本文推薦"面試英語常見問題:如何規(guī)劃自己的職業(yè)生涯",僅供參考。
"您想做到什么職位?",這是一個富有挑戰(zhàn)性的問題。要知道,每一個公司都希望自己的員工能夠"芝麻開花,節(jié)節(jié)高",能夠挑起更沉的擔子。對這個問題的回答,能夠反映出您是否富有進取心,是否具備為時代所需要的創(chuàng)新精神,是否能為公司作出更大的貢獻。 這一課中,我們就來探討對這個問題的回答。
Where would you like to be in 5 years?
"Where would you like to be in 5 years?"
"Where do you see yourself five years from now?"
"五年內(nèi)您想做到什么職位?"
對于面試者來說,這是個很棘手的問題,但它卻很受主考官的青睞。因為,主考官想通過您對這個問題的回答,來了解您對未來發(fā)展的計劃,更重要的是,判斷您的計劃是否切實可行,是否跟該公司未來的發(fā)展計劃相一致。
對這個問題,您可以先給出您的目標:
"I would like to follow the management career path"
"我想沿著管理這條路走下去。"
"I would like to try the secretary career track"
"我想嘗試秘書工作。"
您還可以給自己提出更高的要求,當然,這種要求一定得是您通過努力能夠達到的,這一點,您一定要"心中有數(shù)":
"I'd like to be a senior manager of your company in five years."
"我想在五年內(nèi)成為貴公司的高級經(jīng)理。"
或者:
"Although it's certainly difficult to predict things far into the future, I know what direction I want to develop toward. Within five years, I would like to become one of the best engineers in your company."
"預測未來當然是不容易的,但我清楚自己的發(fā)展方向。我想在五年內(nèi)成為貴公司最好的工程師之一。"
您還可以說:
"I would like to become the expert that others rely upon. And in doing so, I feel I will be fully prepared to take on any greater responsibilities that might be presented in the long term."
"我想成為別人可以依賴的專家。為此,我要作好充分的準備,以便在未來可以擔負起更大的責任。"
除了個人的發(fā)展外,如果您能向主考官表明您會給公司帶來進步的話,更能打動主考官:
"In five years I want to be a valuable part of this company and help it to reach its goal. I also want to manage a challenging project and bring in latest technology that will benefit the company."
"未來的五年里,我想成為貴公司里有價值的一員,并希望幫助公司實現(xiàn)目標。我還想經(jīng)營一個富有挑戰(zhàn)性的項目,引進最新的技術,給公司帶來效益。"
如果您的經(jīng)驗還不夠充分,可以在"好學"這方面展示自己,比如您可以向主考官表示在他們公司里,您能學到很多東西,而且,您很愿意在該公司發(fā)展自身:
"In the next five years, I want to learn new things, gain more experience and increase my value to your company. I want to learn my job well and eventually to achieve a position of higher responsibility within your company."
"未來的五年里,我想學到新東西、獲得更多的經(jīng)驗,增加我對在貴公司的價值。我想將業(yè)務做得很精通,最終能夠在貴公司挑起更重的擔子。"
您還要給主考官一個感覺:您樂意在該公司長期干下去:
"In the next five years, I will not plan on moving or going back to school, I want to stay with this company for many years, and expect I would be very happy with this job."
"在未來的五年里,我不打算換工作或回到學校學習,我想在貴公司工作較長的時間,也希望工作得很愉快。"
這樣,主考官放心了,因為每個公司都不想讓自己辛苦培養(yǎng)出來的熟練員工很快就離開公司,這樣可是要浪費公司大量的培訓費用的。
