趁著記憶還深刻,趕快記錄下這人生的重要階段! 年初本來想說要回台灣一趟,所以申請公民的事情就一直拖著了,看著身旁跟我同一時期來的朋友們紛紛入籍,加上疫情反反覆覆回台時間遙遙無期,就把申請表填一填遞交出去了。身為DV取得綠卡,要交的文件似乎沒有太多,我只檢附了:
二月遞表,五月按指紋,九月面試。流程比我想的快多了(以為會拖到隔年)
面試的時間非常非常的早,早到天都還沒亮(6:30),算是第一批吧!進去的時候面試官桌上還放著吃著一半的早餐 🫕 簡單的寒暄一下就問我準備好了嗎? 她要開始考了:
- ●Who does a U.S. Senator represent? (這題我答錯,我以為是問我們州議員名字)
- ●We elect a U.S. Senator for how many years?
- ●總統是誰?
- ●副總統是誰?
- ●Name one right only for United States citizens.
- ●Who lived in America before the Europeans arrived?
- ●What happened at the Constitutional Convention?
之後就是讀寫,讀我忘了,反正很簡單。她念你寫:
- "The people elect the congress."
寫完後就恭喜我通過考試了。然後接下來就是針對N400的部分問問題,她一邊問一邊打字,對義務役當兵的部分有稍微多問了一點,最後她加註的部分會給你看然後簽名確認。最後就給你一張紙恭喜你通過面試。 Easy~
拿到那張紙去樓下排隊一群人一起宣誓,會給一個信封袋裡面有小國旗跟宣誓誓詞跟一些公民能幹嘛的文件,綠卡就會收走。宣誓完發給你公民紙,我是第一個拿到(也是當天第一個😁) ,拿到後就拍拍照可以走了。
最近在準備面試,把學校提供的一些面試準備方向記錄一下。 “Tell me about yourself“ 是很簡單也很深奧的問題。從這個問題的回答,人家想知道你如何看待這份工作的關係。所以不要回答家庭, 小孩等和工作無關的。
試著簡單列出下列一些list,然後把這個組織起來。
- Education (as it relates to the position)
- Skills/Related Work Experience
- Job Focus/Future Career Plans
回答的方向可以簡單的以 現在- 過去- 未來 做一個編排。
Q: "Tell me about yourself."
A: "Well, I'm currently is a part-time student at Clark College. I'm also a volunteer at Boys and Girls Clubs, where I teach young to code and maintain computers. Before that, I worked for one of a biggest real estate companies as a programmer in Taiwan. I really enjoyed the work that I did, I build internal websites and APPs for our client use. I wrote over 10 APPs for different companies; some of them have been downloaded over 170,000 times until now. I have a positive attitude and like to challenge new things. That's why I left my comfort zone and came to the US to pursue my American Dream. "
