So,
tell
me
a
littl
e
about
yourself.
Tell
me
about
yourself/
How
would
you
describe
yourself?
I
’
m going to graduate
as a PHD of mechanical engineering and automation. I
’
m skilled at machining and machine
design and some related softwares, I have work
ed on two important projects as
a key participant; one is
“
research on
the 7-axis electrochemical machine and experiments of blisk in electrochemical machining
”
,
It is supported by the 863 national key project;
the other is
“
research on the precision electrochemical
micro- machining
”
. I learned a lot from this experience and appreciate it very much.
I
’
m a good problem-solver, I
’
m
willing to learn and cooperate with others anytime. Thank you.
2.
Tell
me
what you know
about this
company.
GE
is
the
world
’
s
largest
cross-industry
enterprise
of
technology,
manufacturing
and
service.
She
engaged
in
solving
the
most
difficult
problems
in
the
world.
As
early
as
1906,
GE
began
to
develop
trade
with
China
and
was
one
of
the
most
active and
influential
foreign
companies
at
that time.
GE
has
a
wide
range
of
products
and
service.
Plane
engine
is
one
of
them,
Nearly
1,200
GE
aircraft
engines
are
used
in
China's
550
planes.
More
than
300
steam,
gas
turbine,
wind
and
hydropower
turbines
are
working
in
China.
GE
has
customers
in
more
than
100
countries.
GE
is
very
famous
and
successful;
it
’
s
one

the
world
’
s
top
500.
Jeff

伊梅尔特
is
the
successor
of
GE
at
present.
There
is
a
saying
in
GE,
that
is
,
“
Let
the
right
person
do
the
ri
ght
work
is
more
important
than
developing
a
new
strategy
”
.
I
believe
I’
m
the
right
person;
I
hope
I
will
hav
e
the
chance
to
contribute
for
GE.
Thank
you.

