外企財務面試經典問題
1. tell me about yourself。
這是面試問題中的經典頭道“開胃菜”，主要考察求職者的個性是否符合公司的企業文化，所以回答時要儘量貼近這個公司的情況來推銷自己。比如這個公司 屬於汽車行業，那么你就該回答：“driving is my hobby. i really love the feeling of running on the road and i take cars as my best friends。要找到自己跟這個公司的切合點，讓面試官了解你適合這個環境。
2. what are your three greatest strengths?
回答這個問題時不可以只是簡單回答：“i’m really organized, punctual and get along well with others。”簡潔、精煉找到這個公司所看重的特長，是回答這個問題的關鍵。像要應聘金融行業，可以說：“i think my three strongest strengths are details-oriental, patient and cautious。”但如果應聘者是一個銷售精英，可以說：“i think my strongest strengths are aggressive, hard working and communicative。”總之，需要考慮到應聘公司及職務的需要來選擇表現自己的優勢。
3. what are your three greatest weaknesses?
老闆都願意找到一個了解、熱愛工作，並能夠為公司創造價值的員工。所以不要很誠實地把自己的毛病都暴露出來，而是要有策略地選擇一些能夠為自己加分的缺點。
4. why are you interested in working for our company?
此問題主要考察應聘者是否了解這個工作，或者是否真正有興趣，所以需要圍繞整個公司的具體情況，讓面試官知道你很清楚這個公司的運營模式，以及對這 項工作非常積極。建議不要以“it seemed like a good career move。”或是“i havent been able to find anything else interesting。”為開始。如果能有一些實際回答的話，加分會更多。應聘者可以這樣回答：“i read an article in the newspaper and was very impressed by ……”但是前提是你必須真的對這家公司作了研究，同時也要注意，不要讓面試官覺得你是為了討好面試官而言過其實。
5. why did you leave your last job?
跳槽的原因可能是因為上一份工作非常糟糕，但面試並不是適合抱怨的場合，而且千萬不要對現有或是過去的僱主或同事進行這樣的評論：“i didnt agree with the companys direction。”“i got no recognition for my work。”“my boss was totally unreasonable。”鐵芸建議，要從自身發展的角度出發來回答：“i love my last job and really learned a lot from it, but i need a new platform and bigger space to make my career successful。”總之，要讓面試官知道，以前的公司在你的眼中並非一錢不值，你是懷著感激來評價他們的。
6. if we hire you，how long will you stay with us?
老闆想知道你會不會像離開上一份工作那樣很快也離開這家公司，你可以回答：“as long as my position here allows me to learn and to advance at a pace with my abilities. ”這樣就告訴老闆，你是希望同公司一起成長，不會輕易地離開。
應聘者在英語面試的過程中，一定要多說面試官喜歡的英語短語，只有這樣，你才能夠在英語面試中脫穎而出。
如何面試外企財務?
1. "what can you tell me about yourself?" this is not an invitation to give your life history. the interviewer is looking for clues about your character, qualifications, ambitions, and motivations.
the following is a good example of a positive response. "in high school i was involved in competitive sports and i always tried to improve in each sport i participated in. as a college student, i worked in a clothing store part-time and found that i could sell things easily. the sale was important, but for me, it was even more important to make sure that the customer was satisfied. it was not long before customers came back to the store and specifically asked for me to help them. i'm very competitive and it means a lot to me to be the best."
"關於你自己，你能告訴我些什麼?"這一問題並非在請你大談你的個人歷史。僱主是在尋找有關你性格、資歷、志向和生活動力的線索。
下面是一個積極正面回答的好例子："在高中我參加各種競爭性體育活動，並一直努力提高各項運動的成績。大學期間，我曾在一家服裝店打工，我發現我能輕而易舉地將東西推銷出去。銷售固然重要，但對我來說，更重要的是要確信顧客能夠滿意。不久便有顧客返回那家服裝店點名讓我為他們服務。我很有競爭意識，力求完美對我很重要。"
2. "why do you want to work for us? this is an obvious question and, if you have done your research on the company, you should be able to give a good reason. 0rganize your reasons into several short sentences that clearly spell out your interest.
"you are a leader in the field of electronics. your company is a fortune 5o0 company. your management is very progressive."
"你為什麼想為我們工作?"這是個明確的問題。如果你對該公司做過調查研究，你應該能夠給出很好的理由。你要將你的理由編成幾句簡短的話清楚地表明你的興趣。
如可答："你們在電子領域是領頭人。你們公司是《財富》雜誌評選的500強之一。你們的管理很先進。"
3. "why should i hire you?" once again, you should not be long winded, but you should provide a summary of your qualifications. be positive and show that you are capable of doing the job.
based on the internships that i have participated in and the related part-time experiences i have had, i can do the job.
"為什麼我應該聘用你?"同樣，你不應長篇大論，而應提供有關你資歷的扼要說明。要肯定自己，表明你能勝任此項工作。
如答："根據我參加過的實習和與此相關的打工經歷。我能勝任。"
4. "how do you feel about your progress to date?" never apologize for what you have done.
"i think i did well in school. in fact, in a number of courses i received the highest exam scores in the class." "as an intern for the x company, i received some of the highest evaluations that had been given in years.
"對於你至今所取得的進步你是怎樣看的?"絕不要對你以前的所作所為表示內疚。
如可答："我認為我在學校表現不錯。事實上，有好幾門功課我的成績居全班第一。""在某公司實習時，我獲得了該公司數年來給予其雇員的好幾項最高評價。"
5. "what would you like to be doing five years from now?" know what you can realistically accomplish. you can find out by talking to others about what they accomplished in their first five years with a particular company.
"i hope to be the best i can be at my job and because many in this line of work are promoted to area manager, i am planning on that also."
"從今以後5年內你想做些什麼?"你要清楚你實際上能勝任什麼。你可以事先和他人交流一番。問問他們在某公司的頭5年都做了些什麼。
如可答。"我希望能在我的職位上盡力做好工作，由於在同一領域工作的許多人都被提為區域負責人，所以我亦有此打算。"
6. "what is your greatest weakness?" you cannot avoid this question by saying that you do not have any, everyone has weaknesses.
the best approach is to admit your weakness but show that you are working on it and have a plan to overcome it. if possible, cite a weakness that will work to the company's advantage. "i' m such a perfectionist that i won't stop until a job is well done.
"你最大的弱點是什麼?"你不應該說你沒有任何弱點，以此來迴避這個問題;每個人都有弱點。最佳策略是承認你的弱點，但同時表明你在予以改進，並有克服弱點的計畫。
可能的話，你可說出一項可能會給公司帶來好處的弱點，如可說："我是一個完美主義者。工作做得不漂亮，我是不會撒手的。"
