Hello everyone and welcome back to English With Lucy.
Today, I'm going to be talking to you about job interview questions and how to answer them.
大傢伙，歡迎回到《跟著Lucy學英語》。
今天我要跟你們談論面試中的問題以及如何回答它們。
Let's get started.
In this lesson, we're going to discuss seven of the most commonly used interview questions, how to answer them correctly, and how to tailor the answers to your personal skills and experience.
我們開始吧。
本節課中，我們要討論七個面試中最常被問到的問題，如何回答它們，以及如何讓答案符合你的個人技巧和經歷。
This particular lesson is going to cover seven of the questions which are easier to answer.
Absolutely everyone who is preparing for a job interview must have their answers prepared and perfected.
本節課將涵蓋七個更容易回答的問題。
顯然每個人為面試做準備的人都必須提前準備他們的回答，並讓其完美。
In the following lesson, part two, we'll be discussing some of the most complex questions.
I highly recommend that you follow both lessons carefully.
在接下來的課程，第二部分中，我們要討論一些最複雜的問題。
我強烈推薦你們認真聽這兩節課。
It's tempting to skip to the advanced lesson but if you don't know the basics, you'll fall at the first hurdle.
Please take the opportunity to write out model answers in the comments down below and use each other for inspiration.
直接跳到高級課程確實很吸引人，但是如果你不掌握基礎，那麼你一開始就會馬失前蹄。
請抓住機會在下面的評論區寫下參考回答並且互相激發靈感。
If you would like to offer someone else the opportunity to correct your English or give constructive criticism on your answers, you can start off by saying that feedback is welcomed.
The first interview question is can you tell me about yourself?
如果你想要給其他人機會修改你的英語或對你的回答給出一些有建設性的評價，你可以從說「歡迎反饋」開始。
第一個面試問題就是你能跟我說說你自己嗎？
This question seems so simple, but frequently candidates fail to prepare for it.
You don't want to say too much, but you don't want to say too little either.
這個問題似乎很簡單，但是候選人往往沒有為這個問題做準備。
你不需要說很多，但是你肯定也不想說得太少。
What you should prepare is a clear and concise answer that builds the connection between you and the interviewer and shows why you are the perfect person for the job.
The formula for answering this questions is easy.
你需要準備的是一個清晰而簡潔的答案，它能夠建立起你和面試官之間的聯繫，並且能夠表明你是這個職位的不二人選。
回答這個問題的模板很簡單。
Start with the present, follow with the past, and finish with the future.
The present is where you are right now.
從現在開始說，然後回顧一下過去，最後展望一下未來。
現在指的是你現在的狀況。
For the past, touch on where you were before and the skills and experience you gained.
For the future, show how excited and eager you are for this new opportunity.
至於回顧過去，可以說一下你過去的狀況以及你獲得的技巧和經歷。
至於展望未來，請展示你對這個新機會感到多麼興奮和渴望。
For example, I'm currently a sales intern at The Coffee Bean Co, where I'm being mentored by the head of sales.
Before that, I was studying for a business degree at the University of Chelsea, and working at a Shoe Shop franchise, where I developed my sales skills.
比如，我現在是咖啡豆公司的一名銷售實習生，現在由銷售主管指導我。
在此之前，我一直在Chelsea大學學習商務學位，並且在Shoe Shop的一家分公司工作，在那裡我培養了我的銷售技巧。
I really enjoyed the sales aspects of the retail position, and now I would love to work in a corporate sales position and take on more responsibility, which is why I am so excited about this sales manager position.
You don't need to tell them your name or your age or where you're from.
我真的很喜歡零售崗位的銷售部分，而且現在我想要從事企業銷售的職位，並且承擔更多的責任，這也是我為這個銷售經理的職位感到興奮的原因。
你不需要告訴他們你的姓名、年齡或籍貫。
They'll be able to work that out from your CV.
Don't waste time telling them irrelevant information that they already know.
他們能從你的簡歷中獲得這些信息。
不要浪費時間告訴他們已經知道的無關信息。
Question number two is how did you hear about this position?
When I was first asked this question, I thought it was just used for feedback to the company.
第二個問題就是，你是怎麼知道這個職位的？
當我第一次被問到這個問題的時候，我當時認為這只是用來當做公司的反饋的。
They just want to know which job advertising platform is working best for them, right?
Well, actually this question can offer you a real foot in the door.
他們只是想知道哪個求職平臺對他們來說最有用，對嗎？
嗯，事實上這個問題能夠讓你一隻腳踏入門檻。
But if you mess it up, it can seem like you are mindlessly applying for millions of positions.
If you found out about the job from a professional contact or a friend in the company, you can name-drop them, especially if you think that they would be a good reference for you.
