　　Tell me about yourself: How to answer this difficult question

　　面試時最令人啞口無言的問題 - 請你自我介紹一下

　　A common interview question that can leave people speechless is "Tell me about yourself." The immediate response for many people is: where do I start?

　　面試時，我們會面對形形色色的問題，而最令人啞口無言的，往往是一些最簡單和最常見的題目，如「請你自我介紹一下」。大多數(shù)應(yīng)征者的實時反應(yīng)是 - 「我應(yīng)該怎樣開始作答呢?」

　　The basic answer about where to start is with preparation. You'll have a better chance of impressing the interviewer if you think about this question before the interview.

　　其實要懂得應(yīng)對此問題，就要先做好準(zhǔn)備，認真考慮問題的涵意。這是一個最好的機會，讓你在雇主面前留下好印象。

　　The first thing to realize is that the question, "Tell me about yourself," provides you with a great chance to promote your strong points. This is particularly important when applying for a job that is different from what you have done in the past. You need to show the interviewer that your previous jobs provide you with skills that can be used in the new job.

　　「請你自我介紹一下?！惯@條問題當(dāng)中有很大的發(fā)揮空間。對于轉(zhuǎn)行的人士而言，就更加重要了。因為他們可以藉此向雇主說明過往的工作經(jīng)驗和技巧，能怎樣應(yīng)用于新工作上，說服雇主聘請他們。

　　WHAT TO TALK ABOUT 怎樣介紹?

　　With that in mind, make a list of the three most important things you want the interviewer to know about you. Avoid focusing on simple references to things that are already on your resume, although this information should form the skeleton of your answer. Around this skeleton should be the meat of your answer; your less obvious, but important skills. Here are some of the skills that you might want to mention:

　　你可以選擇三個重點來介紹自己，但避免重復(fù)履歷中曾提及的資料。應(yīng)盡量把你不大明顯但重要的技能「推而廣之」。以下為你提供一些參考。

　　你可以介紹自己是……

　　Problem solver 解決問題能手

　　Creative thinker 充滿創(chuàng)意

　　Accurate 小心謹慎

　　People person 與人相處融洽

　　Team player 合群

　　Organised 組織力高

　　This doesn't mean that you just say, "I'm a great problem solver." Instead, explain how you used your problem-solving skills at your previous job.

　　當(dāng)然你不可能單單說自己是一個解決問題的能手就罷了，你必須加以解釋和說明，增強說服力。例如：你可以列舉一些曾為以前公司解決重要問題的事例。

　　Keep your answer short ¡V about one to three minutes is generally considered good. That may not seem like much at first, but you'll probably discover that you don't have enough time once you start covering three things you want to highlight.

　　自我介紹的時間不要過長，最好是一至三分鐘。最初你可能會覺得時間太長，但當(dāng)你真正要介紹自己三項特質(zhì)時，你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)時間不夠用了。

　　WHAT TO SAY 應(yīng)說甚么?

　　What you actually say, in terms of the words you use, is something that you have to decide. You need to create an answer that sounds natural and, at the same time, interesting.

　　在自我介紹時，應(yīng)該說甚么?應(yīng)該怎樣構(gòu)思呢?你的答案最好是自然，不要過分自夸，也不用過分謙虛，但必須令人感興趣。

　　The way to determine whether your answer is natural is simply by writing a first draft of the answer and then read it out loud. When you do this, you'll probably spot things that you have to change.

　　你最好先寫下一個「自我介紹」的初稿，然后大聲地朗讀。當(dāng)你這樣做時，你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)須要修正的地方。

　　Don't worry too much about making the written answer perfect. You're not going to recite it from paper. Instead, this is just a chance for you to determine the length of your answer.

　　練習(xí)時，你無須介懷自己所寫的答案不夠完美，因為當(dāng)你面試時，你不會原文照讀的。這只是一個機會，讓你更容易掌握答案的內(nèi)容和長度。

　　As you prepare your response, think about how you would talk. You'll want to sound interesting, not boring, so avoid writing just a list of your strengths.

　　當(dāng)你構(gòu)思答案時，你要想想應(yīng)怎樣說出，內(nèi)容要令人感興趣，不沉悶，避免滔滔不絕地只說自己的強項。

　　Here are some final things to think about when answering the question "Tell me about yourself."

　　最后，為你提供一些對答「自我介紹」的意見：

　　Mention major awards or accomplishments that relate to your career;

　　闡述工作上的重要成就或獎項

　　Promote your strengths, but do not mention any of your weaknesses;

　　推銷自己的長處，但不要提及自己的弱點

　　Try to be funny if you can, but don't force it;

　　可以的話，盡量說得幽默有趣

　　Summarize your career and education, but don't recite a list;

　　概括說出你的工作經(jīng)驗和學(xué)歷，但切勿背誦

　　Don't start with your date of birth;
