通過個性的問答，面試官可以初步判斷面試者的性格特點(diǎn)是否適合職位的需要。性格外向的人往往容易給人留下熱情活潑、思維敏捷但不深沉的印象，這類性格的人在面試時說話的節(jié)奏要適當(dāng)放慢，語言組織得當(dāng)，要注意給人以博學(xué)多才、見多識廣的良好形象。性格內(nèi)向的人則容易給人留下深沉有余、反應(yīng)遲緩的印象，在面試時，這類性格的人要力爭積極回答，并就某一重大觀點(diǎn)展開論述，以彌補(bǔ)自己性格上的不足。
常用句型：
Do you think you work well on a team?
A1: Yes, I think so. Working as part of a team is one of the most important elements in a successful career and life. If you can‘t work well on a team, you probably can‘t work and communicate well on a one-on-one basis either.
While teamwork is very important, I can work just as hard alone. Though more pressure to produce might exist, it would also prove to be a challenge. Whether I prefer to work as part of a team or alone depends on the best way to complete the job. Either way, I would work equally hard with the initiative required for success.
《白領(lǐng)英語900句》：關(guān)于你喜歡團(tuán)隊(duì)工作還是獨(dú)自工作是一個比較常問的問題，鑒于現(xiàn)在大多數(shù)企業(yè)都提倡團(tuán)隊(duì)建設(shè)，強(qiáng)調(diào)合作能力，因此你不能簡單的只回答yes或no.要說出一些合理的理由。
A2: Yes. I was captain of the basketball team in college-it was a great experience and a great chance to work with my peers outside of the classroom. I would keep track of new strategies, organize extra practices, and arrange social events for the team. I always thought it was important for the team to spend time together off the court-we got to know each other better, and this helped us work together in games.
《白領(lǐng)英語900句》：直接用事例來說明"喜歡團(tuán)隊(duì)工作"是再好不過的，你的面試官直接從例子中了解你的性格特征，進(jìn)而做出判斷。因此這樣的回答可以為你的面試加分哦。
A3: No one lives in an isolated society .A business is a small society ,all the members of which are interdependent because they must help each other and support each other in their work. As for as I‘m concerned, I am always willing to lend my hand to others and modest enough to learn from others。
《白領(lǐng)英語900句》：這樣的回答顯然沒有前面那么老練，態(tài)度也比較謙遜，雖然沒有用具體的事例但是從社會的角度表明自己的觀點(diǎn)，語言比較樸實(shí)自然。
A4: Yes, I am a really good team player, and appreciate having the resources of a fantastic team all working towards the same outcome. I feel comfortable in groups, and enjoy team activities, such as brainstorming, name generation, coming up with strategic platforms together, and identifying new trends in the marketplace. In my last job, I worked for a famous branding identity company, and some of our meetings would last for days and days. I know that your company is also structured around a true team concept, and would love to hear more about it.
《白領(lǐng)英語900句》：從原先的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)中找出一個代表性的例子來表達(dá)，并在最后提到所面試的公司是一個強(qiáng)調(diào)團(tuán)隊(duì)合作的公司，會讓面試官覺得你來此之前了解過他們的公司。是有備而來，這樣的回答也為你加了不少的印象分哦。branding identity company（品牌設(shè)計(jì)公司）
Do you like to work with facts and figures?
A1: Absolutely. That‘s the basis of this work. I‘ve always had a flair for the numbers side of the business, and my thought processes are very analytical and precise. Accurate books and records are an essential management tool and can help to identify areas that need improvement.
《白領(lǐng)英語900句》：如果你喜歡與數(shù)字打交道或者你的工作是和數(shù)字有關(guān)的，比如財務(wù)，審計(jì)等等，你可以選用以上這種回答。Flair（才能）；precise(精確的)
A2: Facts and figures are important. I respect them, I‘m good with them, but I don‘t get bogged down in them. I always read the reports, and I‘m quick to spot inconsistencies and errors. 1 don‘t check every number twice, though, because that‘s not what produces results. Financial records are like X rays that allow a doctor to make a diagnosis. I leave the preparation to the skilled technicians. inconsistency(矛盾)
《白領(lǐng)英語900句》：如果你不喜歡數(shù)字，或者你所應(yīng)聘的職位并不需要計(jì)算，分析這些素質(zhì)要求，你可以這樣委婉地回答?？隙ㄊ聦?shí)和數(shù)字的重要性，又很巧妙地把這個問題用一個X光比喻來表明自己的觀點(diǎn)。為面試增色不少。
What career or business would you consider if you were starting over again?
