英语面试题和答案
4. "What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?"
“你最大的优势和弱点是什么?”
This question is quite a tricky one. There is a fine line between criticising yourself too much and sounding boastful. When talking about your weaknesses, focus on how you have overcomethose weaknesses to become a better employee. This way you're sneakily talking about strengths without sounding too big-headed.
这个问题比较难拿捏分寸。在过于自我批评和听起来像吹牛之间有一条界限。当你谈你的弱点时，集中讨论你如何克服这些弱点而成为了一个更好的职员。这样的话你是在暗中谈论你的优点而不显得太自大。
For example, if you're a naturally disorganised person, tell the interviewer how you devised a system to organise all of your workload as efficiently and clearly as possible. Or maybe one of your weaknesses is a lack of experience in a certain area of work? Tell the interviewer how you are enthusiastic about plugging that gap by working more in this area.
比如，如果你天生没有条理，告诉你的面试官你是如何想出一个系统来尽可能高效而清晰地管理你的工作任务。或者你的弱点可能是缺乏这一领域的工作经验?告诉你的面试官你是多么地充满激情通过在这领域多加工作来填补差距。

5. "What did you like best and least about your last job?"
“对于你上一个工作，你最喜欢和最不喜欢的方面是哪个?”
You may have hated your last job and everyone who worked there, but this is not the place to reveal that. Prospective employers want to hear positivity and good vibes from you. So remember to focus on work-related aspects that you enjoyed; for example, you could say you enjoyed opportunity to learn from more experienced employees and the supportive environment created by the managers.
你可能讨厌你上一个工作和所有在那工作的人，但是在这里不是你揭露你真实想法的地方。你未来可能的雇主想要从你这听到积极和好的反响。所以记住要专注于你享受的与工作有关的方面;比如，你可以说你享受从有经验的员工身上学习的机会和管理者营造的互相支持的气氛。
When talking about what you liked least, use it as an opportunity to show how enthusiastic you are about new challenges you would face in the new job (see question two). For example, talk about how you would have liked to work on more varied projects or to have been given more responsibility. This will make you sound ambitious and proactive.
当我们讨论你最不喜欢的方面时，使用这个机会来表现你对在新的工作中会遇到的新挑战(见第二个问题)的激情。比如，你可以讨论你是如何想从事不同的项目，或者承担更多的责任。这将使你显得更有雄心而积极主动。

6. "Give an example of a problem you faced at your last job and how you solved it."
“举例说明你在上一个工作中曾遇到过的困难及你是如何解决它的。”
This is the opportunity you've been waiting for to show the interviewer you really know the job inside and out. Give concrete, real-life examples of when you've used your skills to solve a problem. Try to focus on something which shows you as resourceful (creative and flexible),dynamic (proactive and engaging) and full of initiative (actionable and self-driven).
这是一个你一直等待的机会来给你的面试官展示你非常透彻地理解这份工作。给出具体，结合实际生活的例子来阐明你如何用你的能力解决了一个问题。尝试着把重点放在能表现你足智多谋(有创造力，灵活)，有活力(主动，积极参与)，充满首创精神(随时准备付诸实践，自我驱使)的方面。
If you are applying for a job in the same industry you work in now, feel free to use technical language to explain the problem and the solution. If it's a different industry, remember that your interviewer may not know what you're talking about; so instead use common every-day terms to explain what you did.
如果你在申请一个和你现在工作在同一个领域的工作，不要拘束使用技术用语来解释问题和解决办法。如果这是一个不同的行业，要记住你的面试官可能不了解你在说什么;因此，要使用日常用语来解释你做过什么。
