英语面试题和答案

　　7. "What would you like to be doing five years from now?"

　　“你从现在起五年想要做什么?”

　　Ambition is a key requirement of any employee. If your prospective boss thinks you want to be successful, then he or she will presume you're going to work pretty hard. So, what should you say here? Well, this questions depends on the role you are applying for and the opportunities for career progression.

　　雄心是对任何一个雇员的关键要求。如果你未来可能的雇主认为你想要成功，那么他或她就会假定你会努力工作。所以，你应该怎么回答呢?这个问题取决于你申请的职位及职场发展的机遇。

　　Is this a corporate job where you can see a clear line from your lowly position to chief executive within ten years? Or is it more of a technical job where progressing means acquiring more skills and knowledge so you can work in more fields? It's best to have a good idea about this before you start the interview. Make sure you're confident about what opportunities are available to you, and be realistic! Saying you want your boss's job within five years may sound a little arrogant if you're applying for a relatively junior position.

　　这是一个你能清晰看到一条在十年内从基层升到主管的路线的共同工作吗?或者这是一个技术工作，取得进步可以获得更多的能力和知识从而使你能在更多的领域工作?在面试前最好了解清楚。对你面前的机遇要有信心，并且要实际一点!如果你在申请一个较为基层的职位，说你想要在五年内当上领导就显得有些太自大了。

　　Language to use:

　　使用的语言：

　　 Would like to have + past participle: I would like to have worked on much bigger projects and perhaps be leading a team.

　　 Would like to have+过去分词：我想在更大的项目里工作，或许领导一个团队。

　　 Would like to + be + verb-ing: I would like to be working more in a managerial role.

　　 Would like to+be+动词ing形式：我想要更多在管理职位上工作。

　　8. "Would you rather be in charge of a project or work as part of a team?"

　　“你更想领导一个项目还是作为成员在团队内工作?”

　　Is there a correct answer here? Or is this a bit of a trick question? Even if the job to which you're applying is a managerial role, there will always be times when you have to work equally with other people. On the other hand, if you're working as part of team there will be times when you're expected to take charge and show leadership. So… the ideal answer is: both!

　　这里有没有正确答案?这是不是一个有点难拿捏分寸的问题?即使你申请的这个工作是管理角色，总是有场合要求你和别人平等地工作。另一方面，如果你作为普通成员在团队内工作，也总有场合要求你负责并显示领导力。所以…理想的答案是：两者都想!

　　How can you say this without sounding dishonest? The best way to approach this is to talk about the benefits of both roles. For example, being able to communicate your vision to others is a rewarding part of being in charge of a project, while exchanging ideas with colleagues and learning new things is a great part of working as part of a team. Remember to stress that you have at least some experience in both roles.

　　你如何说出这个而不显得很不诚实?最好的方法是谈论这两个角色的好处。比如，管理一个项目的好处是能够有机会把你的洞察力与他人交流，而作为普通成员的好处是能够和同事交流想法并学习到新知识。记住要强调你在两个角色上都有经验。
