hello everyone and welcome back to

english with lucy today I'm going to be

talking to you about job interview

questions and how to answer them let's

get started in this lesson we're going

to discuss seven of the most commonly

used interview questions how to answer

them correctly and how to tailor the

answers to your personal skills and

experience this particular lesson is

going to cover seven of the questions

which are easier to answer absolutely

everyone who is preparing for a job

interview

must have their answers prepared and

perfected in the following lesson part

two we'll be discussing some of the most

complex questions I highly recommend

that you follow both lessons carefully

it's tempting to skip to the advanced

lesson but if you don't know the basics

you'll fall at the first hurdle please

take the opportunity to write out model

answers in the comments down below and

use each other for inspiration if you

would like to offer someone else the

opportunity to correct your English or

give constructive criticism on your

answers you can start off by saying that

feedback is welcomed the first interview

question is can you tell me about

yourself

this question seems so simple but

frequently candidates fail to prepare

for it you don't want to say too much

but you don't want to say too little

either what you should prepare is a

clear and concise answer that builds a

connection between you and the

interviewer and shows why you are the

perfect person for the job

the formula for answering this question

is easy start with the present follow

with the past and finish with the future

the present is where you are right now

for the past touch on where you were

before and the skills and experience you

gained for the future show how excited

and eager you are for this new

opportunity for example I'm currently a

sales intern at the coffee bean Co where

I'm being mentored by the head of sales

before that I was studying for a

business degree at the University of

Chelsea and working at a shoe shop

franchise where I developed my sales

skills I really enjoyed the sales

aspects of the retail position and now I

would love to work in a corporate sales

position and take on more responsibility

which is why I am so excited about this

Sales Manager position you don't need to

tell them your name or your age or where

you're from they'll be able to work that

out from your CV don't waste time

telling them irrelevant information that

they already know question number two is

how did you hear about this position

when I was first asked this question I

thought it was just used for feedback to

the company they just want to know which

job advertising platform is working best

for them right

well actually this question can offer

you a real foot in the door but if you

mess it up it can seem like you are

mindlessly applying for millions of

positions if you found out about the job

from a professional contact or a friend

in the company you can name drop them

especially if you think that they would

be a good reference for you just don't

go overboard as it may seem like you are

using them say something like I was

excited to find out about the job from

my friend who works in the accounting

department here if you search for the

company specifically emphasize that it

will show how keen you are to work at

this specific company if you discovered

the company through an event or an

article you can also share that and if

you found the job advert on social media

or in a job board share what caught your

eye about the role and made it stand out

amongst the rest for example I was

browsing the indeed platform and when I

saw the offer from this company I was

really keen to apply the job description

and requirements matched my profile

perfectly

forgetting where you found the job is

the mother of all mistakes you should

keep a document detailing the jobs that

you've applied for and where you found

each job question number three is why do

