有時候面試中招聘者會提問應(yīng)聘者有關(guān)工作目標(biāo)的問題，目的就是了解應(yīng)聘者做事的風(fēng)格，以及應(yīng)聘者對這份工作的看法。當(dāng)然由于應(yīng)聘者還不是很了解自己所應(yīng)聘的工作，在回答問題時并不一定面面俱到，因為在實(shí)際當(dāng)中會碰到自己計劃時所沒有考慮到的問題，所以大致說明自己的計劃目標(biāo)就好了。
CONVERSATIONS
會話
（A=Applicant I=Interviewer）
Dialogue 1
I: Are you a goal-oriented person?
A: Yes, I am. I always make a plan before I do anything.
I: Where do you want to be in 5 years?
A: I don't want to have a specific title. I just want to enjoy what I am
doing.
I: That sounds very reasonable.
A: It's the most important thing to me.
I: If you are hired, how long do you plan to stay with us?
A: That obviously depends on how things go whether I'm suited to the firm and
the firm to me.
I: Tell me about some of your recent goals and what you do to achieve them.
A: I want to put my knowledge and experience to use in a challenging
position. In order to achieve this goal, I just want to work step by step.
I: What is your long-range objective?
A: I haven't thought it over at all.
I: What do you think is the most important thing when looking for a job?
A: I think the most important thing is the interest in the job.
Dialogue 2

organizational and planning skills in the future.

A: I do believe this industry will be developed rapidly in 5 years time.
Dialogue 3
I: How long do you plan to stay here?
A: To speak frankly, it doesn't depend on me.
I: How so?
A: I really want to obtain a permanent job. I won't leave as long as I have
opportunity to apply my knowledge and get on well with my superiors and
colleagues.
I: What's your future plans and what kind of expectations do you have of the
company?
A: I know that generally it is possible to move from this position to a
management position with two years experience in the company and I would look
forward to having the responsibility for training and supervising new members of
staff.
I: What is your typical workday like at your present job?
A: I arrive at 8 o'clock every morning, and I make a list of things I must do
that day.
I: What then?
A: Then I start work on my list.
在回答"How long will you stay with
us?"這個問題時，特別要注意，不要用明確的時間概念來回答"我將在貴公司呆多久"。因為不管怎樣回答，都會招致主考官進(jìn)一步詢問"為什么？"所以最保險的回答方式就是"How
long I will stay with the company depends on whether the company and I are
satisfied with each other."
