Hello, I graduated from the 211 program in 2011. I am now interviewing as a foreign trade business assistant. Can you tell me some procedures and precautions, as well as questions related to the difficulty of the interview?

I am here to interview a foreign trade salesperson. You are asking about a foreign trade business assistant. The job may be simpler

1. Require candidates to introduce themselves in Chinese.

Although it is listed on the resume, this process is to understand the candidate's expressive ability.

Among them, the focus is to understand the candidate’s previous experience. If there is no work experience, part-time work can be used as a reference. If you have never done part-time job. It will look at the candidate's performance in school.

It should be noted that the company is looking for social people, so when you come to the interview, don’t talk too much about your achievements in school.

2. Look at the English proficiency certificate

The most basic is that there are four levels. If the company recruiting is large, then Level 6 is the entry level.

If you are an English major and have Level 4 or Level 8 professional certificates, you will be selected. If you have a certificate, bring the original with you and show it to the HR department if necessary.

3. Self-introduction in English

This is also to understand the English speaking ability of the test taker. Therefore, even if you have to memorize a paragraph, you must recite it fluently. Of course, if your spoken English is good, your English is fluent during the introduction, your pronunciation is accurate, and your user words are authentic. That's the best.

One thing that needs to be said is that for those who can go for an interview, the first round is usually an interview with the Human Resources Department, which is just to understand the qualifications of the candidate and make some records for the employing department. The second round is usually with the head of the employing department (you may be interviewing with the manager of the foreign trade/export department), who is at least a business leader. After the introduction, they should ask some impromptu questions. It depends on your answer. You have to tell the truth, you can't say you have work experience when you don't have it. This can be easily seen.

Because most of the people who go for interviews are international trade, business English graduates, or outstanding people from other departments who have transferred to this field. It is easy for them to ask about your work experience level. To come out. So, tell the real situation.

4. Talk about hobbies and interests

Some supervisors or HR directors will use these questions to understand your outlook on life, values, and career planning.

So, you have to talk about your positive aspects, such as playing basketball and participating in school competitions. Don't talk about things like when you sleep at home until twelve o'clock on Sunday and don't get up. Of course, this is not not allowed, but talking about these things, when others do not have a deep understanding of you, it is easy to have a bad impression of you. After all, you are applying for a sales position. What others are looking for is someone who is ambitious and ambitious.

5. Basic questions about international trade

Generally, very basic questions will be asked, such as what is FOB and what are the most common export steps. If you know more, the interviewer will ask more difficult questions step by step.

6. Business English

Anyone doing foreign trade cannot escape business English. Under normal circumstances, we will take an email from a customer and directly take the original text, remove the contact information, and give it to you to translate. You translate it one by one. If you are not familiar with it, it doesn’t matter if you go slower. Don't make things up or answer based on your own assumptions. Regarding this, the most important thing is how much you learned in school. It will be reflected immediately.

7. Other questions

7.1. Some companies will test you with some questions, or use some questions from insurance companies to test you, in order to understand your personality. This is what you do, and this cannot be filled in. But do it in a down-to-earth manner.

7.2. What is not mentioned above is that some interviewers generally have different personal preferences, or they may have different emphasis on the same question. Just adapt.

Let me remind you that during the interview process, all interviewers do not like people who are overconfident and boastful. After all, in China, people's ideas are relatively traditional, and everyone likes pragmatic people.

Good luck!
