話說美國《福布斯》雜志請人力資源專家總結(jié)出了求職面試中可能遇到的十大“跌坑”問題(top 10 most common questions designed to trick you),簡單分析了其“坑人”之處,并給出了參考答案。
Question 1: Why have you been out of work so long, and how many others were laid off?
(Subtext: What's wrong with you?)
Best Answer: "I was an excellent employee who gave more than a day's work for a day's pay."
Question 2: If employed, how do you manage time for interviews?
(Subtext: Are you short-changing your current employer?)
Best Answer: "I'm taking personal time and only interview for positions that are a terrific match."
Question 3: How did you prepare for this interview?
(Subtext: How much do you really care about this job?)
Best Answer: "I very much want this job, and of course researched it starting with the company website."
Question 4: Do you know anyone who works for us?
(Subtext: Who might be a good judge of your true character?)
Best Answer: If you do know someone, only mention them by name if you're certain of their positive standing within the organization.
Question 5: Where would you really like to work?
(Subtext: Are you applying for every job in sight?)
Best Answer: "This is where I want to work, and this job is what I want to do."
Question 6: What bugs you about coworkers or bosses?
(Subtext: Are you impossible to work with?)
Best Answer: "I can't recall anything in particular. I've been lucky to have good bosses who were knowledgeable and fair and past coworkers who were able, supportive and friendly."
Question 7: Can you describe how you solved a work or school problem?
(Subtext: Can you think critically?)
Best Answer: Highlight an instance that favorably reflects how your mind works and spotlights your skills and achievements. Example: How you solved time management issues in order to take on a special assignment or complicated project.
Question 8: Can you describe a work or school instance in which you messed up?
(Subtext: Do you repeat the same mistakes over and over? Are you too self-important or unaware that you don't see your own failings? Are you so insecure or terrible that you will list out all of your personal flaws?)
Best Answer: Briefly mention a single small, well-intentioned goof and follow up with an important lesson learned from the experience.
Question 9: How does this position compare with others you're applying for?
(Subtext: Who else is interested, and what will it take to bring you on board?)
Best Answer: "I respect the privacy of any organization where I interview. Have I found my destination here?"
Question 10: If you won the lottery, would you still work?
(Subtext: Are you really a motivated and hard worker?)
Best Answer: "While I'd be thrilled to win the lottery, I would still look for meaningful work because meeting challenges and achieving makes me happy."
