Trying to Memorize Solutions
背答案
Quality beats quantity Try to struggle through and solve questions yourself; don’t flip di-rectly to the solutions when you get stuck Memorizing how to solve specific problem isn’tgoing to help you much in an interview Real preparation is about learning how to approachnew problems
質量勝于數量。通過自己的努力去解題;不要一碰到不會的就直接翻答案。直接背答案的話在面試的時候對你幫助真不太大。準備面試的目的不是去背答案,而是學會解決新問題的方法。
Talking Too Much
話太多
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve asked candidates a simple question like “what was thehardest bug on Project Pod?”, only to have them ramble on and on about things I don’t understand Five minutes later, when they finally come up for air, I’ve learned nothing - exceptthat they’re a poor communicator When asked a question, break your answer into three parts (Situation / Action / Response, Issue 1 / Issue 2 / Issue 3, etc) and speak for just a couple sentences about each If I want more details, I’ll ask!
問了應聘者一個簡單的問題,例如“這個項目中最棘手的bug是什么?”,結果他唧唧歪歪唧唧歪歪半天也沒有說到重點,我卻霧水什么都沒聽懂,最后只能得出結論:這個人的溝通能力有問題。這樣的情況都不知道遇到多少次了。在面試時回答問題前心中最好能有個提綱(情形-行動-結果或者1,2,3點的形式),每點說一兩句就夠了。如果面試官想知道細節,他們自己會問的。
Talking Too Little
話太少
Psst - let me tell you a secret: I don’t know what’s going on in your head So if you aren’t talk-ing, I don’t know what you’re thinking If you don’t talk for a long time, I’ll assume that youaren’t making any progress Speak up often, and try to talk your way through a solution This shows your interviewer that you’re tackling the problem and aren’t stuck And it lets them guide you when you get off-track, helping you get to the answer faster And it shows yourawesome communication skills What’s not to love?
嗯,告訴你,我是永遠猜不到你腦袋里面在想什么的。在面試的時候如果你不開口說話,我就不知道你在想什么。如果你一直不說話,我就會簡單認為你卡殼了。多開口說話,在解題過程中就多講講你的想法。這樣面試官才能知道你是在解題而不是發呆。而且如果你的思路有問題,面試官還能根據你說的給你些提示。此外多和面試官交流,他們會認為你的溝通能力還不錯,何樂而不為呢?
