面試國外工程師超詳細超過 100 道題目蒐集、分類歸納與準備
這邊是擷取文章中片段，主要專注於 Behavior Question 題目的蒐集、分類及面試官想知道的事。
網路上 google 搜集好題目後，把題目按照不同類型分類， 這樣你在回答的時候，可以知道某種情況的問題大致是可以回答哪一種答案
以下是我個人針對搜集的題型所做的分類 :
你也可以建立專屬於你自己的分類
一、Behavior Questions
【必問題】
不論你去哪面試通常都會問的問題，這種一定要準備到非常流暢
1. What do you know about our company?
What They Want to Know 看面試者是否對於公司或這個職位有基礎上的了解，他們希望找的人對公司是有熱誠的，不是隨便海投的。
他們同時也是在看你是不是個會自行搜尋、查找與整理資料的人，希望應徵的人是知道怎麼問出個好問題，具有好奇心，且知道如何找到答案，這樣可以稍微了解你在工作遇到 task 是怎麼去面對的。
Tips 在搜集公司資訊時，可以針對這幾個面向去蒐集資料
5W1H
- Who - 老闆是誰？公司隸屬於哪個集團？
- What - 公司主推的業務、產品或研發內容? 之後的目標是什麼?
- Where - 主攻哪個市場? 有沒有想擴展版圖?
- When - 公司成立多久? 是新創還是大公司?
- Why - 創立公司的理由? 有什麼和其他公司不同之處?
- How - 公司如何營運?
然後搜蒐集資料可以從這幾個管道下手
- 工作的職缺描述
- LinkedIn 公司首頁
- 公司官網上的關於我們、發展歷史
- GlassDoor上面試的評價和回饋
- 社群帳號發文如 Facebook、twitter、Instagram等
- 新聞媒體報導
- 是否有人也在這間公司工作，詢問相關訊息，不管是不是在社交圈內都可以去嘗試詢問
- 在 Twitter 上搜尋公司的名字，通常可以找到該公司的員工，如果對方所在的團隊跟自己尋找的職缺相符，可以直接 PM 看有沒有機會聊聊，關於在該公司的工作經驗＆文化，建立個人 Networking，以交朋友的方式閒聊即可。Nyo
2. Why are you interested in this company? 3. What attracted you to our company?
What They Want to Know 了解面試者來應徵這家公司的原因，不希望來應徵的人是隨意挑個職缺來面試，而是這間公司或職缺哪裡吸引你，你對這份工作是有熱情的。
Tips
- 事先調查這間公司的特殊之處，比如這間公司是因為什麼原因而成立的，是哪一點吸引你，把這點連結到你個人的故事敘述出來
- 你的經驗如何提升該公司的核心價值、產品或服務，如果有想到營運相關的提案可以運用在這間公司也可以提出來
- 利用提及自己跟貴公司的某個團隊的成員聊過的經驗當作上述兩點的佐證。Nyo
- 要表現出會選擇該公司並非是海投履歷的結果，而是要表現是對該公司的熱情。Ben

- 你是否對於工作內容和公司有一定程度了解
- 你有什麼技術、個人特質和這份職缺是有相關的
- 團隊文化是否相符你的期望。Nyo
Tips 避免一直在談論自己，重點是圍繞在你可以為公司帶來什麼，且公司又能為你做到什麼。
把公司當作跳板、或是之後想去別的國家工作都是避免不要講出來的，盡管你可能是想這樣做，但講出來面試官會覺得錄取你沒多久你就會離職了。
利用 What do you know about our company? 這邊蒐集到的相關資訊和你的目標結合，切中要點的說明為什麼你適合這份職缺，並提到公司和職缺什麼地方最吸引你，你的經驗、技術可以為公司另外帶來什麼利益，比如你運用什麼方式為前家公司帶來營收，那你也可以講出來並提到說在這家公司你會怎麼做來增加營收。
10. Tell me about yourself.
What They Want to Know
- 個人背景和經驗
- 你這個人能為公司帶來怎樣的益處? 有什麼經驗可以貢獻?
- 你的個人特質＆氣場 Nyo
Tips 可以從你個人的興趣或是經驗談起，講點小故事，引起對方興趣；也可以講現在的職業，學業工作經驗，未來想做什麼。
首先在面試前我會上 LinkedIn 查詢這個人是什麼職位，或是在剛開始面試前通常對方會先自我介紹，然後按照不同職位的人講不同的自我介紹內容，同時也準備 3 分鐘和 5 分鐘的版本。
如果是面對 HR
- 偏重個性描述，連結自我介紹和這份工作的內容
- 了解這公司開這職缺所需要的原因是什麼，提出可以為公司帶來什麼
如果是面對技術人員
- 偏重技術描述，簡單的介紹自己過去經驗
- 為了解決什麼問題，所以使用什麼技術，連結自己技術和這份工作的職缺關鍵字
- 了解這公司開這職缺所需要的原因是什麼，提出可以為公司帶來什麼?
Example My name is ___. I have been doing _ for _ years. I specialise in helping companies develop their high standard product. In the last _ years, I have helped many clients to increase their product quality in many different industries. That what I am passionate about. My strength is my ability to deliver high quality code and design extendable architecture. Turn messily code bases into successful project. 蔡祥霖
Hi I'm John Doe and now working with X company. Have worked as a front-end engineer for N years. My favourite framework is React, tried Angular but just don't like the two way binding stuff. Have worked in big firms and also start-ups, still prefer bigger/smaller companies like [the company you apply for]. I'm into front-end since love making things looks pretty and amazing, if possible I would love to add some transitation animation to [the company you apply for]'s current website since it looks a bit dated compared to other competitors. Nyo
11. Why should we hire you? 12. What can you do for this company?
What They Want to Know 他們其實是在問為什麼你是最適合這份工作的人? 為什麼要選擇錄用你而不是其他人?
Tips 列出這份工作的職缺關鍵字，比如需要溝通能力很好、需要特定某某技術、公司特別看重什麼部份，你在 What do you know about our company? 的時候蒐集的資料就可以拿出來用；在敘述時連結你的個性、技術與經驗如何應用到這個職位，你可以為公司做到什麼，或是他們網站目前缺少什麼技術你可以導入、你覺得這間公司還可以朝什麼方向發展、增加什麼營運或業務邏輯等。
如果公司問這個問題就代表他們很雷 我面試的沒被問過這個問題 這個應該是公司自己要評估的問題而不是問candidate 職缺開出來連自己要招什麼人、有什麼需求、要解決什麼問題都不知道 我遇到這個問題會再說一次自介中的優點
My strength is my ability to deliver high quality code and design extendable architecture. Turn messily code bases into successful project. Helping companies develop their high standard product.蔡祥霖

