英语面试中最让人捉急的六种回答！

表达难点：以前我面试老师或者员工的时候从来都不问的一个问题就是“请你谈谈你的缺点”。 眼看着人编瞎话还不许笑：太残忍了！ 虚头八脑的人和说话实在的人都会在这个问题里摔跤。HR提问的时候不是想从答案里找出什么闪闪发光的优缺点，主要是想看看面试者是否具备撒谎方面的天赋，二十一世纪最值钱的就是这种人才了。一直以来大家都知道回答这问题千万不能太实诚了。赖床、花心、迟到、传闲话这类“优秀素质”万万不可与它人分享。曾经有阵子同学们都学会了“装大尾巴狼”式的答案：“I'm so compulsively serious about my work that I can't stop until the job is 100% done.”。对不起，容我吐一个先......

表述技巧：最省事的办法，找张纸写下十个专业人士必备的QUALITIES OR ABILITIES（素质或技能），比如cooperative, flexible, personal skills, experienced，creative，public speaking skills等等这些。然后挨个把你将要面试的职位最看重最需要的每一条划掉。看看最后剩下的有哪些，随便挑一个英语不绕嘴的，发音简单的，能举出具体事例和改进措施的---这个就是你的缺点啦！举个例子：如果你去面试一个秘书的职位，多半留下的|是public speaking skills。剩下的大半时间要说说你打算怎么克服这个缺点，举出来的例子一定要落到实处，要包括具体的时间地点人物！如果你能做到说着说着“不经意间”从口袋里掏出一个事先准备好的INDEX CARD，同时告诉面试官 “I’m currently taking workshops in public speaking skills development. Here’s my homework for tonight’s class.”---那您可老厉害了，下个工作可以直接考虑跳槽到百老汇。

Q&A例句：

What is your greatest weakness?

I have had trouble in the past with scheduling and prioritization. However, I’m now taking steps to correct this. I just started using a PDA . . .

In my last job, I wasn't able to develop my public-speaking skills. I'd really like to be able to work in a place that will help me get better at giving presentations and talking in front of others.