3.
Why
do you
want
to
work
at
X
Company?
To
contribute
for
a
company
like
GE
is
always
my
dream.
And
my
major
is
closely
related
with
plane
engines
and
some
other
machining
products
in
GE.
I
want
to
grow
with
GE
and
contribute for
her
with
my
skills,
ex
perience
and
my
major
advantage.
I
like
GE
’
s
sayings
and
the
company
culture;
I
believe
my
dream
of
being
a
successful
technology
researcher
can
be
realized
here.
Just
like
GE,
doing
the
work
best
is
always
my
purs
uit.
GE
is
suitable
to
me,
and
I’
m
also
the
right
person
for
her.
Therefore,
I
choose
her.
4.
Have you
done
anything
to
further your
experi
ence?
Yes.
I
often
play
basketball
and
Ping-Pong
in
my
spare
time
to
relax
mysel
f
and
build
up
a
healthier
body.
B
ecause
people
can
do
their
work
better
if
they
are
strong
and
energetic
enough.
I
also
read
some
books
and
learn
some
softwares
that
are
helpful
to
my
current
work
in
my
spare
time
in
order
that
my
work
can
be
i
mproved
constantly.
5.
Where else
have
you
appli
ed?
A
research
institution
and
a
university
want
me
to
work
for
them.
(
不要具体说明
).
But
I
haven
’
t
accepted
yet
because
GE
is
more
suitable
for
me,
I
want
to
work
here.
6
.
How
are
you
when
you’re
working
under
pressure?
I
’
m
diligent
and
optimistic,
always
positi
v
e
towards
pressure.
My
strategy
to
deal
with
the
pressure
is
to
work
harder.
Sometimes
pressure
is
necessary
because
it
can
make
people
work
better.
7.
What
motivates you to
do a
good
job?
I
want
recognition
for
a
job
well
done
and
want
to
become
better
and
better
at
my
job
so
that
I
can
be
a
l
eader
in
my
field
in
the
future,
which
can
give
me
a
sense
of achievement.
I
like
that
feeling.
8
.
What’s your
greatest
strength
?
I
’
m
a
person
who
thrives
under
pressure,
a
great
motivator.
I
’
m
also
a
good
problem-solver.
The
world
’
s
best
problem-solving
company
like
GE
needs
good
problem- solvers.
9
.
What’s your
biggest
weaknes
s
?
If
you’re
completely
honest, you
may
be
kicking
yourself
in
the
butt.
If you
say
you
don’t
have
one,
you’re
o
bviously
lying.
This
is
a
horrible
question
and
one
that
politicians
have
become
masters
at
answering.
They
sa
y
things
like
“I’m
perhaps
too
committed
to
my
work
and
don’t
spend
enough
time
with
my
family.”
Oh, ther
e’s
a
fireable
offense.
I’ve
even
heard
“I
think
I’m
too
good
at
my
job,
it
can
often
make
people
jealous.”
Pl
ease,
let’s
keep
our feet
on
the
ground.
If
you’re
asked
this
question,
giv
e
a
small,
work-related
flaw
that
yo
u’re
working
hard
to
improve.
Example:
“I’ve
been
told
I
occasionally focus
on
details
and
miss
the
bigger
pic
ture,
so
I’ve
been
spending
time
laying
out
the
complete
project
every
day
to
see
my
overall
progress.”
13.
Let’s tal
k
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
want
s
you
for as
little
as
you’re
willing
to
take.
Before you
appl
y
,
take
a
look
at
for
a
good
idea
of
w
hat
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
c
ould
be
sly
and
say,
“right
now,
I’m
more
interested
in
talking
more
about
what
the
position
can
offer
my
ca
reer.”
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
ti
me
I
got
very
close
to
that figure
(both
below
and
sometimes
above).
14.
Are you
good
at
working
in
a
team?
Unless
you
have
the
I.Q.
of
a
houseplant,
you’ll
always
answer
YES
to
this
one.
It’s
the
only
answer.
How
ca
n
anyone function
inside
an
organization
if
they
are
a
loner?
You
may
want
to
mention
what
part
you
like
to
play
in
a
team
though;
it’s
a
great
chance
to
explain
that
you’re
a
natural
leader.
15.
Tell
me
a
suggesti
on
you
have
made
that
was
impl
emented.
It’s
important
here
to focus
on
the
word
“implemented.”
There’s
nothing
wrong
with
having
a
thousand
great
ideas,
but
if
the
only
place
they
live
is
on
your
n
otepad
what’s
the
point?
Better
still,
you
need
a
good endin
g.
If your
previous
company
took
your
advice
and
ended
up
going
bankrupt,
that’s
not
such
a
great
example
either.
Be
prepared
with
a
story
about
an
idea
of
yours
that
was
taken
from
idea
to
implementation,
and
con
sidered
successful.
16.
Has
anything
ever
irri
tated
you
about
people you’ve
worked
with?
Of
course,
you
have
a
list
as
long
as
your
arm.
But
you
can’
t
say
th
at,
it
shows
you
a***eing
negative and
difficult
to
work
with.
The
