這樣答讓面試官想錄取你！
100 個甄試・留學・就業
必備題 & 情境題攻略
說出制勝關鍵，成為萬中選一！
【本書特色】
● 面面俱到，搞定口面試！
1. 面試官最在意的事
▶ 面試要成功，千萬不能只想到你自己。回答時應將教授／雇主的需求看得比個人的需求更重要，告知自己能提供什麼樣的貢獻，才有機會脫穎而出。
2. 線上面試應答訣竅
▶ 聚焦於日益普及的線上面試，筆者整理了十大線上面試策略（當然有些要點也適用於實體面試），讓應試者在面對面或虛擬環境中都能展現最佳狀態。
3. 團體面試勝出策略
▶ 面試官透過團體面試可更真實地瞭解到應試者在團體中的表現，因為應答時的言行舉止可反映出其與他人合作時的樣貌。
4. 影音履歷製作技巧
▶ 在科技發達的現代，自我行銷的工具不再侷限於文字。本節介紹的即是新式履歷「影音履歷 (Video CV)」。如果運用得當，影音履歷有助於更明確地展示申請者／應徵者的個性、創造力和熱情。
5. 面試前與當天的贏戰叮嚀
▶ 包括面試前、面試當日的重要提醒。
6. 面試時該做與不該做的事
▶ 面試過程中有利於加分、易導致扣分的行為一定要先知道。
● 聰明接招，過關斬將！
面試實境必問的四大類型：
除了基本的「自我介紹」、「優缺點自評」之外，「申請動機」也是十分常見的問題。
[例] What draws you to the graduate program / position to which you’ve applied?
是什麼因素促使你申請本研究所專班／職缺的？
二、關於過去求學與工作的問題：表現／經驗
常見的問題包括「大學亮點」、「課外活動」等，另外下面這個問題也是必問題之一。
[例] What accomplishment are you most proud of?
你最引以為豪的成就是什麼？
三、關於未來求學與工作的問題：發展／期望
作為一個準研究生，不應對自己想研究的領域或興趣毫無概念，而只等著教授給建議。因此，準備口面試時應設定好想研究的主題或至少有個方向。
[例] What are your research interests?
你的研究計劃為何？
四、情境假設與機智問題
此類問題的提問率也很高，面試官主要想探詢應試者是否有關心相關科系／產業的時事趨勢。比如對網紅、AI 科技等的看法，好好回答很可能都是令面試官驚艷的制勝關鍵。
[例] Do you think human jobs will be replaced by AI/robots in ten years?
你認為人類的工作在十年後會被人工智慧／機器人取代嗎？
● 面試心法助攻，錄取在望！
產・學界資歷兼備的作者提點應答策略，面試官提問的用意是什麼？怎麼答既能避雷又能增加好感？靈活應戰看這邊！以此題 “Do you consider yourself a leader or a follower?”（為例，此題並不限於當領導者就是最佳答案，或是當追隨者就不好。假如對你而言，做一個追隨者也無妨，反而可答覆『有明確目標與步驟辦起事來更有效率』。」
● 附錄：智取面試延伸補給
內含幫助侃侃而談的一系列詞彙組、句型組、影音履歷腳本範例等，收藏起來當事前準備時便可派上用場，節省許多時間。
