基本應聘必備：１．個人介紹；２．常見問答；３．信息獲取；４．表態技巧；５．潤

By the way, these  information is  just kind of reference; after all, it is difficult to cater all tastes. If you don't think it is polite or accepted, you can have your own or your better suggestion, we can discuss together.
After all, one person's abilities is limited, as a saying goes well, "Unity is strength."

The employers don't ask, which doesn't mean you couldn't say. For me, age is not a problem. Different age has diffferent advantages. The same to marriage situation. By the way, in North America, it is really not nice to ask people these question. However, if you'd like to tell people these things, that's your own freedom and rights.

"The employers don't ask, which doesn't mean you couldn't say. For me, age is not a problem. Different age has diffferent advantages."

In North America, age and marriage is a stuff of privacy. Do you think it is normal to talk about your privacy in interviewing? Anyway, if you want to tell, it is your business. But it is bizarre. Did you get any job from any American or Canadian company? If somebody asks your age and marriage during the interview, it is harassment. If you look at any job ads in North America. have you ever found anything about age and marriage. In China, it is another thing.

Yes,原野一郎, it seems the latter is more polite to me. Thanks!

Both of them sounds good to me!

Sorry, here should be "I'm a-fraid that's not what I expected".

You can say anything what you want.  [/COLOR].

should be "good for me". Thanks, 原野一郎! well done! good for you, too.

Thans for all the suggestions!

"1. Why did you leave your last( previous /former) job?

2.[B]Because I find it( the previous job) not as challenging as I previously

expected./ which means I made lots of progress and I am very aggressive,  

now I am looking for a more challening job.[/B]

I didn't see any difference between the above idea and  another saying

" I am looking for more chanllenging job".

Very detail information. thanks!

The big difference. Maybe it is difficult for you to understand it. Your answer is negative[/COLOR].My answer is positive[/COLOR]. Or yuo can say:"it was challenging but it is gone."

"1. Why did you leave your last( previous /former) job?

2.Because I find it( the previous job) not as challenging as I previously expected./ which means I am very aggressive and I am looking for a more challening job.

I didn't see any difference between the above idea and another saying

" I am looking for more chanllenging job"

Very good idea, however, if all the people could have these skills, then no one will fail in the  interviews. But many people don't even have much clue about the basic knowledge about how to deal with and prepare the question. That's why I wrote this! If you wanna get a better interview information, this is far from yours, sorry!

For many people, because language is a big barrier for them, so for those try the best to reduce the time of talk in order to hide the flaw.For sure, if language is not an issue, and you feel very confident, if so, I agree with you completely.

The same issue as the  above.

"Very good idea, however, if all the people could have these skills, then no one will fail in the interviews. But many people don't even have much clue about the basic knowledge about how to deal with and prepare the question. That's why I wrote this!

It is good. I just added my comments on your thread and revised the questions. I received interview skills training from my university's career center and successfully got a professional job in an American company in Montreal. That's why I add these comments. I didn't intend to offend you. I didn't mean it.

I don't think what you said is right. Sometimes the employ is very satisfied with your performance. And I am very postive about the job. I think I have the right to ask about the pay in case when I start to work, I even I don't know how much payment I will get, however, for those who are eager to find any job, they are a-fraid of asking these questions becuase they thought it would make him or her lose this job.

"then the senior manager has to leave his position to you.", Whoeve is more capable, who lives well. if  the interviewee  really has this ability, so the senior manager has no choice.
what's more, if one person can't think about it, how could he or she do it? " Dreams come true" is based that you're supposed  to have a dream first.

6.During my study at university, I attented courses in foreign trade and got

my B.S. degree before my graduation.

(在大學其間我學過外貿方面的課程並在畢業時拿到理科學士學位．）

before my graduation = 畢業前

畢業時拿到理科學士學位 = I deem it should be "I acquired my BS degree upon my graduation------"

呵呵呵，BS sounds like bullshit sometimes unfortunately. (just kidding)  原野一郎

What is the relationship bewtten "foreign trade" and B.S.理科? Usaually "foreign trade" is B.B. ( Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration / Management 商科)

I attented (attend 只是聽過,出席過, = present, 不一定修完學分) courses -- I did (did=finished 完成了) courses, I did some degree. I did MA. [/COLOR]

So this sentence can be rewritten like this:
At university, I did courses in Foreign Trade. I did my BB in 1999. [/COLOR]

If you talk with your classmates at Canadian university, you will find they like to tell you they did this and they did that. (學過這學過那,得到過什麼學位,在口語里用did, 書面用received B.A.)[/QUOTE]

在大學其間我學過外貿方面的課程並在畢業時拿到理科學士學位

To dear montrealer,

please open your eyes and read this line mentioned above for over three times before you utter your terrific voice. Please fix your terrific eyes on the words of 學過外貿方面的課程 ----並在----畢業時拿到理科學士學位, well, it does sound weird to me, but I am not so serious about it.

I am sure you have done your terrific uni courses and finally managed to acquire certain terrific qualifications, I suppose, therefore I reckon you must be familiar with some sort of stuff offered in a uni.

I can only presume the foreign tading might be an elective course / subject for this person, whereas his major could be in Science. My presumption is derived from supplied information, my dear montrealer.

BS = bachlor of Science, so it means he could have finished that trading course as well as his major in science. Why not? anything is possible. Anyhow, it is just a kind of scenario, why are you so fussy about it?

At any rate, I would like to give you a pat on your shoulder -----Well done, my dear friend. Good on you! [:487:]

"you don't have any plan for your future", if people could enjoy what they are doing, they must have a bright future-because the interests will make her or him more successful.

"you are not prepared" remember, every individual is different.

don't think what you said is right. Sometimes the employ is very satisfied with your performance. And I am very postive about the job. I think I have the right to ask about the pay in case when I start to work, I even I don't know how much payment I will get, however, for those who are eager to find any job, they are a-fraid of asking these questions becuase they thought it would make him or her lose this job.


--- Of course, if this job is just a pizza deliverer. Here my question is for any decent professional job.Something sometimes is not just "think". If you do some reserach in Internet, you will find more about why in North America, you cannot ask the question about the pay in your interview if the employer has not asked you.
