After the restructuring, my role changed a lot, and now I mostly do admin work.
组织架构调整后我的工作内容改变很大,现在大多在做行政。
The company went through a restructuring last year, and my department was merged with another one.
公司去年组织架构调整,我的部门跟另一个部门合并了。
面试官可能这样回
How did the restructuring affect your team?
组织架构调整对你的团队有什么影响?
心里想的是“想换到别的领域”,跟面试官说明时用 transition,后面接 from 原本的领域 into 想去的领域。
transition 转换(到另一个领域)
I'm hoping to transition from sales into marketing.
我希望从销售转到市场营销。
My sales experience will help me make the transition to marketing.
我的销售经验能帮我顺利转到市场营销。
面试官可能这样回
Why marketing?
为什么想做市场营销?
直翻易错:“我想转行做市场营销”
想说“我想转行做市场营销”时,很多人会直翻成 I want to transfer to marketing.。换公司、转领域的时候,可以说 I'm hoping to transition into marketing.。transfer 多半用在同一家公司内部调部门或调地点。
说明跟现职公司的关系、为什么选这里
心里想的是“不想让面试官以为我是跟领导闹翻才走”,可以补一句自己是 on good terms 离开。
on good terms 关系良好、好聚好散
I still get along with my manager, and I'm leaving on good terms.
我跟领导处得不错,这次是好聚好散。
I left my last company on good terms, and I still keep in touch with my old team.
我跟上一家公司好聚好散,现在还跟以前的团队保持联系。
面试官可能这样回
Would your manager be willing to give you a reference?
你的领导愿意当你的推荐人吗?
讲完为什么要走,面试官常会接着问 Why do you want to work here?,可以用 a good fit 说自己的背景跟这个职位对得上。
a good fit 很合适的人选
With my sales background, I think I'd be a good fit for this marketing role.
我有销售背景,觉得自己很适合这个市场营销职位。
I've read about your team's recent projects, and I think I'd be a good fit.
我看过你们团队最近的项目,觉得自己很适合。
面试官可能这样回
Great. Can you tell me about a campaign you've worked on?
很好。可以说说你参与过的营销活动吗?
谈入职时间、被挽留的时候
面试快结束时,面试官常会问 How much notice do you need to give?,回答时说出自己的 notice period 和大概什么时候能入职。
notice period 离职通知期
My notice period is 30 days, so I can start in about a month, once I've handed over my work.
我的离职通知期是 30 天,所以大约一个月后、把工作交接完就能入职。
I'm giving notice this Friday, so my notice period starts then.
我这周五跟领导提离职,通知期就从那天开始算。
例句里的 hand over(交接)在《请年假、交接工作、设自动回复,英语怎么说?》那篇学过。
面试官可能这样回
That works for us.
这样可以。
用法提醒:two weeks' notice 和国内的通知期
跟美国公司的人讲时,口头上多说 I need to give two weeks' notice.(我要提前两周告知公司),notice period 比较常出现在合同和 HR 文档里;美国也没有法定通知期。在国内,《劳动合同法》第三十七条规定,员工提前三十日以书面形式通知公司,就可以解除劳动合同;试用期内提前三日通知即可。
面试官也可能问 What would you do if your company made a counteroffer?,想表明已经决定离开,可以这样回答。
counteroffer 现在的公司开出的挽留条件
Even if my company makes a counteroffer, I've decided to move on.
就算公司开条件留我,我也已经决定离开了。
My company made a counteroffer, but I turned it down.
公司开了条件留我,但我拒绝了。
面试官可能这样回
That's good to know.
了解。
整段照着用:一场面试从头到尾

Rachel:So, why are you leaving your current job? 那你为什么想离开现在的工作?

Rachel:Is there anything else? 还有其他原因吗?
你:I'd also like a better work-life balance so I can stay focused at work. 我也希望工作和生活更平衡,上班时才能更专注。
Rachel:Why do you want to work here? 你为什么想来我们公司?
你:I'm hoping to transition into marketing, and with my sales background, I think I'd be a good fit for this role. 我希望转到市场营销,我有销售背景,觉得自己很适合这个职位。
Rachel:How much notice do you need to give? 你要提前多久告知公司?
你:My notice period is 30 days, so I can start in about a month, once I've handed over my work. 我的离职通知期是 30 天,所以大约一个月后、把工作交接完就能入职。
