原汁原味商务英语播客第92课:面试问题

 　　There is one question that you will definitely¹ be asked in any job interview, a question for which you should always prepare a response. That is: “Do you have any questions for me?”

　　这是个在面试中肯定会被问到的问题，一个你应该准备好回应的问题。那是“你有什么问题要问我吗？”

　　In this Business English Podcast lesson, we will focus on how to deal with this question. We’ll talk about what interviewers expect from you and we’ll emphasize² the importance of preparation. We’ll also study how you can use this opportunity to “interview the interviewer” – that is, to find out whether the company is a good fit for you. Meanwhile, we’ll talk about how, for the interviewer, this is a chance to put your company in the best possible light.
