1. So, tell me a little about yourself. Tell me about yourself/ How would you describe yourself?
I’m going to graduate as a PHD of mechanical engineering and automation. I’m skilled at machining and machine design and some related softwares, I have worked on two important projects as a key participant; one is “research on the 7-axis electrochemical machine and experiments of blisk in electrochemical machining”,It is supported by the 863 national key project; the other is “research on the precision electrochemical micro-machining”. I learned a lot from this experience and appreciate it very much. I’m a good problem-solver, I’m willing to learn and cooperate with others anytime. Thank you.
2. Tell me what you know about this company.
GE is the world’s largest cross-industry enterprise of technology, manufacturing and service. She engaged in solving the most difficult problems in the world. As early as 1906, GE began to develop trade with China and was one of the most active and influential foreign companies at that time. GE has a wide range of products and service. Plane engine is one of them, Nearly 1,200 GE aircraft engines are used in China's 550 planes. More than 300 steam, gas turbine, wind and hydropower turbines are working in China. GE has customers in more than 100 countries. GE is very famous and successful; it’s one of the world’s top 500. Jeff Immelt杰夫·伊梅尔特is the successor of GE at present. There is a saying in GE, that is, “Let the right person do the right work is more important than developing a new strategy”. I believe I’m the right person; I hope I will have the chance to contribute for GE. Thank you.
3. Why do you want to work at X Company?
To contribute for a company like GE is always my dream. And my major is closely related with plane engines and some other machining products in GE. I want to grow with GE and contribute for her with my skills, experience and my major advantage. I like GE’s sayings and the company culture; I believe my dream of being a successful technology researcher can be realized here. Just like GE, doing the work best is always my pursuit. GE is suitable to me, and I’m also the right person for her. Therefore, I choose her.
4. Have you done anything to further your experience?
Yes. I often play basketball and Ping-Pong in my spare time to relax myself and build up a healthier body. Because people can do their work better if they are strong and energetic enough. I also read some books and learn some softwares that are helpful to my current work in my spare time in order that my work can be improved constantly.
5. Where else have you applied?
A research institution and a university want me to work for them. (不要具体说明). But I haven’t accepted yet because GE is more suitable for me, I want to work here.
6. How are you when you’re working under pressure?
I’m diligent and optimistic, always positive towards pressure. My strategy to deal with the pressure is to work harder. Sometimes pressure is necessary because it can make people work better.
7. What motivates you to do a good job?
I want recognition for a job well done and want to become better and better at my job so that I can be a leader in my field in the future, which can give me a sense of achievement. I like that feeling.
8. What’s your greatest strength?
I’m a person who thrives under pressure, a great motivator. I’m also a good problem-solver. The world’s best problem-solving company like GE needs good problem-solvers.
9. What’s your biggest weakness?
If you’re completely honest, you may be kicking yourself in the butt. If you say you don’t have one, you’re obviously lying. This is a horrible question and one that politicians have become masters at answering. They say things like “I’m perhaps too committed to my work and don’t spend enough time with my family.” Oh, there’s a fireable offense. I’ve even heard “I think I’m too good at my job, it can often make people jealous.” Please, let’s keep our feet on the ground. If you’re asked this question, give a small, work-related flaw that you’re working hard to improve. Example: “I’ve been told I occasionally focus on details and miss the bigger picture, so I’ve been spending time laying out the complete project every day to see my overall progress.”
10. Let’s talk about salary. What are you looking for?
Run for cover! This is one tricky game to play in an interview. Even if you know the salary range for the job, if you answer first you’re already showing all your cards. You want as much as possible, the employer wants you for as little as you’re willing to take. Before you apply, take a look at salary.com for a good idea of what someone with your specific experience should be paid. You may want to say, “well, that’s something I’ve thought long and hard about and I think someone with my experience should get between X & Y.” Or, you could be sly and say, “right now, I’m more interested in talking more about what the position can offer my career.” That could at least buy you a little time to scope out the situation. But if you do have a specific figure in mind and you are confident that you can get it, I’d say go for it. I have on many occasions, and every time I got very close to that figure (both below and sometimes above).
