序
在現今競爭異常激烈的就業市場上,想要略勝他人一籌的關鍵是什麼?考試分數?成績排名?得獎經驗?還是證照張數多寡?這些不能說完全不重要,但是在這個已然是地球村的就業市場上,致勝的首要關鍵是要有「國際觀」。
台灣已是一個邁入國際化的社會,國內有很多的外商或大企業的求職面談皆須使用英文進行;另外,若是想去其他國家求職,英文更是面談時會使用的第一語言。為了滿足求職面談和英文表達這兩大需求,並幫助讀者前進國際職場,筆者因而有了《外商.百大英文面試勝經》一書的構想。希望本書的誕生在讀者的求職路上和英語表達方面能有所助益。的確,若能排除語言的障礙,在國際職場您就能秀出自己的專長和優勢,讓自己真正地「被看見」!
本書包括三大部分,分別是「你一定要知道的面試策略」、「英文面試一定要會回答的 100 個問題」、「面試好用字彙補給」,附錄則是為爭取面試機會的「求職書信準備」。第二部分面談最常被問到的 100 個問題與參考答案是本書的重點。這100個問題可說是筆者在外商資訊產業工作近十五年的親身經驗,或是自己曾經聽聞蒐集到的問題集。書中除針對每個問題提供「面試一點通」和「有力簡答」、「深入詳答」兩種參考答案之外,還收錄了「必通實用句型」及「面試好用字彙」,希望可以協助求職者在準備面談的同時,也能增進自身英語程度與重要字彙的運用能力。
在此特別強調,讀者雖然身處台灣,但眼光要放大、放遠,必須培養出和世界接軌的國際觀。因此,在準備面談題目與回答時,無須分別這是「外商會問的問題」或「台灣公司會問的問題」,須知面談發問權主要是掌握在面試官手上,他或她會問什麼問題,不可能事先透露或可精準預測。本書以不同的角度出發,將外商企業面談時的多樣化問題仔細歸納整理,盡量涵蓋外商雇主可能提及的問題,讓求職者先有概念並預想答案,思考如何呈現自己的長處和優勢,最大化並有效地推銷自己。
熟悉了英語面談的問答架構之後,再搭配逐步培養出的英語能力,這對求職者而言將會是如虎添翼,肯定能提高錄取的機會。當然,準備英語面談不僅僅只是為了得到一份工作就了事,更進一步深層的意義是,讀者可藉由揣摩問題和答案建立起一個屬於自己「具邏輯性」的思考模式。這樣的思考模式在往後進入職場後的溝通將會有莫大的助益。