如果你沒回答好，你可能會讓人感覺你只是在廣撒網，不假思索地申請了無數個職位。
如果你是從這個公司的一個專業的聯繫人或朋友那裡知道的這個工作，那麼你可以說出他們的名字，尤其是如果你認為他們會是你的一個很好的參考人。
Just don't go overboard as it may seem like you are using them.
Say something like, I was excited to find out about the job from my friend who works in the accounting department here.
但是不要過火，因為這樣可能會讓人感覺你在利用他們。
可以這樣回答，我很興奮地從我的一個朋友那裡了解到這份工作，他在這裡的會計部門工作。
If you searched for the company, specifically emphasise that.
It will show how keen you are to work at this specific company.
如果你搜索查找了這個公司，請特別強調這一點。
這會表明你有多想在這個公司工作。
If you discovered the company through an event or an article, you can also share that.
And if you found the job advert on social media or on a job board, share what caught your eye about the role and made it stand out amongst the rest.
如果你是在某個活動或文章中發現了這個公司，你也可以跟他們分享這一點。
如果你是在社交媒體或招聘公告上看到的招聘廣告，告訴他們這個職位哪裡吸引了你的注意，從而使得它如此顯眼。
For example, I was browsing the Indeed platform and when I saw the offer from this company I was really keen to apply.
The job description and requirements matched my profile perfectly.
比如，我正在Indded平臺上瀏覽，當我看到這個公司的這個職位的時候，我真的很想申請。
職位描述和要求完美契合了我的履歷。
Forgetting where you found the job is the mother of all mistakes.
You should keep a document detailing the jobs that you've applied for and where you found each job.
忘記你在哪裡發現的這個職位是所有錯誤的起源。
你應該把你申請過的工作以及發現它們的地方詳細記錄在一個文件裡。
Question number three is why do you want to work here?
This is your chance to show the interviewer how passionate you are about the company and the position.
第三個問題是，你為什麼想要在這裡工作？
這是你向面試官展示你對這個公司和職位有多熱情的機會。
You need to show how much you know about the company, so for this question research is key.
Spend time searching the company, how it started, its morals, its clients, its projects, how it works, everything.
你需要展示你對這個公司的了解程度，所以對於這個問題，搜索是關鍵。
花時間搜索一下這個公司，它的開創歷史，企業文化，客戶，項目，運作方式，各種內容。
For example, if you're applying at an educational charity, you could say, I've always been passionate about education and I've seen first-hand the work that you do.
I have always wanted to be a part of it.
比如，如果你要申請一個教育慈善機構的職位，你可以說，我一直都熱衷於教育，並且我親眼看到了你們的工作。
我一直都想成為其中的一份子。
I was especially impressed when I found out that your teams are so small.
I originally thought that you would have so many employees due to the sheer amount of work you do.
當我發現你們的團隊規模如此小的時候更讓我印象深刻。
我原本以為你們會有很多僱員，因為你們的工作量並不大。
I love working as part of a small team and seeing my work make a real impact is so rewarding.
You should also align your skills and experience with the role.
我喜歡在小團隊裡工作，並且看到我的工作能夠有如此有價值的回報。
你還應該把你的技能和經歷跟這個職位結合起來。
You should take key parts of the job description and the job requirements and add them to your personal profile.
For example, the part that really got me excited was the opportunity to present on a regular basis.
你應該截取職位描述和職位要求中的關鍵部分，並把它們加入到你的個人履歷中去。
比如，真的很讓我興奮的部分是能夠定期展示的機會。
I had to present in front of an audience at my previous role and this position would give me a chance to present about something I am incredibly passionate about.
Question number four is what are your strengths?
我目前的工作要求我在一個觀眾面前展示，而這個職位能夠讓我有機會展示我非常熱愛的東西。
第四個問題是，你的優勢是什麼？
With this question it's easy to say a load of positive adjectives and we'll talk about those later.
But interviewers will have heard them all before.
回答這個問題的時候很容易就會說很多正面的形容詞，我們稍後再談。
但是面試官以前肯定已經都聽過了。
The big part of this question is justification.
You need to justify each strength you give and apply it to the job role.
這個問題的關鍵部分是證明。
你需要證明你說的每一個優勢，並且將其應用到工作職責中。
For example, I'm very logical, and in my previous position I managed to rethink an entire delivery process, reducing each delivery time by four minutes.
I communicated it to my boss and, after a successful implementation, they still use my process today.
比如，我很有邏輯性，並且在我上一份工作中，我重新思考了整個運送流程，並且成功把每一次運送的時間縮短了四分鐘。
我把這個跟我的老闆交流了，一次成功地實施之後，他們如今仍沿用我的流程。
Question number five is how would your boss describe you?
First of all, the most important thing is be honest.
第五個問題是，你的老闆如何描述你？
首先，最重要的一點是誠實。
If they really consider you for the job, the hiring manager will be calling your former bosses and co-workers.
