第二部分(5~7问)
问:告诉我,你最不喜欢的经理或者教授是什么样的。答:嗯,从经理的角
度来说,我十分幸运。我与我的教授们没什么过节。我走出大学校门的第一份工作
是和一个难相处的经理一起工作。假如你走进他办公室向他请教,他会感到你在打
扰他工作。所以,我们反而学会了互相帮助。我并不是说我很不喜欢他,因为在很
多方面,他的确是个好经理,但我却宁愿他和我们多接近并给予我们更多的指点。
回答这个问题有点像穿越布满地雷的雷区一样,所以要当心!记住面试官并不
是想了解你以前的上司,他或她想了解的是你对他们的评价。虽然面试官也许会引
诱你去批评你以前的上司,但这样做会产生许多问题。尽管你的说法是完全真实和
公平的,但面试官会认为你要么是与别人相处得不好,要么就是纯粹在指责别人。
在这种困境中最好的解决方法就是选择一个并不太反面的例子,简单地提及它,然
后,把回答的重点放在你从这些经历中学到了什么。
Q:Tell me about your leastfavorite manager or professor.
A:Well, I ve been pretty fortunate as far as managers go, and I didn
t have any problems with my professors. In my first job out of college
I worked with a manager who was pretty inaccessible. If you walked into
his office to ask a question, you got the sense that you were bothering
him, so we just learned to get help from each other instead. I wouldn't
say he was my least favorite manager, because he was a good manager in
a lot of ways, but I would have preferred that he'd made himself more available
to us and given us more direction.
问:你遇到过的雇主中,谁最严厉,为什么?
答:那该是富兰克林协会的汉森女士了。当忙碌的时候,她会把人推向极限,
而且她对细节要求严格。但是她总是很公正,并且会奖励工作做得好、勤劳的人。
她是一个严格的老板,但也是一个好老板。
再一次提醒你,无论如何你也要避免对你前任的老板作任何否定的评价。像这
位应聘者那样,绕过问题,回答积极乐观的一面。
Q:Who's the toughest employer you ve ever had, and why?
A:That would be Ms. Henson at Franklin Associates. She'd push people
to their limits when things got busy, and she was a stickler for detail.
But she was always fair, and she rewarded good, hard work. I'd call her
a tough boss, but a good boss.
问:你是如何处理与老板之间的紧张关系的?
答:我惟一感到的紧张那次就是我们都很忙碌,以致于无法互相了解对方的情
况。我的老板不知道我正与另一位顾客因某些问题而纠缠不清,要求我在短期内完
成大量的工作。我坚信员工会议的重要性,同事间应了解并尊重相互之间的时间需
求。
在这里,最安全的做法就是举一个例子,说明你与你的老板产生误会时,你是
如何去解决的。面试官想了解你是怎样避免类似的问题再次发生的。
Q:How do you handle tension with your boss?
A:The only tension Ive ever felt was once when we both got too busy
to keep each other informed.My boss overcommitted me with a short deadline,not
knowing that I was bogged down with another client problem.I believe firmly
in the importance of staff meetings so that coworkers can respect the demands
on each other's time.