A1: I like what I‘m doing now. I chose it, and it has worked out well for me. I suppose the only other work I would consider is___________ .
《白領(lǐng)英語900句》：在這個問題中，你可以提一些與你應(yīng)聘相關(guān)的工作，舉個例子，如果這家公司是生產(chǎn)醫(yī)療器械，那你后面的回答可以是". . .being a healthcare professional, because my work in this field has shown me that the work we are doing is important and that I do it well."這是最直接，最能贏得面試官滿意的回答。
A2： Although I‘m well-suited to accounting，I like to design and build things. I‘ve remodeled our kitchen and built a sun room addition as well as play equipment for my kids. I‘ve often thought 1 might have gone into architecture or drafting and design if I hadn‘t gone to business school. If I had, I‘d probably be running a business on the side!
《白領(lǐng)英語900句》：當(dāng)然，你也可以談及你所喜歡并擅長的其他相關(guān)領(lǐng)域，說不定這個技能或者才能可以贏得面試官的欣賞?；蛟S也會因?yàn)檫@個特長而錄用了你。
Do you consider yourself a leader? Why or why not?
A1: Oh, yes, absolutely I have all of the leadership qualities. I‘m extroverted, but I also happen to be a terrific listener I consider myself a "big-idea" person, but I can also be hard-nosed and practical when necessary. I was promoted to senior vice president five years ago, and turned a division that was limping along aimlessly into a profitable contender. I helped our team generate $20 million of new business revenues, and even more significantly, retain $80 million of current business.
《白領(lǐng)英語900句》：這種回答適合于有過管理經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人，但是注意的是不要夸夸其談自己的管理能力如何如何，舉出你的一些業(yè)績，用事實(shí)說話。這個回答好在雖然肯定自己的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能但也不忘說自己是一個"a terrific listener(很好的傾聽者)自信而不乏謙遜；"hard-nosed"就是inflexible, a little bit stubborn.
A2: I don‘t think that you can be considered a leader until you‘ve actually led a team at a company. Leaders are made, not born. But I am a leader in waiting. In college, I was on the student council. I had gained the "freshman fifteen" (pounds), and I really felt that all of the fried food in the school cafeteria was partly to blame. So I led the drive to get more nutritionally balanced foods on the menu. This involved collecting petitions from the students and discussing the situation with several members of the administration. Until I become a leader at your company. I‘m determined to learn the ropes from the recognized leaders in your department.
《白領(lǐng)英語900句》：那么對于沒有任何工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)的學(xué)生來說，又該如何去回答這個問題呢？大家自己揣摩下這個回答的思路"Leaders are made, not born. But I am a leader in waiting."盡管我沒有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)團(tuán)隊(duì)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，但是我時刻準(zhǔn)備著。在學(xué)校就從各個方面鍛煉自己的各方面能力，然后他列舉自己在學(xué)生會中一次提倡"食堂食物營養(yǎng)"的活動組織經(jīng)驗(yàn)。這樣的回答我想一定會讓面試官心理暗暗點(diǎn)頭。petition（情愿書）
What are your greatest strengths and weakness?
A1: I‘m a great worker. I‘m punctual, efficient, upbeat, and diligent. These skills make me a perfect candidate for this job. I‘ve never missed a deadline. I never received a word of negative feedback at my old job. My only real weakness is that I‘m such a perfectionist.
《白領(lǐng)英語900句》：在這個問題中，這樣的回答顯得單調(diào)乏味，幾個形容詞拼在一起，沒有多大的震撼力，面試官聽完就忘了你的最大優(yōu)點(diǎn)是什么。所以這樣的回答不出彩。
A2: My greatest strength is persistence, in my old job, I was on the audit team of a major cosmetics company. The team leader always gave me the fact-finding missions that had stumped everyone else. However, I sometimes try to take on too many projects at once, and it‘s difficult for me to admit that I can‘t handle my workload. I had to learn that there are times when the best thing to do is delegate tasks to other people.
