英文自我介紹與中文自我介紹的考慮因素有一點不同,主要在于面試官的身份。
# 如果面試官是中國人,要求你用英文做自我介紹,那么其意圖主要是考察你的英語水平,了解你的英語發音和流利程度。所以,在準備英文自我介紹的時候,要著重表現自己的英語水平,一定要重視發音、語法及流利表達。
# 如果面試官是外國人,那么要求你用英文自我介紹的目的就不再是考察英語水平,而是要聆聽自我介紹的細節,并根據你提供的細節來進行下一步的提問。所以,在面對外國面試官做自我介紹時,一定要在你希望面試官提問的地方放慢語速,或者用語氣的變化來強調。另外,由于不同的外國面試官對于中國的了解程度不同,有些面試官對于中國的諸如人名、地名、學校名、公司名不一定了解,所以在自我介紹中提到這類詞匯時,一定要放慢語速或者做簡要解釋。
那么面試官一般喜歡具備什么特點的英文自我介紹呢?
01 表達句式盡量使用口語化的短句,易于面試官聽懂;
02 在表達過程中語速要慢,比中文自我介紹速度要放慢至少三分之一,易于面試官放松地傾聽;
03 需要面試官重點傾聽的地方會使用語調和語氣加以強調,使面試官特別注意你所表達的內容。
從自我介紹的時間上來說,在面對中國面試官做自我介紹的時候可以簡短一些,正常朗讀時間在1分鐘到1.5分鐘之間,因為簡短的自我介紹更能讓中國面試官記住你說的話。
而在面對外國面試官的英文自我介紹,時間則可以稍微長一點,以正常朗讀時間1.5分鐘到2分鐘為宜,因為這期間你可能需要額外做一些關于人名或地名的解釋。

自我介紹原文:
My English name is Jessie, J-E-S-S-I-E, I wonder if there are already other Jessies in Coca-Cola, because it is a very popular name with Chinese girls, hehe.
I will graduate from China Agricultural University in June 2009, but my major is economics, not related to agriculture. I like my major a lot so I’ve got a very good academic performance. My GPA ranks number 3 in the class of 60 students. Besides studying, I interned at a couple of companies.
You may have noticed that I worked for Coca Cola as a part-time promotion assistant. I was then working in Campus Supermarket to promote the drink “Cool”, or Ku-er in Chinese. It was a very tiring job, because I had to wear the heavy costume of a bear for eight hours a day and jump around to attract the attention of children. But I did it quite well.
As a graduate from an agriculture university I have natural interest in Coca-Cola.Besides interest, I am sure I have the potential to be a great sales management trainee, and I have the necessary qualities of a good sales management trainee, you know, communications skills, passion, not afraid of being rejected and so on. These abilities have been proven in my part-time jobs. I wish I could use them to sell my favorite Coca-Cola products to more and more people! Thank you.
點評:在介紹自己英文名字的時候與面試官有了一個互動,開啟了一個良好的自我介紹開端。由于在實習經歷中,曾經做過可口可樂公司的產品促銷,所以向面試官介紹這段經歷,也許會引起面試官好感或共鳴。最后圍繞銷售的職業特質,簡要說明自己符合該職位。如果你有過在應聘公司或者其競爭對手公司實習、兼職的經歷,建議在自我介紹中向面試官重點展示。
