每個企業和單位都比較看中應聘者的學歷，高學歷在一定程度上也代表著高能力和高素質。即使你的學歷很高，在表達上也應該注意一些技巧。
曾經有個面試官這樣問一位面試者："What does the 『J.D.,C.P.C' after your name mean?:"其實『J.D.,C.P.C'是Juris Doctor and Certified Placement Counselor."(法學博士，法律顧問資格證)但是這位聰明的面試者是這樣回答的："The 『J.D.' stands for 『Just do it!', and the 『C.P.C.' stands for 『Courage, Persistence, and Confidence.'"因此學歷不是很高的求職者也不是說就一定不行，最主要是看你如何介紹自己的教育背景，學位證書有時並不是很重要，如何把你優勢的一面告訴面試官才是最重要的。

Q: What made you choose _______as your major?

《白領英語900句》：這種回答適合於專業與你應聘的職位相符的情況下。對於這個問題很多人都會不假思索的隨便回答，千萬當心，這個問題的目的是考察你的Decision Quality這一項勝任力，所以不要簡單的說"感興趣"或者"就業前景樂觀"等。要有一些充足的理由來說明你的這個決定。
A2: When I was 18, nothing in the world seemed so important as (U.S. history/philosophy/English literature), and I studied for the sake of learning. Later, I realized I needed further education in subjects that would help me in my career.

I'm glad I started out in one area and switched to another. It has enhanced my ability to be cre¬ative and flexible because I have learned different ap¬proaches to performing the work successfully.
《白領英語900句》：如果你的專業與你所應聘的職位不符，往往接下來有的面試官就會問這個問題，而這時候如果你一味的說你做錯了選擇很有可能會留下不好影響，而如果你能從專業中發現一些與此工作的共同點，只要能自圓其說，就像上面的回答那樣，你就不會因為專業不對口而顯得尷尬不已。
Q: How do you think the education you've received will contribute to your work in this institution?
A1: I have already learned a lot in the classroom and I hope to be able to make practical use of it in business in your company.

A3: My specialization at the university is just in line with the areas your institute deals with .I am sure I can apply what I have learned to the work in your institute.
《白領英語900句》：這是一個比較籠統的回答，大家最好結合自己的專業知識，舉出一兩個可以將專業知識運用到你應聘的這個職位中，這樣更直接的告訴面試官你具有一定的業務能力。
Q: What specialized training have you received to improve your job skills?
A1: After beginning my career, 1 saw that my undergraduate degree wasn't enough. I needed knowledge of a higher and more specific level, so I went back to school to get a master) of business management which I will complete in 2007.

I estimate I learned about 10 times as much that specifically applies to this field during my graduate work..
《白領英語900句》：有很多現在的研究生包括讀MBA都是工作了一定時間後再根據自己的情況有針對性的進行充電，提升自我專業水平。這些你都可以告訴你的面試官。
A2: I took every opportunity that arose to attend classes, seminars, and workshops in this area. Even when my em¬ployer wasn't sponsoring the education, I used my own money and personal time to learn what I needed to know. It really paid off.
《白領英語900句》：如果你可以列舉出2-3個比較著名的研修班，輔導班等等尤其是那些在你這個專業相當著名的學校，說不定會為你的面試加分哦。
A3: I know education is important. When we stop learning, we stop growing and achieving. Since I began my career 5 years ago, 1 have been so thoroughly occupied with the demands of work that my ongoing ed¬ucation has been through on-the-job learning, company-sponsored training and similar activities. I read everything I can find that applies to my profession, sub¬scribe to its trade journals, and keep myself current on new developments.
《白領英語900句》：隱藏在這個問題背後的問題其實是面試官想了解你是否有不斷學習，不斷上進的自我提高的意識，這也是外企非常看重的一個方面。如果你沒有一些正規的繼續學習的經歷，你可以換個角度，從你本身的工作出發，包括公司的培訓，各種活動，你平時大量閱讀與工作相關的書籍等等只要可以表現出你積極要求上進的一面就可以了。千萬不要如實的告訴面試官你沒有這些經歷。
Q: How did you do in school?
A1: Dean's list throughout, with a_____________ grade point average.
《白領英語900句》：如果你的成績很棒，用分數說話是最過硬的。
A2: Above average mostly Bs(80 points) and some Cs(70 points). I worked and was involved in many extracurricular activities while maintaining a low B/high C average.
《白領英語900句》：如果成績不是特別好，可以寫明因為自己參加了大量的業餘活動，實踐活動來彌補成績這個弱勢，在外企，雖然也很注重在校的成績，尤其用來衡量應屆畢業生，但有時確更重視你的能力。因此千萬不要只說我在大學大多是B,有時是C之後就沒有任何補充說明了。
A3: My grades were average, but I spent a great deal of time achieving in other areas, such as
part-time employment and extracurricular activities like __________________(mention activities and affiliations related to the work for which you are applying). I al¬ways did my work thoroughly. As with most other people, if I could do it again, my grades probably would be much higher. I'd not only work harder, but I've learned a lot since then!
《白領英語900句》：這個回答比較討巧，索性不說具體的分數，用average來代替，緊接著說了豐富的工作經驗和社團活動轉移面試官的注意力，當然在說各類社團活動時，選用那些與本工作有關的，能顯示出這個工作所需的素質要求的活動和實踐工作。比如你應聘的是銷售，你又剛好曾在校是外聯部部長等等，那就可以詳細說明一些成功事例。說不定面試官會忽略你的成績哦。
Q: What are your educational goals for the future?
A1: My goal is to do everything possible to keep learn¬ing and improving. Things change so rapidly that we cannot rely on what we learned 10, 5, even 2 years ago. Some of my education will be informal reading, re¬search, and simply paying attention to what is going on. You can learn a lot just by l