11. Are you good at working in a team?
Unless you have the I.Q. of a houseplant, you’ll always answer YES to this one. It’s the only answer. How can anyone function inside an organization if they are a loner? You may want to mention what part you like to play in a team though; it’s a great chance to explain that you’re a natural leader.
12. Tell me a suggestion you have made that was implemented.
It’s important here to focus on the word “implemented.” There’s nothing wrong with having a thousand great ideas, but if the only place they live is on your notepad what’s the point? Better still, you need a good ending. If your previous company took your advice and ended up going bankrupt, that’s not such a great example either. Be prepared with a story about an idea of yours that was taken from idea to implementation, and considered successful.
13. Has anything ever irritated you about people you’ve worked with?
Of course, you have a list as long as your arm. But you can’t say that, it shows you negative and difficult to work with. The best way to answer this one is to think for a while and then say something like “I’ve always got on just fine with my co-workers actually.”
Use this question as a chance to show that you are a team player: “The only people I have trouble with are those who aren’t team players, who just don’t perform, who complain constantly, and who fail to respond to any efforts to motivate them.” The interviewer is expecting a response focused on personality and personal dislikes. Surprise her by delivering an answer that reflects company values.
14. Would you rather work for money or job satisfaction? It’s not a very fair question is it?
We’d all love to get paid a Trump-like salary doing a job we love but that’s rare indeed. It’s fine to say money is important, but remember that NOTHING is more important to you than the job. Otherwise, you’re just someone looking for a bigger paycheck.
15. Would you rather be liked or feared?
I have been asked this a lot, in various incarnations. The first time I just drew a blank and said, “I don’t know.” That went over badly, but it was right at the start of my career when I had little to no experience. Since then I’ve realized that my genuine answer is “Neither, I’d rather be respected.” You don’t want to be feared because fear is no way to motivate a team. You may got the job done but at what cost? Similarly, if you’re everyone’best friend you’ll find it difficult to make tough decisions or hit deadlines. But when you’re respected, you don’t have to be a complete bastard or a lame duck to get the job done.
16. Are you willing to put the interests of X Company ahead of your own?
Again, another nasty question. If you say yes, you’re a corporate whore who doesn’t care about family. If you say no, you’re disloyal to the company. I’m afraid that you’ll probably have to say yes to this one though, because you’re trying to be the perfect employee at this point, and perfect employees don’t cut out early for Jimmy’ game. it is situational. if you… ; if you …. Ethics and professionalism17. So, explain why I should hire you.
As I’m sure you know, “because I’m great” or “I really need a job” are not good answers here. This is a time to give the employer a laundry list of your greatest talents that just so happen to match the job description. It’s also good to avoid taking potshots at other potential candidates here. Focus on yourself and your talents, not other people’s flaws.
17. Finally, do you have any questions to ask me?
I’ll finish the way I started, with one of the most common questions asked in interviews. This directly relates to the research you’ve done on the company and also gives you a chance to show how eager and prepared you are. You’ll probably want to ask about benefits if they haven’t been covered already. A good generic one is “how soon could I start, if I were offered the job of course.” You may also ask what you’d be working on. Specifically, in the role you’re applying for and how that affects the rest of the company. Always have questions ready, greeting this one with a blank stare is a rotten way to finish your interview. Good luck and happy job hunting. ponder for a moment, and then ask your interviewer “what aspect of your job do you find most challenging”. I would ask the interviewer, “Why do you like to work here?”
18. Where do you want to be in 5 to years?
They dont want to hear in the same job you are interviewing for. Ultimately, the HR people are searching for someone who can handle the job now, and has the potential to grow into a high level management job in the future. Do you have those goals too?
19. Would you rather work for a big company or a small one?
Favorite answer: I’d treat any company like it was my own regardless. Total ownership of the situation can get you a long way. General , the worst answer was “I don’t know.” I’ve since learned that “it depends,” with a couple of examples, is perfectly appropriate