best
way
to
answer
this
one
is
to
think
for
a
while
and
then
say
something
like
“I’
ve
always
got
on
just
fine
with
my
co-
workers
actually.”
Use
this
question
as
a
chance
to
show
that
you
are
a
team
player:
“The
only
people
I
have
trouble
with
are
those
who
aren’t
team
players,
who
just
don’t
perform,
who
complain
constantl
y
,
and
who
fail
to
respond
to
any
effor
ts
to
motivate
them.”
The
interviewer
is
expecting
a
response
focused
on
personality
and
personal
d
islikes.
Surprise
her
by
delivering
an
answer
that
reflects
company
values
19.
Would
you
rather
work
for
money
or
job
sati
sfaction?
It’s
not
a
very fair
question
is
it?
We’d
all
love
to
get
paid
a
Trump
-
like
salary
doing
a
job
we
love
but
that’s
rare
indeed.
It’s
fine
to
say
money
is
important,
but
remember
that
NOTHING
is
more
i
mportant
to
you
than
the
job.
Otherwise, you’re
just
someone
looking
for
a
bigger
paycheck
.
20.
Would
you
rather
be
liked
or
feared?
I
have
been
asked
this
a
lot,
in
various
incarnations.
The
first
time
I
just
drew
a
blank
and
said,
“I
don’t
kno
w.”
That
went
over
badly,
but
it
was
right
at
the
start
of
my
career
when
I
had
little
to
no
experience.
Since
then
I’ve
realized
that
my
genuine
answer
is
“Neither,
I’d
rather
be
respected.”
You
don’t
want to
be
feared
because fear
is
no
way
to
motivate
a
team.
You
may
got
the
job
done
but
at
what
cost?
Similarly,
if
you’re
everyone’***est
friend you’ll
find
it
difficult
to
make
tough
decisions
or
hit
deadlines.
But
when
you’re
respec
te
d,
you
don’t
have
to
be
a
complete
bastard
or
a
lame
duck
to
get
the
job
done.
21.
Are you
willing
to
put
the
interests
of
X
Company
ahead
of
your
own?
Again, another
nasty
q
uestion.
If
you
say
yes, you’re
a
corporate
whore
who
doesn’t
care
about
family.
If
you
say
no,
you’re
disloyal
to
the
company.
I’m
afraid
that
you’ll
probably
have
to
say
yes
to
this
one
though,
b
ecause
you’re trying
to
be
the
perfect
employee
at
this
point, and
perfect employees
don’t
cut
out
earl
y
for Ji
mmy’***a***all
game.
it
is
situational.
if
you…
;
if you
….
Ethics
and
professionalism
22.
So,
expl
ain
why
I
should
hire
you
.
As
I’m
sure
you
know,
“because
I’m
great”
or
“I
really
need
a
job”
are
not
good
answer
s
here.
This
is
a
tim
e
to
give
the
employer
a
laundry
list
of
your
greatest
talents
that
just
so
happen
to
match
the
job
descriptio
n.
It’s
also
good
to
avoid
taking
potshots
at
other
potential
candidates
here.
Focus
on yourself
and
your
talen
ts,
not
other
people’s
flaws.
23.
Finally,
do
you
have any
questions to
ask me?
I’ll
finish
the
way
I
started,
with
one
of
the
most
common
questions
asked
in
interviews.
This
directly
rela
tes
to
the
research
you’
v
e
done
on
the
company
and
also
gives
you
a
chance to
show
how
eager
and
prepared
you
are.
You’ll
probably
want
to
ask
about
benefits
if
they
haven’
t
been
covered
already.
A
good
generic
one
is
“how
soon
could
I
start,
if
I
were
offered
the
job
of
course.”
You
may
also
ask
what
you’d
be
working
o
n.
Specifically,
in
the
role
you’re
applying
for
and
how
that
affects
the
rest
of
the
company. Always
have
que
stions
ready,
greeting
this
one
with
a
blank
stare
is
a
rotten
way
to finish
your
interview.
Good
luck
and
hap
py
job
hunting.
ponder
for
a
moment,
and
then
ask
your
interviewer
“what
aspect
of your
job
do
you
find
most
challenging”.
I
would
ask
the
interviewer,
“Why
do
you
like
to
work
here?”
24.
Where
do
you
want
to
be
in
5
to
years?
They
dont
want
to
hear
in
the
same
job
you
are
interviewing
for.
Ultimately,
the
HR
people
are
searching
for
someone
who
can
handle
the
job
now,
and
has
the
potential
to
grow
into
a
high
level
management
job
in
t
he
future.
Do
you
have
those
goals
too?
25.
Would
you
rather
work
for
a
big
company
or
a
small
one?
Favorite
answer:
I’d
treat any
company
like
it
was
my
own
regardless.
Total
ownership
of
the
situation
can
g
et
you
a
long
way.
General
,
t
he
worst
answer
was
“I
don’t
know.”
I’ve
since
learned
that
“it
depends,”
with
a
couple
of
exampl
es,
is
perfectly
appropriate
附带答案版本:
Don't
discuss
your
goals for
returning
to
school
or
having
a
family,
they
are
not
relevant
and
could
knock
you
out
of
contention
for
the
job.
Rather,
you
want
to
connect your
answer
to
the
job
you
are
appl
y
ing
for.

