字號:

性格和興趣能在面試的時(shí)候給你的面試官留下好的印象,為什么不努力來說好呢?今天我們就一起來學(xué)習(xí)面試英語的后一講:如何表達(dá)自己的性格和興趣愛好。下面先來看一段對話吧:
    A:Do you have any hobbies? What is it or what are they?
    B:I am interested in watching TV or other relaxing games.
    A:How do you spend your spare time?
    B:I usually read or so some sports.
    A:What kind of book are you interested in?
    B:My favorite books are those about detectives.
    A:Well, those books are really good. I like them too. Do you think you are introverted or extroverted?
    B:In fact, I wouldn't call myself extroverted. Sometime I enjoy being by myself very much. But other times, I like sharing activities with others too, especially during these last few years.
    A:What kind of sports do you like?
    B:I like almost all sports, and I enjoy both playing and watching. I especially like tennis and mountain climbing.
    A:What kind of personality do you think you have?
    B:Well, I approach things very enthusiastically, I think, and I don't like to leave anything half-done. It makes me nervous- I can't concentrate on anything else until the first thing is finished.

    還有很多詞就要靠大家自己去掌握了。接著我們來說明一下在簡歷中或者面試時(shí)介紹自己的性格和興趣愛好的好處:
    Background:
    個(gè)人的興趣愛好其實(shí)主要體現(xiàn)在業(yè)余活動上,對于剛?cè)肷鐣膶W(xué)生來說,業(yè)余活動主要就是課外活動。
    課外活動包括社會活動和業(yè)余愛好。
    豐富多彩的課外活動表示你希望豐富自己的社會經(jīng)驗(yàn),發(fā)揮多方面的才能。通過你所參加的課外活動,可以看出你的交際能力、價(jià)格修養(yǎng)、成熟程度和健康狀況。比如說你當(dāng)學(xué)生會主席的經(jīng)歷能夠表明你人緣好、善處人際關(guān)系、有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能等。
    因此,如果你曾參加什么課外活動,就如實(shí)寫出來。這些活動可以幫助雇主了解你,成為有利的條件。課外活動對于剛剛走出校門的朋友來說,是找工作時(shí)的一個(gè)相當(dāng)重要的條件。
