不論是畢業後實習、找正職工作，
幾乎都會有面試的關卡。
面試已經夠難了，如果是英文面試豈不是更頭痛！
不過不用擔心，
在這篇文章，Engoo將教各位如何用英文回答三個最常見的面試問題，
好好筆記起來！
1. Tell us a bit about yourself.
介紹一下自己
自我介紹可能是你第一個會遇到的問題，
但面試不是交朋友，不要講到自己和工作或研究領域無關的興趣，
或是家庭背景等無關因素，
而是要多多談論自己現在或過去相關的經驗，增加競爭力。
例如：
1. I've been an accountant for seven years.
我從事會計師已經有7年的時間。
2. I work in marketing.
我在行銷產業工作。
3. I was responsible for managing our company's finances.
我負責管理公司的財務。
4. I'm in charge of a team of four people.
我管理一個四人的團隊。
5. Before this, I worked for a law firm.
在這之前，我在一家法律事務所工作。
接下來，聊聊這些經歷如何讓你獲得新技能或知識，讓你可以運用到下一份工作：
1. My experience as a nurse taught me how to work under pressure.
我當護士的經驗讓我學會如何在壓力之下工作。
2. Through this role, I learned the importance of time management.
這個角色讓我學習到時間管理的重要性。
3. Working in a large law firm equipped me with knowledge of many different industries.
在大型法律事務所的工作經驗，讓我具備許多不同領域的知識。
最後，簡短地講一下你為什麼會應徵這個職位：
1. I've grown in my current role, but I'd like to apply my experiences to a different industry.
我在目前的職位有所成長，但我想要將我的經驗應用到不同的產業。
2. Your company caught my attention because of its excellent reputation.
我被貴公司良好的聲譽所吸引。
可以參考以下這個回答範例是如何應用以上句型：
I've been a marketing manager for three years. I'm responsible for our company's email campaigns, social media accounts, and blogs. Before this, I worked in customer service at a bank and a hotel, where I was in charge of bookings and reservations.
My time in customer service and marketing have taught me how important it is to properly manage relationships with customers – and also how much I enjoy this aspect of business. So I started looking for other opportunities in this field and your company caught my attention because you focus specifically on solutions for customer relationship management.
我任職行銷經理一職已經三年，我負責我們公司的電子郵件活動、社群帳號管理和部落格。在這之前，我在一家銀行和飯店擔任客服，我當時負責訂房、預約的職務。
我在客服和行銷的經歷，讓我學會適當處理和顧客關係的重要性——也讓我發現我對這個領域的熱情。所以我也開始尋找該產業中的其他機會，從而被貴公司吸引，因為你們會特別注重
客戶關係維持的方法。
2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
你覺得你五年後會在做什麼？
這個問題就是讓你展現自己蓬勃的上進心（野心）的時候了。
你可以說說你打算如何在這段時間讓自己成長。
這邊的說法可以幫助你表達個人成長：
1. I'd like to increase my industry knowledge by attending conferences.
我想要參加研討會來增加我的產業知識。
2. I'd love to further develop my graphic design skills.
我想要進一步加強我平面設計的能力。
3. I would take advantage of the company's internal training and mentoring programs.
我會善用公司內部訓練和指導計畫。
而這邊的說法可以用來談論對未來的期望和目標：
1. In five years, I will hopefully have become an expert in branding.
五年後，我希望可以成為品牌化的專家。
2. In five years, I’d like to have worked with some big clients.
五年後，我想要有大客戶合作的經驗。
3. One of my goals is to become a certified public accountant.
我的其中一個目標是要通過檢定，成為公共會計師。
4. I’m excited by the prospect of being sent overseas.
我對於外派機會的前景感到期待。
你可能也會想提到對管理階層的職位感興趣：
1. I'd like to take the lead in projects involving big clients.
我想要帶領跟大客戶合作的案子。
2. I'd love to have the opportunity to lead a team and learn some management skills.
我很樂意帶領團隊，並學習管理的能力。
3. If I have the chance, I'd love to be considered for a management role.
如果有機會的話，我會希望成為管理階層的人選。
As an entry level employee, I'm mainly interested in learning, so I definitely want to increase my industry knowledge and take advantage of the company's training programs to further develop my project management skills.
