外企会计英语面试

财务英语面试技巧

从江西回来后，我就决定好了去辞职，重新开始新的求职面试生涯。之前有一部分工作，挑拣之后确定了一家。可是等我真正去工作时，才发现原来的自己想得还是有好多地方不到位。财务这个工作呢，越大的企业分工越细，可能一个财务部就有十几二十几甚至更多岗位。从大公司开始做，起点是高一点，但是一段时间下来接触的东西都是一块一块的，这个部分我能运用的特别熟练，其他就一概不接触，这不是我想要的。所以决定再重新开始，还是找个稍微正规点的中小型公司吧，这些时间也是种精神上的折磨，思前量后，反复琢磨。不过有和许多财务部的同事聊天，也挺长见识的，想法转变了不少。

从此，我步上了踏踏实实在家找工作的日子。网投、招聘会，那样都没落下。有人说招聘会的反馈率比网投大，我也同意这点，可能因人而异。海淀区的个人免费招聘会我几乎都去过，国展、农展也去过。最后的总结是，国展还可以，其他的就不说了。我觉得这也是一种体验，补回了我大学毕业时的份，有许多招聘会我还没去呢，以后有机会吧。找工作、面试，真的是崩溃再崩溃，一问工作经验，二问专业，都不对口就肯定没戏。所以，第一份工作真的非常重要，不在乎公司规模、薪金福利，一定要选对专业和行业，要不然以后转行还是太难了，至少财务是这样的！

这期间，去面试过500强的外企，过程大致如下：第一步，发邮件、回复邮件；第二步，电话面试，例如问你是否离职、为什么离职、为什么想申请这份工作、原来的薪金福利是多少、期望薪金多少、面试自我介绍、在大学学到了什么、老师对你的评价等等（英文）；第三步，得到HR的面试机会，先填一份详细的个人资料和问卷（英文），和HR详谈工作经验，其间提问无数，最difficult case是什么、详细描述。半个多小时，基本都是我在说，黔驴技穷了。接着就是你5年的职业规划是什么等等（英文）。第四步，部门经理面试。可惜我只到了第三步，外企确实不是那么好进的，我本来也没太想进去，就当增加增加面试经历吧。我知道这种公司一般就是招两种人：重点大学的毕业生和经验极其丰富的人（学历就不考虑了）。而且没准面试就是一个形式，人选都是内定的。会计师事务所，也是就招两种人，英语好（尤其是口语）经验不要求和在各行各业都有丰富财务经验的人。经过这些，感叹英语真的是非常重要，虽然只是一个工具，却是重点加分的硬件！

一个月的时间，我的想法做了好多回的过山车，比原来上的.三年班还想得多得多，有的时候只有人经历到了一个点，把自己放到一个面，才会有更大的体悟。感谢在这些日子帮助过我的人，听我倾诉，给我建议和鼓励。WE、师傅、WSS、晨晨，还有姐妹们~~

当然还有我伟大的父母，不厌其烦的忍受我、开导我。爸爸说：“机会总是会有的，你想要的适合自己的一定会出现，所以千万不要强迫自己去忍受！”妈妈说：“工作都是差不多的，时间长了都会烦，要调整好心态，想好了就不后悔，只要不讨厌就行了。”这两句话，支持我到现在。我的心态真的有了好大的转变，女生，事业心太强，也就是二十多岁的事，以后的日子还很长，什么阶段就做什么事情，心态放平和，不要为事业太奔命，一切顺其自然吧，人就是这样，欲望越强烈，活得越辛苦，健康最重要。

到此为止，我算是大概稳定了，走上了自己所选的道路。是不是我想要的生活就不知道了，至少我选择过了。每个人的人生都会经历那么几个阶段，过程和选择很重要。希望这些面试经验能帮助到一些人，栗子，你一定会遇到最适合自己的！

下面是我整理的外企 面试 英语问题，以供大家学习参考。

1. So, tell me a little about yourself.

You don’t need to explain everything from birth to present day. Relevant facts about education, your career and your current life situation are fine.