In

what
is
a

career
path for
someone
with
my
skills
and

第一个问题一般都是这个
Tell
me
about
yourself/
How
would
you
describe
yourself?
You
walk
into
the
interview
room,
shake
hands
with
your
interviewer
and
sit
down
with
your
best
interviewing
smile
on.
Guess
what
their
first
question
is?
me
about
yourself.
Your
interviewer
is
not
looking
for
a
1
0-minute
dissertation
here.
Instead,
offer
a
razor
sharp
sentence
or two
that
sets
the
stage
for
further
discuss
ion
and
sets
you
apart
from
your
competitors.
Your
Unique
Selling
Proposition
(USP)

about you
answer,
specifically
your
Unique

Proposition.
Known
as
a
personal
branding
or
a
value-added
statement, the
USP
is
a
succinct,
one-sentence
description
of
who
you
are,
your
b
iggest
strength
and
the
major
benefit
that
a
company
will
derive
from
this
strength.

What
a
difference you've
made
with
this
statement.
Your
interviewer
is
now
sitting
forward
in
her
chair
giving
you
her
full
attention.
At
this
point,
you
might
add
the
following
sentence:
like
to
discuss
how
I
might
b
e
able
to
do
something
like
that
for
you.
The
ball
is
now
back
in
her
court
and
you
have
the
beginnings
of
a
real
discussion
and
not
an
interrogation
process.

首先要明确他们想了解的是哪方面的内容
Do
they
want
to
know
about
your
career
so
far,
about your
hobbies
or
family
life?
If
in
doubt,
ASK
them
to
clarify
what
they
wish
you
to
talk
about.
Then
give
a
short

ending
with

anything
else
you'd
like
to
know
about
me?

The
interviewer
wants
to
know
whether
you
are
concerned
about
just
the
advanceme
nt
opportunity
or
the
company.
内部职位竞聘常会被问到如果你没有得到这份工作的话你将会怎么办的问题。
最佳答案
I
am
committed
to
this
company
and
its
advancement
so,
should
I
not
be
selected,
I
will
work
with
and
supp
ort
whoever
might
get
selected.
However,
I
do
feel
that
my
experience
in
the
department
and
with
the
team
would
make
me
the
best
candidate
How
would
your
boss
describe
you?
If
you
get
the
job,
your
interviewer
may
be your
future
boss
so
you
need
to
answer
this
question
carefully.
Describe
yourself
as any
boss
would
want
to
see
you.
You
might
say:
boss
would
describe
me
as
hard
working,
loyal
,
friendl
y
and
committed.
He
would
say
that
I
work
well
o
n
my
own
initiative
and
deliver
what
he
wants
on
time
and
to
a
high
standard
Again
,
don’t
use
the
term
“I
think
my
boss
would
say..”
as
it
gives
an element
of
doubt.
Be
positive
and
cert
ain
with
the
interview
answer you
give.
*
What motivates
you?
I
am
motivated
by
being
around
other
positive
people,
we
might
question
if
working
alone
would
suit
them.
I
am
motivated
by targets.
*
What
do
you
look
for
in
a
job?
This
is
really
a
question
about
suitability,
though
we've
included
it
here.
Remember
the
advert?
Focus
on
the
advert
criteria and
you
won't
go far
wrong.
For
example,
if
the
advert
c
alled
for
someone
to
lead
others,
you
might
say:
like
a
job
where
I
can
lead
and
motivate
others and
enjoy
seeing
improvements
in
team
performance
.
If
the
advert
called
for
a
target- focused
individual,
you
might
say:
like
having
targets.
They
encourage
me
to
stretch
mysel
f
and
beat
them!
*
What
is
your
personal
mission
statement
or
motto?
Not
everyone
has
one,
but
because
you
might
be
asked,
think
what
yours
would
be.
do
it!

