面试英语：如何巧妙回应'陷阱"问题

How To Handle The Question "What Are Your Greatest Weaknesses" In Interviews

如何处理面试中“你的优点和缺点”问题Debra Davenport (Executive Professional Mentor, Licensed Career Counselor & Employment Agent) gives expert video advice on: How do I handle the question, "What are your greatest weaknesses"?高管职业导师黛布拉将会对此问题给出专家级意见。How do I handle the question, "What are your greatest weaknesses"?这个问题该如何处理呢？I love the question "What are your greatest weaknesses?" because it's a trick question which traps a lot of people. A lot of people feel that they have to answer the question of where their weaknesses lie by stating things that they truly are not good at, and that's not true. We want to spin this question around into a positive. So perhaps try saying things like, "One of my greatest weaknesses is that I don't have a lot of patience for work that isn't done in a timely manner, or work that isn't done to very high levels of excellence, which I'm committed to in my own work." So things like that will help to put a positive spin on what could be potentially a very dangerous question. So rehearse those questions and your answers very carefully ahead of time, before you even get into that interview.我喜欢这个问题，因为它是一个陷阱，曾难倒好多人。人们都觉得有必要从自己不擅长的事情来回答这个问题。但实际上并非如此。我们完全可以把这个问题调转过来，弄成一个对自己比较积极的宣传。所以可以试着说：“我最大的弱点就是对没有按时完成，或者是完成质量不高的工作缺乏耐心。”这样就把一个有潜在危险的问题转向了积极地方面。在面试之前多练习几次，效果更佳。Thanks for watching How To Handle The Question "What Are Your Greatest Weaknesses"谢谢收看本期“如何回避刁难问题”节目。