2. Why are you looking (or why did you leave you last job)?

This should be a straightforward question to answer, but it can trip you up. Presumably you are looking for a new job (or any job) because you want to advance your career and get a position that allows you to grow as a person and an employee. It’s not a good idea to mention money here, it can make you sound mercenary. And if you are in the unfortunate situation of having been downsized, stay positive and be a***rief as pos***le about it. If you were fired, you’ll need a good explanation. But once again, stay positive.

3. Tell me what you know about this company.

Do your homework before you go to any interview. Whether it’***eing the VP of marketing or the mailroom clerk, you should know about the company or business you’re going to work for. Has this company been in the news lately? Who are the people in the company you should know about? Do the background work, it will make you stand out as someone who comes prepared, and is genuinely interested in the company and the job.

4. Why do you want to work at X Company?

This should be directly related to the last question. Any research you’ve done on the company should have led you to the conclusion that you’d want to work there. After all, you’re at the interview, right? Put some thought into this answer before you have your interview, mention your career goals and highlight forward-thinking goals and career plans.

5. What relevant experience do you have?

Hopefully if you’re applying for this position you have bags of related experience, and if that’s the case you should mention it all. But if you’re switching careers or trying something a little different, your experience may initially not look like it’s matching up. That’s when you need a little honest creativity to match the experiences required with the ones you have. People skills are people skills after all, you just need to show how customer service skills can apply to internal management positions, and so on.

6. If your previous co-workers were here, what would they say about you?

Ok, this is not the time for full disclosure. If some people from your past are going to say you’re a boring A-hole, you don’t need to bring that up. Stay positive, always, and maybe have a few specific quotes in mind. “They’d say I was a hard worker” or even better “John Doe has always said I was the most reliable, creative problem-solver he’d ever met.”

7. Have you done anything to further your experience?

This could include anything from night classes to hobbies and sports. If it’s related, it’s worth mentioning. Obviously anything to do with further education is great, but maybe you’re spending time on a home improvement project to work on skills such as self-sufficiency, time management and motivation.

8. Where else have you applied?

This is a good way to hint that you’re in demand, without sounding like you’re whoring yourself all over town. So, be honest and mention a few other companie***ut don’t go into detail. The fact that you’re seriously looking and keeping your options open is what the interviewer is driving at.

9. How are you when you’re working under pressure?

Once again, there are a few ways to answer thi***ut they should all be positive. You may work well under pressure, you may thrive under pressure, and you may actually PREFER working under pressure. If you say you crumble like aged blue cheese, this is not going to help you get your foot in the door.

10. What motivates you to do a good job?

The answer to this one is not money, even if it is. You should be motivated by life’s noble pursuits. You want recognition for a job well done. You want to become better at your job. You want to help others or be a leader in your field.

11. Let’s talk about salary. What are you looking for?

Run for cover! This is one tricky game to play in an interview. Even if you know the salary range for the job, if you answer first you’re already showing all your cards. You want as much as pos***le, the employer wants you for as little as you’re willing to take. Before you apply, take a look at salary.com for a good idea of what someone with your specific experience should be paid. You may want to say, “well, that’s something I’ve thought long and hard about and I think someone with my experience should get between X & Y.” Or, you could be sly and say, “right now, I’m more interested in talking more about what the position can offer my career.” That could at least buy you a little time to scope out the situation. But if you do have a specific figure in mind and you are confident that you can get it, I’d say go for it. I have on many occasions, and every time I got very close to that figure (both below and sometimes above).

12. What’s your greatest strength?

This is your chance to shine. You’re being asked to explain why you are a great employee, so don’t hold back and stay do stay positive. You could be someone who thrives under pressure, a great motivator, an amazing problem solver or someone with extraordinary attention to detail. If your greatest strength, however, is to drink anyone under the table or get a top score on Mario Kart, keep it to yourself. The interviewer is looking for work-related strengths.
