This part consists of 6 aspects, which are work motivation, work position, about your former interview, work expericence, English training, the reason to hire you.
work motivation工作动机
We should avoid to use those theoritical answers, especially those empty talk(空话). We should talk about our own experience.
e.g.
Q: Why do you want to work on cruise?
A1: Because my father works in a ship yard. I was very interested in the ship when I was a little girl. That’s why I want to work on board.
A2: Because I like travelling. I like sea. I like the color blue.
Obvious, A1 is much better. A2 is empty talk.
work position工作岗位
We should be very familiar with the names and duties of posts on a cruise. Attention! As an interviewee, we should not say acronyms(WA, RAS, etc.). We should only say the full name of a post.
WA: waiter assistant
RSA: room service attendant
CLF: faculty cleaner (清洁工)
e.g.
Q: What is RSA?
A: Room service attendant is to provide food service to guests in their staterooms.
about your former interview关于初试
This question is only for those interviewees who have failed in former interviews, and comes to have a second or third interview.
Don't show your inconfidence.We should use some skills, and keep silent about marjor chaeges while admitting minor ones.(运用技巧,避重就轻)
e.g.
Q: Why didn't you pass the first interview?
A1: Because my English is not good enough.
A2: Because I was a little nervous at that time. Now I'm trying my best to relax myself. I feel much better than last time.
work expericence工作经验
if you have work experience (full-time or part-time), show your highlighs(亮点)!
e.g.
Q: Why do you want to work on a cruise ship?
A: Because I worked as a waitress in Dubai for 2 years.
虽然面对该问题没有正面回答,但是强调了自己有英语环境下的相关工作经验,展示了亮点。如果你有亮点,甚至可以诱导面试官去问这段工作经验的问题。比如
Q: How old are you?
A: I'm 25. Two years ago, I celebrated my birthday in Dubai.
Q: why do you apply for Waiter Assistant?
A: Because I worked as a waitress in Dubai for 2 years.
English training 英语培训
This part is for those who have attended English trainings. The question is similiar to English study- related questions
e.g.
Q: What did you learn from the training class?/ How do you practice your English every day?
A: I study English for 8 hours everyday. In the morning, I practice my oral(口头的)English for 4 hours; in the afternoon, I spend 2 hours on English listening and another 2 hours on English activities.
the reason to hire you 雇佣原因
This part often comes at the end of the interview. interviewers should answer the question from their own ablities and personalities.
e.g.
Q: give me one reason why I give you this position.
A: Because I’m helpful. If the guests are in trouble, I will try my best to help them out of the trouble.
