職場英語：如何舉例子陳述你的實力（下）

　　我們通過對大量面試資料的分析，發(fā)現(xiàn)一些典型的問題在各種面試中反復(fù)出現(xiàn)，恰恰是這些看似平常的問題使許多應(yīng)聘者失去了得到理想工作的機會。所以在面試篇中，我們將逐個對這些常見的面試問題進行講解，并提供得體應(yīng)答例句。相信面試篇能助您充滿信心地在面試中侃侃而談，在最激烈的競爭中脫穎而出。

　　1、Q:If you had to stay in your current job,what would you spend more time on?Why?

　　A:If stay in my current job,I?d like to gain more experience in labor negotiating.In particular,I'd like to help negotiate labor contracts,resolve grievances at the step?4 level,and prepare grievances for arbitration.My background in all other areas of human resources is strong,and I believe labor relations experience will round out my skills so that I can have the opportunity to move up as a department head or a vice president in the future.

　　問：假如你不得不留在你目前就任的職位上，你會多花一點時間在什么方面?為什么?

　　答：如果我還干這份工作，我寧愿獲得更多有關(guān)勞資談判的經(jīng)驗，特別是我想幫助談判勞動合同，解決4級程度冤情，準備提請仲裁。我在人力資源所有其他方面的背景資料都比較牢固，我相信勞動關(guān)系經(jīng)驗?zāi)苁刮业募寄芨S富完善，以使我將來能有機會上升到部門領(lǐng)導(dǎo)或副經(jīng)理的位置。?

　　你對你的工作最感興趣的是什么?敘述大量的任務(wù)給了你最大的滿足。此外，表明你有興趣提高工作的等級，處于領(lǐng)導(dǎo)位置上等。

　　2、Q:How could you enrich your current job?

　　A:When I was a research assistant for the cable and wireless company back in ninety?three,at a time when we were experiencing rapid growth,our pricing analyst abruptly resigned for a better job.During the search to fill his position,I volunteered to help out with one of the major government projects.I worked considerable overtime,studied on my own,and helped bring the project to conclusion.I was commended for my effort and was told I?d be in line for the next opening in the pricing group.

　　問：你如何豐富你目前就任的工作?

　　答：回想1993年時，我是一家電報和無線電公司的研究助理。正當我們?nèi)〉蔑w速發(fā)展時，我們的價格分析員為了另一份好工作突然辭職了。在找人填補他位置的過程中，我協(xié)助完成了幾個主要的政府項目之一。我常加班加點，并且努力學習，并使這個項目獲得肯定。我因此而受到贊揚，并被告知我將納入下次舉辦的價格小組。

　　展示一項能不斷地為你的工作增值的能力。有什么新的機會能挑戰(zhàn)你的技能和智力?面試官想確信你不會對你的工作感到厭倦或?qū)χ槐Щ孟搿?/p>

　　3、Q:How do you explain your job successes?

　　A:I never assume our customers are satisfied with our product, so I do my best to follow up with every customer.This feedback has provided valuable insight into the quality and characteristics of our products.The customer,as well,always appreciates this follow?up,especially when something hasn't gone right and you still have the opportunity to correct it on a timely basis.In addition,I?m able to pass on information to our design and production units to help improve both process and product.

　　問：你對你的成功如何解釋?

　　答：我從來都不假定我的顧客滿意我們的產(chǎn)品，所以我總是盡力跟蹤每一位顧客。

　　顧客對我們產(chǎn)品的質(zhì)量和性能提供了很好的見解，顧客們同樣也很賞識這種追蹤調(diào)查，特別是有些事情處理不當?shù)臅r候，你還有機會及時糾正。另外，我能傳遞信息給我們的設(shè)計和生產(chǎn)單位去幫它們改善工序和提高產(chǎn)量。

　　說話要坦率但不能自大。提起一些別人對你工作能力或才華的評價。這個問題與“什么使你與眾不同?”問法很相似。

　　4、Q:Compared to others with a similar background in your field,how would you rate yourself?

　　A:I?ve been consistently ranked in the top 10 percent nationally for all salespeople in my field.I sell advertising space for a national news publication.My clients are primarily large and agencies that represent corporate in America.I've always enjoyed the challenge of selling to advertising?agency executives because they always set high standards and really know our product well.This brings out the very best in my competitive nature,and I'm consistently at the top,both within my publishing company and within the industry.

