面試題目答不上來別說“不知道”!你應(yīng)該這樣回答…… What to say when you don't know how to answer a job interview question
中國日報(bào)網(wǎng) 2022-05-07 08:30
你可能覺得自己求職面試的準(zhǔn)備工作已經(jīng)非常充分,但是總會(huì)有讓你答不上來的問題。你應(yīng)該誠實(shí)地回答“不知道”,還是有其他更好的回答方式?來看看專業(yè)人士的建議吧。
1. Whatever you do, don’t lie.
不論怎么回答,都別說謊
Daniel Space, a human resources consultant, said that if you can’t draw from personal experience to answer a question, it’s alright to say something like, “I haven’t been placed in that situation specifically yet, but here’s how I think I would handle it.”
人力資源顧問丹尼爾·斯佩斯說,如果你沒有相關(guān)的個(gè)人經(jīng)歷可談,你可以這樣說:“我還沒有遇到過這種情況,但是我認(rèn)為我會(huì)這樣處理……”
The biggest mistake he sees is when candidates attempt to lie instead of acknowledging what they don’t know.
斯佩斯認(rèn)為最錯(cuò)誤的做法就是試圖說謊,而不是承認(rèn)自己有所不知。
2. Don’t ramble and hope for the best. If you don’t understand what they’re asking, request clarification.
不要東拉西扯,如果聽不懂考官的問題可以問清楚
Rambling is the worst mistake a job candidate can make when they don’t know how to answer, according to Mary Abbajay, president of the leadership development consultancy Careerstone Group.
領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力發(fā)展咨詢公司Careerstone 集團(tuán)總裁瑪麗·阿巴杰認(rèn)為,求職者在不知道怎么回答時(shí)東拉西扯是最糟的。
"They think if they talk long enough ... people will think they are answering the questions. Don’t do that,” she said. “When you are rambling, it shows you are a poor communicator.”
她說:“他們認(rèn)為只要自己說得夠久,人們就會(huì)以為他們在回答問題。不要這么做,東拉西扯只能說明你不善于溝通?!?/p>
Lawrese Brown, the founder of C-Track Training, a workplace education company, pointed out that not all interview questions are clearly worded and it reflects better on you to ask for clarification when you need it.
職場培訓(xùn)公司C-Track的創(chuàng)始人勞瑞斯·布朗指出,不是所有的面試問題都表達(dá)得很清楚,這種情況下問清楚會(huì)給考官留下好印象。
"It demonstrates a confidence and assertiveness to say, ‘Hey, can you clarify? ... Because I want to share the right insights with you, I want to share the most relevant information,’” she said.
她說:“你對考官說:‘您能把問題說得更清楚一點(diǎn)嗎?因?yàn)槲蚁肱c您分享最相關(guān)的見解和信息’,這展示出一種自信和魄力?!?/p>
Asking for the question to be repeated might also buy you time to think of an answer, Abbajay added.
阿巴杰指出,請考官重復(fù)問題還能為你爭取更多時(shí)間來思考答案。
3. Don’t give up and just say “I don’t know,” either. Advocate for the person you are.
不要直接說“不知道”,說說自己的優(yōu)勢
It’s OK to admit you have not yet acquired a specific skill or faced a certain problem, said Tejal Wagadia, a recruiter for a major tech company. But don’t just say “I don’t know” when you are stumped. Saying something like, “I don’t know that yet, but I’m willing to learn that skillset,” shows your willingness to learn new things, Wagadia said.
一家大型科技公司的招聘人員特賈爾·瓦加迪亞說,你可以承認(rèn)自己尚未掌握某項(xiàng)技能或存在某個(gè)問題,但是你在答不上來的時(shí)候不要只說“不知道”。瓦加迪亞說,你可以說“我對此還不了解,但是我愿意學(xué)習(xí)這一技能”,以此表明你學(xué)習(xí)新事物的意愿。
“Redirect your answer and share how the skills you’ve gained in another capacity have prepared for the target opportunity,” said Ashley Watkins, a job search coach.
求職教練艾希莉·沃特金斯說:“你可以轉(zhuǎn)移話題,說說你在其他領(lǐng)域收獲的技能如何能讓你勝任目標(biāo)職位?!?/p>
