关于英语面试问题一

　　1. How would you describe yourself

　　Sample excellent response:

　　My background to date has been centered around preparing myself to become the very best financial consultant I can become. Let me tell you specifically how Ive prepared myself. I am an undergraduate student in finance and accounting at _________ University. My past experience has been in retail and higher education. Both aspects have prepared me well for this career.

　　2. What specific goals, including those related to your occupation, have you established for your life

　　Sample excellent response:

　　I want to be working for an excellent company like yours in a job in which I am managing information. I plan to contribute my leadership, interpersonal, and technical skills. My long-range career goal is to be the best information systems technician I can for the company I work for.

　　3. How has your college experience prepared you for a business career

　　Sample excellent response:

　　I have prepared myself to transition into the work force through real-world experience involving travel abroad, internship, and entrepreneurial opportunities. While interning with a private organization in Ecuador, I developed a 15-page marketing plan composed in Spanish that recommended more effective ways the company could promote its services. I also traveled abroad on two other occasions in which I researched the indigenous culture of the Mayan Indians in Todos Santos, Guatemala, and participate din a total language immersion program in Costa Rica. As you can see from my academic, extracurricular, and experiential background, I have unconditionally committed myself to success as a marketing professional.

　　4. Please describe the ideal job for you following graduation.

　　Sample excellent response (equates ideal job with job hes interviewing for):

　　My ideal job is one that incorporates both my education and practical work skills to be the best I can be. Namely combining my education in finance with my working knowledge of customer service operations, entrepreneurial abilities, computer skills, and administrative skills. I want to utilize my analytical expertise to help people meet their financial goals. This is exactly why I am convinced that I would be a very valuable member of the Merrill Lynch team.

　　5. What influenced you to choose this career

　　Sample excellent response:

　　My past experiences have shown me that I enjoy facing and overcoming the challenge of doing some technical research. Without a doubt, once I have practiced my presentation and prepared myself for objections, I feel very confident approaching people I dont know and convincing them that they need my product. Lastly, I like sales because my potential for success is limited only by how much of myself I dedicate toward my goal. If any profession is founded on self-determinism, it surely must be sales.

　　6. At what point did you choose this career

　　Sample excellent response:

　　I knew that I wanted to pursue information systems technology about my sophomore year in college. It was then that I realized that my that my hobby (computers) was taking up most of my time. My favorite courses were IT courses. I also realized that I was doing computer-oriented work-study that I enjoyed so much I would have done it for free.

　　7. What specific goals have you established for your career

　　Sample excellent response:

　　My goals include becoming a Certified Financial Advisor so I can obtain a better working knowledge of financial research analysis, which would allow me contribute to my client base as a better financial consultant since I would have that extra insight into the companies they are seeking to invest in. Also this is the foundation block to advancing my career to portfolio manager or even branch office manager.

　　8. What will it take to attain your goals, and what steps have you taken toward attaining them

　　Sample excellent response:

　　Ive already done some research on other workers at Merrill Lynch to see how they achieved similar goals. I know that Merrill Lynch encourages the pursuit and will reimburse for tuition of a graduate degree. I plan on pursuing a MBA to give me an even more extensive knowledge of business and financial analysis.

　　9. What do you think it takes to be successful in this career

　　Sample excellent response:

　　I believe successful salespeople put forth that extra effort that turns potential clients into first-time customers. Salespeople who attend to the details by doing whatever it takes to win over a prospective customer distinguish themselves from the countless others who dont go to any extra effort. Second, I think that if you label success as an attainable goal, you will never consistently remain successful. You can only succeed if you learn all there is to learn about your product, your competitors, and personal selling. Since this learning process is continuous, its an unattainable goal. With good reason, salespeople should not consider success an attainable ending point but an objective that will always linger slightly beyond their reach.

　　10. How do you determine or evaluate success Give me an example of one of your successful accomplishments.

　　Sample excellent response:

　　Last semester I was hired by by universitys Council for Student Activities. The group negotiates contracts of entertainers, sets up sound equipment, markets the entertainers to students, and generally decides what kind of programming should be done. When I got hired, I didnt know the first thing about how fill any of those responsibilities. I decided, however, that I wasnt going to fail. Four months later, I have become the Webmaster for the group. I also write our campus newsletter and created Game Night, a student competition of table games. That event yielded the biggest audience ever for a non-concert event.

