What preparations do foreign trade salesmen need to make before the interview?

Foreign trade is an industry that needs to deal with foreigners. You are required to be proficient in English listening, speaking, reading and writing. You need not worry too much. In fact, foreign trade is not particularly demanding of English, but it is not completely unnecessary. In the interview, you need to understand that HR doesn't care about your personal privacy, but the interviewer cares about your business ability and professional experience, in other words, whether you are qualified for this position.

Therefore, we might as well refer to the following two examples to introduce ourselves:

Hello, everyone. My name is xxx. I graduated from xxxx, majoring in business English in university of international business and economics. During my school days, I worked as an intern in XX Foreign Trade Company for three months. During my internship, my main responsibility is to provide after-sales service for customers.

Hello, guys. My name is Kate. I graduated with a master's degree in business English. After that, I worked as an automobile engineer for three years. My responsibilities include project meeting with foreign experts, engineering tabulation, product project management and control, etc. I find that I like doing business with foreigners very much, so I hope to make a breakthrough in the foreign trade industry.

Telling the interviewer about your hobbies in the interview is a very good way to introduce yourself. It can not only give the interviewer a preliminary understanding of your personality, but also quickly narrow the distance between you and the interviewer if your hobbies are the same as the interviewer's. We can briefly introduce our hobbies in one or two sentences:

As for me, I like listening to music, reading and shopping, watching news and playing games online, and going to the gym to exercise in my spare time.

In my spare time, I like watching American dramas. I can not only relax myself, but also learn some idiomatic English expressions.

I like playing the piano. After work, I often play my favorite songs to relax.

4. I like reading. I have been reading some books related to foreign trade recently, hoping to gain some experience and skills from them.

I like sports, and it is a great pleasure for me to keep healthy through sports. I also like volleyball and basketball. Although I am a girl, I am still fascinated by these sports.

The night before the interview, we can write a self-introduction draft to recite in advance, but we should try our best to avoid giving people the feeling of "reciting according to the draft", such as repeating the last sentence when we can't remember the next sentence, remembering it while memorizing it, and speaking too fast. Although the interviewer also knows that everyone involved in the interview must be prepared in private, the interview is a kind of communication, and no one likes to hear the other person recite the ready-made answers when communicating with others. We can reduce this "reciting feeling" by the following methods:

1. Speak at a moderate speed and pronounce important words clearly;

2. When forgetting words, you can add some conjunctions, such as "hmm", "you know" and "I mean ……", but remember not to overdo it;

3. You can practice in front of the mirror at ordinary times, and look straight ahead as if you are communicating with each other;

4. Interview friends, or imitate the gestures and expressions of the people in the play by watching English dramas and American dramas;

If your English is good enough, you can only frame and supplement the draft in the interview according to the specific situation.

If you can do the above parts, then you have already succeeded in half-and the other half needs attention, that is, politeness when introducing yourself. Good manners can greatly improve the interviewer's impression score, and even make up for the defects of pronunciation and content to some extent (but the grammar should be as correct as possible). Here, we need to pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Keep smiling and show confidence;

2. Say hello in formal terms such as "Hello" and "Nice to meet you" instead of words used in informal occasions such as "Hello" and "Hello";

3. Dress appropriately, and don't hunch over whether standing or sitting;

At the end of self-introduction, you can say "Thank you for listening." "That's all I have to say, thank you." And so on, express gratitude and say "the speech is over"

Here are some questions that HR often asks:

It is very important to be stable in sales. This is also an important point that HR will consider. So you will generally be asked what your career plan is for the next two or three years. Answer this question, don't be too sincere, let alone directly say that you want to be promoted to be a foreign trade manager or something. If the person interviewing you happens to be a foreign trade executive, it is estimated that you have been Pass, and no one will want to recruit someone who wants to take their place.

Generally, a better answer is that the purpose of my job search is to finish it for more than two years. I also know that accumulation takes time. If I join the company, I won't change jobs easily. Changing jobs frequently is not good for me.

Answer the reason why you left your last job. This question, don't spit out all kinds of bad things of the former company. In fact, if you spit, the interviewer will only think that you are not good. If you leave your job one day, you will spit. It is harmful to spit out this shortcoming. Simply answer because of personal reasons or want to seek a new challenge, change a new industry and so on.

Many HR will ask you about your salary requirements? Some companies usually set a budget in advance for the positions they apply for, so their first job is often the highest price they can offer. They only ask you to confirm whether the money is enough to arouse your interest in the job.

We can answer like this: I have no rigid requirements on salary, and I believe your company will handle my problem in a friendly and reasonable way. I pay attention to finding suitable job opportunities, so as long as the conditions are fair, I won't care too much; I have received systematic foreign trade business training, and I don't need much training. I am particularly interested in foreign trade business. So I hope the company can give me a reasonable salary according to my situation and the level of market standards.

Why do you want to work in our company? You should be extra careful about this problem. If you study the company, you can answer some detailed reasons, such as "your company has been developing steadily in recent years and is very competitive in the market." "I think your company can provide me with a unique development path."

If you are hired, when will you be free? Most enterprises will care about the entry time, and it is best to answer "If you are hired, you can go to work according to the entry date stipulated by the company". However, if you haven't resigned from your last job, and the entry time is too close, it seems a bit overwhelming, because the handover will take at least one month, and the reasons should be further explained, and the admission company should be flexible.

I hope all my friends can find ideal jobs.
