船員英文面試注意事項
一、面試形式
1 電話面試 我們有很多同學(xué)在中介公司的牽頭下,接到船東打來要求電話面試的電話。如果船東預(yù)約面試的時間對于你來說太緊,你可以要求推遲一下,以便有時間調(diào)整你的情緒和心情,或抽時間查閱一下常用船上的英文用語和電話面試的知識。 電話面試前,我們要準(zhǔn)備一份自己的簡歷、幾張空白的紙和一支筆。船東經(jīng)常會讓你簡單的介紹下個人情況,這些信息很多都能在簡歷上找到。筆和紙的目的就是面試時隨時記下考官的問題,特別是比較長和多的問題。 接到船東電話時,要顯得職業(yè)化和禮貌一些,你可以說“hello, this is Qiu Yang speaking, it is very nice to talk to you.” 另外,要保證電話面試時你的周圍沒有噪音;接聽電話時,也不要發(fā)出吃東西、喝水或打鍵盤的聲音。面試結(jié)束后,千萬記住要對考官表示感謝,你可以說“Thank you very much for your calling and interview. Hope to see you some day. Thanks.”
2 視頻面試
往屆的同學(xué)也曾經(jīng)遇到過這樣的面試。這種面試雖然不是面對面的面試。但也要求同學(xué)們有很好的臨場經(jīng)驗。考官也可以比較全面的了解考生,所以同學(xué)們要當(dāng)做面對面一樣的慎重。
二、面試過程和技巧 1 心理準(zhǔn)備
良好的心態(tài)是成功的一半,無論是什么樣的面試官,他們希望自己選中的都是自尊、自信、誠實、肯干、富有團(tuán)隊和敬業(yè)精神的人,而是否具備這些品質(zhì),考官往往在面試過程中就能得出部分結(jié)論。
因此,我們同學(xué)們在面試前不僅應(yīng)該做好充分的知識準(zhǔn)備,更應(yīng)該做好充分的心理準(zhǔn)備。在回答考官問題的同時,努力讓自己精神放松,要讓自己自信起來。
面試的結(jié)果雖然很重要,但是,應(yīng)該想到,只要自己盡力了,且發(fā)揮出了正常水平,至于是否成功,就沒什么好遺憾的了。
任何人一生中都會經(jīng)歷很多考驗,而在這些考驗中,很少有人都順順利利地全部通過,更多的時候你會碰到挫折甚至失敗。但是,即使是某次面試沒有成功,這種經(jīng)歷至少幫主了你自己發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的缺點和不足,為下次成功積累經(jīng)驗。
另外,由于我們甲類的同學(xué)大多數(shù)比較優(yōu)秀,所以有些同學(xué)面試的時候會想,自己是不是不如其他同學(xué)啊?其實,在與他人的競爭中,與其要說戰(zhàn)勝他人,不如說是戰(zhàn)勝自己。
在往屆的面試中,有些同學(xué)理論課學(xué)的非常好,但表現(xiàn)不盡人意,反而不如一些排名平平的同學(xué),這些同學(xué)與面試官的交流十分流暢,哪怕是聽不懂他們的問題,也能坦白對待或轉(zhuǎn)移到面試官有興趣的話題。
要知道,英文水平可以通過培養(yǎng)提高,但面對挑戰(zhàn)和挫折時坦然、淡定的性格可能讓面試官對你更為欣賞。這其中的關(guān)鍵就在于,在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r候,學(xué)會表現(xiàn)自己,有良好的心態(tài)非常重要。
只要你認(rèn)真準(zhǔn)備了,只要你對自己有信心,找到一份好工作是指日可待的事情。我們同學(xué)經(jīng)常說一句話,“在戰(zhàn)略上藐視敵人,在戰(zhàn)術(shù)上重視敵人”,所以,我們參加面試時,要千方百計甩掉心理包袱,輕裝上陣,信心十足。
2 知識準(zhǔn)備
在面試時,千萬不要表現(xiàn)出對學(xué)校及學(xué)校所開設(shè)的課程有什么抱怨,船東可能會覺得你妄自菲薄,并且可能會認(rèn)為你這個人過于挑剔,很難適合團(tuán)隊合作,更有可能會覺得你將來會挑剔船公司及船上的管理規(guī)定。
關(guān)于英語,英語學(xué)習(xí)并不是只在課堂上及面試前,在日常的生活中,同學(xué)們都要加強英語的學(xué)習(xí)。
3 形象準(zhǔn)備
總的來說,面試時要對考官友善、真誠、不卑不亢、謹(jǐn)慎、也要幽默風(fēng)趣。