The easiest way to answer this question is to paraphrase a recent positive performance review.
如果他們真的考慮錄用你，人事經理會給你的前老闆和同事打電話。
回答這個問題最簡單的方法就是解說一份最近的積極的業績回顧。
You should specifically reference where you're getting this information from. This makes it easier to describe yourself as trustworthy, dedicated and creative without feeling like you're boasting.
你應該特別說明你是從哪裡獲得的信息。這樣你如果說自己值得信任、投入和有創意的話，就不會覺得自己在吹牛了。
You'll also want to give some big picture context about your role and responsibilities to fill in the gaps around your answer.
Another way to do this is to start off with a positive story about something that you've done and conclude it with how your boss or co-workers would describe you.
你還要對於你的職責和責任給出一些大局描述來填補跟你回答相關的差距。
另一種方式是以一個積極的故事開頭，講述你做過什麼，然後以你的上司和同事如何評價你結尾。
Since this question is pretty open-ended. It's a really good opportunity for you to share something that you really want to mention in the interview but you haven't had a chance to yet.
If you simply can't think of anything, here is another approach you could try.
因為這個問題是很具開放性的，所以這對你來說是個很好的機會去分享一些你真的很想在面試中提及但是你還沒有機會提及的事情。
如果你就是想不出任何東西，還有一個你可以嘗試的辦法。
Think about three positive traits that you bring to your workplace.
Then have a short example after each.
想三個你給你的工作地點帶來的三個積極的傳統。
然後每一個舉一個簡短的例子。
For example, I'm a good negotiator. I managed to negotiate a better price on our stationary last year.
比如，我是一個很好的協商者。我去年成功地為我們的文具協商了一個更好的價格。
Question number six, what is your dream job?
Career advisors think of good jobs as an intersection of your skills, interests and values.
第六個問題，你的理想工作是什麼？
求職顧問認為好的工作是你技能、興趣和價值觀的交叉點。
That's a really good way for you to approach this question.
Talking about your skills will give you an opportunity to sell yourself, which we'll talk about later.
這是你處理這個問題的很好的方式。
談論一下能夠給機會推銷你自己的技能，我們稍後會談這個問題。
Your interests will show your passions and your investment, and your values can help illustrate your fit within the company.
An example would be: I've mentioned my experience with programming, so my dream job would definitely have to relate to that.
你的興趣會展現你的熱情和投入，而你的價值觀有助於闡釋你適合這個公司。
一個例子：我前面提到了我編程方面的經驗，所以我的理想工作肯定是與之相關的。
In terms of the industry, well, I'm really interested in sports, so something related to that would be good.
In my career I really value having a good relationship with my co-workers.
至於行業，嗯，我對體育很感興趣，所以跟它相關的也很好。
在我的職業生涯中，我非常看重跟同事有良好的關係。
That's the reason why I'm so excited to be interviewing for this position. The vibe in the office is amazing.
這也是我對面試這個職位很激動的原因。辦公室的氛圍很棒。
Question number seven is where do you see yourself in five years time?
This can feel like a bit of a trick question because sometimes what you want to say is not here or in your job, or something like at a bigger, better opportunity.
第七個問題是你認為五年後你會在哪裡？
這個可能感覺上是一個陷阱題，因為有時候你想說的話跟你當前的環境或你的工作無關，或者會說類似於更大更好的機會的話。
Realistically, those aren't going to be good answers.
Think about where this position could take you and consider how that aligns with some of your broader professional goals.
說真的，這些並不是好答案。
思考一下這個職位會帶你到哪裡，然後考慮一下它會如何與你更廣大的職業追求相一致。
For example, you could say, I'd like to be seen as someone with expertise in the energy sector, which is something that I know I'll have an opportunity to do here.
I'm also really excited to take on more managerial responsibilities in the next few years, and potentially even take the lead on some projects.
比如你可以說：「我想被當做一個能源領域的專家，這是我知道我有機會在這裡達成的事情。
」我很樂意在未來的幾年中承擔更多管理方面的職責，甚至是成為一些項目的領導。
Right, those were seven of the slightly easier interview questions and how to answer them.
In the next lesson, we'll be discussing the more complex ones.
好的，這些就是七個稍微簡單一點的面試問題以及如何回答它們的內容。
下節課中我們會討論更複雜的問題。
Don't forget to share your model answers in the comments down below and give people feedback if they want it.
That's it for this lesson.
別忘記在下面的評論區分享你的示範回答，如果人們想要反饋的話就給出反饋。
今天的課就到這裡。
I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you learned something.
Don't forget to connect with me on all of my social media.
我希望你們喜歡並學有所得。別忘記在我所有的社交媒體上聯繫我。
I've got my Facebook, my Instagram, and my Twitter, and I shall see you soon for another lesson.
我有臉書、INS、推特，我們下節課再見。
