雙語財經新聞 第60期:談談你自己的情況(1)
“So，why Don’t you tell me about yourself?” is the most frequently asked interview question. It’s a question that most interviewees expect and the one they have the most difficulty answering. Though one could answer this open-ended question in a myriad of ways, the key to answering this question or any other interview question is to offer a response that supports your career objective. This means that you shouldn’t respond with comments about your hobbies, spouse, or extra curricular activities. Trust me, interviewers aren’t interested.
Interviewers use the interview process as a vehicle to eliminate your candidacy. Every question they ask is used to differentiate your skills, experience, and personality with that of other candidates. They want to determine if what you have to offer will mesh with the organization’s mission and goals.
面試官是將面試程序作爲排除你的候選資格的一種手段。他們提出的每一個 問題都被用來將你的技能、經歷和個性與其他候選人區別開來；他們想要確定你所能提供的一切是否符合公司的宗旨和發展目標。If answered with care, your response to the question, “So, why Don’t you tell me about yourself?” could compliment the interviewers needs as well as support your agenda. This is a question you should be prepared to answer as opposed to attempting to “wing it”.
如果能夠謹慎回答的話，對於“爲什麼不談談你自己的情況呢? ”這個問題的答 案可以既恭維一下面試官,也支持了你的計劃。對於這個問題的回答,你應該認真 準備，而不是試圖即興發揮。
Follow the four easy steps outlined below to ensure your response will grab the interviewers attention.
遵循下面列出的4個簡單步驟，將確保你的回答能夠引起面試官的注意。1. Provide a brief introduction.
1.進行簡單的自我介紹。Introduce attributes that are key to the open position.
介紹一下你的特點與這個職位密切相關之處。Sample introduction: During my 10 years’ of experience as a sales manager, I have mastered the ability to coach, train, and motivate sales teams into reaching corporate goals.
例如:在我做銷售經理的10￥經歷中，我掌握了指導、訓練、激發銷售團隊去全 力實現公司發展目標的能力。2. Provide a career summary of your most recent work history.
2.簡單介紹一下你最近的工作經歷。Your career summary is the “meat” of your response, so it must support your job objective and it must be compelling. Keep your response limited to your current experience. Don’t go back more than 10 years.
你的職業經歷是你的回答的“核心”,因此它必須能夠支持你的工作目標，必須 引人注目。要將你的回答限定在最近的工作經歷上，不要回顧到10年以前。Sample career summary: Most recently, at The Widget Corporation, I was challenged with turning around a stagnant territory that ranked last in sates in the Northeastern region. Using strategies that have worked in the past, I developed an aggressive sales campaign that focused on cultivating new accounts and nurturing the existing client base. The results were tremendous. Within six months my sales team and I were able to revitalize the territory and boost sales by 65%.
例如:最近，在微鉅公司，我接受了一項挑戰使一個在東北地區的銷售額 排名墊底的不景氣部門扭虧爲盈。利用在以往曾經奏效的策略，我發起了一場有侵 略性的銷售大戰，在鞏固現有客戶的基礎上,將目標集中於開發新項目。成效非常 顯著。在外月的時間內，我和我的銷售團隊就使這個部門起死回生，使銷售額增長 了65%。
