13。 What is an ideal boss like? 你最喜欢的老板是什么样子的?
问题分析: 和上个问题一样, 面试官希望了解的是: 第一, 这份工作是否会让你满意?第二, 你一定会效仿你的老板, 如果你说自己喜欢的老板是能吃苦耐劳的, 那么你往往是一个吃苦耐劳的人; 如果你说喜欢自己的老板是高屋建瓴的, 那么你往往也是一个颇为注重宏观规划的人。要格外注意的是, 如果面试你的人恰恰就是你未来的老板, 那么这个问题可要小心了, 如果你所做的描述和他的个性风马牛不相及, 可能令面试功亏一篑。
普通回答: I like democratic bosses。 They can give me enough room to develop on my own; rather than giving instructions to me for every small detail。
点评: 这个回答比较危险, 明显地表现出该申请人追求“自由化”的性格特点, 会令很多面试官觉得心里一沉。所以说, 在回答这个问题的时候, 要走“保守主义”路线, 尽量不要给人一种“初生牛犊不怕虎”的感觉, 而要表现出谦虚谨慎、 积极、 诚恳等特点。再者说, 这个回答明显在给老板提要求, 当你对比下面这个回答示范的时候, 你就会明白一个道理: 给老板提要求, 远远不如请老板给自己提要求令人喜欢。
回答示范1: Ideal boss? Well; I prefer strict bosses。 Although working with strict bosses means a lot of pressure; I can grow fast with them。 For new graduates; nothing is more important than developing our abilities as fast as we can。

14。 What were the best aspects of your last job? 在上一份工作中, 你最喜欢的是什么地方?
问题分析: 在这个问题上, 面试官要捕捉的信息点是: 第一, 这个申请人是个什么样的人?如果你是一个小秘书却喜欢有挑战, 那么你很可能还停留在好高骛远的不成熟阶段; 如果你喜欢原来的老板给你很大的自由发展空间, 那么你很可能是个“自由派”, 不太喜欢约束, 等等; 第二, 你所申请的工作到底是否会让你满意?如果这一份工作内容和你最喜欢的工作内容大相径庭, 比如说, 你喜欢有挑战而偏偏这份工作很细节, 那么面试官可能会因为“自惭形秽”而拒绝你的申请。所以, 你所强调的最喜欢的地方一定要在新工作中Yesterday once more才行。
回答示范1: The best aspect of my last job? Let me see。 Well; I think it was the trust of my boss。 He gave me lots of room to develop myself; you know; letting me shoulder responsibilities。 And I didn’t let him down。 I did a good job。

I think it’s the team I work with。 As a sales assistant I work with the sales reps on a daily basis。 It’s so interesting to work with them; as you can imagine the sales reps are all active and humorous guys。 I can learn so much from them。 After working with them for a year and a half; I feel I have 〃inherited〃 their good traits。 Im tougher; more positive and a lot better at pleasing others; hehe。

15。 What were the worst aspects of your last job? 在上一份工作中, 你最讨厌的是什么地方?
问题分析: 这是一个比较棘手的一个问题, 说得虚伪了没有人相信, 说得太真实又唯恐令面试官反感。
回答示范1: The worst aspect of my current job is definitely lack of job security。 My pay was delayed twice in the four months since I’ve worked there。 I joined this pany in hope of helping the boss to grow a small business into a bigger one。 However; it proved a lot more difficult than I expected。 The boss is very reluctant to invest in promotion。 As a result; business has been rather slow。

回答示范3: The worst part of my current job is that it’s too quiet。 As it’s a branch liaison office it only has five people。 And I don’t have enough workload。 Sometimes I have little to do for the whole week! I really feel bored of working there。 I’d like to have a busier job。 You know; more responsibilities; more sense of achievement。
点评3: 因为工作太清闲而辞职, 这样的人儿谁不爱?No work; no future。 年轻的你就应该忙碌起来。
