If you were laiid off in anacross-the-boaard cutback, say so; otherrwise, indicate that the mmove was yourdecision, thee result of your action. DDo not mention personalityy conflicts.The interviewwer may spend some time prrobing you on this issue, particularly ifit is cleaar that you were terminateed.

Why arentt you earning more at yourr age?你这年龄，为什么没有挣到更多的钱呢？/ 晕死！Say that this is one reason that you arre conducting this job seaarch. Dont bedefensive.23. What do you feel this position should pay?你想拿多多少钱？Salary is a delicate topic. We suggest that yoou defer tying yourself too aprecise figure for as llong as you can do so poliitely. You might say, ”Iuunderstand that the range for this job is between $_ and $_. Thatsseems appropriate for the job as I understand it.” You might answer thequesstion with a question: ”PPerhaps you can help me onn this one. Can youtell mee if there is a range for similar jobs in the organnization?”If you are askked the question during ann initial screening intervview, you mightsay that yoou feel you need to know mmore about the positionss responsibilitiesbefore yyou could give a meaningfuul answer to that questionn. Here, too, eitherby askking the interviewer or seearch executive (if one iss involved), or inresearchh done as part of your hommework, you can try to finnd out whether thereis a ssalary grade attached to tthe job. If there is, and if you can live withit, ssay that the range seems rright to you.If the interrviewer continues to probee, you might say, ”You knnow that Imma-ki-ng $_ now. Like everyone ellse, Id like to improve on that figure,but my majjor interest is with the jjob itself.” Remember thaat the act oftaking a new job does not, in and of iitself, make you worth morre money.If a search firmm is involved, your contacct there may be able to heelp with thesalary questioon. He or she may even be able to run interference for you. If,for instance, he tells you what the poosition pays, and you telll him that you areearning that amount now and wouldd Like to do a bit better, he might go back tothe eemployer and propose that you be offered an additioonal 10%.If no price rangge is attached to the job, and the interviewer conttinues topress the subjectt, then you will have to rrestpond with a number. Yoou cannotleave the impresssion that it does not reallly matter, that youll aacceptwhatever is offered. If youve been ma-ki-ngg $80,000 a year, you cant say thata $35,000 figuure would be fine without sounding as if youve giiven up onyourself. (If yoou are ma-ki-ng a radical career change, however, tthis kind ofdisparity may be more reasonable and unnderstandable.)Dont selll yourself short, but conntinue to stress the fact that the job itselfis thee most important thing in your mind. The intervieweer may be trying todetermiine just how much you wantt the job. Dont leave thhe impression thatmoney iss the only thing that is iimportant to you. Link queestions of salary tothe woork itself.But whenever ppossible, say as little ass you can about salary unttil you reachthe ”final” stage of the interview pprocess. At that point, yoou knowthat the company iss genuinely interested in you and that it is likelyy to beflexible in salary negotiations.24. What arre your long-range goals?你的长期目标是什么？Refer back to the planning phase of youur job search. Dont answwer, ”Iwant the job youve advertised.” Relate yyour goals to the company youare interviewing: inn a firm like yours, I wouuld like to.”25. How ssuccessful do you youve been so far?到目前为止，你做的最成功功的是什么？Say that, all-in-alll, youre happy with thee way your career has proggressed sofar. Given the nnormal ups and downs of liife, you feel that youvee done quitewell and have no complaints.Present a positive and confident piicture of yourself, but doont overstate yourcase. An answer like, ”Everythhings wonderful! I cant think of a timewhen thiings were going better! Im overjoyed!” is likelyy to make aninterviewer woonder whether youre tryiing to fool him . . . or yyourself. Themost convinciing confidence is usually quiet confidence.外企面试老外老老板经常问到的几个问题和参考答案2015年10月244日星期二12:07 1.请介绍一下你自己。这是外外企常问的问题。一般人回答这个问题过于平常，只说姓名名、年龄、爱好、工作经验，这些在简历上都有，其实，外外企最希望知道的是求职者能否胜任工作，包括：最强的技技能、最深入研究的知识领域、个性中最积极的部分、做过过的最成功的事，主要的成就等，这些都可以和学习无关，也可以和学习有关，但要突出积极的个性和做事的能力，说得合情合理外企才会相信。外企很重视一个人的礼貌，求职者要尊重考官，在回答每个问题之后都说一句“谢谢谢”。外企喜欢有礼貌的求职者。2.在学校你最不喜欢欢的课程是什么？为什么？这个问题外企不希望求职者直直接回答“数学”、“体育”之类的具体课程，如果直接回回答还说明了理由，不仅代表求职者对这个学科不感兴趣，可能还代表将来也会对要完成的某些工作没有兴趣。这个个问题外企招聘者最想从求职者口里听到：我可能对个别科科目不是特别感兴趣，但是正因为这样，我会花更多的时间间去学习这门课程，通过学习对原本不感兴趣的科目也开始始有了兴趣，对于本来就有兴趣的科目我自然学习得更认真真，所以各门课的成绩较为平衡。通过这样的问题，外企可可以找到对任何事情都很感兴趣的求职者。3.说说
