HR specifies the types of English interview and English test.

? I have won an interview for a foreign company. There are generally English requirements. If there are job advertisements, look at their English requirements. If someone recommends, for example, hunting

Ask the other company what level of English this position requires first, so as to get ready. Generally speaking, there are two basic types of English test for foreign companies: one is written test. The written test mostly examines writing, including English-Chinese translation and Chinese-English translation, as well as composition. Translating Chinese into English is a bit difficult for many people. After all, Chinese is extensive and profound, and it will be difficult to translate it into simple and clear English, vocabulary and grammar. In the translation part, many companies will focus on introducing their corporate culture, ideas and company history. At least I have interviewed four Fortune 500 companies. For such a topic, it is generally difficult to translate if you don't browse their Chinese and English websites well in advance. Suggestion: When you go to a foreign company for an interview, you must look at its Chinese and English websites, especially the English pages. Those company introductions and news need attention. I remember going to Avon for an interview one year, and there was a topic related to the nursing project they had done for female breast cancer. Fortunately, I read their website the night before, otherwise I really don't know what the topic is, and it is a very professional vocabulary. As for English composition, it is not very difficult. Everyone can make up two sentences. If you really can't write enough words or express yourself clearly, I still suggest you learn English writing before going to the interview, otherwise you will waste your time. The content of the composition usually asks: What is your career goal in five years? What do you think of XX industry? What kind of achievements do you hope to achieve in the company? ? Continuing written test (also BS): There are also some written tests of reading comprehension, such as CET-4 and CET-6 in our university. I'll give you a few paragraphs, read and choose the answers, and see your basic understanding of English. Personally, I think this kind of test is high definition. At least I won't force my corporate culture into the minds of job seekers during the interview, even if those corporate cultures look ideal and happy. This is all I encountered in the written part of the English exam. Other types of written tests may appear, for example, in the recruitment of fresh graduates of P&G and interviews of other companies that like to use tools for testing. If you encounter it, you have to rely on your own strain and strength to solve it. There is no way. After reading some posts, someone is discussing the function of the cover letter. Personally, I have the following experience: don't pat the brick when you say it, because my mind is thin. First, the cover letter is basically useless. No one was moved by you because your application letter was written in a fancy way, and you were in tears. Remember, the company recruits pragmatic people. Compared with some private business owners, those stories that get opportunities by an affectionate cover letter are more likely to have enterprises that emphasize individuality and variability. What's more, many cover letters are mediocre and lengthy, and even interfere with the line of sight. It's best not to write them. Second, the English cover letter, I want to shine, but I want to shine. Unless they graduate from English major, most China students have studied English for ten years, and their articles are full of problems and low-level mistakes. So am I, so don't write your own English application letter, please ask friends with good English level for help. Don't expose your weaknesses and gild the lily. I have a friend who worked as an import and export clerk in a private enterprise, and later worked as a program in a software company. Now he wants to apply for Nike as a salesman. Not to mention whether his work experience and experience can get this position, I have been sweating for a long time after reading his application letter. He used many complicated structures and grammars to explain how much he disliked his previous industry and work. I talked with him, and he said that he used the latest American spoken language to express his true thoughts. A foreign company depends on character, but he doesn't want to do it? Decoration? . I can only tell him that I admire his courage and honesty, but I can only wish him to continue looking for the next opportunity. Only before sending a handwritten resume can a cover letter be very effective, provided that your handwriting is good, sincere and targeted. Don't think that writing a cover letter casually is better than not writing at all, then you are wrong. You would rather not write it than apply a template. Enterprises will look at your qualifications first, and then look at the cover letter if they have spare capacity. The icing on the cake is ok, but don't expect it to make up for your other shortcomings. Second, the oral test is an old routine. Whether it is an employer or a headhunter, you are always asked standard questions, such as self-introduction, such as personality, such as career planning, such as your gains and experiences. Many people may be nervous about the oral exam and don't know what to say. In fact, just like a Chinese interview, you just need to prepare in advance. For example, introducing yourself is basically a question, but don't answer casually. Write it yourself in advance, memorize it, and speak it naturally and fluently during the interview, at least you can leave a good impression. For people who don't usually use English very much, if they have the opportunity to go to a foreign company for an interview, they should at least read their English resumes several times the day before to understand their feelings and familiarize themselves with the preparation materials such as self-introduction. Otherwise, in the real interview, your mouth is tongue-tied, words are not pronounced correctly, and sentences are incoherent, which will fall short. What I want to say here is that unless you apply for an interpreter, or some middle and high-level positions need to communicate with foreigners, the general oral English exam is easy to pass, so don't be nervous. However, HR doesn't like people like this: What's on your resume? Fluent in English listening, speaking, reading and writing? As a result, I stuttered during the interview. Some people insist that their college English is very good, but they have no chance to get in touch with it after work, and they are not familiar with it now. Only by giving yourself some time can English be good. Not saying these words, but what did you do early? Prepare early and the interview will be completed in one go. There are more people applying for good positions in good companies. Why should I give you the opportunity to exercise? So, don't expect dog excrement luck to come often. If you really want to achieve your goal, you still have to make the necessary efforts. Speaking English, you don't need to take any training courses or recite many new concepts. A good interview English is actually enough for an interview with a foreign company. Another way to improve your oral interview quickly is to pay attention to the English description and qualification requirements of positions in foreign recruitment advertisements. These are so-called professional words that many people have a headache and are unfamiliar with. As long as you collect a few more, you will find that they are all similar, and the contents of individual words are similar. Your English resume can also be written according to this requirement, and it will be perfect if you add relevant experience and work performance. You can say it according to this in the interview, and you will be more sure. Basically, in the job advertisements of foreign-funded companies, the posts published in Chinese do not require high English, on the contrary, they need a slightly higher level of English. For those companies and positions that you are interested in, collecting more English recruitment needs will be of great help to improve your English. ;
