在美国的大学获得本科，硕士或博士学位，然后在一个专业对口的大公司工作几年，是许多中国留学生的梦想。但在就业竞争日趋激烈的今天，对于许许多多中国留学生而言，找工作之路堪称“一把辛酸泪”。

今天小编就和大家说说面试的时候会遇上的问题。

面试黄金法则

记住一条黄金法则： Its NOT about you! It's all about them!

永远站在聘人单位的角度想问题：他们想要什么想的人，他们想听什么样的答案。关心他们的需求，提供他们的需求。不要说类似这样的话：“这符合我的职业规划……”“我能学到很多，我能提高自己的专业水平……blablabla”。

Noboday cares about YOUR career path！

把你的思维转变成：你们想要什么？你们想找什么人？我该怎么贡献我的知识和技术去帮助你们实现你们的需要？记住工作面试的真相：他们不是在找那个有知识技能的人，他们是在找他们最喜欢的人。面试不是考试，不是人家问一句，你答一句。面试是交流，是认识和了解对方，是看你们来电不来电。Chemistry的结果，你控制不了。你能控制的，是微笑，是倾听，是回应，是让自己轻松，也让对方轻松。

缘分这法则，面试世界里照样适用。比较坑爹。不是你的，纵使你有万般武艺也没撤；是你的，你就是整场笑而不语，人家都要定你了。

真正的问题

面试问题准备之前干嘛？——猜题！想想如果你是recruiter，你得问面试者什么问题？面试潜台词的四大疑问——这些问题，他们永远不会说出口“问”你，但是所有的数据库问题其实都是在围绕这四条“中心思想”：

-Are you capable of doing this job? 你丫到底能不能干这工作？有这个技术能力不？

-Can you fit in this team? 你这人很刁吗？够随和不？以后可别反倒来欺负我们老员工。

-What value can you bring? 你就算有能力，你能贡献出啥来？能帮我们这儿改进得更好吗？

-Do you want this job? 你胃口大不？太贵了我们要不起啊。。

问题数据库

1、Why did you apply for this job?

几乎所有电面试、面面试的第一个问题。这算是一个开场白，好继而展开后面的对话。这个问题如果之前都没想明白，准备好，对答如流的话——那后面也就别玩了。

Tips：不要说，这个工作适合你，适合你的职业方向。把思维转变成：你的所学，正是能贡献给对方的。

2、What can you do for us that someone else cannot?

= Tell me something makes you different/special from other candidates. ≈ Why should we hire you? = now it’s your chance to explain you are a good candidate.

问题的问法稍有不同，但是大体意思是一样的，就是给你一个机会，说服他们，你比其他候选人出彩的地方。

3、Why do you want to work for us?

= Why do you want to work here? ≈What do you know about our company/organization/ our culture?

这个很明显，就是想知道你了解不了解他们公司。答案准备得越细越好。举个简单例子：如果你说，“贵公司上个月在X市举办的业内年会上，CEO就XX问题的演讲，给我留下深刻印象。我觉得这是XX行业的新动向。这也引起了竞争公司XX和XX的关注……” 就比你说“我知道贵公司是买鞋的”——要有力度的多。

4、Can you tell us a little more about your experience at XXXX company?

这是传说中的“过简历”。就是对方按着你的简历，逐一叫你谈谈过去的经历。回答的关键是：要往你现在申请的职位上贴合。

5、What is your salary range?

永远不要先开口提钱。就算对方提了，也要说：I am looking for a good opportunity, money is not really my motivator right now. 对方再逼问，就说：“May I know your salary range you would like to offer?”
