영어 면접의 모든것!!!

 

 

 

영어 면접시 유의사항

1. 감사, 양해의 표현을 아끼지 않는다.

   서양 사람들은 상대방이 자신에게 베푼 호의나 친절에 대해 항상 감사 또는 감탄의 반응을 나타낸다. 그러한 예절을 의식하여 우리에게는 별로 대수롭지 않게 여겨질 수 있는 작은 호의라 할지라도 반드시 고맙다는 표현을 해야 한다. 사소한 자신의 잘못에 대해서도 그에 대한 자신의 미안함을 나타내는 표현을 반드시 잊지 않아야 한다.

   ※ 상대방의 호의에 대하여

   - Thank you so much.
   - How nice/kind of you to say so!

   ※ 상대방에게 미리 자신의 양해를 구할 때

   - Excuse me.
   - May I ask…?
   - I am sorry.

   ※ 상대방의 'Thank you'에 대한 응답으로

   - You're welcome.
   - Don't mention it.
   - Not at all.
   - It's nothing at all.

2. 정중한 영어로 답변한다. /Slang의 사용을 삼간다.

   질문에 대한 답은 Yes 또는 No로 답하는 것보다 < Yes, I do/ No, I'm not >의 형식으로 하 는 것이 더 공손한 표현이다.

   그리고 < What would you do if…? > 식의 물음에는 사용된 조동사를 그대로 사용하여 < I would… >로 답을 시작해야 한다. 부정적으로 답할 때에는 < I am afraid I don't know > 또는 < I am afraid not >으로 대답한다.

   Slang은 우리말로 '속어'를 뜻하는데 면접시에는 이런 말을 사용하지 말아야 한다. 외국어를 구사하려고 노력하다보면 Slang에 대한 감각없이 이를 그냥 사용해 버릴 수가 있으므로 영어 회화를 배우는 초기부터 Slang은 조심스럽게 사용하는 습관을 기르도록 한다.

3. 구체적으로 대답한다.

   미국인들에게 "너희 아버지 직업이 무엇이니?" 라고 물으면 상당히 구체적으로 답변한다. 우 리들은 보통 '농사짓고 계신다(My father is a farmer)'라는 식으로 대답하기 마련이지만 그들의 식으로 대답을 해주려면 매우 구체적으로 설명이 되어야 한다.

   예를 들어 How is your typing?(타자는 어느 정도입니까?)라고 물으면, < I can type 100 words a minute >의 식으로 구체적으로 대답하도록 한다.

   Q) Would you be able to start working right away?
   A) No. I would be available after 25th of this month.
   Q) How long does it take to arrive at this office from your home?
   A) It takes around one hour by subway.

4. 질문을 알아듣지 못한 경우 다시 묻는 것을 두려워하지 않는다.

   '다시 말씀해 주시겠어요?'라는 표현에는 다음과 같은 것들이 사용될 수 있다.

   I beg your pardon, sir(ma'am)!
   Pardon me!
   Excuse me!
   I am sorry I could't follow you.
   I am afraid I didn't understand your question.
   Would you mind saying it againg, sir(ma'am)?
   I'm sorry I couldn't catch what you said.
   Would you say that again, sir(ma'am)?

   또한 면접 도중에 질문이 생기는 경우에도 묻는 것을 너무 두려워하지 말라.

5. 상대방의 말에 맞장구를 친다.

   외국인들은 대화할 때 상대방의 말에 맞장구를 잘 친다. 우리말의 '아', '네', '그렇지요' 와 같 은 표현들로서 상대방의 말을 충분히 이해를 하고 동감을 하고 있음을 나타냄으로써 대화의 분 위기가 호의적이고 부드럽게 이어져가도록 한다. 다음에 소개되는 말들은 주로 이와 같은 역할 을 하는 것들이다.

   That's right.(그렇고 말구요)
   I think so.(그렇고 말구요)
   I see, Is that so right.(그러세요?)
   I understand that.(그러세요?)
   That would be interesting!(재미있군요)
   How exciting!(신나는데요!)
   I believe so.(그렇겠지요)
   That's encouraging.(고무적이군요)
   Marvelous! or Wonderful!(야! 멋있습니다)
   Unbelievable!(믿기지 않는데요)
   Impossible?(정말입니까?)
   That's only natural.(당연하지요)
   That's the way it goes.(그렇게 되는군요)

6. 부정 의문문에서 Yes/No의 사용에 유의한다.

   우리나라 사람들이 영어에서 가장 틀리기 쉬운 것이 부정 의문문일 경우의 [Yes]와 [No]의 용법인데 그것은 우리말과 정반대이기 때문이다.만약 외국인이 응시자의 취미를 알아보려고 < Don't you like basketball? >이라고 했을 때, 좋아하면 'Yes, I do'(아니오, 좋아합니다) 싫어하면 'No, I don't'(예, 싫어합니다)라고 대답한다. 즉 Yes는 항상 긍정문과 함께 쓰이므로 부정어가 수반될 수 없으며 No는 뒤에서 항상 부정어가 수반된다고 생각하면 된다.

   Q) Don't you smoke?
   A) Yes, I do(담배를 피웁니다)/ No, I don't(담배를 피우지 않습니다)
