工作期望是面试中一个必问问题之一。通常面试官都会问你想从工作中的到什么，或是你三到五年内的计划。那么，该如何回答这样的问题呢？下面两个案例会给你一点启示。
case one
interviewer: what do you want most from your work?
你最希望从工作中得到什么?
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种学习，能让我学到工作的技能。虽然我已经在学校学习了快16年,但只是学习到了知识，在学校里，没有机会接触到真正的社会，没有掌握一项工作技能，所以我最希望获得一项工作的技能，能够成为某一个行业领域的专业人士。
interviewer: why did you choose us?
你为什么选择到我们公司来应聘?
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.
俗话说"良好的开端是成功的一半"。贵公司是行业内的知名公司，享有很高的声誉。我希望选择贵公司作为事业的开端，不仅可以学到新东西，而且为我将来的发展打下良好的基础。
case two
interviewer: what do you hope this job will give you?
你最希望这份工作给予你什么?
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.
我希望这份工作可以给我一个承担职责的机会。在过去十几年的学习生涯中，作为一名学生，我从来没有在真正意义上承担过责任，为一个企业盈利。我认为，人是通过承担一定的责任才能成长、成熟的，我希望这份工作能够给予我发展的机会。
以上例子从学习和承担职责的角度出发，都十分注重能力的培养，这会让面试官觉得求职者不是一个功利心很强的人，给面试官留下好印象。