面試中,考官說的話要仔細(xì)傾聽。如果沒聽懂,大家可以問,“I’m sorry, I beg your pardon?”。 如實在聽不懂或不知道考官問的問題,請大家不要沉默,實事求是,大方的告訴考官“I am sorry,but I really have no idea about your question.”,但不要說“I’m sorry,sir,but my English is not very good.”你認(rèn)為自己的英語不好,那考官會認(rèn)為,你為什么要選擇甲類,上這干嘛來了?可以適當(dāng)讓考官給你些提示,“If possible, could you tell a litlle more about the answer to the question?”。 但是,如果我們的同學(xué)對問題有更多的見解,也不要滔滔不絕,展示自己的實力是對的,但是問題的答案不要超出問題本身的范圍。另外,考官提問時,不要試圖打斷考官的話。 回答問題要有條理性。比較復(fù)雜的問題,要仔細(xì)傾聽,把問題的內(nèi)容補充一下,如無法一下子得出答案或者答案太長,可以說“I am sorry, but if possible, could you give me a short moment to think about the question?”
4 面試中二戒
一戒逞強好勝、言辭激烈、耍小聰明。
二戒孤芳自賞、態(tài)度冷淡。

三、面試問題 1.Please briefly introduce yourself.
請簡單介紹一下你自己
自我介紹中可以涵蓋你的名字、年齡、家鄉(xiāng)、專業(yè)、興趣愛好等等。你可以挑選出你比較特別的地方,曾經(jīng)有同學(xué)面試時說到我非常擅長籃球,結(jié)果面試官很高興,因為他也很喜歡籃球,接下去兩個人討論了很久NBA,跟考官有共同語言是好事。
你還可以羅列你家庭的情況,父母的職業(yè),因為面試官通常認(rèn)為,那些家庭情況不那么好的同學(xué),會比較踏實的做海員。如果進(jìn)去坐下后面試官沒有對你有什么要求,而是翻看你的簡歷,雙方沉默中你可以主動要求介紹自己。這也是面試官很欣賞的。
Example:
Good morning. It is very nice to meet you here. My name is Liming. I am from Henanprovince, which is located in the north of
2.Please tell me what major you got in college?
你在學(xué)校學(xué)的是什么專業(yè)啊?
My major is ship engineering/navigation.
3.What courses(subjects) have you learned during your studies here? Which courses do you like most? Why?
你在大學(xué)里學(xué)了些什么課程?你最喜歡哪幾門?為什么?
Well, quite a lot, including …..
常用的課程名稱:
Common English(普通英語)、Engineering English(輪機英語)、advanced mathematics(高等數(shù)學(xué))、Computer Operations Skills(計算機)、college physics(大學(xué)物理)、physical training and education(體育),military training(軍事理論課)、electrician and electronic technology(電工與電子技術(shù))、hydrodynamics(流體力學(xué))、engineering materials(輪機工程材料)、engineering thermodynamics(工程力學(xué))、engineering automation(輪機自動化)、main engine(主機)、auxiliary engines(輔機)、vessel repair technology(船舶修理技術(shù))、navigational chemistry(航海化學(xué))、mechanical picture making(機械制圖)、vessel structure(船舶結(jié)構(gòu))、vessel signals(船舶信號)、vessel maneuvering(船舶操縱)、vessel cargo transportation theories and practice(船舶貨物運輸)、navigational automation(駕駛自動化)
4.why do you want to be a sailor?
你為什么想當(dāng)一名船員?
這是經(jīng)常會問到的一個問題。可以從三方面回答。一是家庭對自己的影響,有親戚是海員。二是家庭經(jīng)濟(jì)情況的影響,當(dāng)海員是自己最好的選擇。三是當(dāng)海員是自己從小的夢想。
5.How long do you want to be a sailor?
你想做幾年船員?
