Snow: What made you decide to change your job
Peter: I am working in a small company where further promotion4 is impossible, so I decided5 to change my job. Id like to find a job which is more challenging.
Notes：
1. What positions have you held before 就是你以前是做什么工作的。hold a certain position，做某个职位。
2. I can do public relations，可以做公关工作。表示做某种工作，就在do后面加上职位的名称就可以了。
3. How many places have you worked altogether 你以前一共在几个地方工作过也就是问你已经换过几份工作了
4. Would you give me a general description of your present job 你能描述你一下你现在的工作吗也就是想了解一下你现在的工作状况。
5. Ben把自己的工作简单地描述了一下，主要是负责了哪些事情，这是考官最想听到的，不用面面俱到，be in charge of something，负责某事，也可以说be responsible for something.
6. Would you give me a general description of your present job 那你为什么要辞职呢Ben回答说现在的公司没有什么晋升的机会了，他希望找一份更加有挑战性的工作。陈述你辞职的原因的时候，只要说出最主要原因就可以了，千万不要把以前公司的所有缺点意义罗列，特别是不要说以前上司和同事的坏话，这样会给考官留下非常不好的印象。
扩展：面试英语：应聘原因
你为什么要应聘本公司也是面试时一个常常会被问到的问题。这时候，你之前对公司资料的收集就能派上用场了。你可以简单的说一下你对公司的了解，当然，适当的夸一下公司是有好处的，但是不要太过火。我们来看看 Tom 和 Peter 是怎样回答这个问题的吧!
Watson: What made you choose this company
Tom: Your company has a very good reputation, not only because your products are of high quality, but also your due to your well-constructed management system. I want to contribute to such an outstanding company which cares not only about the customer needs, but also about the welfare of employees.
Watson: What do you know about this company
Tom: I know this is one of the biggest trading companies in the world. It was established in London in 1940, with a total of 40 million US dollars. It employs more than 17,000 staff throughout the world.
Watson: Why do you consider yourself qualified1 for the job
Tom: I have the educational background and relevant experience required for the position. Besides, I am a very good team player and have the desire to succeed.
Watson: What interests you most about this job
Tom: I like to work in a team and enjoy solving problems.
Notes：
1. What made you choose this company 你为什么会选择这家公司。make someone do something，让某人做某事。
2. 那 Tom 是怎样回答的呢他说，你们的公司在业内有很好的声誉，不仅你们的产品质量很好，而且你们的管理也很优秀。Earn a good reputation，赢得好名声。Tom在这里把这家公司夸了一通，这是很必要的，因为没有人会来应聘自己不喜欢的公司。即使你对公司不是很了解，也可以说一些套话。但是如果你认为这家公司存在很多问题，面试的时候可不是提出来的好机会，你可以把它们留到上任以后再说。
3. 说完了公司，就应该说说自己的原因了。这是一个向考官陈述你的职业目标的好机会。Tom说他想为既照顾顾客的利益，又兼顾员工的福利的公司工作，其实这还是从另一个角度在夸奖这家公司。考官接着又问，What do you know about this company 你对这家公司了解多少这时候你就可以把自己在面试之前收集整理的信息告诉考官了。这里同样要挑最主要的说，可以在面试之前打好草稿。
4. Why do you consider yourself qualified for the job 你为什么认为自己适合这份工作这时候你就可以把你自己的能力和优点尽量展示出来。这里 Tom 说的是the educational background and relevant experience，相关教育背景和工作经验，I am a very good team player and have the desire to succeed. 我有很强的团队合作精神，并且向往成功。一般来说这几点都是非常重要的，你可以在自己参加面试的时候用。
5. What interests you most about this job 这份工作的哪个方面让你最感兴趣其实，这还是在问你为什么会选择这家公司，Tom回答说是因为喜欢团队合作共同解决问题。你可以根据自己的情况来制定自己的答案。

Notes：
1.Whats your career objective 你的职业目标是什么你的职业规划对公司的发展也很重要，所以考官一般都会问这个问题。回答的时候要根据应聘职位的要求和自己的实际情况来确定自己的职业目标，不要好高骛远，也不要妄自菲薄。
2. What do you consider important when looking for a job 你认为找工作什么是最重要的这就是在问你对工作的要求了，包括工作环境，同事关系等等。这个时候也要注意不要挑三拣四，毛病多多，以至于给人不好相处的坏印象。
3. Why are you interested in working in this company 你为什么会对到这家公司工作感兴趣也就是问你为什么会来应聘这个公司的职位，只不过是换了一个问法。
