32问：你对你的成功如何解释？
答：我从来都不假定我的顾客满意我们的产品，所以我总是尽力跟踪每一位顾客。顾客对我们产品的质量和性能提供了很好的见解，顾客们同样也很赏识这种追踪调查，特别是有些事情处理不当的时候，你还有机会及时纠正。另外，我能传递信息给我们的设计和生产单位去帮它们改善工序和提高产量。说话要坦率但不能自大。提起一些别人对你工作能力或才华的评价。这个问题与“什么使你与众不同？”问法很相似。
Q:How do you explain your job successes?
A:I never assume our customers are satisfied with our

product, so I do my best to follow up with every customer.This feedback has provided valuable insight into the quality and characteristics of our products.The customer,as well,always appreciates this followup,especially when something hasn't gone right and you still have the opportunity to correct it on a timely basis.In addition,Im able to pass on information to our design and production units to help improve both process and product.
33问：和同领域里背景相似的人比较，你如何评价自己？
答：在全国所有的销售员队伍里我一直排在前10%。我为一家国有新闻刊物推销广告版面，我的顾客代表了全美国的主要大型广告代理。我总是喜欢把产品卖给广告代理执行部门的这种挑战，因为它们总是定一个高的标准，并且真正了解我们的产品。这最充分地显示了我爱竞争的天性。我在我的出版公司和行业里一直都是名列前茅的。诚恳而自信，但不要骄傲自大。为你的回答提供清楚、有说服力的理由。如果你在全国销售领域里排在前10%，那么这是提出来的好时机！

34问：你的写作能力有多强？
答：在我获得了工商管理硕士之后，我就真正集中精力进一步提高我的写作技巧。我参加过一个企业家培训班，其主要任务是拓展、拟写和不断改写一个非常复杂的商业计划。一个极好的回答，准备一个商业计划或类似的东西展示给招聘者看。在面试后把这份商业计划留下给招聘者。招聘者可能正在寻找一个有写作能力的人选，特别是需要大量写作的工种，如财政分析者或撰稿人。
Q:How good are your writing abilities?

A:I really concentrated on further developing my writing skills while I got my MBA.I took an entrepreneurial class in which the chief assignment was developing,writing,and continually rewriting a very involved business plan
35问：你认为一个助理编辑的广泛职责是什么？
答：我肯定不同的公司有不同的责任要求，但最基本的是，一个助理编辑要会打字、文件归档和一般的行政工作。也许还要阅读书籍和写书评，写退稿信，与作者进行一些简单的书信交流，还有协助编辑处理需要完成的工作。面试官可能会以这种或者那种形式问你这个问题。这个问题与“在你以前的那份工作中，你的愿望与现实有什么相异之处？”那个问题很相似，但更巧妙一点。虽然从根本上说，这两个问题都是在确定同一样东西，但是这种提问形式更巧妙一点。许多首次应聘者对他们的公司抱有幻想，而且对于从事平凡的抄写员的工作感到意外与不快。雇主想确信你对该工作抱有现实的态度，还有你会愉快地在那个职位上工作好几年。

Q:What would you say are the broad responsibilities of an editorial assistant?
A:Though Im sure it varies from company to company, I think it would be safe to say that being an editorial assistant involves a lot of typing, filing, and general administrative work. I would probably be expected to read and evaluate book proposals, write manuscript rejection letters, have some limited correspondence with authors, and generally assist the editor in whatever needed to be done.
36问：你熟知什么电脑系统和软件？
答：我用过装有办公软件的个人电脑，软件包括WORD、WORDPERFECT、LOTUS 123和EXCEL。同样我也有使用MACINTOSH系统的经验。通过对电脑网络的研究，我已对局域网熟悉起来。我们使用某公司的电脑系统和软件，它们就培训我们如何排解一些基本的故障问题。在今天的商业环境里，电脑操作能力是必需的。WORD文字处理程序和EXCEL电子制表经验是必要的，熟悉数据库的操作或制图程序也一样有用。大多数行业使用PC机，但很多创新型领域，如出版业和广告业就使
