51問:你的私人生活是否存在對你的職業造成影響的問題?
答:我總是很注意把自己的私人生活與職業生活分開。愛思范文25http://fanwen.is97.com我認為在給病人治病時,重要的是保持客觀。一個臨床醫生應該能夠控制自己的感情而不帶偏見地給病人看病。假如你把個人的問題或感受發泄到病人的身上,那只能對病人造成傷害。這個問題對于在醫療服務領域工作的人尤為重要。面試官想知道作為一個獨立個體,你是如何完善你的人格的。假如你有不能克服的個人問題,這些問題就會影響你和你病人的關系,也有可能影響你對病人的診斷,同時影響你的治療方案和治療建議。使面試官深信你能把私人的感受和職業行為分開來。例如,假如你不能積極處理好危急關頭的事情,你就不可能真正幫助你的病人面對創傷問題,因為那會引發你太多個人的強烈情緒。
q: are there any issues from your personal life that might potentially have an impact on your professional career?
a: i’m always careful to separate my personal life from my professional life. i believe its important to remain objective when treating patient s. a therapist should always be able to take an emotional step back in order to make an unbiased assessment of a patient. it only hurts the patient when you try to project your own issues and feelings onto that patient.
52問:什么時候你的交往能力受到了考驗?
答:一次一個顧客要求退還那件她明顯已穿過的晚裝的錢。她抱怨說衣服干洗后變了另一種顏色,而洗衣服的人告訴她是布料不好。雖然我認為她是不誠實的,但我馬上就退還她的錢。我認為不讓別的顧客聽到她的話而懷疑我們的高質量產品更為重要。敘述你客觀地解決和顧客或伙伴的一個矛盾的實例。你是怎樣表現你的同情心及如何建立和諧氣氛的?
q: when have your skills in diplomacy been put to the test?
a: a customer came in once and demanded money back for an evening dress that had apparently been worn. she claimed it was a different color after dry cleaning and that the cleaner said the fabric was faulty. i quickly told her wed happily return her money, even though i didn’t think she was being honest. i decided it was more important to keep other customers from hearing her and maybe doubting our high quality merchandise.
53問:告訴我某次你不得不延長工作期限的情形。
答:一次工作已經進行兩周了,可是在工作進行當中,很明顯地顧客又要求我們多加幾項特性。我重新和顧客商談,記下他的目的和要求,給他一張像菜單一樣的價格表,那上面他可以有更多的選擇,但必須付更多的錢和等待更長的時間。他選擇了一個他認為改變要作出3個星期相應調整的中間檔次。為了使一項工程的全部目標圓滿地實現,描述一下你的責任感和自覺性。假如你不調整工作期限的話,將會使什么目標大打折扣?
q: tell me about a time you had to extend a deadline.
a: two weeks into a job, it was clear that our client expected us to add more features as we went along. i renegotiated with the client, outlined his goals, and showed him a price structure similar to a menu, from which he could choose more features at a higher cost and in a longer time frame. he opted for something in the middle that he understood would cause a three week adjustment to the schedule.
54問:你想努力提高或改變什么方面的個人技巧或工作習慣呢?
答:我必須學會拒絕。我過去常愛幫助別人,甚至到了別人濫用我的好意的地步。現在我向能有回報的人提供幫助。總的來說,交換是比較公平的。隨著時間的推移,我們辦公室人員的合作也大大提高了。(責任編輯:愛思范文http://fanwen.is97.com)
----這個問題與“敘述你在最近的工作上是如何改進職業技能”相似。可是,在這里你很可能想談及從最早的工作或在相對較久遠的時間里,你技能的發展,但要使面試官相信這種特殊的工作習慣不再是一種工作阻礙了。
q: what personal skill or work habit have you struggled to improve?
a: i had to learn to say no. i used to be helpful to the point that other staff abused my goodwill. now i offer to help by countering with something id like help on in return. on balance i believe the tradeoff is more equi!----, and cooperation in our office has improved over time.
55問:你在桌上放什么書?
