Please tell me your work experience.

"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。

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.

Why are you interested in working for our company?

Employers want to know why you want to work for them. So show them you understand what the company does and that you're enthusiastic about the work. Don't start with "Umm," "I don't know," "It seemed like a good career move," or "I haven't been able to find anything else interesting." Keep in mind that the interviewer wants to know what you can bring to their company, not what the company can bring to you!

老板会想要知道为什么你想要替他们工作。所以展现出你了解公司多少来表现你对这个工作的热忱。一开始不要"Umm," "I don't know," "It seemed like a good career move," 或是 "I haven't been able to find anything else interesting."请记住一件事就是替你面试的人希望的是一位能替公司带来什么的人，而不是公司能给你什么！

Why did you leave your last job?

Maybe your last job was terrible, but an interview is not the place to talk about it. Even if it's true, never make negative or opinionated comments about your current or past employers or co-workers: "I didn't agree with the company's direction," "I got no recognition¹ for my work," "My boss was totally unreasonable²." Statements like these make you sound unreasonable!

What kind of salary did you have in mind?

Do you have any questions for me?

Interviewers usually finish an interview with this question. Ask specific questions that show you already know a lot about the company, but want to know more. Do not ask questions that you should already know the answers to, like, "What does your company do?" Or, "Could you tell me your name again?" Also, don't ask salary or vacation-related questions: "When do you give raises?" "How much vacation time can I expect?" Save those questions for after you hear, "We'd like to offer you the job."

面试最后的问题就是。问一些你已经知道关于公司的一些明确问题，但是想要更进一步知道更多。不要问一些你应该已经知道的问题，像是，"What does your company do?" 或是 "Could you tell me your name again?" 还有，不要问薪水或是年假相关的问题： "When do you give raises?" "How much vacation time can I expect?" 把这些问题留到最后你听到对方说明， "We'd like to offer you the job."