Also, since my last company served mainly start-ups, I'm excited about the prospect of working with large corporate clients. In five years, I'll hopefully have taken the lead in a few big projects. I'd also love to be considered for a leadership position on the team, if the opportunity arises.
作為基層員工，我學習很感興趣，所以我絕對會想要拓展我的產業知識，並利用公司的訓練計畫，進一步培養我的專案管理能力。
此外，因為我的前東家主要替新創公司服務，所以我對於和大型企業客戶合作感到非常期待。五年後如果有機會的話，希望我能帶領幾個大案子，也期望能成為團隊裡管理職缺的人選。
3. What are your salary expectations?
你期望薪水是多少？
這個問題在亞洲好像是魔王題之一，因為謙虛也不對，自信也不好，
不過在歐美國家，可以有一說一，覺得自己值多少就是多少。
每個職位都有一個預算，所以其實面試官問這個問題，是想要確認公司請得起你。
回答這個問題時，你可以給一個範圍。
要記得在英語系國家裡，薪水都是以年薪的概念來討論的。
1. I'm expecting a salary in the range of $45,000 and $60,000.
我期望薪水落在45,000和60,000元美金之間。
2. I'm looking to make around £30,000 to £35,000.
我希望年薪可以在30,000和35,000英鎊之間。
也許你也會想要簡短的解釋一下你的理由：
1. With my skills/experience/qualifications/certifications, I'd expect a salary of around $45,000 to $50,000.
因為我所擁有的技能/ 經驗/ 資格/ 證照，我會期望45,000和50,000元美金之間的薪水。
2. Based on my research/knowledge of the industry, positions like this pay in the range of £30,000 to £32,000.
根據我對該產業的研究/ 知識，像這類職缺的薪水會落在30,000和32,000元歐元之間。
有時候這些問題可能在面試的初期就會遇到，如果是這樣的話，
你就會需要更多的資訊，才能給一個確切的範圍。
你可以用以下說法：
1. I'd prefer discussing specific numbers after we've discussed the details of the position.
我比較希望在討論完這個職位的細節之後，再來討論確切的數目。
2. I'd like to learn more about what the position entails. From there, we can decide on a fair salary.
我想要先瞭解更多這個職位的工作內容，再一起決定一個合理的數字。
3. Could I first ask a few questions about the responsibilities of this role? I'll be able to provide a more accurate range that way.
我可以先了解一下這個職位的工作職責嗎？這樣我就能提供更確切的薪資範圍。
4. Can I ask what salary range you have in mind for this position?
我可以了解貴公司給這個職位的薪資範圍嗎？
最後，如果有其他因素會影響你的期望，你也可以提出來：
Could you tell me about your employee benefits? I heard that your benefits include a gym subscription as well as pet insurance. Benefits like this could allow me to be more flexible with salary.
可以請您跟我說明一下員工福利嗎？我聽說貴公司的福利包含健身房的會員和寵物保險，像這類型的福利能讓我對於薪資範圍保留更多彈性空間。
2. I would like to work remotely from my hometown in Brazil two months every year. If something like that could be arranged, I'd be open to negotiating my salary.
我希望每年可以在我的家鄉巴西遠端工作兩個月。如果可以這樣安排的話，我對於薪資的調整空間就比較大。
3. My salary is negotiable depending on the overall compensation package. In particular, I'd like to learn more about stock options and bonuses.
根據公司整體獎勵制度，我的薪資範圍其實是有很大的討論空間。我特別想要了解股票選項及獎金的福利。
以下是範例回答：
Based on my knowledge of the industry, similar positions in this region pay in the range of $50,000 to $60,000. With my qualifications, I'd expect a salary in the upper part of that range, so somewhere between $57,000 and $60,000.
However, I'd like to learn more about what the position entails as well as the overall compensation package, including bonuses and equity. From there, I'm sure we can figure out something we can both agree on.
根據我對這產業的了解，這個地區類似職位的年薪大概在50,000和60,000元美金之間。我會期望我擁有的條件能讓我的薪水落在該範圍的中上段，也就是57,000至60,000美元之間
不過，我想要再多了解這個職位的工作內容，以及整體的獎勵制度，像是獎金和股票的部分。之後我想我們就能討論出雙方都同意的數目。
