So some key questions to prepare for
準備一些關鍵問題的答案
Tell me about yourself
談談你自己
Why do you wanna work here?
你為什么想來我公司工作？
What's wrong with you anyway?
你有什么問題？
And what are your salary expectations?
你期望的薪水是多少？
The first question, tell me about yourself is probably the most important question
第一個問題，談談你自己，基本上是最重要的一個問題
And students and people sometimes misunderstand this
有些學生和一些應聘者對這個問題有誤解
thinking that the person is asking, you know
他們覺得面試者問的是
where they go to school
他們在哪兒上學
where they grew up, how many siblings they have
在哪兒長大，兄弟姐妹幾個
And really it's a question that is asking
其實人家想問的是
why should I hire you
我為什么要用你
what value are you going to add to our organization
你將會給我公司帶來哪些價值
So it's an important question to have an answer to
所以要為這個問題準備好答案
that summarizes your experience, your strength, and your skills
要概括你的經歷，優點，能力
that you can bring to this specific job position
針對你所應聘的這一崗位
It's ok to tell a little bit about your background and that you went to SPU, and what your major was
可以談一點你的背景，比如你畢業于西雅圖太平洋大學，所學專業等
but you wanna quickly go into again
但是要盡快將話題轉到
what are the relevant skills, and background, and strength
你的相關技能，背景，優點方面
as they apply to the position for what you are interviewing for
這些都要針對你所應聘的職位來說
And that goes into
順著這個思路
that translate also being able to answer the question
你所表達的內容也可以用來回答
why do you want to work here
你為什么想來這兒工作
The other thing to include in why do you want to work here
在回答你為什么想來這兒工作，這個問題時
is let the person know
還要讓面試者了解到
that you've done your research
你對該公司提前做了了解
That you either talked to someone within the company you've done research online
或許你跟該公司某個職員做過交談，或者你上網查過資料
you've read articles about the organization
讀了一些關于該公司的文章
Let them know that
要讓對方了解
you know what they do, and what they do well
你知道他們所從事的和所擅長的領域
So this is an opportunity to show you've done your homework
所以要利用這個機會，讓對方知道你提前做了功課
What's wrong with you anyway?
你到底有什么問題？
This is often where you may be asked to state a weakness
一般問這個問題是想了解你的缺點
Well, obviously we all have weaknesses
當然每個人都有缺點
but there are nothing that we necessarily
但是我們并不一定要讓雇主
wanna share with an employer
了解自己的缺點
But you need to be prepared to answer that question
但是這并不代表你不需要為這個問題做準備
And the way we recommend it is state a legitimate weakness
我們的建議是陳述一個合理的缺點
that you've actually worked on and turned into a strength
但其實你對這個缺點做過改善并把它轉化成了優點
An example I like to use is
我喜歡舉的一個例子是
a student who was very fearful of speaking in front of the public
有個學生非常害怕在公眾目前發言
They took the time to take the class
他去參加了演講課
they join Toast Masters where they actually went out
他加入了宴會主持人，并出去
and practice giving speeches, and through that, it worked
練習發表演講，這樣居然取得了成效
They were able to improve their confidence in public speaking
他提高了在公共場合演講的自信心
and told the story of how they presented a class project
他講述自己如何呈現這個項目
and the outcome was very positive
而且項目結果也非常樂觀
and whatever kind of results that were possible
什么樣的結果都有可能
if you wanna include in that story
如果你想包含上述故事
So again, you wanna state the legitimate weakness
所以，要講述合理的缺點
and tell how you turn it into a neutral or even better yet, a strength
然后將其轉化成一種中性的或者優點來講述
