英文能力對企業重要性

1. 英語能力是基本技能
根據TOEIC官方 2021年研究報告，32.1%的公司有使用英語之場合，14%人資部門以英語能力選用人才，另有8.3%公司表示英語是通用語言

2. 招募員工時，英語門檻有助提升企業競爭力

63.3%的企業認為”員工具備語言能力，在專業技術的學習與交流較有競爭力”，49.6%認為”英文達到一定程度，對員工工作表現有幫助”，40.4%表示”員工具備語言能力，未來較有升遷發展機會”

因此，為了公司內部溝通暢通﹑提升競爭力，不少企業招募時會有英文面試，但其實，英文面試準備起來並不困難。

面試問題1. 請先自我介紹

Hi, my name is KC. I graduated from __(學校)__ University in __(年份)__, majoring in __(科系)__ department.　After graduation, I worked in a __(前前公司)__ company, primarily involved in __(工作內容)__ .　Later, I joined __(前公司)__ and worked there until __(離職日)__ . During my time at __(前公司)__ , I was responsible for __(主要工作內容)__ , and also involved in __(次要工作內容)__ . This role required me to __(工作所學)__ .

重點1：若已畢業多年，學歷可以簡單帶過，著重在工作經驗

重點2：列出與應徵職位有關的工作經驗 (有一點點關連也可以)，會讓面試官覺得不是亂投履歷

重點3：重點描述相關公司&前公司的工作內容﹑職位﹑所學等，挑和應徵職位有關的講，提升職位匹配度分數

面試問題2. 離開上一份工作的原因？

這題絕對是大陷阱，錯誤回答＆正確回答如下：

錯誤回答
The main reason why I left my previous company was the poor promotion mechanism. Getting promoted or not was decided by one person, that was my supervisor. Typically, promotion occurs every 3 years. During my third year, my supervisor asked me to wait another 2 years because she considered the turndown of the oaverall economy and possible decreasing orders in the near future. It was different from my career expectation, so I chose to resign.

大錯特錯，雖然句句屬實，但卻是面試官不愛聽的大白話，面試官會解讀成：

(1) 對前公司升遷制度不滿：
儘管上市公司，升遷制度也很難完全透明，黑箱作業﹑和說好的不同，是非常常見的，更別說小公司﹑家族企業了！也就是說，面試官會覺得你對前公司不滿的點，到我們公司也會不滿，絕對是個頭痛人物！

(2) 對薪資不滿：
唯利是圖！雖說打工人工作本就為了金錢，無可厚非，但面試官絕對會換個位子﹑換個腦袋，畢竟是為了公司媒合”最合適”的人選，和外商不同的是，華人文化對薪資較無爭取的權利，除非你有非常硬核的技術在手，否則若對前公司薪資不滿足，不久後可能也會利聚而來﹑利盡而散

(3) 對前公司不忠誠﹑衝動離職：
身為面試官，一定不希望應聘到一個忠誠度低﹑會衝動離職的人，這會增加培養員工成本﹑流動性變高，如此回答會給面試官留下壞印象，更可能針對這點，質疑你如何對這個職位忠誠﹑盡心盡力？

正確回答
The primary reason for my departure from the previous company was the pursuit of opportunities for professional growth. The organizational structure in my former workplace involved highly specialized roles with limited interaction between departments. Even though I was deeply grateful for the training provided by my previous company, over the past few years, I have acquired a solid foundation in my work. Seeking to elevate my professional expertise, I aspired to take on more challenging responsibilities. Recognizing the need to step out of my comfort zone, I decided to participate in this interview.

