[资源] 欧洲老外boss面试经历。。。流水帐,大家将就着看吧已有3人参与

趁着5.1假期拖了好久想写的电话面试经历。本来想给多点具体信息各位虫友,没想到就写成流水帐了,大家将就着看吧。

首先说说面试前的情况
1月下旬,当时已经投了70多封到米国,有25%的回复,绝大多数都说没钱位,仅有的几个要了推荐信的也是没有进一步动作。思前想后打算试试欧洲有没有机会。然后陆续投了10几封到英国德国法国和瑞士的老板们。过了两个星期之后 (2月下旬),现在面试的这位boss回信说“Thank you for your enquiry about post-doctoral research. At present I do not have any open positions at (英国某校). Are you eligible to apply for any scholarships for post-doctoral study?”

因为这个老板是我投同一个系另一个boss时顺便看到的,也没多了解其background。马上用google查,发现原来这位boss在德国还有lab,于是我回了封信说要不我和你申红包or居里?
没想到这boss立马就回我said,好啊,不过你究竟想去英国还是德国呢?
我心想“kao”,你都说英国没open posistion咯 当然去德国啦。而且本人也对德国比较向往。于是就立马跟boss说“德国”。

又过了两天,这回轮到boss的secretary来信了
“thank you very much for your application for a postdoctoral position in the group of Prof. Dr. XX.Prof. XX would like to give you the opportunity to explain your interest in a position in her group in more detail at the phone. Would you be available for a phone interview this Friday, 8 March at 9:00 AM (London time = GMT)? ”

当时候都Wednesday了,我想这boss不是想搞我个措手不及吧,于是我使出缓兵之计,回到说“这周有事没空,要不下周?”

secretary立马回我“thank you very much for your prompt reply. I understand that you are not available this week. I need to get contact to some colleagues first if there is a time slot available next week. I will get back to you soon with a suggestion. Please be patient.”
然后一天之后“thank you for your patience. My new suggestion for a phone interview with Prof. Dr. xx is Tuesday, 12 March 10:00 AM in Germany (GMT+1).

还有5天足够我好好准备面试咯,就一口答应咯。


步入正题
这里要感谢各位虫友分享的面经,根据虫友的经验我准备了以下7个。
1. Simply introduce myself.
2. Tell your doctoral work?
3. Tell one work that I most satisfied with.
4. Several question about the details of work.
5. Describe the future plan. / What are your long term career goals?
6. What is it that you are hoping to learn in my laboratory?
7. Which project do I most like
同时根据boss的情况准备了几个小问题。


星期二,下午5点05分,电话来了。
寒碜了几句后就开始入正题:
1. why do you want to come here?
2. what do you like within our researches?
3. Introduce your experiments (以下若干个小问题, 为什么要做这个;你的这个文章投

稿没等等)
4. What is your favorvite paper of ours? Why?
5. Why choose postdoc abroad? Did you attended conferences abroad?
6. Your questiones.
(我就问了你研究的课题;如果我到你们lab的话如何分配工作;我过去的话要准备啥?等等)

这几个问题聊得boss都笑了几次,我看反应是应该ok了。然后大概聊了总共半个小时。say good bye。

面完下来感觉面试良好,想了一下除了准备充足外,boss 讲的一口非常纯正的英国音和略慢的语速也使得我基本能catch到point。
于是放心吃完晚饭后,就回复boss说
“Thank you for your calling. You are so nice, and I was very happy to talk with you. I am going to prepare for the fellowship application. Which fellowship (Humboldt Foundation or Marie Curie) is more suitable to me? Personally, I prefer to Humboldt fellowship.”

boss也是立马回复“Good tohear from you. I think the Humboldt is fine, but I would apply for more than one fellowship - they are qutie competitive. We have someone in the Institute who can help with this, so when you hve a first draft of your applications, let me have them and I will look at them and also show them to my colleague for advice.”

然后就写到这了,现在正在努力红包计划的修改中。。。

你的英文中有许多语法错误,写正式申请时,一个标点符号都不能错。切记。

谢谢提醒! 现在正在恶补英文
