關鍵的面試問題往往包覆在讚美的糖衣之下,為的是讓你卸下心防,以下幾個問題教你讀出面試官的心理策略。進入文章前,請先想想下列英文怎麼說: a) 條件太好 b) 降職 c) 古怪的 Question 1: You might be a) overqualified. It could mean: There must be something wrong with you. In asking this question, the interviewer has most likely already concluded that you are, technically, overqualified for the job. By asking this question, they’re giving you a chance to explain why you want this job when it is seemingly ‘beneath’ you. You must use your communication skills to convince the interviewer why a b) demotion is a good option. 問題1:你可能條件太好了。 他可能在想:你一定哪裡有問題。 這個問題出現時,面試官有可能已經在心裡下定論,認為你的技術條件遠超越這份工作的要求,這個問題是讓你解釋,為什麼你願意做一份很顯然地比你的能力資淺的工作,請運用溝通技巧說服面試官為什麼降職對你是個好選擇。 Question 2. Tell me about your weakness. It could mean: Give me a reason to tell my boss not to hire you. The interviewer is trying to figure out if it will be hard for you to do a good job or fit into the organization. He is also interested in how you handle a tough question like this. Let him see some positive side in your answer. For example, “I sometimes 1) go the extra mile so as not to disappoint anyone.” 問題2:告訴我你的弱點。 他可能在想:送我一個不錄用你的理由。 面試官想知道你能不能勝任工作、適應組織,也想知道你會如何處理這樣棘手的問題。讓他從你的答案中看到好的一面。例如:「有時為了不讓人失望,我會過度熱心。」 Question 3. Have you ever thought about having kids? It could mean: This question is totally illegal but hopefully you won’t notice since I’m smiling. The questions related to your family, nationality, gender, race and religion could actually be illegal. Unfortunately, these questions get asked more often than you think. The best way to answer is to avoid promising anything in terms of your future. You should 2) steer the conversation back to a job-related topic that assures the interviewer that you’re committed to your professional growth. 問題3:你有沒有打算生小孩? 他可能在想:這是不合法的問題,但希望你不會發現,因為我笑容滿面。 面試時問任何問題牽涉到你的家庭、國籍、性別、種族和宗教其實都可能不合法,不幸的是,這些問題比你想像得還常出現,最好的答案是不要承諾任何未來可能改變的事情,把話題繞回工作,比如向面試官保證你現在專注於職涯發展。 Question 4. If you are trapped on a desert island with only 3 movies, what would they be? It could mean: I just googled it to make me sound creative. c) Oddball questions are usually meant to determine how suitable you are for this job, besides what's on your resume. In such a situation, don’t try to come up with the most brilliant answer on the spot. Instead, use the opportunity to demonstrate your thought process, to communicate your values and characteristic. 問題4:如果你被困在一座島上,身邊只有三部電影,會是哪幾部電影? 他可能在想:剛才google到這個問題,還蠻有創意的。 古怪的問題通常是為了看出履歷之外的你,到底多適合這份工作。這種情況下,不用為了想出最聰明的答案絞盡腦汁,利用這個機會去展現你如何產出想法、傳達你的價值和個人特質。 1) go the extra mile 付出比別人期望中還要大的努力 He is always ready to go the extra mile for his friends. 他總是願意為朋友付出極多。 2) steer back 引導回 Steer是操作、駕駛交通工具,衍伸為轉移話題。 He made an attempt to steer the conversation back to Heather. 他試著將話題轉回海瑟身上。 |