It is hard to say. But I want to work as long as possible, maybe until I become a chief engineer/master. To work as a chief engineer/master is a long-cherished dream for me.
6. Do you have any hobbies? Which hobby do you like best, why?
你有什么愛好嗎?你最喜歡哪種業(yè)余愛好?為什么?
業(yè)余愛好雖然不是專業(yè)問題,但是考官喜歡通過了解你的業(yè)余愛好來了解你的性格。
I like soccer very much, and I was a member of school soccer team. I also like basketball and music very much.
7. Do you think sailing is a very ideal job for you?
你認(rèn)為海員工作對你來說是個非常理想的工作嗎?
Yes, because I love the job very much. Today, it’s not very easy for the new graduates to get good jobs. Compared with those students specialized in other major, I am lucky because I can get a job much more easily than they.
8. When do you want to get married?
你想什么時候結(jié)婚?
對這個問題大家不要害羞,這對考官了解你的職業(yè)規(guī)劃十分重要,因為有人結(jié)婚后就不再做船上工作。如果沒有明確的規(guī)劃大家可以回答“I have not got a definite idea on this. But I wish to get married after I get on board for 5/6/? years.
9. If you work on board for one year, will you be very home sick?
如果你在船上工作一年的話,你會非常想家嗎?
No, not very. I have stayed away from my parents for several years, so I cannot be very home sick. I think working together with so many officers and engineers must be a fun for me.
在外工作遠(yuǎn)離家人和朋友,有些思鄉(xiāng)之情是情理之中的事情。如果你說你一點都不想念父母朋友或親人,就顯得你可能太不近人情了,或者考官認(rèn)為你在應(yīng)付面試而已。
10. Have you got a girlfriend? If you have, will you miss your girlfriend when you work on board for a whole year?
你有女朋友嗎?如果有,在船上工作一年會不會很想念她。
Yes, I will miss her. But I know that it is not easy for me to get the job and I will work hard for the job. I believe my girlfriend will understand me.
想念女朋友是值得理解的。但是要告訴考官,不會因為太思念家人或女友而影響自己的工作。
11. In your opinion, hew can you get along well with other in the work team?
你認(rèn)為,怎么樣才能在工作團(tuán)隊中和別人友好相處?
Well, I think it is very important to trust others, give other tolerance, be kind to others and try to help other in daily life. Besides, friendship and frankness are also important in daily life. I think I can get along well with other if I work on board because I had very good relationship with my classmates.
這個問題OOCL公司非常喜歡問,考官通常想通過這個來了解一下你是否有團(tuán)隊工作的準(zhǔn)備和精神。大家可以順便提一下讀書的時候和周圍的同學(xué)老師都非常融洽。
12.Please name some types of vessels in the world.
請講講當(dāng)今世界上的主要船舶種類。
General cargo ship, bulk carrier, car carrier, log and timber vessel, oil tanker, chemical tanker, VLCC(very large container carrier) and LPG ship, Container vessel, cruise vessel, passenger vessel, ferry boat, engineering ship and some other purposed vessel.

你在學(xué)校實習(xí)過嗎?如果干過,通過實習(xí),都學(xué)到了哪些技能?你在實習(xí)時和誰一起干的?
由于學(xué)校安排學(xué)生的實習(xí)時間不同。沒實習(xí)過的同學(xué)可以說沒有,但是通過對專業(yè)知識的了結(jié)和老師們的講述,我非常期待實習(xí)。實習(xí)過的同學(xué)萬萬不可以說由于上級沒有安排你做什么有價值的工作,所以什么都沒學(xué)到,你可以結(jié)合三副/三管輪的職責(zé)多多回憶你在船上對海員工作、生活的了解,還可以說由于實習(xí)讓我熱愛這個職業(yè),并期待成為一名真正的海員。
16.Do you know our company? How do you know? What do you know?
你知道我們公司嗎?你怎么知道的?你知道些什么?
在面試前了解你即將面試的公司是非常重要的。但不需要了解的太多,如果在面試結(jié)束后,對公司還想進(jìn)一步的了解,不妨問問你們的面試官,讓他知道你對公司非常感興趣。薪金、晉升時間、未來發(fā)展方向都是可以咨詢的。
