How does Huawei conduct interviews in spoken English?

Interview English is used to assess the English proficiency of the interviewer. A large company like Huawei definitely needs interview English. After all, Huawei serves customers all over the world. Today I want to share with you my friend’s experience of interviewing English at Huawei.

My friend was interviewing for a network engineer position. After the first three rounds of interviews, he probably passed the assessment, and finally came to the interview English test. A friend said that her reputation was ruined by this English test. In a sentence, speak a paragraph in the first 5 seconds, pause for 5 seconds in the middle, and speak a paragraph in the last 5 seconds. Each sentence is also used in different tenses. Sometimes vocabulary is also a flaw!

Interview English assessment process

How to prepare for interview English

1. Interview English assessment process

In the process of interview English assessment, The first round is very simple, that is, five sentences are provided, and then you are asked to read the five sentences one by one; usually they are very simple sentences, and there are about one to two words in each sentence that you do not know. This time it depends on luck. If you are lucky, it will be junior high school difficulty for you, otherwise it will be high school difficulty!

The second type is listening. The multiple-choice questions are all single-choice, and then there are also relatively simple listening questions. For specific situations, please refer to English listening from junior high school to high school. For example, you will hear:

he will never do sth and balabala~~ Then you will be asked in the question, which of the following statements is correct?

he likes to do sth

he don't want to do sth

other interference items are basically lower than Level 4 and lower than the college entrance examination difficulty!

The third type is more of a test of your English speaking skills. You are given a topic, 20 seconds to prepare, and you have to talk for two minutes. Then my friend encountered these two questions:

1. Do you have a favorite movie? Reasons to like this movie?

2. If you graduate from a foreign university, will you choose to return to your country or stay abroad?

Then my friend started talking about it. There was really nothing we could do about it. Forget about writing on the spot, we still had to read it out and pay attention to the logical structure and grammatical tenses! Her state at the time:

I was confused for the first five seconds. And then it started, uh-huh, ah-ah. oh oh. Uh-huh. Repeat the above process some times! ! Then there are various grammatical errors, tense errors, and logical errors. A good topic was turned into an English composition for primary school students.

According to my friend’s experience, in the English interview process, modal words such as um, ah, oh, etc. are the most taboo. Be clear and tell the interviewer that your spoken English is poor.