　　关于英语面试问题二

　　1. Do you have the qualifications and personal characteristics necessary for success in your chosen career

　　Sample excellent response:

　　I believe I have a combination of qualities to be successful in this career. First, I have a strong interest, backed by a solid, well-rounded, state-of-the-art education, especially in a career that is technically oriented. This basic ingredient, backed by love of learning, problem-solving skills, well-rounded interests, determination to succeed and excel, strong communication skills, and the ability to work hard, are the most important qualities that will help me succeed in this career. To succeed, you also need a natural curiosity about how systems work -- the kind of curiosity I demonstrated when I upgraded my two computers recently. Technology is constantly changing, so you must a fast learner just to keep up or you will be overwhelmed. All of these traits combine to create a solid team member in the ever-changing field of information systems. I am convinced that I possess these characteristics and am ready to be a successful team member for your firm.

　　2. What has been your most rewarding accomplishment

　　Sample excellent response:

　　A recent satisfying accomplishment I was sent to one of our branch banks that was notorious for not growing their loan base. The branch had logged $75,000 in new loans in an 8-month period prior to my arrival. Having a reputation as a hired gun when it came to loan production I was successful in the solicitation and booking of $700,000 in my first six months at the branch.

　　3. If you could do so, how would you plan your college career differently

　　Sample excellent response:

　　I wouldnt change anything. All that I have done was a great learning experience that I will carry forward throughout the rest of my life.

　　4. Are you more energized by working with data or by collaborating with other individuals

　　Sample excellent response:

　　I like the validity of information and also like the energy that comes with working with people. The best thing about working in a group is combining the great minds from different perspectives and coming up with something extremely great, compared with when youre working alone. At the same time, information can generate vitality in the project youre working on. No matter how many heads youve got together, without information, you cant go very far. The perfect situation would be a combination of working with information and people, and Im confident of my abilities in both areas.

　　[Submitted by Stacey]

　　5. How would you describe yourself in terms of your ability to work as a member of a team

　　Sample excellent response:

　　I have had many opportunities in both athletics and academics to develop my skills as a team player. My tenure as a rower with my colleges crew team serves as a good example. I learned a great deal about teamwork while rowing because all the rowers in the boat must act as one, which meant that we incessantly worked to keep each movement in the boat synchronized. On an individual basis, we still worked toward group goals through weightlifting and land-rowing. My experience as a marketing research team leader also helped me to learn the role of team player. I viewed my position as that of group leader and of group member. I ensured that everyone in the group had equal opportunity to contribute, maintained excellent communication among group members, and coordinated their energies toward reaching our teams goal.

　　6. What motivates you to put forth you greatest effort

　　Sample excellent response:

　　You would think that because I am interested in sales, only financial compensation would motivate me to achieve. Although monetary rewards are important to me, I am driven to succeed internally. More than anything, I want to be respected by my friends and coworkers for being the best at what I do. Whether I am considered to be the best car detailer in my hometown or the best columnist for my college newspaper, I want to be recognized as the best.

　　7. Given the investment our company will make in hiring and training you, can you give us a reason to hire you

　　Sample excellent response:

　　I sincerely believe that Im the best person for the job. I realize that there are many other college students who have the ability to do this job. I also have that ability. But I also bring an additional quality that makes me the very best person for the job -- my attitude for excellence. Not just giving lip service to excellence, but putting every part of myself into achieving it. In college and at my previous jobs, I have consistently reached for becoming the very best I can become. I think my leadership awards from my college, and my management positions are the result of possessing the qualities youre looking for in an employee.

　　8. Would you describe yourself as goal-driven

　　Sample excellent response:

　　Yes, and I demonstrated my goal orientation as president of the local Jaycees, a community service organization. I am very proud of the fact that I set a goal of signing 50 new members by the end of the year, and I accomplished that.

　　9. Describe what youve accomplished toward reaching a recent goal for yourself.

　　Sample excellent response:

　　My first few years in banking had me on the fast track to branch management. I realized at some point along the way that my true passion was in offering financial advice not limited to checking accounts and loans. It was at that point that I made the necessary arrangements to go back to school full-time to pursue my goal, which I am just about to achieve.

　　10. What short-term goals and objectives have you established for yourself

　　Sample excellent response:

　　My short-term objectives are to graduate from the Professional Development Program before the standard two years and begin developing a clientele. As an intern, I prepared ahead of time by studying for the Series 7 and Series 64 exams that constitute a majority of a beginning financial consultants time. Id like to make make the company that hires me wonder what it ever did without me.
