1. "What can you tell me about yourself?" This is not an invitation to give 
your life history. The interviewer is looking for clues about your character , 

qualifications, ambitions, and motivations. The following is a good exampl e of 
a positive response. "In high school I was involved in competitive spor ts and I 

always tried to improve in each sport I participated in. As a colle ge student, 
I worked in a clothing store part-time and found that I could se ll things 

easily. The sale was important, but for me, it was even more impor tant to make 
sure that the customer was satisfied. It was not long before cu stomers came 

back to the store and specifically asked for me to help them. I 'm very 
competitive and it means a lot to me to be the best."   

　 　　

1．"关于你自己，你能告诉我些什么？"

 

这一问题并非在请你大谈你的个人历史。雇 主是在寻找有关你性

 

格、资历、志向和生活动力的线索。下面是一个积极正面回答的好 例子："在高中我参加各种竞争性体育

 

活动，并一直努力提高各项运动的成绩。大学期间 ，我曾在一家服装店打工，我发现我能轻而易举地将东

 

西推销出去。销售固然重要，但 对我来说，更重要的是要确信顾客能够满意。不久便有顾客返回那家服装

 

店点名让我为 他们服务。我很有竞争意识，力求完美对我很重要。"   

　 　　

2. "Why do you want to work for us? This is an obvious question and, if you have 

done your research on the company, you should be able to give a goo d reason. 
0rganize your reasons into several short sentences that clearly sp ell out your 

interest. "You are a leader in the field of electronics. Your c ompany is a 
Fortune 5O0 company. Your management is very progressive."   

　 　　

2．"你为什么想为我们工作？"

 

这是个明确的问题。如果你对该公司做过调查研究， 你应该能够给出很好

 

的理由。你要将你的理由编成几句简短的话清楚地表明你的兴趣。 如可答："你们在电子领域是领头人。

你们公司是《财富》杂志评选的 500

 

强之一。你们 的管理很先进。"   

　 　　

3. "Why should I hire you?" Once again, you should not be long winded, b ut you 
should provide a summary of your qualifications. Be positive and show  that you 

are capable of doing the job. Based on the internships that I have  participated 
in and the related part-time experiences I have had, I can do the job.   

　 　　

3．"为什么我应该聘用你？"

 

同样，你不应长篇大论，而应提供有关你资历的扼要说 明。要肯定自己，表

明你能胜任此项工作。如答："

 

根据我参加过的实习和与此相关的打 工经历。我能胜任。"   

　 　

　4. "How do you feel about your progress to date?" Never apologize for wh at 

you have done. "I think I did well in school. In fact, in a number of cou rses I 
received the highest exam scores in the class." "As an intern for the  X 

Company, I received some of the highest evaluations that had been given i n 
years.   

　 　

　4．"对于你至今所取得的进步你是怎样看的？"

 

绝不要对你以前的所作所为表示内疚 。如可答："我认为

我在学校表现不错。事实上，有好几门功课我的成绩居全班第一。" "在某公司实习时，我获得了该公司数

年来给予其雇员的好几项最高评价。"   

　 　

　5. "What would you like to be doing five years from now?" Know what you can 

realistically accomplish. You can find out by talking to others about wh at they 
accomplished in their first five years with a particular company. "I  hope to be 

the best I can be at my job and because many in this line of wor k are promoted 
to area manager, I am planning on that also."   

　 　

　5．"从今以后 5 年内你想做些什么？"

 

你要清楚你实际上能胜任什么。你可以事先和 他人交流一番。问

问他们在某公司的头 5 年都做了些什么。如可答。"

 

我希望能在我的职 位上尽力做好工作，由于在同一领

 

域工作的许多人都被提为区域负责人，所以我亦有此 打算。"   

　 　

　6. "What is your greatest weakness?" You cannot avoid this question by s aying 

that you do not have any, everyone has weaknesses. The best approach i s to 
admit your weakness but show that you are working on it and have a plan  to 

overcome it. If possible, cite a weakness that will work to the company' s 
advantage. "I' m such a perfectionist that I won't stop until a job is wel l 
done.   

　 　

　6．"你最大的弱点是什么？"

 

你不应该说你没有任何弱点，以此来回避这个问题；每 个人都有弱点。最

 

佳策略是承认你的弱点，但同时表明你在予以改进，并有克服弱点的 计划。可能的话，你可说出一项可能

会给公司带来好处的弱点，如可说："

 

我是一个完美 主义者。工作做得不漂亮，我是不会撒手的。"
