25、问:我为什么要聘用你?
答:我叔叔在这个行业里有过一个小规模的制造公司,尽管他后来卖掉了它,但我在那里工作了5个暑假,做过各种各样的临时工作。因此,我认为我是从最底层做起并了解这个行业的,且你要相信我知道作为一个工厂的经理我该学会一些什么东西。不要重复你的简历或应聘历史,提供一个或两个例子来说明为什么你要和这家特定的公司进行交谈。什么是你用来证明你的兴趣最有力的例子呢?这个问题通常都保留不问,但它总是在招聘者的脑子里。即使这个问题不问到,你也应该找机会在面试过程中说出来,大约就在你结束谈话的时候。
Q: Why should I hire you?
A: My uncle had a company that was a small scale manufacturer in the industry, and although he later sold the business. I worked there for five summers doing all sorts of odd jobs. For that reason I believe I know this business from the ground up, and you can be assured that I know what I’d be getting into as a plant manager here.
26、问:你的关键技能是什么?
答:作为高级系统分析人员工作6年以后,我拓展了大量的关键技能,包括商务模型、过程重建、软件包评价和在UNIX和C语言环境下的优秀编程技能。我非常高兴这些技能都是你们需要的,你想听一下我具体的工作例子吗?谈及你的工作技能以及你如何把它们运用于这份工作上。避免陈词滥调或过分笼统,应提供具体的例子,拿你当前在任的工作或以前的工作与正在面试的这份工作作比较。
Q: What are your key skills?
A: After working six years as a senior systems analyst, Ive developed a number of key skills, including business modeling, process reengineering, software package evaluation, and excellent programming skills in UNIX and C environments. I was very pleased to discover that these are the skills youre seeking. Do you want to hear about specific examples of my work?
27、问:你的实力是什么?
答:我的实力是人际关系技巧,我通常都能使别人支持我的观点。对人我有着较好的判断力且对他们的才华和解决问题的能力有较好的直觉。这种技能在我看来和这份工作直接相关。我知道你要求有3年的相关工作经验。虽然我的简历表明我只有两年的工作经验,但这并不代表我只上了两年和本领域相关的夜大,并在某一专门团体里表现得比较积极。我还通过阅读企业贸易新闻来获取知识,我肯定我的综合知识和技术水平与那些有3年实际水平的人相当。眼下我还正在学习时间管理课程,我已看到了这门课程在我目前从事的这份工作中起到的作用。
----描述两三项和该工作最相关的技能。避免老生常谈或过分笼统,应提供详细的例子。描述能把这些技能运用于新职位的新方法。假如你不得不谈你缺点的话,那就诚恳一点,但要避免露馅,避免指出那有可能成为你获得这份工作的主要障碍的缺点。例如,指出你仅有他们要求的工作经验是明智的,面试官肯定很重视这些,你还可以解释你是如何够资格去做这份工作的。
Q: What are your strengths?
A: My strengths are interpersonal skills, and I can usually win people over to my point of view. Also, I have good judgment about people and an intuitive sense of their talents and their ability to contribute to a given problem. These skills seem to me directly related to the job. I notice that you require three years work experience for this job. Although my resume shows that I have only two years experience, it doesnt show that I took two evening college courses related to my field and have been active in one of the professional societies. I also try to gain knowledge by reading the industrys trade journals. Im certain that my combined knowledge and skill level is the equivalent of that of other people who actually do have three years work experience. Im also currently enrolled in a time management course; I can already see the effects of this course at work on my present job.
