英文面试巧答“婚姻状况”

面试中女性求职者常被问及一些有关婚姻的尴尬问题，这是猎头都无法帮其规避的。公司这样的做法当然有欠妥当，面试官当然也不够专业，但既然问题无法回避，那就“兵来将挡，水来土掩”，坦然面对吧。

在许多“三资”企业和乡镇企业的招聘中，一般都会提出这一问题，其目的是既想长期雇用廉价的劳动力，又不愿承担法律规定应赋予工人的权利和义务。如果你年龄恰好已到婚配或怀孕阶段，回答则要尽量使用一些策略，可以说，“一切以工作为重，决不会因婚姻影响工作”、“我尚未有在短时期内结婚的打算”等，语言可以模糊一点。

当然，面试者只有对自己清晰定位，对所应聘的公司和职位有足够的了解，做好针对性的准备，才能保证在面试中有出色的表现。
