我叫歪歪
职场英语回答技巧1. Don't give a cop-out answer不要回避问题
Please don't give tired answers like, "My
greatest weakness is that I'm too much of a perfectionist/workaholic." Perhaps
it is true for you, but unfortunately, it may bring false to the interviewer who
is used to hearing these genericanswers that come off as a way to dodgethe
question.
请不要给千篇一律的回答,比如:“我最大的缺点是过于追求完美/工作太拼命。”也许这是真实回答,但不幸的是,它会给面试官错误信息,他们习惯了听这些通用回答,会以为你想回避这个问题。
职场英语回答技巧2. Be honest要诚实
Dig deep into yourself and figure out what your true weaknesses are at work. Write them down on a sheet of paper, and figure out which ones you can use in an interview. If you state a weakness you've struggled with, your answer will sound more honest. Some things that will help you come up with true weaknesses is to look at some of the challenges you have faced in your previous jobs or think about constructivecriticism you've received from a manager.
深入挖掘自己,找到真正的缺点。把它们写在纸上,看看哪些可以在面试的时候说。如果你说的是让你烦扰的缺点,听上去会更诚实。帮助你想到真正缺点的事是看你在以前工作中遇到的困难或想想经理对你的有用批评。
职场英语回答技巧3. Avoid deal breakers不要说会影响面试的缺点
Although we mention that you should be
honest, it's also good to remember that there is such a thing as being too
honest. You need to avoid weaknesses that will hurt your chances of getting the
job. For example, say if you're applying for an HR position and you say that
you're not good with people, or if you're trying for a sales job and you say you
are bad at negotiating. This doesn't mean that you have to make up a weakness,
but it's just preferable for you to pick another weakness that isn't a deal
breaker.
虽然我们刚才提到你应该诚实,但也要记住别太诚实。你要避开那些会影响你得到工作的缺点。例如,申请人力资源的职位却说不善于与人相处,或者想做销售却说不擅协商。不是让你一定要编缺点,但是挑个不会影响职场英语面试的缺点会好一些。
4. Talk about your attempts to overcome your weakness要谈到你为克服缺点做的努力
Always talk about the steps you have taken to
overcome your weakness. This is your chance to show the interviewer that
although you have your flaws, you are proactiveand resourcefulenough to overcome
them. In a way, your effort to conqueryour weaknesses will be looked at as a
strength.
要说你为克服缺点做的事。这是你向面试官证明的机会,让他们知道虽然你有缺点,但你会主动克服缺点,也有办法克服它们。在某种程度上,你为克服缺点做的努力会被视作优点。更多关于英语学习的基础入门知识、能力提升技巧、实用英语方面的相关内容,小编会持续更新。祝愿各位都能认真学习。