《白領(lǐng)英語900句》：在這個回答中，與第一個回答正好相反，描述了她一個突出的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，而且不但說了缺點(diǎn)，而且還解釋了如何去克服它們。面試的目的是公平看待你所說的成功事例和你具備的能力，并且給面試官一定的空間去獨(dú)立判斷你們。換句話說就是不要告訴你的面試官你是怎么想的，你的一大段蒼白無力的形容詞列舉只會讓面試官一頭霧水，不知道你有哪些突出的性格。其實(shí)只要告訴他們一個最有力的生活或工作中的例子就足夠了，這樣反而會讓你的面試事半功倍。從眾多平平的面試者中脫穎而出。
How would your friends describe you?
A1: They say Mr. Sun is a friendly, sensitive, caring and determined person.
《白領(lǐng)英語900句》：大多數(shù)的人的第一反映都會這樣回答，其實(shí)，面試官并不是真的想知道你的朋友是怎么形容你的性格。因此這種回答并不合適。面試官從你的回答中去體會你所說的性格品質(zhì)。尤其是是否具有應(yīng)聘職位所需的性格特點(diǎn)，因此盡量使用適當(dāng)?shù)脑~語形容自己的個性特點(diǎn)。例如，應(yīng)試者如果應(yīng)聘秘書的職位，那么他（她）在形容自己的個性特點(diǎn)時應(yīng)盡量選用類似efficient （有效率的）、careful（辦事仔細(xì)的）、responsible（負(fù)責(zé)的）等詞語而不應(yīng)該選用purposeful（有目的的）或 liberal（心胸寬大的）等不著邊際的詞語。并且用詳細(xì)的事例來證明，增加可信度和說服力。以下兩個回答可以供大家參考：
A2: I‘m pretty certain that most of them would call me outgoing and gregarious. I tend to be camp counselor of the group, and arrange activities and play dates for us. For example, last year, I organized a four-day biking tour or Vancouver for five of my closest friends. It was a great bonding experience, and we‘re determined to do it again over the summer.
A3: I think that most people who meet me quickly realize that I‘m pretty outgoing. I make friends easily, and I‘m not exactly shy. I also happen to think that being extroverted is practically a pre-requisite for doing well in our business. I‘ve always found it beneficial in terms of bringing in new clients, and putting current clients at ease. So far, you both feel pretty comfortable with me.
基本詞匯：
open-minded 開明的，開放的

cooperative and aggressive 合作度和進(jìn)取心
extroverted and introverted外向的,內(nèi)向的
initiative and creative 干事主動的，有想象力的
self-motivated 上進(jìn)心
無限拓展：
"How would you describe yourself?"
A: I‘m a self-motivated person who is very goal oriented. In my junior year of college, I knew that I wanted an internship at a consulting firm. One of my friends who was a senior told me that a certain firm really valued her experience as president of the campus geology club, I was a business and accounting major, so I ran for treasurer of Future Leaders of America. I gained valuable experience in keeping financial records, and I also got to head our first fundraiser. What a great experience and, as you can see from my resume, I did get to work for that consulting firm.
這個回答的巧妙就在于雖然敘述這個故事只需要一分鐘，但是面試官就可以從中發(fā)現(xiàn)他所具備的各種能力：領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力，決策力，制定并達(dá)成目標(biāo)的能力，自我激勵的能力，解決問題的能力和交流能力。而這些遠(yuǎn)比你用一個形容詞來的生動和有感染力。
你的個人情況面試官可以從你的簡歷中，各種職業(yè)性格測評卷中了解，但是你實(shí)際工作中所表現(xiàn)的性格品質(zhì)，你的情商都是通過與你的交談溝通中，在回答whys和hows這些問題中慢慢揣測出來的。因此如果你只是說簡單的回答或者僅運(yùn)用一堆詞藻華麗的形容詞這些都不能讓面試官很好的了解你，也不能判斷出你是否適合這項(xiàng)工作。在此我們再次強(qiáng)調(diào)，用例子去深深打動你的面試官，即使你的語言表達(dá)并不完美。所以最好在應(yīng)聘前你就能對此多做準(zhǔn)備，包括你的缺點(diǎn)你的性格特點(diǎn)，你的一些價值觀人生觀，你用什么例子去說明，都要一一想好,未雨綢繆，運(yùn)籌幃幄才能決勝千里。I am a excellent candidate in waiting.
