简明英语面试技巧
面试中最需要自信
普华永道人力资源部经理姜周红介绍说，一般在进行英语面试时，多是希望考查应聘者听说读写的实际操作能力。小组讨论是英语面试的重要一环，一般来说，小组讨论形式的面试其目的主要是要了解应聘者在团体中的工作反应。进一步说，面试官更多的是希望了解应聘者面对指责的态度。
姜周红说，在外企的面试中，除了笔试之外，面试中的'英语部分以考查应用能力为主，所以应聘者在面试当中最需要的是自信、敢说。不妨尽量采用简短明了的词汇来表达自己的意思。另外，切忌在面试当中抬高自己贬低别人。回答问题尽量自然，并作为小组成员之一在自己的负责范围内答题，也不要重复其他应聘者的答案。说话要流利，思维要连贯，层次要清晰，不要夹杂中文，可以用“well”、“however”这样的过渡词来给自己停顿和思考，同时，也使得自己的表述显得口语化一些。
面试前了解一下企业文化
新橙英语培训中心专业商务面试课程教师chie建议说，学生的先期准备主要是个人情况和业务方面。专业英语的准备要充足，有时会被要求用英语解释一个专业术语或解答一个技术问题。所以，在面试前不妨去公司的英文网站了解一下企业文化，这对与老板面谈会有帮助的。
chie介绍说，英语面试目前的趋势是通常设在一个类似于接待室的地方，而非特别准备的会场，由2－3个人负责面试。
外国人作为考官进行面试时，由于他们与我们的思维方式、习惯以及文化有所差别，因此必须熟悉他们的理解方式和语言表达方式。不同公司对外语水平的要求不同，有的只具备用外语接听电话的水平即可，也有的要求用外语从事一般性工作。因此，应聘者必须准确了解应聘公司的外语使用程度和目的等信息后，再做出相应的对策。
