面试之中有奥秘

嘿哥们儿，我是Marco。

今天想聊些什么？

明天我要参加面试。你能帮我想想他们都会问什么问题吗？
A： Well，they may ask you to tell them about your educational background and your working background.
他们会问你关于你的教育背景和工作背景的问题。
B： But they can see my resume， it，s all in there.
但是他们可以看我的简历，都在那里呢。
A： I know，but sometimes，interviewers may want to hear you say it.Then，you may be asked for your viewpoint on why you feel you，re qualified for the job，give them all your qualifications and how you think they fit with the position you are applying for.Questions like “What sort of experience do you have and what are your goals？” are closely relately to this ，also.
我知道，但是有时面试者们想听你自己说。然后他们会问你为什么你觉得自己能胜任这份工作。把自身的优势都说出来，告诉他们你有能力胜任这份工作。有些问题像你有什么经验和你有什么目标与这个工作职位是紧密联系的。
B： Ok，what else？
好的，还有什么其他的吗？
A： They may want to know how the company will benefit，with your answers to questions like“What can you offer this company？”and “Why should I hire you？”
他们也许还想知道你会为公司带来什么样的利益。会问像“你能为公司带来什么？”，或是“我们为什么要用你”？这样的问题。
B： I see，what about salary？
我知道了。那工资呢？
A： Umm，they may ask you what kind of salary you had in mind，or simply tell you what the company is offering. I think the latter is more likely for a starting position，especially if you have little or no experience，and if they are seriously considering hiring you，they will probably want to know when you would be able to start working. And basically，that，s about it.
噢。他们可能会问你觉得工资应该是多少，或简单的告诉你公司的打算。我想从基层做起的话，后者的可能性要大一些。尤其是你没有工作经验的话，如果他们真的考率要用你的话，他们可能会问你，你什么时候会开始工作，一般就这些了。
B： Oh，thanks，Drew，you，ve helped me a lot.
谢了，Drew.你帮了大忙了。
A： anytime，bro.Anytime，let me know how it works out.
没事儿，兄弟，别忘了告诉我结果。