you want to work here this is your

chance to show the interviewer how

passionate you are about the company and

the position you need to show how much

you know about the company so for this

question research is key spend time

searching the company how it started its

morals its clients its projects how it

works

everything for example if you're

applying at an educational charity you

could say I've always been passionate

about education and I've seen firsthand

the work that you do I have always

wanted to be a part of it I was

especially impressed when I found out

that your teams are so small I

originally thought that you would have

so many employees due to the sheer

amount of work you do I love working as

part of a small team and seeing my work

make a real impact is so rewarding

you should also align your skills and

experience with the role you should take

key parts of the job description and the

job requirements and add them to your

personal profile for example the part

that really got me excited was the

opportunity to present on a regular

basis I had to present in front of an

audience at my previous role and this

position would give me a chance to

present about something I am incredibly

passionate about

question number four is what are your

strengths with this question it's easy

to say a load of positive adjectives and

we'll talk about those later but

interviews will have heard them all

before the big part of this question is

justification you need to justify each

strength you give and apply it to the

job role for example I'm very logical

and in my previous position I managed to

rethink an entire delivery process

reducing each delivery time by four

minutes I communicated it to my boss and

after a successful implementation they

still use my process today

question number five is how would your

boss describe you first of all the most

important thing is be honest if they

really consider you for the job the

hiring manager will be calling your

former bosses and co-workers the easiest

way to answer this question is to

paraphrase a recent positive performance

review you should specifically reference

where you're getting this information

from this makes it easier to describe

yourself as trustworthy dedicated and

creative without feeling like you're

boasting you'll also want to give some

big-picture context about your role and

responsibilities to fill in the gaps

around your answer another way to do

this is to start off with a positive

story about something that you've done

and conclude it with how your boss or

coworkers would describe you since this

question is pretty open-ended it's a

really good opportunity for you to share

something that you really want to

mention in the interview but you haven't

had a chance to yet if you simply can't

think of anything here is another

approach you could try think about three

positive traits that you bring to your

workplace then have a short example

after each

for example I'm a good negotiator I

managed to negotiate a better price on

our stationery last year

question number six what is your dream

job career advisors think of good jobs

as an intersection of your skills

interests and values that's a really

good way for you to approach this

question talking about your skills will

give you an opportunity to sell yourself

which we'll talk about later your

interests will show your passions and

your investment and your values can help

illustrate your fit within the company

an example would be I've mentioned my

experience with programming so my dream

job would definitely have to relate to

that in terms of the industry while I'm

really interested in sports so something

related to that would be good in my

career I really value having a good

relationship with my co-workers that's

the reason why I'm so excited to be

interviewing for this position the vibe

in the office is amazing

question number seven is where do you

see yourself in five years time this can