　　問：和同領(lǐng)域里背景相似的人比較，你如何評價自己?

　　答：在全國所有的銷售員隊伍里我一直排在前10%。我為一家國有新聞刊物推銷廣告版面，我的顧客代表了全美國的主要大型廣告代理。我總是喜歡把產(chǎn)品賣給廣告代理執(zhí)行部門的這種挑戰(zhàn)，因為它們總是定一個高的標準，并且真正了解我們的產(chǎn)品。這最充分地顯示了我愛競爭的天性。我在我的出版公司和行業(yè)里一直都是名列前茅的。

　　誠懇而自信，但不要驕傲自大。為你的回答提供清楚、有說服力的理由。如果你在全國銷售領(lǐng)域里排在前10%，那么這是提出來的好時機!

　　5、Q:How good are your writing abilities?

　　A:I really concentrated on further developing my writing skills while I got my MBA.I took an entrepreneurial class in which the chief assignment was developing,writing,and continually rewriting a very involved business plan.

　　問：你的寫作能力有多強?

　　答：在我獲得了工商管理碩士之后，我就真正集中精力進一步提高我的寫作技巧。我參加過一個企業(yè)家培訓班，其主要任務(wù)是拓展、擬寫和不斷改寫一個非常復(fù)雜的商業(yè)計劃。

　　一個極好的回答，準備一個商業(yè)計劃或類似的東西展示給招聘者看。在面試后把這份商業(yè)計劃留下給招聘者。招聘者可能正在尋找一個有寫作能力的人選，特別是需要大量寫作的工種，如財政分析者或撰稿人。

　　6、Q:What would you say are the broad responsibilities of an editorial assistant?

　　A:Though I?m sure it varies from company to company, I think it would be safe to say that being an editorial assistant involves a lot of typing, filing, and general administrative work. I would probably be expected to read and evaluate book proposals, write manuscript rejection letters, have some limited correspondence with authors, and generally assist the editor in whatever needed to be done

　　問：你認為一個助理編輯的廣泛職責是什么?

　　答：我肯定不同的公司有不同的責任要求，但最基本的是，一個助理編輯要會打字、文件歸檔和一般的行政工作。也許還要閱讀書籍和寫書評，寫退稿信，與作者進行一些簡單的書信交流，還有協(xié)助編輯處理需要完成的工作。

　　面試官可能會以這種或者那種形式問你這個問題。這個問題與“在你以前的那份工作中，你的愿望與現(xiàn)實有什么相異之處?”那個問題很相似，但更巧妙一點。雖然從根本上說，這兩個問題都是在確定同一樣東西，但是這種提問形式更巧妙一點。許多首次應(yīng)聘者對他們的公司抱有幻想，而且對于從事平凡的抄寫員的工作感到意外與不快。雇主想確信你對該工作抱有現(xiàn)實的態(tài)度，還有你會愉快地在那個職位上工作好幾年。

　　7、Q:What computer systems and software do you know?

　　A:I?ve used PCs with general office software such as Microsoft Word for Windows,WordPerfect,Lotus123,and Excel.I have some experience with Macintosh systems as well. And through my search for a computer network,I've gained some familiarity with local networks;the computer company we used trained me on basic troubleshooting issues.

　　問：你熟知什么電腦系統(tǒng)和軟件?

　　答：我用過裝有辦公軟件的個人電腦，軟件包括WORD、WORDPERFECT、LOTUS 123和EXCEL。同樣我也有使用MACINTOSH系統(tǒng)的經(jīng)驗。通過對電腦網(wǎng)絡(luò)的研究，我已對局域網(wǎng)熟悉起來。我們使用某公司的電腦系統(tǒng)和軟件，它們就培訓我們?nèi)绾闻沤庖恍┗镜墓收蠁栴}。

　　在今天的商業(yè)環(huán)境里，電腦操作能力是必需的。WORD文字處理程序和EXCEL電子制表經(jīng)驗是必要的，熟悉數(shù)據(jù)庫的操作或制圖程序也一樣有用。大多數(shù)行業(yè)使用PC機，但很多創(chuàng)新型領(lǐng)域，如出版業(yè)和廣告業(yè)就使用MACINTOSH。假如你正在面試這個領(lǐng)域里的一家公司，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)熟悉MACS的好處。
