y true weakness is that I am a terrible cook.39。關(guān)鍵在哪里?那就是充分的準備。職場專家建議,你可以整理一下自己的缺點,挑出其中跟工作有關(guān)、但又不會妨礙你行使工作職責的方面。費城大型職業(yè)介紹機構(gòu)Right Management執(zhí)行副總裁桑特拉(Tony Santora)說,2007年一位IT經(jīng)理在參加面試時,在有關(guān)缺點的問題上敗下陣來:他的回答居然是,“我真正的缺點是,我的烹飪技術(shù)很糟糕?!盧ehearse your responses aloud, role play with a friend or videotape yourselfbut don39。t memorize your you review the video, look for aspects 39。you would like to change so you can continue to get better as you practice,39。 says Peggy Klaus, a leadership coach in Berkeley, Calif。大聲朗讀答案,可以找朋友或自己用錄像來一番角色扮演。不過,不要背誦自己的答案。加州管理培訓師克勞斯(Peggy Klaus)說,回頭看錄像的時候,找出你覺得可以改善的地方,這樣在練習時可以做得更好。The IT manager changed his tune after practice sessions with fellow job seekers and a counselor in Cincinnati for Right instead said he worked such long hours that he found it difficult to stay current with world , he spent 30 minutes every evening catching up at home。那位IT經(jīng)理在辛辛那提和其他求職者及咨詢師一起參加Right Management的訓練課程后改變了思路。他后來的回答是,由于每天長時間忙于工作,他發(fā)現(xiàn)自己很難及時了解世界大事。因此,他每天晚上在家花30分鐘惡補這方面的信息。When the manager pursued an opportunity at a global drug maker, his revamped response 39。really resonated with the interviewer,39。 says manufacturer hired the man。桑特拉說,當他后來在一家全球性制藥企業(yè)求職時,他的回答讓面試官很有共鳴。這家公司最后雇用了他。It39。s equally important that you consider an employer39。s corporate being interviewed by a startup, 39。you could say, 39。My weakness is I get bored by routine,39。39。 says Ben Dattner, a New York industrial psychologist??紤]目標公司的企業(yè)文化也同樣重要。紐約心理學家達特納(Ben Dattner)說,如果到一家初創(chuàng)公司面試,你可以說,“我的缺點是容易對日常的循規(guī)蹈矩感到厭煩”。Last month, an aspiring executive director of a nonprofit group in suburban San Francisco nearly jeopardized his selection because his reply to a variation of the weakness question ignored one of its core values, according to , a board member the end of his interview, she wondered whether he might have problems with any aspects of the job.39。No, I am confident I could do it all,39。 the prospect declared??藙谒拐f,上個月,舊金山郊區(qū)一家非營利組織的一名熱情的執(zhí)行董事差一點兒毀掉他的機會,原因是他在回答一個變相的弱點問題時忽視了這家機構(gòu)的一項核心價值??藙谒故沁@家機構(gòu)的董事。面試快結(jié)束時,克勞斯想知道他對那個職位的各個方面是否還有什么問題?!皼]問題,我想我都能解決,”這位求職者回答到。His flip ment dismayed , because she felt he lacked awareness of his says his response raised doubts among board members that 39。he would be able to take critical feedback,39。 an attribute the organization valueshighly。他這么輕率的回答讓克勞斯有點失望,因為她感覺他對自己的缺點缺乏認識。她說,他的回答讓董事們懷疑他是否能聽取批評性意見,而這家機構(gòu)對這一點非??粗?。Because the man was wellqualified, the board gave him a second interviewand demanded a fuller explanation of his weak said he had been 39。unprepared for that question and nervous about ing out with a big fatal flaw,39。 then described his tendency to make decisions too fast during workplace members39。 doubts disappeared, and they picked him for the nonprofit39。s top job。但因為這位申請人其他條件很好,董事會給了他第二次面試機會,并要求他對自己的缺點作更充分的說明。他說,他第一次面試時“對那個問題毫無準備,擔心會說出什么大的致命缺陷,”隨后,他向面試官提到自己在工作遇到危急關(guān)頭時,往往會過于倉促地做出決策。董事會的擔心消除了,最后安排他擔任了這家非營利機構(gòu)的負責工作。Ideally, your reply also should exclude the word 39。weakness39。 and cover your corrective your greatest fault a 39。window of opportunity39。 signals your improvement efforts should benefit the workplace, says Oscar Adler, a retired Maidenform Brands sales executive and author of the book, 39。Sell Yourself in Any Interview.39。 For instance, he suggests, a salesman might note that he sold more after strengthening his facility with numbers。理想的情況是,你在回答中應(yīng)盡量避免使用“缺點”這樣的詞,同時還可以提到改正措施。Maidenform Brands銷售主管、《在面試中推銷自己》(Sell Yourself in Any Interview)一書的作者阿德勒(Oscar Adler)說,將你最大的缺點轉(zhuǎn)化為“機會之窗”,表明你的改善措施將使工作受益。比如他建議說,銷售人員可以說,在強化數(shù)學能力后,銷售業(yè)績上升了。When an interviewer pops this nervewracking query, your body language counts as wrong nonverbal cues undercut your candidates hunch over, glance furtively around the room or wring their sweaty palms.39。They sort of look like they39。re being asked a question they can39。t handle,39。 says 。當面試官突然提出這樣的刁鉆問題時,你的身體語言也能反映一些問題。不當?shù)闹w語言會削弱你的可信度。某些求職者會蜷縮身體,茫然地瞟著房間四周,或是扭動出汗的手掌。阿德勒說,他們看起來就有點像遇到了他們沒法對付的問題。Maintaining eye contact, regular breathing and a broad smile impress employers that 39。you39。re prepared for the weakness question,39。 says psychotherapist Pat Pearson, author of 39。Stop SelfSabotage!39。心理學家皮爾森(Pat Pearson)說,保持視線接觸、正常呼吸和明朗的微笑可以讓雇主覺得“你對有關(guān)弱點的問題有所準備”。皮爾森著有《停止自我摧毀》(Stop SelfSabotage!)一書。For the same reason, you seem thoughtful if you pause before don39。t wait too long.39。If you39。re going to take a minute,39。 cautions, 39。I39。ve just identified your weakness.39。同理,如果你回答問題前稍作停頓會讓你看起來深思熟慮。不過不要時間過長。莫羅警告說,如果你的停頓時間長達一分鐘,那我已經(jīng)能發(fā)現(xiàn)你的弱點了。最大的優(yōu)點是什么?堅強和上進:一直以來,我都要求自己不斷進取,在不斷完善自己提高自己的過程中,總是避免不了挫折,我以頑強的心態(tài)去克服遇到的問題,Mature,dynamic and
