“你為什么要應聘本公司”也是面試時一個常常會被問到的問題。這時候，你之前對公司資料的收集就能派上用場了。你可以簡單的說一下你對公司的了解，當然，適當?shù)目湟幌鹿臼怯泻锰幍模遣灰^火。我們來看看 Tom 和 Peter 是怎樣回答這個問題的吧！

Watson: What made you choose this company?
Tom: Your company has a very good reputation, not only because your products are of high quality, but also your due to your well-constructed management system. I want to contribute to such an outstanding company which cares not only about the customer' needs, but also about the welfare of employees.
Watson: What do you know about this company?
Tom: I know this is one of the biggest trading companies in the world. It was established in London in 1940, with a total of 40 million US dollars. It employs more than 17,000 staff throughout the world.
Watson: Why do you consider yourself qualified for the job?
Tom: I have the educational background and relevant experience required for the position. Besides, I am a very good team player and have the desire to succeed.
Watson: What interests you most about this job?
Tom: I like to work in a team and enjoy solving problems.

Notes：

1. What made you choose this company? 你為什么會選擇這家公司。make someone do something，讓某人做某事。

2. 那 Tom 是怎樣回答的呢？他說，你們的公司在業(yè)內(nèi)有很好的聲譽，不僅你們的產(chǎn)品質量很好，而且你們的管理也很優(yōu)秀。Earn a good reputation，贏得好名聲。Tom在這里把這家公司夸了一通，這是很必要的，因為沒有人會來應聘自己不喜歡的公司。即使你對公司不是很了解，也可以說一些套話。但是如果你認為這家公司存在很多問題，面試的時候可不是提出來的好機會，你可以把它們留到上任以后再說。

3. 說完了公司，就應該說說自己的原因了。這是一個向考官陳述你的職業(yè)目標的好機會。Tom說他想為既照顧顧客的利益，又兼顧員工的福利的公司工作，其實這還是從另一個角度在夸獎這家公司。考官接著又問，What do you know about this company? 你對這家公司了解多少？這時候你就可以把自己在面試之前收集整理的信息告訴考官了。這里同樣要挑最主要的說，可以在面試之前打好草稿。

4. Why do you consider yourself qualified for the job? 你為什么認為自己適合這份工作？這時候你就可以把你自己的能力和優(yōu)點盡量展示出來。這里 Tom 說的是the educational background and relevant experience，相關教育背景和工作經(jīng)驗，I am a very good team player and have the desire to succeed. 我有很強的團隊合作精神，并且向往成功。一般來說這幾點都是非常重要的，你可以在自己參加面試的時候用。

5. What interests you most about this job? 這份工作的哪個方面讓你最感興趣？其實，這還是在問你為什么會選擇這家公司，Tom回答說是因為喜歡團隊合作共同解決問題。你可以根據(jù)自己的情況來制定自己的答案。

Dialogue 2

Watson: What's your career objective?
Peter: I hope to lead an energetic and productive sales team.
Watson: What do you consider important when looking for a job?
Peter: I think the most important thing is the nature of the job. One should never do anything one is not interested in. To me, pleasant working conditions with co-operative staff are also important.
Watson: Why are you interested in working in this company?
Tom: My past experience is closely related to this job. I am confident I can do the job well.
Watson: What do you think you would bring to the job?
Tom: My business experience in China, mainly. I know a lot about how the Chinese market works and how business is done there.

Notes：

1.What's your career objective? 你的職業(yè)目標是什么？你的職業(yè)規(guī)劃對公司的發(fā)展也很重要，所以考官一般都會問這個問題。回答的時候要根據(jù)應聘職位的要求和自己的實際情況來確定自己的職業(yè)目標，不要好高騖遠，也不要妄自菲薄。

2. What do you consider important when looking for a job? 你認為找工作什么是最重要的？這就是在問你對工作的要求了，包括工作環(huán)境，同事關系等等。這個時候也要注意不要挑三揀四，毛病多多，以至于給人不好相處的壞印象。

3. Why are you interested in working in this company? 你為什么會對到這家公司工作感興趣？也就是問你為什么會來應聘這個公司的職位，只不過是換了一個問法。

4. What do you think you would bring to the job? 你認為你會為這個工作帶來什么？這個也是在問你的能力經(jīng)驗等等適不適合這個職位。
