个生产部门，在这个部门里，我负有管理劳工关系、质量控制、产品设计和生产的职责。我相信这份工作有助于我实现我的职业目标。

避免要求职务头衔的企图，如果谈及职业头衔，那会让人觉得你固执、不切实际，因为你不懂得晋升的原则。同样，你不知道要花多长时间才能令面试官明白你的意思。应立足于你所申请的职位，描述你能为这个职位提供的新经验和职责。

q:where do you hope that your career will have progressed to in the next few years?

a:over the next few years id like to have progressed to the point where i have bottomline budget responsibility, and i'm also in charge of a production unit where i have laborrelations, qualitycontrol, design, and manufacturing responsibilities. i believe this job will go a long way to helping me meet my career goals.

问：你长远的职业计划是什么？

答：我长远的职业目标是成为知名的行业专家，而且获得受人尊重的管理职务，这个职务主要负责业务事项。我想，过一段时间我会在业务的许多方面拥有经验。

预见五年后的工作情况是合理的，但不要超出五年。说出业务变更的性质，尤其是高新技术领域，它能在短期内出现戏剧性的变化，要准确地计划出你将如何适应具体的工作是否可能。因此，重点说明你希望获取的经验类型（不是职业头衔）。

q:what are your longterm career plans?

a:my longterm career goals are to become known as an industry expert and to have earned a respectable management position with responsibility for a major piece of the business. id like to think ill have experience in many parts of the business over time.

问：这将是你的第一份工作，你怎么知道自己会喜欢走这条职业道路？

答：我在这一行确实没有工作经验，但我已向许多在贵公司有成就的朋友和校友请教过。我问他们“工作中最让你泄气的是什么?”和“你工作中最有价值的是什么?”从我所得的信息看，我有信心能很快适应贵公司的企业文化，而且今后几年根据自己的目标和价值观，我会获得应有的回报。

除非你做了一点准备，要不然，要把这个问题答得令人信服确实有难度。谈谈能让你评价机构文化或预见工作的情况，描述在这一行里你的良师益友。说明你对这一行感兴趣的原因，你如何对该企业有更多的了解，你如何跟上行业的发展。

q:since this will be your first job, how do you know you'll like the career path?

a:although its true that ive never worked a job in your industry, i've talked to many friends and alums at my school who've been successful in your company.

i always ask them the questions, “whats the most frustrating thing about your job?”and “whats the most rewarding thing about your job?” from the information ive gained, im confident that ill be able to adapt quickly to your culture and will find the next few years rewarding, based on my goals and values.

问：在你的职业生活中为什么这份工作适合你？

答：能胜任这份工作是建立在我广博的专业基础知识上的，我既做过海军通讯人员，又在两家软件公司工作过。作为项目经理，我能承担更广泛的责任。我已表示过我有能力既是不同团队的程序设计员又是工程师，同时又能承担主要资产预算的任务。

描述你想在现有的技术和兴趣基础上去获取的经历。据你所了解的关于该职位和部门今后的发展方向尽可能具体地谈这个问题。说明为何这个职位和你的个人职业目标相符合，你如何开创事业天地？

q:why is this job right for you at this time in your career?

a:this job would build on my extensive technical background both as a navy communications officer and in the two software companies where ive worked. i believe i'm now ready to assume broader responsibilities as a project manager. ive demonstrated my ability to handle the responsibility for both a diverse team of programmers and engineers and for major apital budgets.

问：比你现在这个职务更高的追求是什么？

答：除了作为销售助理，我认为我能从销售分析、品牌管理到部门管理不断地进步。我发现做这一行需要发展多种技能，而且我认为在你们的继续教育项目和我自己要求进步的动机下，我相信在机会来临时，我已做好了准备，这就是为什么我从基层做起的原因。

再次提醒，不要谈论具体的职务，顺其自然对你来说是合理的。如何做这份工作才会对公司有利？然后把话题转移到手头上的这份工作来。如果你对这份工作外的东西过分感兴趣，那么面试官会担心你在这个岗位上呆不久。

q:what are your aspirations beyond this job?

a:beyond this job as a marketing assistant, i see myself moving up through marketing analysis into brand management and eventually running a category. im aware that there are several skills i need to develop in the interval, and i believe with your continuingeducation program and my own motivation for selfimprovement, i'll have those skills when the pportunities arise for greater responsibility. that's why i'm determined to learn from the ground up, starting as a marketing assistant.

职业抱负

第二部分(6～10问)

问：你喜欢什么样的挑战？

答：我在服务业做了八年，而且逐步地在更大、更有知名度的酒店工作。

我熟悉食品与饮料方面的业务和酒店管理的业务，我相信能做好会议营业经理这项工作。

根据上一份工作中所学的来谈你下一步自然要发展的技能。你认为下一步要处理好什么事情？尽可能详细地谈及你所了解的有关这份工作和部门在目前或日后的发展方向。

q:what new challenges would you enjoy?

a:ive worked in the hospitality industry for over eight years and have progressively worked in larger, more prestigious hotels. i've learned the foodandbeverage side of the business and the hotelmanagement side, and now i believe i'm ready to be a conventionor conferencesales manager.



问：如果你能再从头开始，你会选择哪种职业？

答：一直以来我喜欢销售这一行，因为我不断进步。回首往事，我希望在职业生涯早期能积累更多的市场调查经验，因为这对于了解定量模型类型和专业研究技巧很重要，而这对于地区营销经理来说很重要。

面试官想知道你的职业方向（包括这次面试）对你来说是否不太称心。谨慎地表明你喜欢这个领域。展示你的见识，这些见识能让新手少走弯路、少费时间等等。

q:if you could start all over again, what direction would your career take?

a:ive always enjoyed consumer sales as i've moved up in my career. looking back, i wish i'd gotten a bit more experience in market research earlier in my career, because its important to understand the types of quantitative models and technicalresearch techniques that are now important for a regional sales manager to know.

问：工作中你在哪些方面还没有得到发展？

答：我在我公司的财务部门已经取得了很大的成就，这是家大公司。还在不同类型的两家工厂做过财务主任，在大公司办公室和商业规划领域做过资金预算工作。但是，至今我还没有机会在财政部工作。我学过金融专业，而且有几年金融经验，我相信现在我有能力担任这项职务，我下一步的目标就是要为成为顶尖的财政官员而不断努力。
