求职面试中怎样谈自己的缺点(中英文对照)

小型市场研究公司Worldwide Panel LLC准备招聘4名销售和IT技术人员，结果收到了大量简历。
Worldwide Panel LLC, a small market-research firm, is getting flooded with resumes for four vacancies in sales and information technology.

不过，招聘人员预计，在向应聘者发问“你最大的缺点是什么？”之后，会有很多人被淘汰。
However, officials expect to reject numerous applicants after asking them: 'What is your greatest weakness?'

Worldwide高级副总裁莫罗说，对这个问题，应聘者的回答往往并非缺点，他们因此过不了关。
Candidates often respond 'with something that is not a weakness,' say Christopher Morrow, senior vice president of the Calabasas, Calif., concern. 'It is a deal breaker.'

“缺点”问题是求职面试中最常见也最让人头痛的一个问题。
The weakness question represents the most common and most stressful one posed during interviews.

而在眼下就业市场疲软的情况下，不恰当的回答将降低你赢得工作的机会。  
Yet in today's weak job market, the wrong answer weakens your chances of winning employment.

一些应聘者会给出误以为老板会喜欢的答案，比如，“我的缺点是过于追求完美”。
Some people offer replies they mistakenly assume that bosses love, such as 'I am a perfectionist.'

对此埃里奇提醒说，这个回答会对你求职不利， 因为它显得你似乎没有能力授权给他人。
That response 'will be used against you' because you appear incapable of delegating, warns Joshua Ehrlich,

埃里奇是一个由纽约职业培训机构BeamPines Inc.和伦敦米德塞克斯大学合办的经理人硕士班培训项目的负责人。
dean of a master's program in executive coaching sponsored by BeamPines Inc., a New York coaching firm and Middlesex University in London.

为对付这个问题，可事先精心设计好一个答案，以凸显你适合所申请的这个职位。
A careful game plan could help you cope with the shortcoming query in a way that highlights your fit for a desired position.

莫罗说，出色回答这个问题的求职者表现出他们能够“主动行动，改善自己”。
Job seekers who field the question well demonstrate that they can 'take initiative and improve themselves,' Mr. Morrow says.

关键在哪里？那就是充分的准备。职场专家建议，你可以整理一下自己的缺点，挑出其中跟工作有关、但又不会妨碍你行使工作职责的方面。
The key? Thorough preparation. Career specialists suggest you take stock of your weaknesses, focusing on job-related ones that won't impede your ability to perform your duties.

费城大型职业介绍机构Right Management执行副总裁桑特拉说，
Tony Santora, an executive vice president for Right Management, a major outplacement firm in Philadelphia, says

2007年一位IT经理在参加面试时，在有关缺点的问题上败下阵来：他的回答居然是，“我真正的缺点是，我的烹饪技术很糟糕。”   
an information-technology manager flubbed a 2007 interview by choosing a personal foible as his reply: 'My true weakness is that I am a terrible cook.'

大声朗读答案，可以找朋友或自己用录像来一番角色扮演。不过，不要背诵自己的答案。
Rehearse your responses aloud, role play with a friend or videotape yourself -- but don't memorize your words.

加州管理培训师克劳斯说，回头看录像的时候，找出你觉得可以改善的地方，这样在练习时可以做得更好。  
As you review the video, look for aspects 'you would like to change so you can continue to get better as you practice,' says Peggy Klaus, a leadership coach in Berkeley, Calif.

那位IT经理在辛辛那提和其他求职者及咨询师一起参加Right Management的训练课程后改变了思路。
The IT manager changed his tune after practice sessions with fellow job seekers and a counselor in Cincinnati for Right Management.

他后来的回答是，由于每天长时间忙于工作，他发现自己很难及时了解世界大事。
He instead said he worked such long hours that he found it difficult to stay current with world events.

因此，他每天晚上在家花30分钟恶补这方面的信息。
So, he spent 30 minutes every evening catching up at home.

桑特拉说，当他后来在一家全球性制药企业求职时，他的回答让面试官很有共鸣。这家公司最后雇用了他。  
When the manager pursued an opportunity at a global drug maker, his revamped response 'really resonated with the interviewer,' says Mr. Santora. The manufacturer hired the man.

考虑目标公司的企业文化也同样重要。
It's equally important that you consider an employer's corporate culture.

纽约心理学家达特纳说，如果到一家初创公司面试，你可以说，“我的缺点是容易对日常的循规蹈矩感到厌烦”。  
While being interviewed by a start-up, 'you could say, 'My weakness is I get bored by routine,'' says Ben Dattner, a New York industrial psychologist.

克劳斯说，上个月，旧金山郊区一家非营利组织的一名热情的执行董事差一点儿毁掉他的机会，
Last month, an aspiring executive director of a nonprofit group in suburban San Francisco nearly jeopardized his selection.