答:我放一本好的字典在桌上,我也會放一本struck and white,這是一本好的參考書,能查找高中或大學里學過但又忘掉的語法知識,或者在遇到特別困難的情形也可使用。招聘者可能有興趣判定你對你的職業有多重視。一本好字典和好的參考書對于一個從事寫作的人來說是手頭必備書,你可能也會把喜愛的小說放到桌上。
q: what books do you keep on your desk?

56問:你愿意到另外一個城市定居嗎?
答:我寧愿留在這里,不過可能的話我會考慮一下。盡管在某些初次面試中,你也許會被問到許多像這種能代表你利益的問題。盡管這樣的問題對一個初次面試的人來說不公平,回答不好的話,你也許什么都得不到,甚至還會失去所有的東西。假如你在初次面試時被突然地問到這樣的問題,只需說些如“當然有可能”或者“我愿意考慮一下”之類的話。后來,如果你得到了這份工作,你會知道具體的工作條件,然后決定你是否愿意接受這個職位。記住,在提供工作階段,你有大部分的談判權利,而且雇主也許會很愿意為你提供你所需要的東西。如果那些不成問題,你也許會想說明一下,經過重新考慮,你已決定了不遷往別處,但是你想讓雇主知道可以考慮把你安排在其他的在將來開放的職位上。
q: would you be willing to relocate to another city?
a: i’d prefer to be based here, but its certainly possibility i’d be willing to consider.
57問:經常需要出差的工作適合你的生活方式嗎?
答:對我或我的家庭來說,這種經常需要出差的顧問工作是完全沒有問題的。我的妻子是航班上的乘務員,我們倆都無法過朝九晚五的生活。
q: does the frequent travel required for this work fit into your lifestyle?
a: the frequent travel in this consulting position is no problem for me or my family. my wife is an airline flight attendant, so neither of us follows the typical nine to five routine.
58問:你的腦袋是什么顏色的?
答:我的腦袋是紅色的,因為我總是充滿激情,我時刻都在為新的計劃和主意而燃燒。
----小心你隨時都會被問到一些滑稽的問題。面試官的目的不是想難倒你,而是發現這一刻你會作出什么反應。當問一些標準的問題時,因為人們準備過了,面試官就很難去真正了解一個人。例如,一個廣告業招聘者,就會盡可能避免這種情況。回答這種問題不存在對或錯。實際上,招聘者不會真正在乎你的回答。他只是不想聽到如:“我不知道,我想它是藍色的,因我是這樣想像的”這樣的回答,關鍵是要看你是否有創意和如何思考,一定要解釋你為什么這樣回答。(責任編輯:愛思范文http://fanwen.is97.com)
q: what color is your brain?
a: my brain is red because i’m always hot. i’m always on fire with new plans and ideas.
59問:假如你一進電梯,就發現電梯里的人都面向電梯壁,你會怎么做?
答:我想我會向前看并大聲說:“你們知道,向前看要舒服得多。”像廣告和制圖這種創意性領域里的面試是不同于別的工作面試的。廣告業招聘者會采用不同的面試形式和步驟,通常是引導一種行為式的面試。招聘者問這類問題,是要發掘在特別真實的生活環境中你的行為是什么樣的。
q: if you got on an elevator where everyone was facing the back, what would you do?
a: i think i’d face the front anyway and say aloud, “its really much more comfor!---- facing forward, you know. ”
60問:考慮一下以下的情景:一天晚上,你工作到很晚,是留在辦公室最后的一個人。你接到一個找管理人員的緊急電話,是銷售代表打來的,現在他正在會見一個潛在的客戶。他要對一個問題作出答復,否則的話,明天就太晚了。你能回答這個問題,但這超出了你應有的職權范圍。這種情況下你會作出什么反應?答:我會收集所有有關的資料、文件證明,然后回答他這個問題。第二天早上我會給管理人員留張紙條,告訴他這件事的詳情,說明我所作的決定和解釋我的思考過程。這個回答顯示出求職者對他自己的能力充滿信心,而且他在處理緊急事件的時候是靠得住的。同樣,你的回答應表明,在棘手的情況下,你絕不膽怯做一名決策者,即使這種情況下的決定超出你的職權范圍。
