外企面试英语快速指南
美国企业的领导认为, WE can not recruit the smartest people, but we will try to recruit the people we love most and the people love us most. 这跟找对象一样. 那么美国人非常看中团队精神, they like you to evolve into team sports, such as football, basket ball, swimming team, etc. 深层次的含义是, you are a team player that can be coached. 听教练话, 而不是总是问为什么向东, 为什么向西. When you are told to do so, do not ask why, company means a group of people organized by a charter to achieve return on investment or profit, sometimes your manager has no obligation or time to tell you why you need to get your ass down there or why you need to do such shit things.
Team player no only means you need to listen to what the management tells you, but also back up your team members or your coworkers. 人家出差了, 生病了, 你愿意帮人家吗? 其实帮人家就是帮经理, 就是帮自己, 给人一种印象你有大局观念. Don’t forget to use examples to give your point more credit.
思考题: your interviewer ask you, “if your manager have a disagreement with you on an issue, and you definitely believe your thought is correct, will you discuss this with your manager? And how would you approach to that?”

They said western countries are democratic, but the MNCs of democratic countries are definitely a Battalion in an Army. 官大一级压死人, you never have a fight with the person who make the paycheck to you. 接上面的思考题:
Your interviewer ask you, “if your manager have a disagreement with you on an issue, and you definitely believe your thought is correct, will you discuss this with your manager? And how would you approach to that?”
如果你说, 我就听他的好了, 那你是对公司不负责任, 觉得事情要坏还当和事老. 如果你说你跟他讨论, 那违背了团代精神, 把公司业务当成是学术, 无休止争论. 怎么办?
最好的办法是先肯定提问者的问题, “That is a good question, the situation you have described might happen on a regular basis.” (马屁要不断拍)

“If I have a disagreement with my manager, what I would like to do is to carefully analyze the situation.
其实真正工作中根本不是这样, 面试者不过考你的反应能力与圆滑程度. America is a verbal country, people judge you by the vocabulary you are using. 英语学习要靠积累, 临阵磨枪是没有什么大用处的, 我的观点是, 英语学习的基础是词汇, 没有大量职业生涯中常用的词汇, 说出来的东西是不职业的.

Aggressive sometimes means being tough in a corporate culture. 美国有很多狼群公司, 如investment banks, consulting firms, 这里要非常凶, 能说, 把自己一说成十. 也有很多传统工业公司, 如GE, NT, IBM等不需要那么凶, 要重视同事的感觉, 太能干太能说, 别人会反感, 这些地方是养老的地方, 那么拼命别人会有压力. 常见问题是
“What is your 5 year plan in your career objective?”
这时一定要给人感觉你是上进的, 追求学习的, 但是别让你顶头上司感觉你太气势逼人, 5年内就超他, 但是原地踏步肯定是LOSER, 没人喜欢.
