8大常見英文面試問題&回應小技巧
1.Why did you leave your last job?
當被問到為什麼離開上一份工作,千萬不要說謊,但可以選擇性表達。

2. How do you deal with high pressure situations?
3. Are you a team-player?

5. What are your weaknesses and strengths?
舉例 (weaknesses)︰My weakness is that although I am applying for an HR position, I do not major in HR.
