年後是轉職高峰期,你有成功轉職嗎?
小編發現能夠成功轉職,除了必備的專業知識,
如果有很好的語言能力,轉職才容易成功。
轉職,英文 switch jobs 或者是 change jobs,是許多求職者在求職季時汲汲營營的職涯目標。許多人會因為不滿意目前工作環境、薪水或是想要轉換跑道,進而選擇下班後進修英文,準備轉職時面臨的英文面試。不過在準備轉職面試時,需要事先做好哪些準備?本篇完整告訴你如何準備轉職英文面試,讓人資滿意你的表現。
準備轉職,商業英文檢定為進入面試的門票
職場上,無論是想轉職當工程師,還是目標進入外商公司,英文能力可以說是必備項目,而在履歷上適時展現自己的英文能力,更能提升爭取面試的機會,包含準備英文Resume、Cover Letter及列出英文考試成績等,一般來說,商業英文以TOEIC為常見職場商用英文認證,而國內上市櫃公司對於英文要求大多為TOEIC 700分為門檻,視職務與英文使用程度而定;至於外商公司,則以TOEIC 800分或更高分數,來作為進入面試關卡的篩選條件。
轉職英文自我介紹準備好,給未來主管留下好印象
英文自我介紹可以說是面試關卡中的必考題,而在轉職過程中,容易因為過去工作經驗與未來求職無關聯而卡關,為證明自己有足夠實力與對該職位的熱情,你可以在英文自我介紹時這樣做:
- 說明自己為什麼想轉換跑道,並與過去工作經驗結合
- 說明自己為了轉職做了哪些努力,例如上線上課程、請教前輩、做專案等
- 說明過去工作經驗的優勢強項,並與應徵職缺做連結
轉職英文自我介紹的簡單範例
My name is __(name)____. It’s my pleasure to have the interview with you.
I’m a ___(job title)________ with XX years of experience in ___(job function)__.
At my current job in ___(company name)____, I have managed/created/am responsible for ___(job description)_____ and become adept at __(your skills)______ .
I understand the position of XXX you’re looking for. You are seeking a candidate with a lot of communication skills and practical thoughts etc… I believe that my work experiences and skills make me an ideal candidate for the position. Thank you.
此外,許多面試官也會利用英文做英文對答,測試面試者的臨場反應與口語邏輯表達,當被問到題目時,多少都會因為緊張而影響到整體表現,此時,幾個好用的開頭語就很重要了。謹記開頭語,不僅可以為自己爭取思考的時間,整體下來也會顯得更加專業,這邊列出6個常用開頭語作為參考:
- In my opinion/ In my view, …
- For me, …
- The way I see/ As I see it, …
- Personally speaking, …
- For my part, …
- My point is, …
盤點換工作英文常見問答,準備實用回答句型
除了英文自我介紹,還有幾道經典面試題,也常做為英文面試題,例如:
1.Why did you leave your last job?
當被問到離開上一份工作的原因,有些真實原因你可能很想講,但切忌談到前東家的壞話。先示範錯誤範例:
- My boss has unrealistic expectations and it is hard to achieve.
- I don’t want to work overtime.
你可以這樣回答:
- I want to make a career change from my current industry to a different one.
- I’m seeking a new opportunity for career growth.
2.What are your weaknesses and strengths?
談及個人優勢與劣勢,面試官想聽的是優勢如何讓這份工作做得更好;劣勢則是透過自我覺察努力改善,最好可以在面試前先列出2-3項優劣勢,並且以自身經驗作闡述說明,常在面試中提及的優劣勢如下:
- 優勢:
- Attentive/detail-oriented
- Collaborative
- Creative/ Innovative
- Determined
- Empathetic
- Enthusiastic/passionate/driven
- Flexible/versatile
- Patient
優勢的重點在於自信心的展現,並且可在此題強調工作經驗的成就佐證。
- 劣勢:
- Lack of confidence
- Perfectionism
- Not good at public speaking
- Limited experience in a nonessential skill (especially if obvious on your resume)
- Lack of particular experience
- Not detail-oriented/too detail-oriented
至於劣勢,重點在「你透過哪些努力去改善這項劣勢,使得這項劣勢獲得很大的進展」先看錯誤範例:
- (X) I have terrible time management skills. I’m always behind in my work.
未解釋後續如何改善這項劣勢,較適當的回答如下:
- (O) I have terrible time management skills. I’m always behind in my work. In order to improve it, I keep a to-do list and prioritize tasks. That help me work more efficiently than before.
3.Why Do You Want to Change Jobs?
當被問到這一題時,可以將答案放在這份工作能帶來哪些成就,以及如何完整職涯規劃上,切忌夾帶負面情緒,先看錯誤範例:
- (X) My boss gives me too much work, so I’m overworked.
較適當的例子如下:
- (O) I am interested in learning more about (something this job includes), and this job provides an opportunity to leverage my current areas of expertise and increase my skills in…