feel like a bit of a trick question

because sometimes what you want to say

is not here or in your job or something

like at a bigger better opportunity

realistically those aren't going to be

good answers think about where this

position could take you and consider how

that aligns with some of your broader

professional goals for example you could

say I'd like to be seen as someone with

expertise in the energy sector which is

something that I know I'll have an

opportunity to do here I'm also really

excited to take on more managerial

responsibilities in the next few years

and potentially even take the lead on

some projects

right those were seven of the slightly

easier interview questions and how to

answer them

in the next lesson we'll be discussing

the more complex ones don't forget to

share your model answers in the comments

down below and give people feedback if

they want it that's it for this lesson I

hope you enjoyed it and I hope you

learned something don't forget to

connect with me on all of my social

media I've got my facebook my Instagram

and my Twitter and I shall see you soon

for another lesson nuts

大家好，欢迎

今天和 lucy 一起回到英语。我将

和大家讨论求职面试

问题以及如何回答这些问题让

我们开始这一课，我们

将讨论七个最常用的

面试问题如何

正确回答它们以及如何

根据您的个人技能和

经验定制答案 本课程

将涵盖七个

更容易回答的问题 绝对

每个准备

面试的人都

必须准备好并

完善以下答案 第二

部分我们将讨论一些最

复杂的问题我强烈

建议你仔细学习这两节课

很容易跳到高级

课程但是如果你不知道基础知识

你会在第一个障碍中掉下来请

采取 有机会

在下面的评论中写出典型的答案，

如果您

想为其他人提供

机会，可以互相利用以获得灵感 o 纠正你的英语或

对你的答案提出建设性的批评

你可以先说

欢迎反馈 第一个面试

问题是你能告诉我你自己吗

这个问题看起来很简单，但

候选人经常没有

准备好你不想要的 说得太多

但又不想说得

太少 你应该准备的是一个

清晰简洁的答案，它可以

在你和面试官之间建立联系，

并说明为什么你是

这份工作

的完美人选 回答这个问题的公式 问题

很容易 从现在开始

跟随过去 以未来结束

现在就是你现在

所处的位置 过去触及你

以前的位置以及你为未来获得的技能和经验

表明你是多么的兴奋

和渴望 例如，对于这个新

机会，我目前是

咖啡豆公司的销售实习生，在此

之前我正在接受销售主管的指导，然后我正在学习一个

企业 在切尔西大学获得学位

并在一家鞋店特许经营店工作，在

那里我

培养了我的销售技能

我对这个销售经理职位感到非常兴奋，

您无需

告诉他们您的姓名或年龄或

您来自哪里，他们将能够

从您的简历中解决这个问题 不要浪费时间

告诉他们无关的信息，

他们 已经知道第二个问题是

当我第一次被问到这个问题

时你是怎么知道这个

职位的

可以让

你真正踏入第一步，但如果你

搞砸了，如果你从专业联系人或朋友那里得知这份工作，你似乎是在

盲目地申请数百万个

职位

在公司里，你可以说出他们的名字，

特别是如果你认为它们

对你来说是一个很好的参考，只是不要太

过分，因为看起来你正在

使用它们，就像我很

高兴从

我在会计部门工作的朋友

如果您搜索该

公司特别强调，如果您通过活动或文章发现该公司，这

将表明您对在这家特定公司工作的热情，

您也可以分享，如果

您 在社交媒体或工作委员会上找到招聘广告，

分享什么引起了您

对该职位的关注并使其

在其他职位中脱颖而出，例如，我正在

浏览确实的平台，当我

看到这家公司的报价时，我

真的很想 申请职位描述

和要求完全符合我的个人资料

，

忘记你在哪里找到这份工作

是所有错误的根源你应该

保留一份文件，详细说明

你申请的工作以及你在哪里 你发现

每个工作的第三个问题是

你为什么要在这里工作这是你

向面试官展示

你对公司有多热情的机会，

以及你需要展示你对公司了解多少的职位，

所以对于这个

问题的研究是 关键花时间

搜索公司它是如何开始它的

道德它的客户它的项目它

是如何运作的

一切例如如果你

在一个教育慈善机构申请你

可以说我一直

对教育充满热情并且我亲眼

目睹了 你愿意 我一直

想成为其中的一员 当我

发现你们的团队如此之小时，我印象特别深刻 我

原本以为你们会

因为你所做的大量工作而拥有这么多员工

我喜欢作为

一部分工作 一个小团队，看到我的工作

产生真正的影响是非常有益的，

你还应该将你的技能和

经验与你应该承担

工作描述和

工作要求的关键部分的角色保持一致 并将它们添加到您的

个人资料中，例如

真正让我兴奋的部分是

有机会定期展示

我必须

在我以前的角色中展示在观众面前，这个

职位将使我有机会

展示一些东西 我

对

第四个问题充满热情，你在这个问题上的优势是什么？很

容易说一堆积极的形容词，

我们稍后会讨论这些，但

在这个问题的很大一部分是

你的理由之前，面试会听到他们的全部内容 需要证明

你给予的每一个优势并将其应用到

工作角色中，例如，我非常合乎逻辑

，在我以前的职位上，我设法

重新考虑了整个交付过程，

将每个交付时间缩短了四

分钟

成功实施 他们

今天仍然使用我的流程

问题五是你的老板会如何

描述你 首先最

重要的是如果他们诚实

真正考虑你的工作，

招聘经理会打电话给你的

前任老板和同事

回答这个问题的最简单方法是

解释最近的积极绩效

评估，你应该特别参考

你从哪里获得这些信息

，这样更容易 将

自己描述为值得信赖的敬业和有

创造力的人，而不是在

吹嘘自己还想提供一些

有关您的角色和责任的全局背景

以填补

您答案周围的空白另一种

方法是从以下内容开始 一个

关于你所做的事情的正面故事，

并以你的老板或

同事如何描述你

作为结尾，因为这个问题非常开放，这是一个

非常好的机会让你分享

你

在面试中真正想提到的东西，但是 如果您根本想不出任何东西，您还

没有机会在

这里是另一种

方法，您可以尝试考虑三个

积极特征 在你带到你的

工作场所然后有一个简短的例子

在

每个例子之后我是一个很好的谈判者我

去年设法为我们的文具谈判了一个更好的价格

问题第六题你的梦想工作是什么

职业顾问认为好工作

是一个交叉点 你的技能

兴趣和价值观 这

对你来说是解决这个

问题的好方法 谈论你的技能

会给你一个推销自己的机会

说明您在公司中的适应度

一个例子是我提到了我

的编程经验，所以我的梦想

工作肯定必须

与行业相关，而我

对体育真的很感兴趣，所以

与此相关的东西会很好 在我的

职业生涯中，我非常重视与同事建立良好的

关系，

这就是为什么我很高兴能

面试这个职位的原因

。 他的办公室太棒了

第七个问题是

五年后你在哪里看到自己这可能

感觉有点像一个棘手的问题，

因为有时你想说

的不是在这里或在你的工作中，或者实际上

是在更大更好的机会

这些不会是

好的答案 想想这个

职位可以带你去哪里，并考虑它如何

与你的一些更广泛的

职业目标保持一致，例如你可以

说我希望被视为

在能源领域具有专业知识的人

是我知道我将有

机会在这里做的事情我也很

高兴能

在未来几年承担更多的管理职责，

甚至可能在一些项目中发挥领导作用，

这就是其中七个稍微

容易一些的面试问题 以及如何

在下一课中回答它们，我们将

讨论更复杂的问题，不要忘记

在下面的评论中分享您的模型答案，

如果

t 嘿，这就是这节课的内容我

希望你喜欢它，我希望你

学到了一些东西不要忘记在

我所有的社交

媒体上与我联系我有我的脸书我的 Instagram

和我的推特我很快就会见到你

再上一课坚果
