You
know
they're
coming:
Those
seemingly
unanswerable
questions
that
pop
up
during
job
interviews。
你知道该来的总会来:那些看起来无法回答的问题总会在求职面试的时候突然冒出来。
You
can't
clam
up.
And
you
don't
want
to
stutter
and
stammer.
So
what's
a
job
seeker
to
do?
你不想一声不吭,也不想结结巴巴。那么,一个求职者应该怎么做呢?
The
'Future'
Question
关于“将来”的问题(当面试机会来到时,应该把握一个度,才能得到工作)
Otherwise
known
as
the
"big
picture"
question,
the
future
question
goes
something
like
this:
"Where
do
you
yourself
in
five
years?"除了那些“宏观的”问题之外,关于未来的问题总是像这样的:“你觉得五年后你会在什么位置上?”
The
best
tactic:
Talk
about
your
values.
最好的策略:谈论你的价值观。
Don't
get
too
detailed
about
your
specific
career
plan.
Instead,
discuss
things
that
are
important
to
you
professionally
and
how
you
plan
to
achieve
them.
If
growth
is
a
goal,
mention
that.
You
can
also
talk
about
challenge,
another
value
that
employers
prize
in
their
employees。不要把你的职业规划说的太详细。取而代之的是,谈论一些在职业方面对你很重要的事情以及你打算怎样实现这些。如果成长是一个目标,可以提一下。你还可以说说挑战,这是雇主在员工身上很重视的一点。
The
'Salary'
Question.
关于“薪水”的问题
Most
people
will
tell
you
that
whoever
answers
this
question
first
loses.
But
that's
not
necessarily
true.
大多数人都会告诉你谁最先回答这个问题谁就输了。但也不一定是真的。
When
an
interviewer
asks
your
salary
requirement,
try
first
to
gently
deflect
the
question
by
inquiring
about
the
salary
for
the
position.
如果以为雇主问你待遇要求,首先试试打个擦边球,问问这个职位的薪水是多少。(可反问面试官的问题要注意把握,不应该给人一个坏印象。)
If
the
interviewer
you
for
a
number,
give
a
range.
To
decide
on
a
range,
think
about
the
salary
you
want,
your
salary
at
your
most
recent
position
and
the
industry-standard
salary
for
the
job.
如果面试官一定让你说个数字,给个范围。决定这个数字的时候,考虑一下你想要的薪水,你最近一份工作的薪水以及这份工作的普遍行情。
The
bottom
line:
The
salary
question
is
one
of
the
most
important,
so
you
should
prepare
for
it
in
advance
and
plan
what
to
say.
底线原则:薪水问题是最重要的问题之一,所以你应该事先准备打算好要怎么回答。
The
'Why'
Question.
关于“为什么”的问题
There's
a
fine
line
between
boastful
and
confident.
And
you
need
to
learn
it.
在自负和自信之间有一条线,你需要知道这条线在哪。
When
an
interviewer
asks
you
why
they
should
hire
you,
you're
going
to
have
speak
confidently
and
honestly
about
your
abilities.
But
you
should
avoid
sounding
overly
boastful.
当一位面试官问到为什么他们应该雇用你,你需要自信并诚实的说出你的能力。但是你应该避免给人感觉太自负。
Aim
for
earnest
and
prepare
by
practicing.
That's
right:
Stand
in
front
of
the
mirror
and
acknowledge
your
abilities
and
accomplishments
to
your
reflection.
Tell
yourself:
I
have
a
very
strong
work
ethic.
I
have
integrity.
I
have
excellent
industry
contacts.
I
aggressively
pursue
my
goals.
力争做到诚挚,并且事前练习。这样做是对的:站在镜子前面,对着镜子中的自己说出自己的能力和成就。告诉自己说:我职业道德感很强。我很正直。我有良好的行业资源。我追求进取。面试制胜法宝应该要“自我陶醉”吧!
It's
sometimes
hard
to
praise
yourself,
but
after
a
few
sessions
you'll
sound
sincere。自我表扬有时候是比较难,不过经过一个阶段后,你听起来会很真诚。
The
Seemingly
Silly
Question.
看上去很傻的问题
If
you
were
a
tree,
what
kind
of
tree
would
you
be?
What
if
you
were
a
car?
Or
an
animal?如果你是一棵树,你想成为哪种树?如果是辆车呢?或者是一种动物?
These
type
of
questions
can
bring
your
interview
to
a
screeching
halt.
这种问题可能会给你的面试来个急刹车。
First,
don't
panic.
Pause
and
take
a
deep
breath.
Then
remind
yourself
that
there's
no
"right"
answer
to
these
questions.
The
job
isn't
hinging
on
whether
you
choose
to
a
spruce
versus
an
oak.
首先,别惊慌。停下来做个深呼吸。然后提醒自己说这些问题没有所谓的“正确答案”。工作的关键不在于你选择了云杉而不是橡树。
Interviewers
usually
ask
these
questions
to
how
you
react
under
pressure
and
how
well
you
handle
the
unexpected.
It's
not
so
important
what
type
of
tree
(or
car,
or
animal)
you
choose
as
that
you
explain
your
choice
in
a
way
that
makes
you
look
favorable.
面试官通常问这些问题是为了看看你在压力下如何反应,如何处理意料之外的情况。你选择哪种树(或者汽车、或者动物)不是很重要,你解释你做出的选择的方式会让人更接受你。
So,
a
spruce
--
because
you
want
to
reach
new
heights
in
your
career.
Or
an
oak
--
because
you
plan
to
put
down
roots
at
the
company.
Either
way,
you'll
get
it
right.
所以,做棵云杉吧,因为你希望能在职业生涯中抵达新的高度。或者做一棵橡树,因为你想在公司里扎根。无论哪一种,你都是对的。
