本篇摘录了若干面试中出现频率较高的问题及精彩回答，希望能在您求职路上助您一臂之力。Q：Can you sell yourself in two minutes？ Go for it. （你能在两分钟內自我推荐吗？大胆试试吧！）A：With my qualifications and experience, I feel I am hardworking, responsible and diligent in any project I undertake.
