为了一个大公司员工关系经理职位面试的伊奈兹要突出她团队合作和引导别人成功的能力。她的回答是:“在这个部门工作需要具备法律责任和商业需求方面的知识。员工和经理对员工关系方面的问题都会感到不安。所以老练的教育各方是很必要的,能把问题的影响减小到最低。我在之前的公司曾阻止了一次潜在的诉讼。我对自己特别骄傲的是我能解决员工和上司的矛盾。帮助他们了解他们在解决问题时的作用、职责和强势及弱势。有时给员工换一个上司也是必须的,能让他们继续为公司贡献价值。我很愿意用我的知识为这家公司服务。”
Tony was applying for the Manager of Information Systems. He emphasized his ability to analyze systems and strategic issues and to create innovative and pragmatic solutions. He answered, "In general, people who are attracted to IT are self-educating problem solvers. But the rate of change and pressure on the staff can be so high that people get burned out. One of the innovations that I used at my last company was giving spot awards to individuals who volunteered to show new techniques to colleagues. Many people in IT concentrate on their own projects and don't pass information along and the spot awards have encouraged a more communicative environment. I'm now looking for a new challenge in a larger sized company and believe I would be a good fit for your needs."
托尼申请一个信息系统经理的职位。他突出了他分析信息策略方面以及在创新务实的解决问题的能力。他回答说,“通常做IT的都是自学解决问题的。但是变化的速度和员工的压力可能太大会把人们压垮。我在之前的公司采取的一个创新是给那些愿意教同事新技术的人发奖励。很多从事IT工作的人都只关注他们自己的项目不会分享信息,这个奖励可以鼓励创造一个交流更多的环境。我现在希望在一个更大的公司寻找挑战,我相信我能很好的适应你们的要求。”
In each case, the person answering the question gave a true picture of how he or she solved problems and brought value in their last situation. None portrayed themselves in a phony style. Each of them received a job offer.
在每一个答案中,回答这个问题的人都给出了他们如果解决问题为原公司创造价值的真实的场景。没有人用虚假的风格打造自己,他们最后都得到了想要的工作。