time

others
as
you'd
wish

.
Our
advice:
This
is
one
of
those
times
when
we
ask
candidates
to
explain
their
answers to
our
interview
questions.
So,
whatever
you
say,
it's
likely
you'll
be
asked
to
give
a
reason
or
example
so
have
one
in
mind.
For
most
jobs,
you
want
to
sound
positive
and
motivated,
but
possibly
not
ruthless
or
inconsiderate.
*
What
do
you
enjoy
most about
what
you
do
now?
really
enjoy
the
technical
nature
of the
job
and
the
speed
at
which
I'm
able
to
fix
faults.
I
get
a
lot
of
sat
isfaction
from
getting
people
back
to
work
as
soon
as
possible
If
working
as
part
of
a
team
is
mentioned
as
a
requirement
of
the
job,
you
might
answer:
really
enjoy
being
part
of
a
team.
I
like
it
when
the
team
pulls
together to
achieve
something
and
everyo
ne
can
take
some
credit
.
*
What
do
you
enjoy
least about
your
current
rol
e?
A
good
interview
answer
might
go
something
like
this:
I
enjoy
everything
about
what
I
do.
I
suppose
if
I
had
to
give
something
up,
it
would
be...
The
'something'
depends
on
you,
but
it's
best
to
mention
something
incidental
to
your
job,
like
admin
or
pap
erwork.
So you
might
say:
not
sure
(pause).
I
suppose
if
I
had
to
pick
something
to
give
up
it
would
be
paperwork.
I
know
it's
i
mportant,
and
I
do
it
well,
but
if
someone
else
did
if
for
me,
that
would
be
great!
*
Why
do you
want
to
l
eave
your
current
job/company?
If
you're
appl
y
ing
for
a
more
senior
job,
you
might
answer:
really
enjoy
what
I
do,
but
I'm
ready
for
more
responsibility
and
challenge
which
your
job
offers.
Unfortun
ately,
my
current
job/employer
can't
give
me
this.
If
this
isn't
the
reason,
use
yours
instead,
but
always
be
positive
in
your
answers
to
tough
interview
ques
tion
*
What
do
you
think
of your
current
boss?
current
boss
is
great.
He
sets
the
team
challenging
but
realistic
targets
and
motivates
us
to
achieve
the
m...
current
boss
is
very
good.
She
deals
with
her
team
firmly
but
fairly
and
enjoys
our
respect
because
of
this...
If
your
current
boss
is
not
great, and
you
are
prepared
to
answer
more
interview
questions
about
this,
s
ay
so,
but
do
balance
each
criticism
with
a
positive
point.
Remember
the
need
to
appear
positive
in
your
ans
wers
to
interview
questions.
You
might
say:
current
boss
has
strengths
and
weaknesses.
He
is
very
good
at
listening
to
people
but
sometimes,
in
my
view,
doesn't
deal
with
underperformers
firmly
enough.
This
affects
team
morale
sometimes...
*
What
will
you
mi
ss
about
your
present
job?
People
is
the
best
interview
answer
here.
Say
anything
else
and
you're
suggesting
the
job you're
applying
for
won't
give
you
everything
you
had
and
more,
and
might
even
leave
you
wanting!
As
you think
about
answers
to
interview
questions,
always
have
in
mind
the
need
to
create
a
positive
impress
ion.
I'm
confident
that
the
job
you're
offering
will
give
me
everything
I
have
now
and
more
so
I
don't
think
I'll
miss
anything
about
the
job
itself.
But
I'll
miss
some
of
the
people
of
course...
*
What
can you
tell
me
about
XYZ
Company?
If
you
need
to,
start
by
saying
it
ok
if
I
refer
to
my
notes?
When
you
get
the
nod,
off you
go.
A
good
interview
answer
should
include
short
factual
statements
covering
such
things
as
the
Company's
h
istory,
its
products,
staff
numbers,
turnover
and
future
business
objectives.
Something
like
this
is
fine:
believe
the
Company
began
in
1967,
with
just
one
outlet,
but
now
has
25.
From
what
I've
read,
you
sell
A,
B
and
C
products
across
Europe
and
the
States
and
have
a
turnover
in
excess
of
$$5
million.
You
employ