- 負責的職務、使用的技術、產品的部屬流程、工作的流程、團隊的組成、有沒有和其他人合作的經驗、在履歷上你提到的相關貢獻是使用什麼技術、如何達成，產生什麼結果

18. Why did you leave (or why are you leaving) your job
What They Want to Know
- 想知道你是不是被資遣或裁員的
- 會不會再因為同樣的因素提出辭呈
Tips 誠實敘述你的情況但是要有策略性的回答，保持正向與積極的回答。不要說太多個人的事情，比如對工作感到厭倦、抱怨前公司、因為公司沒有挑戰性、或是同事很難相處之類的話，會讓對方懷疑你的個人特質和技術。
你可以說你對於少有機會可以表現感到挫折，然後敘述你完成了什麼事情，你被限制住可以做更多成就，所以你想藉由此職位達到什麼。
19. What are your strengths (pros) and weaknesses (cons)?
What They Want to Know
- 你是否熟知自己的優點及知道如何發揮
- 你是否了解自己的缺點並有實際行為去改善
Tips 優點 列出和這份職缺敘述所需的相關優點，和自己的優點相連結，或提出你認為最大的優點，比起只是單純描述，舉出實例來說明比較能說服人
缺點 舉實例描述不太嚴重的缺點，並且講出你做了什麼改善，並從中學到什麼
舉例自己的缺點，如何克服 Example I was difficult to delegate tasks to other people. I want to do all by myself. But when I join a good company. I realise most people are trustable and reliable. Then I can delegate task to them and trust them. 蔡祥霖
20. You like to work at startup or big company and why? 21. If you can choose to work at big company or startup, which one do you prefer? 22. What are the differences you think work at a small team or big team?
What They Want to Know
- 你是否待過新創或大公司
- 你對新創和大公司的想法
- 團隊合作的經驗，是否有做過 project with dependencies 的相關經歷。Nyo
Tips 通常對方是新創公司才會問這問題，提出你覺得新創公司好的地方，如可以身兼多職，學習和挑戰很多事物。
I think it depends how do you define the team size big or small, for example if you're in a 100 people team but actually your dailiy jobs only involves 10 people, am I in a small or big team? Says I work with same 10 people daily, then its' a small team which usaully works agile and can ship feature quciker, if we're all self working without any dependenceies. However, if our team need to work with other 90 people from time to time, which means we have quite lots dependencies, then the difference is that we would need to create contracts and reach agreement from time to time. Also we need to align on our roadmap and try not to be each other's blockers, its' the most difficult part and this would frequently slow things down and make feature shippment way slower. I personally would prefer to work in a smaller team since everything goes faster and we can experiment more features/ I would prefer to work in a larger team since larger team usually can ship larger impactful projects. Nyo
【衝突處理】
23. Describe a time when your boss was wrong. How did you handle the situation?

What They Want to Know 想知道如果工作時遇到高壓如何調適，在壓力下是否也能完成工作；另外也想知道你在生活中遇到的壓力是否會影響你的工作表現。
Tips
- 不要否認你從未遇過壓力，舉出實例解釋你如何處理，不要花太多時間在抱怨說你感受到多大的壓力，你是如何去處理且把這件事變成你的優勢。
- 舉例時需注意不要和職缺有相衝到，比如這份工作需要你同時做很多專案，你又說你對於同時做很多專案感到壓力，會讓人覺得你不適合這份工作。
準備小故事讓對方知道你如何處理壓力，表達認真努力的態度以及加班超時工作的底線和原則，面試是雙向的，如果公司是要找一個免洗爆肝奴才，最好趕快跑 Example
One time, I was asked to build a new app from scratch in tight deadline. I worked hard stay late for severals weeks. Finally finished the app before the deadline. In that severals weeks. I only care about two things enough sleep time make sure my body stay healthy and the app’s quality. I can work hard all day, but I don’t put any risk on my body health.
