1. why? questions like "why did you close down your parts business rather than try to find a buyer for it?" or "why did you decide to move to a product-based organization structure?" — which it sounds as if you're already asking — not only show you've done your homework on the company and put some thought into it, but are open-ended enough to spark an interesting conversation. as a rule, sobel advises avoiding any question someone could answer with a "yes" or "no."

1. 為什么?比如“你們?yōu)槭裁催x擇關(guān)停零配件業(yè)務(wù)，而不是嘗試將它出售?”或者“你們?yōu)槭裁礇Q定向以產(chǎn)品為導(dǎo)向的組織結(jié)構(gòu)轉(zhuǎn)變?”你應(yīng)該已經(jīng)提過(guò)這種問(wèn)題。這不僅能展示你對(duì)公司情況作了功課并進(jìn)行了思考，而且說(shuō)明你是以相當(dāng)開(kāi)放的姿態(tài)來(lái)進(jìn)行一次饒有趣味的探討。索貝爾建議，要避免提出別人可能只回答“是”或“不是”的問(wèn)題，這已是經(jīng)驗(yàn)法之談。

2. what has been your experience here? without asking anything intrusive, you want to form a connection based on some understanding of the interviewer's situation.

2. 詢(xún)問(wèn)面試官本人在該公司的工作感受。 你希望了解面試官的一些背景情況，從而與其建立良好關(guān)系，但請(qǐng)勿讓對(duì)方感到被冒犯。

sobel recommends something like, "i understand you joined the company five years ago. with all the growth you've had, how do you find the experience of working here now compared to when you started?" or try: "what do you like most about working here?"

索貝爾建議，可以這樣問(wèn)，比如“我知道您五年前就已經(jīng)進(jìn)入現(xiàn)在這家公司。在此期間，公司取得了長(zhǎng)足的發(fā)展。您認(rèn)為，跟您剛開(kāi)始時(shí)相比，現(xiàn)在的工作體驗(yàn)跟當(dāng)初比起來(lái)怎么樣?” 或者你也可以問(wèn)：“在這里工作，您最喜歡的是什么地方?”

3. show your value. in the interest of making the discussion a two-way street, think about mentioning a technique or process you've learned from your current job that a prospective employer might benefit from adopting. obviously, with this approach, you have to be careful not to reveal proprietary information or give away any secrets.

3. 展示自身價(jià)值。 為了創(chuàng)造一種雙向的談話模式，可以考慮在面試中提及你在目前工作中學(xué)到的. 可能對(duì)未來(lái)的雇主有益的技術(shù)或流程。顯然，采用這種方法的時(shí)候必須謹(jǐn)慎，以免泄露專(zhuān)利信息或者其他機(jī)密。

4. focus on the future. ask something like, "you've achieved large productivity gains in the past three years. where do you believe future operational improvements will come from?" or "looking ahead to the next couple of years, what are the potential growth areas that people in the company are most excited about?" not incidentally, the answers could give you a sense of where your own career path could lead if you get hired.