重點1：強調為了自我成長﹑能力提升﹑接受新挑戰等正面因素才離職，並同時對前公司的栽培懷抱感恩的心

重點2：最後一句”I decided to participate in this interview.”同時表達對應徵公司的正向期待，給面試官留下”應聘者有認真看待這次面試”的印象

面試問題3. 為什麼想來我們公司工作？

There are two main reasons why I’d like to work here：First, __(應徵公司名)__ is a well-known enterprise in Taiwan, excelling in __(明星產品舉例)__. Serving international brands such as __(主要客人舉例)__…and so on. The company also extends to __(海外市場)__, like __(海外國家舉例)__. This diversified business model helps the company to grow steadily and less fluctuations during the economy cycles.

The second reason is, I have to say, because of the salary and benefits. Aside from the higher salary compared with other companies, __(應徵公司名)__ also has a variety of clubs and activities after work, which create a healthy & dynamic working environment.

重點：面試前需先瀏覽官網，了解應徵公司的主要商品﹑市場﹑版圖﹑未來計畫等，也可從官網小細節了解公司：
舉例1：官網排版較陳舊古板→ 可能是老字號傳產﹑或較保守公司，追求新創新者就不太適合

舉例2：官網以英文介面為主﹑中文為輔→ 代表公司著重海外市場，以後工作會很吃英文能力，英文強者大大加分

舉例3：官網特別強調員工福利→ 福利像團康活動﹑旅遊﹑禮券﹑社團等，表示公司較願意花費心力在維護員工身心健康，較不會對小錢摳摳搜搜 (這很重要)

面試問題4. 請問你的優點和缺點是什麼？

優點
I regard my strength is that I am able to perform well under pressure. I remember it happened in the first 3 months after joining __(前公司)__. At that time, I knew nothing about the __(產業)__ industry, and my seniors were too busy to guide. I was scolded and complained by factories and customers almost every day. When facing this situation, most colleagues would hide in the restroom and cried. But I knew crying might be a good way to relieve stress, while it helped little to the problems. To solve issues, I had to be stronger and pull myself together. I learned to “ask the right people questions,” such as seeking advice from experienced colleagues. That is, never keep problems bottled up in mind, just ask.

重點1：以KC面試無數的經驗，比起”我很樂觀﹑積極﹑善於溝通”等優點，抗壓性幾乎是所有公司需要的

重點2：一定要實際案例證實你的優點，上述舉例不但展現了抗壓性，更側面展現其他優點，如果斷解決問題﹑自我成長的能力，而非嗷嗷待哺﹑等待被解救的無助小白！

缺點
My weakness is that I tend to worry easily if things are not well-organized. It makes me feel anxious if the work is not yet done as scheduled. I’d like to have my work done perfectly, or at least close to perfect. Therefore, I find it important to do some exercise after work to relieve stress. Luckily, __(應徵公司)__has a variety of clubs and activities after work.

重點1：缺點=把優點反著說，上述舉例看似說容易擔心，但仔細聽會發現，是在說”沒有好好規劃好會擔心”，哪間公司不喜歡做事有條例﹑喜歡規劃的人呢?

重點2：為缺點找到解方，容易擔心? 可以用下班後的運動舒緩，並再次誇獎應徵公司對員工的福利制度，畢竟好話人人愛聽

面試問題5. 工作中遇過最挫折的經驗是什麼？

As I mentioned before, my biggest setback was the first three months after I joined __(前公司)__. After persevering through those three months of challenges, there was nothing that could truly make me frustrated.

重點：呼應先前提到的挫折經驗，強調度過”萌新”階段後，就沒什麼事難的倒我；同時也給面試官信心，相信3個月過渡期後就會是成熟好用的員工！

面試問題6. 履歷上的空窗期在做什麼？

若空窗期有進修：

After leaving my previous company, I seized the opportunity to further my __(相關技能)__ skills, as I realized my passion for this industry and a desire for continuous professional improvement. After a __(期間)__ of dedicated learning, I have acquired __(相關技能)__ skills and believe I can effectively apply them in this position.

重點：若有學習到新技能，可特別強調這技能對未來工作的幫助；若技能沒太大關聯，可說是為了自我探索(self exploration)，別被面試官問傻了！

儘管空窗期什麼事都沒做，也要盡力回答，千萬別說I did nothing.

