即使是中國(guó)面試官主持面試, 他也很有可能請(qǐng)申請(qǐng)人做英文自我介紹。所以和中文自我介紹一樣, 英文自我介紹也是必須要精雕細(xì)琢準(zhǔn)備的。
一、 關(guān)于英文自我介紹的3個(gè)疑問(wèn)
1. 面對(duì)中國(guó)面試官和外國(guó)面試官做英文自我介紹, 有什么區(qū)別嗎?
中國(guó)面試官讓申請(qǐng)人做英文自我介紹的目的主要是考查英文水平, 了解一下申請(qǐng)人的英語(yǔ)發(fā)音和流利程度。所以, 申請(qǐng)人要著重表現(xiàn)自己的英語(yǔ)水平, 重視發(fā)音、 語(yǔ)法、 流利程度。
外國(guó)面試官讓申請(qǐng)人做自我介紹的目的并非是考查英文, 而是要傾聽(tīng)申請(qǐng)人自我介紹當(dāng)中的細(xì)節(jié), 并根據(jù)這些細(xì)節(jié)來(lái)進(jìn)行下一步的提問(wèn)。所以, 在自我介紹當(dāng)中, 申請(qǐng)人要在希望面試官提問(wèn)的地方放慢語(yǔ)速, 或者用語(yǔ)氣加以強(qiáng)調(diào)。此外, 大部分外國(guó)面試官并不太了解中國(guó), 所以申請(qǐng)人在人名、 地名、 學(xué)校名、 公司名等一些具有中國(guó)特色的地方要放慢語(yǔ)速或者加以解釋。
2. 多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的英文自我介紹最合適?
一般來(lái)說(shuō), 面對(duì)中國(guó)面試官的英文自我介紹可以簡(jiǎn)短一些, 時(shí)間控制在
1分鐘到1.5分鐘之間比較合適。簡(jiǎn)短一些的自我介紹可以讓中國(guó)面試官更加容易記住你說(shuō)的話(huà)。
面對(duì)外國(guó)面試官的英文自我介紹可以稍微長(zhǎng)一點(diǎn), 以常速閱讀1.5分鐘到2分鐘為宜, 因?yàn)槟惚厝恍枰~外做一些關(guān)于人名或地名的解釋。
3. 面試官喜歡什么樣的英文自我介紹
一般來(lái)說(shuō), 具有以下特點(diǎn)的英文自我介紹符合面試官的期望值:
(1) 短句: 盡量是用口語(yǔ)化的短句, 易于面試官聽(tīng)懂;
(2) 慢速: 比中文自我介紹速度要放慢至少三分之一, 易于面試官輕松地傾聽(tīng);
(3) 強(qiáng)調(diào): 在需要面試官重點(diǎn)傾聽(tīng)的地方, 要用語(yǔ)調(diào)和語(yǔ)氣加以強(qiáng)調(diào), 使面試官格外注意你所表達(dá)的內(nèi)容。

自我介紹原文
I'm glad to introduce myself to you. My Chinese name is Ma Lin, but you can call me Rock, my English name. I chose Rock to be my English name because I want to be as tough as a rock, hehe. I was born and raised in Guangdong, so I speak both Cantonese and Mandarin.
I'll soon graduate from Zhongshan University, majoring in accounting. I think you may have interviewed quite a lot of students from our school, so you know this major prepares us for CGA and most courses are taught in English. My GPA is 3.6, it ranks number 9 in the 115 students in my grade. And I've passed 15 exams in CGA, I anticipate I will get the CGA qualification in 2009.
Besides having good academic performance, I was actively involved in student activities. I was in charge of Student Welfare (生活委員) in my class, and in the Student Union of our school. I enjoyed this position because what I did was very important to everybody, although it was mostly small details.
I had a three-month internship in Guangdong Zhengzhong Accounting Firm. I did the inventory check and helped the accountants to make the auditing reports. My boss was pleased with my performance and he asked me to recommend my classmate to join our team.
KPMG is my dream company. What's more, I have great interest in joining the Tax Department as my long term career goal is to be a tax consultant. I wish my dream could come true today. Thank you! (筆者備注: 英文面試只注重事實(shí), 不談"dream"。)

自我介紹原文
My English name is Julie. I chose Julie to be my English name because my family name is Zhu. I guess I'm not the first Julie you have interviewed, because there are so many Julies, hehe. My hometown is Wuhan, so I speak Hubei dialect in addition to Mandarin and some Cantonese.
I graduated from Guangzhou University two years ago. I had great performance in university, two scholarships, two awards of Excellent Student Cadre, and one impressive award of Full Attendance, which means I never missed a single class that semester!
My first job was receptionist and secretary in an electronic company, but I left in less than a year simply because I had little work to do there. At that time I could finish a day's work in several hours. I couldn't bear the boredom of having nothing to do, so I quit.
My current job is a very busy one. I work at Leshi Pharmaceutical Company. Leshi, as you can see on my resume, specializes in the wholesale of Chinese medicine, the annual sales are about 50 million RMB. I am one of the eight customer service representatives. I provide services to about fifty customers, inputting orders, pushing payments, handling complaints and so on. Last year I ranked number two of the eight representatives in the annual Satisfaction Survey. Sales reps gave me 4.5 and customers gave me 4.2 out of the full score of 5 for the services I provided.
I'm interested in Ciba for two reasons. The first reason is that I look forward to joining a big international company. The second reason is that I feel I meet your requirements. Although I've never worked in fine chemistry companies, the two-year experience in a pharmaceutical company has made me a qualified customer service representative who can meet the high standards. I believe you know that the pharmaceutical business usually has very strict requirements and high standards. In addition, I am sure I can learn how to use Oracle ERP in a short time, as I am very familiar with Hejia ERP, which is quite similar, and I use the English version at my present job. That's about all.

My GPA ranks in the top 40% among all students, but I have stronger C++ programming skills than many others. Also, I was the first one to learn Java in my class.

Technical Support Engineer is my ideal job because I have both a technical background and the ability to deal with clients. Also, traveling isn't a problem although I am a woman. (備注: 如果面對(duì)老外面試官, 則不談性別。如果和中國(guó)面試官用英文面試, 則可以談?wù)撔詣e差異。此乃文化差異。) I am quite an athlete, you see, I've been jogging in the morning for over two years!
