都11月了还没找到实习，真的好心慌，15道题告诉你该怎么破！

错误答案：I love to shop. Even as a kid, I spent hours flipping through catalogues.

原因分析：千万不要告诉面试官你想要这份工作是因为你喜欢，因为这个理由放在谁身上都成立。要把答案集中你所拥有的关于这个行业或者职业经历，最好是能有一个成功的案例和故事。

正确答案：I’ve always loved shopping, but my interest in retail marketing really started when I worked at a neighborhood boutique. I knew our clothes were amazing, but that we weren’t marketing them properly. So I worked with management to come up with a marketing strategy that increased our sales by 25% in a year. It was great to be able to contribute positively to an industry I feel so passionate about, and to help promote a product I really believed in.

错误答案：I graduated four years ago from the University of Michigan, with a Bachelor’s in Biology – but I decided that wasn’t the right path for me. So I switched gears and got my first job, working in sales for a startup. Then I went on to work in marketing for a law firm. After that, I took a few months off to travel. Finally, I came back and worked in marketing again. And now, here I am, looking for a more challenging marketing role.

原因分析：不要按照时间顺序来介绍自己，而应该把焦点聚集在你的优势和长处，以及这些优势如何帮助你在工作中取得成功。最好是能够给出成功案例。

正确答案：I’m really energetic, and a great communicator. Working in sales for two years helped me build confidence, and taught me the importance of customer loyalty. I’ve also got a track record of success. In my last role, I launched a company newsletter, which helped us build on our existing relationships and create new ones. Because of this, we ended up seeing a revenue increase of 10% over two years. I’m also really interested in how companies can use web tools to better market themselves and would be committed to building on your existing platform.

错误答案：He was completely incompetent, and a nightmare to work with, which is why I’ve moved on

原因分析：千万要记住，今天面试你的这个人很有可能将来就会成为你的前老板。所以他们绝对不想雇佣一个以后会说他们坏话的员工。不要诋毁你的前雇主，给出一些积极的评价，并且说一说你从他身上学习到的东西。

正确答案：My last boss taught me the importance of time management – he didn’t pull any punches and was extremely deadline-driven. His no-nonsense attitude pushed me to work harder, and to meet deadlines I never even thought were possible.

错误答案：I can’t stand my boss or the work I’m doing.

原因分析：和上一题同样的原因，不要对你的前任雇主或者前一份工作作出负面的评论。回答时集中在积极的方面和你从中学到的经验。

正确答案：I’ve learned a lot from my current role, but now I’m looking for a new challenge, to broaden my horizons and to gain a new skill-set – all of which, I see the potential for in this job.

错误答案：“Relaxing on a beach in Maui,” or “Doing your job.”

原因分析：这道题其实没有所谓的正确答案。但是面试官问这个问题的目的是想考察你对未来的规划，是否能够专注工作和追求自己的事业，是否能够给公司创在价值。所以不要给出一些你的梦想，或者享受人生的方式，或者是开一个轻松的玩笑。努力给面试官留下一个努力工作，追求上进的印象。

正确答案：In five years I’d like to have an even better understanding of this industry. Also, I really love working with people. Ultimately, I’d like to be in some type of managerial role at this company, where I can use my people skills and industry knowledge to benefit the people working for me, and the company as a whole."

错误答案：I work too hard,” or for the comedian, “Blondes.”

原因分析：这个问题如果能够回答得好，那你就可以把你的缺点给扭转向好的方向。千万不要给出一些陈词滥调的答案，也不要开一些没意义的玩笑。举一个真实的例子来说明你的一个缺点并且你是如何克服它的。

正确答案：“I’ve never been very comfortable with public speaking – which as you know, can be a hindrance in the workplace. Realizing this was a problem, I asked my previous employer if I could enroll in a speech workshop. He said “yes.” I took the class and was able to overcome my lifelong fear. Since then, I’ve given lots of presentations to audiences of over a 100 high-level executives – I still don’t love it, but no one else can tell!

错误答案：In my last job I earned $35,000 – so, now I’m looking for $40,000

原因分析：如果可以的话，尽量避免提到确切的数字。在对于薪水的谈判中，先说出数字的人就失去了优势。首先你要再次重申你将会对这份工作做出的贡献，然后根据你之前调查的工资水平给出一个区间范围。

正确答案：I’m more interested in the role itself than the pay. That said, I’d expect to be paid the appropriate range for this role, based on my five years of experience. I also think a fair salary would bear in mind the high cost of living here in New York City.

错误答案：I’m the best candidate for the role.

原因分析：一定要反复重申你的资质足以胜任这份工作，同时要突出你独特的闪光点。

正确答案：I’ve been an Executive Assistant for the past ten years – my boss has said time and time again that without me, the organization would fall apart. I’ve also taken the time to educate myself on some of the software I regularly use (but didn’t really understand the ins and outs of). I’m an Excel wiz now, which means I can work faster, and take over some of what my boss would traditionally have had to do himself. What’s good enough for most people is never really good enough for me.