beleive you
hope to
enter
the Asian
market
by
2010

done
some
research
and
can
tell
you
more
if
you
like
You
will
likely
hear
that's fine.
Thank
you.
Your
interviewers
will
be
impressed
that
you
prepared
and
made
notes
and
you're
off
to
a
good
start.
*
What
do
you
think
XYZ
Company
can
offer you?
There
are
two
bits
to
this
interview
question,
the
role
and
the Company.
Mention
both.
You
might
say:
told
the
Company
has
a firm
commitment
to
individual
training
and
development.
This
is
great
news
fo
r
me
because
I'm
keen
to
learn
and
advance
in
the
Company.
The
role
itself
appears
challenging
and
rewardi
ng
which
I'll
find
very
motivating
*
If
you're
successful,
what
do you
think you'll
be
doing
day-to- day?
You
might
start
by
saying
understand that
I'll
be...
.
Then
you
could
talk
about
the
main
role,
any
oth
er
activities
and
any
targets you
expect
to
be
given.
What are
your
strengths/weaknesses?
IMPORTANT
--
this
common
job
interview
question
can
be
asked
in
many
different
ways,
such
as
qua
lities
do you admire
in
others
that you
would
like to
develop
in
yourself?
Strengths
should
be
easy
enough
to
think
about
(keep the
position
in
mind).
Talking
about
weaknesses
can
be
harder
but
good
interview
answers
are
still
possible.
Many
people
choose
to
mention
something
which
they've
recognized
as
being
a
weakness
but
have
overcome.
like
to
be
more
organized,
like
one
of
my
colleagues.
She
doesn't
have
to try.
But
because
I
don't
fin
d
it
as
easy
as
her,
I
use
to-do
lists
and
a
diary
to
help
me
successfully
manage
my
work
On
a
final
note,
it's
much
safer
to
highlight
your
lack
of
experience
or
knowledge
as
a
weakness than
a
fault
in
your
personality.
Employers
can always
give
you experience
but
few
want
to
help
you
overcome
shortcomi
ngs
in
your
personality!
So
avoid
telling
interviewers
that
you
bored
or
invol
v
ed
or
Why
did you
think you
are suited
to
this
job?
What
they are
really
asking
is
know
what
we
are
looking
for
so
can
you
tell
us
what
you
have
done
or
what
you
have,
that
is
relevant.
Why
should
we
give
the
job to you
above
other applicants?
This
is
often
our
closing
question.
We
want to
know,
in
a
nutshell,
why
you
are
the
best
candidate for
the
jo
b.
This
is
a
chance
to
list
your
best
attributes
as
they
relate
to
the
vacancy.
Don't
be
cocky,
but
don't
be
sh
y.
*
How
well
do
you
work
under
pressure?
“I
know
that
all
jobs
involve
some
sort
of
pressure
at
some
time.
I
can
work
as
well
under
pressure
as
I
do
at
any
other
time
but
when
I
am
busy,
I
prioritize
acti
v
ities
so
that
my
workload
is
manageable.”
If
the
interviewers
focus
on
other
pressure,
such
as
pressure
to
meet
targets,
dealing
with
difficult
customers
etc,
give
an
appropriate
reply,
mentioning
past
situations
where
you
have
coped
under
such
pressure.
*
What
sort
of
people
do
you
find
it
difficult
to
work
with?
“I
am
an
easy
going
person
who
seems
to
get
on
with
everyone.
If
I
have
to
pick
a
type
of
person
that

me,
it's
the
one
who
doesn't
pull
their
weight
or
isn't
worried
about
the
standard

because
it
reflects

Sell
me this
pen!
In
interviews
for

job, you
may
hear this,
believe
us!
In
fact,
one
of
us
had
a
non-sales
interview
and
was
asked
this,
unexpectedly.
The
object
you
are

ed
to
sell
could
in
fact
be
anything.
Some
interviewers
li
ke
to
see
whether you
focus
on
the
benefits
of
the
object
or
its features.
The
features
of
the
pen
might
be

with

The
benefits
might
