雅虎香港財經 【商業英語】面試實戰句式攻略（Frankie Chan）
求職面試中，需以英語回答是常識吧！就算不是整個面試都以英語進行，總可能會有一個環節，要測試應徵者的英語應對能力。應徵行政職級或其他更高職位時，極可能會被僱主以英語連珠炮發地提問，如準備不足的話，很容易會變成砲灰。出醜之餘，也會損害自己在行內的名聲。
既然機會只會留給有準備的人，求職者必須事前好好預備及練習，以增加面試的自信。雖然我們不能準確預測僱主的問題，但總有些關於自己的材料可以預先準備的。因此，我們會一連幾星期，談談面試的實用句式與詞彙，希望能在求職路上助大家一臂之力。
Talking about Working Experiences 談及工作經驗
Do you have any practical（實在的）experience as a personal assistant?
What have you learned from your previous job?
Do you have any experience in advertising?
Do you have any sales experience?
I work for Apple.
I used to work as a shop assistant at GAP. （“Used to”有過去慣常的意思，這裏指「曾在」。）
I have been working as a computer programmer for 4 years.
I’ve been working there since 2009.
I just graduated. I haven’t had an opportunity to work yet.
I can't say I have much working experience yet.
I have 3 years of experience in marketing.
I have 2 years’ experience in sales. （兩年的工作經驗，可以“2 years’ experience” 或“2 years of experience”表達）
Why I left my previous job…為何離開之前的工作
My reason for leaving my previous company is that I wish to get into the advertising business.
I plan to leave the present job in order to be able to get into the advertising business.
I would like to get a more specialized （專門的） job.
I liked the job. However, the firm is too small for me to widen my experience.
I hope to have a job that offers me an opportunity for advancement（ 發展、晉升）.
To be honest, the job was a bit too simple. I’m looking for something more challenging with more responsibilities to move up.
Why I apply for this job…為何應徵這份工作
One reason that I would like to be employed with your firm is that you’re dealing with customer service which I’m very interested in and good at.
I’m interested in working with your company because my major was computer programming. So I wish to have the opportunity to apply what I’ve learned.
To me, pleasant working conditions with co-operative staff are also important.

情景對話
A: Good afternoon.
B: Good afternoon. Please take a seat. I'm Stanley and I’m the Personnel Manager.
A: Glad/ Nice to meet you. I’m Daisy.
B: Nice to see you too, Daisy. I would like to ask you a few questions.
A: Sure, please.
B: You graduated from the Department of Business Administration of City University in 2010…
A: That’s right. Since my graduation, I’ve been working at the sales department of The Best Company, which speaks highly of （有很高的評價）my work.
B: How do you get along with your boss?
A: Quite well.
B: Do you like your work?
A: As a matter of fact, I do.
B: Then why do you want to leave the company?（這是僱主設陷阱給應徵者的一貫手法，先引導對方說前公司沒有任何不妥，然後立即反問為何要離開，殺你一個措手不及。)
A: I enjoy things more challenging. The work you advertised involves more overseas business. That’s the sort of work I like very much.（把視線稍為轉移，不要再纏繞在前公司上，而將重點放在自己如何更適合新公司）
B: I see. Can you tell me why you believe you are qualified for this position?
A: I have 2 years of experience as a salesperson, and I’ve already had quite a few customers overseas. I can also speak Japanese. I believe I can establish more business ties for your company.
B: Sounds excellent…
