l drug maker, his revamped response 'really resonated with the interviewer,' says Mr. Santora. The manufacturer hired the man.

　　桑特拉說，當他后來在一家全球性制藥企業(yè)求職時，他的回答讓面試官很有共鳴。這家公司最后雇用了他。

　　It's equally important that you consider an employer's corporate culture. While being interviewed by a start-up, 'you could say, 'My weakness is I get bored by routine,'' says Ben Dattner, a New York industrial psychologist.

　　考慮目標公司的企業(yè)文化也同樣重要。紐約心理學家達特納(Ben Dattner)說，如果到一家初創(chuàng)公司面試，你可以說，“我的缺點是容易對日常的循規(guī)蹈矩感到厭煩”。

　　Last month, an aspiring executive director of a nonprofit group in suburban San Francisco nearly jeopardized his selection because his reply to a variation of the weakness question ignored one of its core values, according to Ms. Klaus, a board member there. Near the end of his interview, she wondered whether he might have problems with any aspects of the job. 'No, I am confident I could do it all,' the prospect declared.

　　克勞斯說，上個月，舊金山郊區(qū)一家非營利組織的一名熱情的執(zhí)行董事差一點兒毀掉他的機會，原因是他在回答一個變相的弱點問題時忽視了這家機構(gòu)的一項核心價值。克勞斯是這家機構(gòu)的董事。面試快結(jié)束時，克勞斯想知道他對那個職位的各個方面是否還有什么問題。“沒問題，我想我都能解決，”這位求職者回答到。

　　His flip comment dismayed Ms. Klaus, because she felt he lacked awareness of his weaknesses. She says his response raised doubts among board members that 'he would be able to take critical feedback,' an attribute the organization values highly.