错误答案：I never finished law school – and everything that’s happened since has taught me that giving up, just because the going gets tough, is a huge mistake.”

原因分析：一定不要真的把一个你人生中的大错误或者最后悔的事情说出来，而要把目光集中在一个不太严重但是又对你专业发展有重大改变的事情上。

正确答案：When I was in college, I took an art class to supplement my curriculum. I didn’t take it very seriously and assumed that, compared to my Engineering classes, it would be a walk in the park. My failing grades at midterm showed me otherwise. I’d even jeopardized my scholarship status. I knew I had to get my act together. I spent the rest of the semester making up for it, ended up getting a decent grade in the class. I learned that no matter what I’m doing, I should strive to do it to the best of my ability. Otherwise, it’s not worth doing at all.

错误答案：I was so tired of working, and I needed a break,” or “I just can’t find a job.

原因分析：每次找工作的间隙其实都很难解释，你总不想别人认为你要么是懒要么就是找不到工作吧。你要努力把这段时间的找工作空窗期解释为你自己的选择，并且这个选择是出于非常正当和正确的原因。

正确答案：My work is important to me, so I won’t be satisfied with any old job. Instead of rushing to accept the first thing that comes my way, I’m taking my time and being selective to make sure my next role is the right one.

错误答案：I was most satisfied when I did well and got praised for my work.

原因分析：不要给出一些模糊的答案，一定要确切。想一些你之前工作中能和现在这份工作相关的，并且你自己做的好的事情。这是一个展现自己长处和证明你能给公司带来价值的绝好机会。

正确答案：I’m a people person. I was always happiest – and most satisfied – when I was interacting with customers, making sure I was able to meet their needs and giving them the best possible customer experience. It was my favorite part of the job, and it showed – I was rated as “Good or Excellent” 95% of the time. Part of the reason I’m interested in this job is that I know I’d have even more interaction with customers, on an even more critical level.

错误答案：A lack of stability. I felt like the place could collapse around me at any time.

原因分析：尽力避免说到你的前任雇主或公司的政治立场、文化背景或者财务状况等问题。因为无论事实是什么样的，这样的评价都会显得非常的消极和负面。你的回答是前一份工作中你不喜欢的地方，但必须同时确保这个情况不会出现在你的新工作中。

正确答案：There was nothing about my last job that I hated, but I guess there were some things I liked less than others. My previous role involved traveling at least twice a month. While I do love to travel, twice a month was a little exhausting – I didn’t like spending quite so much time out of the office. I’m happy to see that this role involves a lot less travel.

错误答案：I’m easy to get along with, so I’ve never had any kind of discord with another coworker.

原因分析：面试官其实并不喜欢听到这种特别简单直白的回答，而且他们也知道你说的并不全是事实。所以你给出的答案必须要具体，给出一个并不严重和恶劣的例子，并告诉他们你从中学到了什么。

正确答案：I used to lock heads with a fellow nurse in the INCU ward. We disagreed over a lot of things – from the care of patients to who got what shifts to how to speak with a child’s family. Our personalities just didn’t mesh. After three months of arguing, I pulled her aside and asked her to lunch. At lunch, we talked about our differences and why we weren’t getting along. It turns out, it was all about communication. We communicated differently and once we knew that, we began to work well together. I really believe that talking a problem through with someone can help solve any issue.

错误答案：Doing a good job and being rewarded for it.

原因分析：这个答案并不能够说是错误答案，只能说你白白浪费了这个展示自己的机会。这个问题的答案要能够展示出你对公司作出积极贡献的能力，所以不要给出一些简单又模糊的答案。

正确答案：I’ve always been motivated by the challenge of meeting a tough deadline – in my last role, I was responsible for a 100% success rate in terms of delivering our products on time and within budget. I know that this job is very fast-paced and deadline-driven – I’m more than up for the challenge. In fact, I thrive on it.

错误答案：I’m a really good listener.

原因分析：“是一个好的倾听者”或许是一种良好的性格品质，但是你的雇主有可能并不在乎，因为他们肯定不是雇你进来倾诉的。你要让你的答案更贴近你现在正在面试的这一份工作。最重要的还是不要忘记举例子。

正确答案：My friends would probably say that I’m extremely persistent – I’ve never been afraid to keep going back until I get what I want. When I worked as a program developer, recruiting keynote speakers for a major tech conference, I got one rejection after another – this was just the nature of the job. But I really wanted the big players – so I wouldn’t take no for an answer. I kept going back to them every time there was a new company on board or some new value proposition. Eventually, many of them actually said “yes” – the program turned out to be so great that we doubled our attendees from the year before. A lot of people might have given up after the first rejection, but it’s just not in my nature. If I know something is possible, I have to keep trying until I get it.”
