面試英語口語第4期:教育背景

剛踏出校門的年輕人，由於尚無實際工作經驗，面試者也無從詢問有關“工作”本身的專業性問題，但是他可以藉由你所讀學校、所選修的課程、在課業上的表現、以及所參加的社團活動等方面，來判斷你是否具備做好這份工作的潛力與能力。回答這類問題，正是你進行“自我推銷”的大好時機，一定要好好把握哦。在回答提問時要注意投其所好，比如對方問你“What course do you like best?”，這時你最好回答和所應聘公司相關的科目，這會讓他留下你很有潛力的印象。

注意幾個關鍵詞：degree（學位）、department（系）、subject（科目）、major（主修）、minor（輔修）、scholarship（獎學金）、honor（榮譽）、award（獎勵）。
