"work
experience" is the type of work you've done in the past. If you haven't
started working yet you can say "Right now I'm still a student." or
"I'm a recent grad and I haven't started working yet." In the second
sentence, "recent grad" is short for "recent graduate" and
means that you have just finished school.
请告诉我你过去的工作经验。工作经验就是你过去所做的工作。如果尚未开始工作，就可以回答"Right now I'm still a student."(现在我还是个学生。)或者说"I'm a recent grad and I haven't
started working yet."(我刚刚毕业，还没有开始工作。)"recent
grad"是"recent graduate"的缩写，意思是刚刚毕业。
Second One: What's your greatest weakness?
This is a popular question that western employers like to ask to
make candidates nervous! In fact, they ask this to know how you respond to a
difficult question. You shouldn't answer by telling your greatest weakness
since you might not get the job! Instead, you can tell them something that
isn't directly related to the job position.
Third One: Why do you feel you are qualified for this job?
This question is a good opportunity to brag a little bit. You should
talk about some extra skills you have that maybe wasn't included in your
resume, or talk about your greatest strength in more detail.
Fourth One: What kind of salary did you have in mind?
Salary is how much money you earn, usually per year. When asked
this, it's best to answer with a salary range or approximation and not an exact
figure. This shows that you are familiar with the industry if you know what the
approximate salary should be.
When answering this it's best not to say you can start right away.
This might make you seem very desperate for a job. A safe answer would be
"I can start at the beginning of next month."
如果雇佣的话，你什么时候开始工作？回答这个问题时。一定要注意！不要说我马上可以工作。那会让对方认为你非常迫切地需要这份工作。一个非常保险的回答可以是"I can start at the beginning of next month."(我下月初可以开始上班。)
Sixth One: What kind of work does the posi-tion involve?
You can ask this to clarify exactly what kind of work you'll be
doing.

求职英语会话
A： Hello！
B： Hello！ Glad to
meet you.
A： Tell me something about yourself, please.
B： My name is Wan Mei and I live in
Guangzhou. I was born in 1978. I am a student of Jinan University. I have
majored in Public Administration. I like travelling very much and enjoy sports.
I am in the tennis club at my university.
A： Your application form says you were out
of school for half a year during high school. What was the reason？ Were you ill？
B： Oh, no. My father's job took him to
America for six months then, and he decided to take the whole family along.
A： So during that time you went to high
school in the United States？
B： Yes, it was just for a few months, but
attended Johnson High School in Chicago.
A： There was a year between the time you
graduated from high school and entered the university. What were you doing
during that time？
B： I spent a year doing things a person
doesn't have time for. I traveled several countries.
A： Do you think you are more outward-looking
or more inward-looking？
B： Well, something I want to be by myself,
but most of the time I prefer being with a group of people, so I guess you'd
may I am rather outgoing. I was really very active in my university club.
A： What would you say are some of your
strong and weak points？
B： Well, I suppose a strong point of mine is
that I like developing new things and ideas. But I am afraid I am a poor talker
and that isn't very good, so I've been studying how to speak in public.
A： Do you have any people you'd call really
close friends？
B： Not too many, but not too few, either, I
suppose. There are six people that I see quite often now. They're all my good
friends.
A： What kind of sports do you like？ And do you watch or play？
B： I like both watching and playing. And I
enjoy almost all sports, but I especially like tennis. I was in the tennis club
all through high school, so particularly in the case of tennis I prefer doing
to watching.
A： What kind of books do you like？
B： I like biographics. It's intersting to
read about the backgrounds of people who have become famous, and see what I can
learn from their lives.
A： Who is your favorite writer？
B： I like the novels of Charles Dickens very
much. I've read almost all of them in the original.
A： Can you name one person that you respect
very much？
B： My English teacher at college. He has so
much humour and vitality, and I am very impressed with his tactfulness. He can
make a person see the contradictions in his thinking without making him feel
foolish. I've learned a lot from watching the way he applies himself to his
teaching, and how he leads people to seeing things.
A： What basic principles do you apply to
your life？
B： Not to put off till tomorrow what you can
do today. I feel that time gives away very easily —— you think you have it, and
it is gone quickly！ Putting things off just makes it
worse later. So even if it is hard at the time, I try to get things done that
day and not leave them till the next day.
A： Tell me why you are interested in working
for this company, will you？
B： I think working in this company would
give me the best oppotunity to use what I've learned at college, studying
public administration for four years. I think this company has a great future
and I'll be able to develop my own capabilities here. So for a long time I've
been thinking I'd like to work with this company.
A： Have you ever worked during your
university days？
B： Yes. I worked as a tutor to teach English
to a middle school student.
A： There's a good chance for you to come to
work for this company. But, you will have to have another interview with our
manager himself in Chinese.
B： Of course.
A： Thank you for coming. Good-bye！
B： Good-bye！
