英语面试中最让人捉急的六种回答!

2013-08-26来源:wsj
NO.5 主席也是人,我也是有缺点的。

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.
