工作期望是面試中一個必問面試問題之一。通常面試官都會問你想從工作中的到什麼，或是你三到五年內的計劃。那麼，該如何回答這樣的面試問題呢？下面兩個案例會給你一點啟示。
Case One
Interviewer: What do you want most from your work? 你最希望從工作中得到什麼？
Applicant: I hope to get a kind of learning, to get skills from my work. Though I have studied in school for nearly 16 years, I have only learned knowledge. In the university, I got no chance to see real life and didn't get working skills. So I want to learn some working skills and become a professional in an industry.
我最希望得到的是一種學習，能讓我學到工作的技能。雖然我已經在學校學習了快16年，但只是學習到了知識，在學校裏，沒有機會接觸到真正的社會，沒有掌握一項工作技能，所以我最希望獲得一項工作的技能，能夠成為某一個行業領域的專業人士。
Interviewer: Why did you choose us?
你為什麼選擇到我們公司來應聘？
Applicant: As the saying goes, “well begun is half done”。 Your company is a famous one in the industry and boasts a high reputation. I hope to choose your company as the beginning of my career. I can not only learn new things, but set a solid foundation for my future career as well.
俗話説“良好的開端是成功的一半”。貴公司是行業內的知名公司，享有很高的聲譽。我希望選擇貴公司作為事業的開端，不僅可以學到新東西，而且為我將來的.發展打下良好的基礎。
Case Two
Interviewer: What do you hope this job will give you? 你最希望這份工作給予你什麼？
Applicant: I hope this job will give me a chance to take responsibility. In more than ten years' of study as a student, I have never taken any responsibility in any real sense or earned money for a company. I think people can only become mature by taking on responsibility. I hope this work will give me the chance to develop fully.
我希望這份工作可以給我一個承擔職責的機會。在過去十幾年的學習生涯中，作為一名學生，我從來沒有在真正意義上承擔過責任，為一個企業盈利。我認為，人是通過承擔一定的責任才能成長、成熟的，我希望這份工作能夠給予我發展的機會。
以上例子從學習和承擔職責的角度出發，都十分注重能力的培養，這會讓面試官覺得求職者不是一個功利心很強的人，給面試官留下好印象。
