點(diǎn)評(píng): 一個(gè)很好的回答, 體現(xiàn)出了一個(gè)銷(xiāo)售人員對(duì)完成任務(wù)的強(qiáng)烈的渴望, 同時(shí)也順便帶出了自己完不成任務(wù)的客觀理由。
18. How would you evaluate the progress you made in your last job? 你如何來(lái)評(píng)價(jià)自己在上一份工作中的表現(xiàn)?
問(wèn)題分析: 對(duì)于在上一份工作中表現(xiàn)平平的申請(qǐng)人, 這個(gè)問(wèn)題簡(jiǎn)直如芒刺在背, 痛苦啊。但是, 哪怕面壁三天、 掘地三尺也要想出一兩個(gè)你在上一份工作中的亮點(diǎn), 否則, 只能在面試時(shí)芒刺在背了。
回答示范1: I am very proud of the progress I made in my last job. I joined the company as a new hand, but after only a year and a half, I was promoted to team leader. I could achieve such a rapid progress partly because my last job was in a small firm. If I can make the same progress in a large company like GE, I would be prouder.
點(diǎn)評(píng)1: 回答得非常好, 既吹噓了自己的迅速成長(zhǎng), 也誠(chéng)懇地指出自己是個(gè)羊群里的駱駝, 在小公司里才能獲得如此快速的提升。
回答示范2: Well, I would give myself 70% if 100 means full satisfaction. I had some achievements in my last job. For example, I got 80-89% in the annual evaluation last year, which was 60%. The promotion program I organized on Wangfujing Road was highly successful and my client was very pleased. However, the results of several other programs were not quite satisfactory due to some reasons I couldn't control. Actually that's why I want to quit.
點(diǎn)評(píng)2: 這個(gè)回答可能更符合多數(shù)申請(qǐng)人的實(shí)際情況: 有成就, 也有失敗。
19. What pressures did you have in your last job and how did you manage them? 你工作中有什么壓力, 你是怎么樣應(yīng)付的?
問(wèn)題分析: 平庸的人往往感受不到壓力, 有能力的人往往在工作中遭遇很大的壓力, 同時(shí), 他們處理壓力的方法也是相當(dāng)積極有效的。
回答示范1: In my current job, most pressure comes from the high sales target. It’s extremely difficult to meet the target because it’s a 30% increase over the sales of last year, and the sales of last year were already quite high. However, I can manage this pressure well because although I can't meet the sales target, my sales abilities have never been challenged by my boss and others. Six out of seven sales reps can't meet the target this year and I am actually quite close to it.
點(diǎn)評(píng)1: 雖然該申請(qǐng)人沒(méi)有說(shuō)出具體的應(yīng)付壓力的辦法, 但是他告訴面試官他并不受壓力所困, 因?yàn)樽约旱哪芰υ缫呀?jīng)被公認(rèn)。這是一個(gè)很自信的回答。
回答示范2: Well, I have to meet deadlines in my current job. Some projects have a very tight schedule, and even if we do a lot of over time work it’s still hard to meet the deadline. This gives me a lot of pressure. Usually I manage the pressure by communicating honestly with my boss. If he can understand me I feel relaxed.
點(diǎn)評(píng)2: 非常入情入理的回答。做技術(shù)工作的人員通常為了趕項(xiàng)目而熬通宵, 而如果熬通宵也不能如期交付項(xiàng)目的話(huà), 勢(shì)必會(huì)造成心理壓力。爭(zhēng)取老板的理解, 的確是緩解壓力的好辦法。
回答示范3: There are many emergencies in my current job, you know, customer challenges, unexpected orders. As the customer service officer with the longest experience I am usually put in charge of handling emergencies, you know, like a firefighter. This gives me lots of pressure because I can't let my boss down. I could handle these pressures well, partly because I'm used to them.
