When you pass this level you will pass to the interview, and to campus for in-person interviews, and ultimately offered the position! If you are not interviewed by phone, these same questions are likely to be asked on site.Some helpful hints:Introduce yourself clearly and directly. Engage in some “small talk” at the start of the interview, just as you would a face-to-face interview.Speak clearly into the receiver and modulate your voice. Your voice is the only way you have of showing eagerness, enthusiasm and zest for the job. Your voice reveals both your personality and your attitude toward the caller. Dont forget to smile! It makes a big difference in a conversation, even on the telephone.Have your resume and the job advertisement with you for reference, and a pencil and some paper to make notes.Some students find that it helps to dress for a telephone interview as you would for a face-to-face interview it often helps to psychologically prepare you for this form of business “meeting”.No matter how or where your interview is conducted, you should still have the same goal: to communicate to the interviewer that you are the best candidate for the position for which you are being interviewed. If the interview has been scheduled in advance, you should prepare as carefully as you would for a formal “sit down” in someones office.Eliminate any distractions from your immediate environment (desk toys, newspaper clippings, your shopping list). Dress professionally and maintain good posture. The one bonus to a telephone interview is that you can prearrange notes to prompt you and to keep you on track, but only if you can refer to them unobtrusively. You do not want the person on the other end of the line to hear you shuffling papers in the background!Sample Interview Questions 英语面试 Why did you apply for this position?Tip: How do you think that you might fit into this companyWould you tell us what attracts you to a career with us?

You can expect questions regarding your qualifications, your academic preparation, career interests, experience, and ones that assess your personality.1. Tell me about yourselfThe most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. Limit it to work-related items unless instructed otherwise. Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate to the position you are interviewing for. Start with the item farthest back and work up to the present.2. Why did you leave your last job?Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking reasons.3. What experience do you have in this field?Speak about specifics that relate to the position you are applying for. If you do not have specific experience, get as close as you can.4. Do you consider yourself successful?You should always answer yes and briefly explain why. A good explanation is that you have set goals, and you have met some and are on track to achieve the others.5. What do co-workers say about you?Be prepared with a quote or two from co-workers. Either a specific statement or a paraphrase will work.6. What do you know about this organization?This question is one reason to do some research on the organization before the interview. Find out where they have been and where they are going. What are the current issues and who are the major players?7. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?Try to include improvement activities that relate to the job. A wide variety of activities can be mentioned as positive self-improvement. Have some good ones handy to mention.8. Are you applying for other jobs?Be honest but do not spend a lot of time in this area. Keep the focus on this job and what you can do for this organization. Anything else is a distraction.9. Why do you want to work for this organization?This may take some thought and certainly, should be based on the research you have done on the organization. Sincerity is extremely important here and will easily be sensed. Relate it to your long-term career goals.10. Do you know anyone who works for us?Be aware of the policy on relatives working for the organization. This can affect your answer even though they asked about friends not relatives. Be careful to mention a friend only if they are well thought of.11. What kind of salary do you need?A loaded question. A nasty little game that you will probably lose if you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like, Thats a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position? In most cases, the interviewer, taken off guard, will tell you. If not, say that it can depend on the details of the job. Then give a wide range.12. Are you a team player?You are, of course, a team player. Be sure to have examples ready. Specifics that show you often perform for the good of the team rather than for yourself are good evidence of your team attitude. Do not brag, just say it in a matter-of-fact tone. This is a key point.13. How long would you expect to work for us if hired?Specifics here are not good. Something like this should work: Id like it to be a long time. Or As long as we both feel Im doing a good job.14. Have you ever had to fire anyone? How did you feel about that?This is serious. Do not make light of it or in any way seem like you like to fire people. At the same time, you will do it when it is the right thing to do. When it comes to the organization versus the individual who has created a harmful situation, you will protect the organization. Remember firing is not the same as layoff or reduction in force.15. What is your philosophy towards work?The interviewer is not looking for a long or flowery dissertation here. Do you have strong feelings that the job gets done? Yes. Thats the type of answer that works best here. Short and positive, showing a benefit to the organization.16. If you had enough money to retire right now, would you?Answer yes if you would. But since you need to work, this is the type of work you prefer. Do not say yes if you do not mean it.17. Have you ever been asked to leave a position?If you have not, say no. If you have, be honest, brief and avoid saying negative things about the people or organization involved.18. Explain how you would be an asset to this organizationYou should be anxious for this question. It gives you a chance to highlight your best points as they relate to the position being discussed. Give a little advance thought to this relationship.19. Why should we hire you?Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs. Do not mention any other candidates to make a comparison.20. Tell me about a suggestion you have madeHave a good one ready. Be sure and use a suggestion that was accepted and was then considered successful. One related to the type of work applied for is a real plus.21. What irritates you about co-workers?This is a trap question. Think real hard but fail to come up with anything that irritates you. A short statement that you seem to get along with folks is great.22. What is your greatest strength?Numerous answers are good, just stay positive. A few good examples: Your ability to prioritize, Your problem-solving skills, Your ability to work under pressure, Your ability to focus on projects, Your professional expertise, Your leadership skills, Your positive attitude .23. Tell me about your dream job.Stay away from a specific job. You cannot win. If you say the job you are contending for is it, you strain credibility. If you say another job is it, you plant the suspicion that you will be dissatisfied with this position if hired. The best is to stay genetic and say something like: A job where I love the work, like the people, can contribute and cant wait to get to work.24. Why do you think you would do well at this job?Give several reasons and include skills, experience and interest.25. What are you looking for in a job?See answer # 2326. What kind of person would you refuse to work with?Do not be trivial. It would take disloyalty to the organization, violence or lawbreaking to get you to object. Minor obje
