面試時(shí)如何"簡單的介紹一下自己"

How to Answer the Interview Question, 'Tell Me About Yourself'

如何回答面試問題“簡單介紹一下自己”

It's often the first thing hiring managers ask candidates in job interviews, and the first opportunity to really screw things up. Unsurprisingly, most of us have a really hard time summarizing our careers, skills, and interests in the conversational equivalent of a tweet. But having a job search "elevator pitch" is a really important part of acing the interview.

招聘經(jīng)理在求職面試中常常問的第一個(gè)問題就是“請簡單介紹一下自己”，而且這實(shí)際上也是求職者將事情搞砸的第一次機(jī)會(huì)。不足為奇的是，實(shí)際上，大多數(shù)求職者都是很不容易才總結(jié)好面試中自己職業(yè)、技能和興趣的介紹，就像一條微博似的。但是求職中的“電梯演講”也是通過面試的重要因素。

"People screw it up all the time," says career coach Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio, in an interview with Forbes. "They think they should walk you through their entire résumé."

職業(yè)顧問Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio在福布斯的采訪中提到“人們總是把事情搞砸。求職者總是認(rèn)為面試者應(yīng)當(dāng)瀏覽簡歷上面的所有信息。”

Thanasoulis-Cerrachio and the other career experts Susan Adams spoke with agreed that the short, snappy pitch is important, and said that the whole spiel shouldn't take more than the time it takes to ride an elevator -- 30 seconds or less, in other words.

Thanasoulis-Cerrachio與另一位職業(yè)專家Susan Adams很贊同的一點(diǎn)就是：簡介明快的演講很重要。而且整個(gè)演講花費(fèi)的時(shí)間不能超過乘坐一層電梯所需的時(shí)間——也就是30秒之內(nèi)。

What else should you keep in mind?

還需要記住什么呢?

1. Focus on what they need.

1.集中注意用人單位的需求

When you're trying to sell yourself to a prospective employer, it's tempting to concentrate on what you think your greatest strengths are. In fact, you're probably better off if you figure out how to tailor your description of your experience to what the employer actually needs. They're not going to hire you just because you're impressive; they'll hire you because you solve a problem or fulfill a desperately needed function.

當(dāng)你試圖將自己推薦給未來的雇主的時(shí)候，集中思考自己最大的優(yōu)勢是很富有吸引力的。實(shí)際上，如果你能夠揣測用人單位的實(shí)際需求，并按照需求來修改工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)介紹，那么你的機(jī)會(huì)可能會(huì)更大。他們不會(huì)因?yàn)槟憬o人印象深刻而雇用你;他們雇用你是因?yàn)槟隳軌蚪鉀Q問題或者能夠履行急需的工作職責(zé)。

2. Edit yourself.

2.編輯自己

Be prepared to go through many iterations of your pitch before you hit on the right one. Think of the old Mark Twain quote, "I didn't have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one instead." Brevity takes time and ruthlessness.

在你想出合適的演講稿之前，你要做好不斷修改稿子的準(zhǔn)備。想一想老馬克.吐溫的一句名言“我沒時(shí)間寫出簡潔的信，所以只好寫一封長信給你。”簡潔不但耗時(shí)長，而且沒人情味。

3. Rehearse.

3.排練

Practice on your own in front of a mirror, or better yet, with a friend, until you can deliver your pitch confidently and without a hitch. Ideally, it should sound organic and natural -- as if you just happened to think it up on the spot, or as if it's always been a personal credo.

在你能夠自信地、毫不費(fèi)力地發(fā)表演講之前，你需要對著鏡子，最好是對著朋友練習(xí)。理想情況下，演講應(yīng)該條理清晰、比較自然——就像當(dāng)場恰好剛想出來的一樣或者像常用的個(gè)人信條一樣。
