回答示范1: To be honest, the reason I quit is that I am not pleased by my current job. My current work is in a vocational high school. Maybe I have to explain a bit more here. In China, vocational high schools are designed for the less-advanced students or the ones wanting work instead of going to university to further their education. As a result, the social status and the pay in vocational high schools are not at all satisfactory. I can never become a professor in this school. So, although teaching makes me happy, I have to leave this job because I can't have long-term career development here.
点评1: 相当一部分申请人辞职的原因都是为了“长远的职业发展”, 因为在目前的工作中“看不到前途和未来”或者“缺乏挑战和创新”。这些其实都是合理的理由, 但是, 务必要把看不到前途和未来的原因解释清楚, 要让面试官知道, 没有前途不是你个人能力缺乏所致, 而确实是客观因素使然。此外, 在涉及中国特殊现象的时候, 比如职业高中教育, 比如中等专科学校教育等等, 要把具体的情况解释清楚, 否则, 老外绝对不会了解中专教师为什么不像大学教师那么爽。
回答示范2: Mainly for the higher pay. I have been serving as an accountant for this joint venture for nearly 3 years and my salary increased from 1,800 to 2,300, a fair raise actually. In the last two performance evaluations, I got two Bs in a row. I can earn 3,000 only by becoming a director, which is almost impossible because the current one is stable and performs well; he is not likely to leave. But of course, I am not working only for money. Changing jobs is asking for trouble. I am doing so for my career. This position is similar to my current one, and the company is a quite large, suitable one for long-term development. So, here I am.
点评2: 一个中肯的回答, 既诚实地告诉面试官自己似乎为钱而跳槽, 也告诉了他自己在原岗位上没有拿到更高的薪水并非是工作表现不好, 而是受到了公司规章制度的限制。同时, 也强调了自己已经在原单位效忠3年的良好记录。不错!
回答示范3: The former company hasn’t done well in the past 2 years, they have to make some redundancy and our department is lucky enough to be one of them. What a pity.
点评3: 公司裁员很少发生, 不过如果事实如此, 你需要解释出自己被裁减的原因是因为整个部门被关闭, 而不是你个人表现欠佳而被裁减。同时, 展示了一下自己的幽默, 很好。
回答示范4: Frankly speaking, I want to leave the job simply because I’m attracted by the position you offer. Compared with my current employer, Global Market is so much more renowned, offering a secure job and a long-term development. My current employer now offers an okay salary, but the career opportunities here are very limited because the size of business is relatively small. I think you can understand my choice.
点评4: 很真实, 90%的人都是为了“更好的发展”而离职, 不妨实话实说也罢。
回答示范5: I quit the job to study English. In my last job I should use English to communicate with foreigners but frankly speaking, my English wasn’t good enough. I knew I could perform better if my English was better. Finally, after two years of struggling with English, I decided to quit the job and recharge myself. I went to New Oriental School to study English.
