When they finish quizzing you, interviewers always ask, “So, do you have any questions?” That’s your cue to show off your research with queries about the company’s competitors, plans for growth, specific products, etc. But some questions can make you seem ill-prepared, overeager or disagreeable. Here, eight commonly asked bloopers. （下面是8個(gè)常犯的錯誤）

 

1.     What, exactly, does your company do?

Never pose questions that a library search could have answered. （輕易能查到的）

 

2.     What does the job pay?

Avoid money discussions until the interviewer makes you an offer.

 

3.     How many vocation and personal days do you allow?

Makes you sound lazy – again wait for the offer. （應等面試官主動(dòng)提出）

 

4.     How long will it take me to get promoted?

Try a less pushy version: “Can you describe what my career-advancement track might be like?” （試著(zhù)婉轉的說(shuō)法，比如：“能否談?wù)勎夜ぷ鞯陌l(fā)展前景嗎？”

 

5.     Is that your husband in the picture on your desk?

Don’t initiate a personal discussion; stick to questions about her career path. （不要談?wù)搨€(gè)人私人問(wèn)題，要緊扣對方的事業(yè)問(wèn)題）

 

6.     What are you going to do about the poor performance of Product X?

Reframe the question positively: “what plans do you have to build sales for Product X?”（應正面提問(wèn)：“你們計劃怎樣提高某產(chǎn)品的銷(xiāo)售額？”

 

7.     What’s your company’s track record on promoting women and minorities?

A legitimate questions, but interviewers may worry that you’ll sue if you don’t advance quickly. Instead, check out the company’s reputation through the industry grapevine. （問(wèn)題合理，但面試官可能會(huì )擔心一旦你的晉升不快時(shí)會(huì )因此起訴他們。還是通過(guò)本行業(yè)內線(xiàn)來(lái)了解公司的聲譽(yù)為好）

 

8.     So, when do I start？

A slightly obnoxious quip. Don’t invite yourself into the job. (問(wèn)得好，但有些招人嫌。不要不請自來(lái)。)
