面试时,大家会面对形形色色的问题,而最让人瞠目结舌的,总是是一些最简单和最容易见到的题目,譬如请你自我介绍一下.大部分应征者的反应是我应该怎么样作答呢?

其实要了解应付此问题,就要先做好筹备You'll have a better chance of impressing the interviewer1 if you think about this question before the interview.

The first thing to realize is that the question, Tell me about yourself, provides you with a great chance to promote2 your strong points. This is particularly important when applying for a job that is different from what you have done in the past. You need to show the interviewer that your previous jobs provide you with skills that can be used in the new job.

WHAT TO TALK about 怎么样介绍?

你可以选择三个重点来介绍自己,但防止重复履历中曾提及的资料。Around this skeleton3 should be the meat of your answer; your less obvious, but important skills. Here are some of the skills that you might want to mention. 你可以介绍自己是:

Problem solver 解决问题能手

Creative thinker4 充满创意

Accurate5 谨慎

People person 与人相处融洽

Team player 合群

Organized 组织力高

This doesn't mean that you just say, I'm a great problem solver. Instead, explain how you used your problem-solving skills at your previous job. 事例比自我夸耀更能说明问题。

自我介绍的时间不要过长,最好是一至三分钟。刚开始你或许会感觉时间太长,但当你真的要介绍自己三项特质时,你就会发现时间不够用了。

WHAT TO SAY 应怎么说?

What you actually say, in terms of the words you use, is something that you have to decide. You need to create an answer that sounds natural and, at the same time, interesting. 背答案估计无人想听。The way to determine whether your answer is natural is simply by writing a first draft6 of the answer and then read it out loud. When you do this, you'll probably spot things that you have to change.

当你构思答案时,你要想想应该怎么样说出,内容要让人有兴趣,不沉闷,防止滔滔不绝地只说我们的强项。

Here are some final things to think about when answering the question Tell me about yourself.

Mention major awards or accomplishments7 that relate to your career;

讲解工作上的要紧收获或奖项

Promote your strengths, but do not mention any of your weaknesses;

营销推广我们的长处,但不要提及我们的弱点

Try to be funny if you can, but don't force it;

可以的话,尽可能说得幽默有趣

Summarize8 your career and education, but don't recite9 a list;

概括说出你的工作经验和学历,但切勿背诵

Don't start with your date of birth;

不需要提及你的出过生日期

Avoid information that is not career-related. The fact that you own a dog won't get you a job

防止说一些与职业无关的事,比如:你有一只狗,这并不可以为你争取到工作

Always answer this question

常常考虑和解答这条问题

Try to sound natural

对答要自然

Relax and enjoy yourself!

放松心情,尽力而为。祝你面试成功