After I resigned, I traveled to __(某地)__ for a __(期間)__. While visiting, I couldn’t help but study __(和應聘公司相關的事)__. At that time, I noticed that this was my passion for __(應聘產業)__, so I applied for this job.

重點：趁空擋去旅遊是人之常情，並不會給面試官留下混日子的印象，就算旅行途中一秒鐘都沒想到工作，還是可以照上面的說法，不會太矯情﹑又透露出一點面試官喜歡的奴性！

面試問題7. 可以接受加班嗎？

I am willing to work overtime work if necessary. However, I will also improve work efficiency and try hard to complete the work within working hours.

重點：通常問這種問題，就是在透漏該公司有加班文化，很大機率需要加班，以上為同意加班擬答，若無法接受加班，也可委婉拒絕

面試問題8. 未來3年何規劃？

My short-term goal is to fully master daily work within 1 year. And improve any deficiencies as needed. As for my long-term goal, if there’s a chance, I’d like to take on a managerial role. I’m looking forward to collaborating with outstanding leaders to contribute myself to company.

重點1：建議分為1年短期及3年長期規劃，彰顯有長久待在這家公司的決心

重點2：未來規劃不要太浮誇！譬如一年內我要當上Top Sales﹑我要成為業界第一名…這些事夢想而不是規劃，規劃要具體且實際，不然會給人能力不足卻自大的壞印象，成為所謂的普信男/女，普通但過分自信！

面試問題9. 期望待遇？

Although the salary in previous job was __(前公司月薪)__ per month, there was a fixed bonus, which added up to be __(前公司平均月薪)__ per month.

It’s a bargain to hire me. Because I’m experienced, I have worked in this industry for nearly __(年資)__ years. I can spend the most convenient time to take over current work. You can save lots of time and energy on training, which is an obvious advantage for company.

重點1：若上份工作月薪不高，但有領到高獎金，絕對要說出來，因為有些公司會用前公司的月薪(不含獎金)來談薪水

重點2：提出期待薪資後，要補充為何你值得公司付這樣的薪水，譬如有經驗﹑能快速上手﹑有專業證照﹑有其他加分能力…等，讓面試官知道你的價值，更有談到高薪資的機會

面試問題10. 有其他問題想問?

基本上自由發揮，以下兩個問題是KC一定會問的：

1. I’m curious whether the job involves more independent work or collaboration?

重點：問獨立作業或合作，從答案中窺探以下訊息，並藉此判斷適不適合自己

	可能優點	可能缺點
獨立作業多	分工明確﹑權責清楚﹑互不打擾﹑做好分內事即可	流水線生產流程﹑容易枯燥﹑同事互動少﹑氣氛沉重
共同合作多	工作難度高有挑戰性﹑同事互動多﹑氣氛活潑	分工不明﹑權責不清﹑指揮線混亂﹑老闆一句話大家一起發瘋﹑跨部門吵架﹑事沒做完一起加班

2. What is the average age and tenure of the employees in this team?

重點：問平均年齡&年資，可以旁敲側擊出以下訊息，哪些是你在意的?

	可能優點	可能缺點
較年輕/年資低	工作內容活潑﹑貼合時事﹑無打壓菜鳥文化﹑進入門檻低﹑新手友善環境﹑產業具發展性	免洗筷工作﹑取代性高﹑高耗體力﹑無法靠年資經驗提升薪資﹑流動性高﹑交接不完整
較年長/年資高	長期飯碗﹑低取代性﹑靠腦較不靠體力﹑可藉年資經驗提升薪資﹑流動性較低﹑交接較完整	工作內容乏味﹑與外界斷連﹑老鳥打壓菜鳥﹑進入門檻高﹑壓榨新人﹑官僚文化﹑層級複雜疊床架屋﹑產業未來發展放緩
