外企各大类型题考察意图烂熟于心，英文面试易如反掌。
　　1　Tell me about yourself
　　　　这是面试官惯用的开场白。千万不要长篇大论背诵简历。你可以在这时将最突出的优点概括性地总结，并引导面试官向你早已准备好的方面发问。
　　　2　What types of prospective job tasks do you enjoy the most？Which prospective job tasks do you least care to do﹖
　　　　主要考察应聘者会否对工作中的很多地方感到厌倦；另外还考察你对自己的喜好是否诚实，你是否了解这份工作的基本职责；你是否认识到任何职业都会包含一些枯燥无味的日常工作。
　　　3　What is your greatest weakness﹖
　　　　不要把那些明显是优点的品行当成缺点说，这种落入俗套的方式早已被面试官厌倦。可以说一些对于你应聘这个职位没有影响的缺点，对于那些在面试中已经表现出的明显弱点，你可以利用这个问题加以弥补，显示你早已意识到，并且正在改进，已经取得了较大进展。
　　　4　What do you plan to be doing five years from now﹖
　　　　主要考察你的职业目标是否符合公司的要求；这份职业是否是你达到目的的合理选择；你是否有继续发展的热情；你的野心是否和这份职业的要求相契合；你的发展潜力有多大。如果你应聘大企业，千万不要提你想创业，如果应聘小企业，这倒是个合理的回答。
　　　5　What college ***jects did you like best and least﹖ Why﹖
　　　　这个问题用来发现应聘者是怎样类型的人。即使你喜爱的课程与专业无关，也要表现出它对你申请的工作有所帮助。
　　　6　What is your class rank�� and your grade point﹖ Why are your grades so low﹖
　　　　如果你的成绩不好，你要准备好适当的解释。
　　7　　What are your interests on outside work﹖ What campus or community activities have you been involved in﹖
　　　　列举主要的一两个兴趣爱好即可，强调自己有很多兴趣爱好容易使人怀疑你有多少时间用来工作，还可能导致面试官对你的夸大其词的厌恶。
　　　8　What adjectives would you use to describe yourself﹖
　　　　无论词藻华丽与否，一定要体现自身的特点，并且与众不同。务必为每个词准备好具体的例子。
　　　9　How do you deal with someone in your group who isn't pulling his or her weight�� or disagree with your goals﹖
　　　　考察你的团队合作能力和领导能力。用激励代替批评。回想那些你试图鼓励他人，并使他改变初衷，转为赞同你的观点的例子。
　　　　10，What position do you normally take on a team﹖
　　　　考察你的团队合作技巧。不要把自己形容为一个跟随者或是领导者。公司希望你在团队合作中不懂时提出问题，必要时帮助他人，承担责任，做出贡献。好的合作者在团队中的角色是动态的。
　　　11　Tell me what you're most proud of on your experiences﹖
　　　　这个问题几乎是每一位求职者必然面对的问题，最好挑选能够体现公司希望看到的素质的事例。
　　　12　What is the worst mistake you've ever made﹖
　　　　千万不要提那些人生污点，任何公司都会敬而远之。可以讲述一个有价值的教训，最好发生在很久以前，强调你从中学到现在，它如何影响你的今后发展。