原因是他在回答一个变相的弱点问题时忽视了这家机构的一项核心价值。克劳斯是这家机构的董事。
because his reply to a variation of the weakness question ignored one of its core values, according to Ms. Klaus, a board member there.

面试快结束时，克劳斯想知道他对那个职位的各个方面是否还有什么问题。“没问题，我想我都能解决，”这位求职者回答到。  
Near the end of his interview, she wondered whether he might have problems with any aspects of the job. 'No, I am confident I could do it all,' the prospect declared.

他这么轻率的回答让克劳斯有点失望，因为她感觉他对自己的缺点缺乏认识。
His flip comment dismayed Ms. Klaus, because she felt he lacked awareness of his weaknesses.

她说，他的回答让董事们怀疑他是否能听取批评性意见，而这家机构对这一点非常看重。
She says his response raised doubts among board members that 'he would be able to take critical feedback,' an attribute the organization values highly.

但因为这位申请人其他条件很好，董事会给了他第二次面试机会，并要求他对自己的缺点作更充分的说明。
Because the man was well-qualified, the board gave him a second interview -- and demanded a fuller explanation of his weak spots.

他说，他第一次面试时“对那个问题毫无准备，担心会说出什么大的致命缺陷，”
He said he had been 'unprepared for that question and nervous about coming out with a big fatal flaw,'

随后，他向面试官提到自己在工作遇到危急关头时，往往会过于仓促地做出决策。
then described his tendency to make decisions too fast during workplace crises.

董事会的担心消除了，最后安排他担任了这家非营利机构的负责工作。  
Board members' doubts disappeared, and they picked him for the nonprofit's top job.

理想的情况是，你在回答中应尽量避免使用“缺点”这样的词，同时还可以提到改正措施。
Ideally, your reply also should exclude the word 'weakness' and cover your corrective steps.

当面试官突然提出这样的刁钻问题时，你的身体语言也能反映一些问题。
When an interviewer pops this nerve-wracking query, your body language counts as well.

不当的肢体语言会削弱你的可信度。
The wrong nonverbal cues undercut your credibility.

某些求职者会蜷缩身体，茫然地瞟着房间四周，或是扭动出汗的手掌。
Certain candidates hunch over, glance furtively around the room or wring their sweaty palms.

阿德勒说，他们看起来就有点像遇到了他们没法对付的问题。
'They sort of look like they're being asked a question they can't handle,' says Mr. Adler.

心理学家皮尔森说，保持视线接触、正常呼吸和明朗的微笑可以让雇主觉得
Maintaining eye contact, regular breathing and a broad smile impress employers that

“你对有关弱点的问题有所准备”。皮尔森着有《停止自我摧毁》一书。
'you're prepared for the weakness question,' says psychotherapist Pat Pearson, author of 'Stop Self-Sabotage!'

同理，如果你回答问题前稍作停顿会让你看起来深思熟虑。
For the same reason, you seem thoughtful if you pause before responding

不过不要时间过长。莫罗警告说，如果你的停顿时间长达一分钟，那我已经能发现你的弱点了。
But don't wait too long. 'If you're going to take a minute,' Mr. Morrow cautions, 'I've just identified your weakness.'

BRIEF INTRODUCTION 简介

工作目标

　　有时候面试中招聘者会提问应聘者有关工作目标的问题，目的就是了解应聘者做事的风格，以及应聘者对这份工作的看法。当然由于应聘者还不是很了解自己所应聘的工作，在回答问题时并不一定面面俱到，因为在实际当中会碰到自己计划中所没有考虑到的问题，所以大致说明自己的计划目标就好了。

　　administrative 管理的         organizational 组织的
　　rapidly 迅速地                 superior 上级
　　supervise 监督，管理，指导     typical 典型的

　　在回答“How long will you stay with us?”这个问题时，特别要注意，不要用明确的时间概念来回答“我将在贵公司呆多久”。因为不管怎样回答，都会招致主考官进一步询问“为什么？”所以最保险的回答方式就是“How long I will stay with the company depends on whether the company and I are satisfied with each other.”

　　1) I think the most important thing is the interest
　　in the job. the opportunity of self-development
　　the opportunity of self-remoulding
　　我认为最重要的是我对这份工作的兴趣。
　　我认为最重要的是这份工作为我提供的自我发展的机会。
　　我认为最重要的是这份工作为我提供的自我完善的机会。

　　2) Could you project what you would like to be doing five years from now?
　　where you would like to be
　　where you want to be
　　你能设想一下五年后你会在做什么吗？
　　你能设想一下五年后你想做到哪一个层次吗？

刚踏出校门的社会新鲜人，由于尚无实际工作经验，面试者也无从询问“工作”本身的专业性问题，但是他可以藉由你所读学校、所选修的课程、在课业上的表现、以及所参加的社团活动等方面，来判断你是否具备做好这份工作的潜力与能力。回答这类问题，正是你进行“自我推销”的大好时机，一定要好好把握。
