面試中如何回答“你的缺點(diǎn)是什么”
The one dreaded question that is guaranteed to come up in every interview is "What is your greatest weakness?" Perhaps it's the interviewer's way of weeding out candidates to see who is truly prepared to answer this uncomfortable question. Regardless, you can remove some of the awkwardness by prepping for the question and following these rules.
每次面試中肯定會(huì)出現(xiàn)的可怕問題是“你最大的缺點(diǎn)是什么？”也許這是面試官淘汰應(yīng)聘者的方式，他們想看看誰真正為這個(gè)不友善的問題做了準(zhǔn)備。無論如何，你可以通過準(zhǔn)備答案和遵循下面的方法免去部分尷尬。
1. Don't give a cop-out answer
1. 不要回避問題
Please don't give tired answers like, "My greatest weakness is that I'm too much of a perfectionist/workaholic." Perhaps it is true for you, but unfortunately, it may bring false to the interviewer who is used to hearing these generic answers that come off as a way to dodge the question.
請(qǐng)不要給千篇一律的回答，比如：“我最大的缺點(diǎn)是過于追求完美/工作太拼命。”也許這是真實(shí)回答，但不幸的是，它會(huì)給面試官錯(cuò)誤信息，他們習(xí)慣了聽這些通用回答，會(huì)以為你想回避這個(gè)問題。
2. Be honest
2. 要誠實(shí)
Dig deep into yourself and figure out what your true weaknesses are at work. Write them down on a sheet of paper, and figure out which ones you can use in an interview. If you state a weakness you've struggled with, your answer will sound more honest. Some things that will help you come up with true weaknesses is to look at some of the challenges you have faced in your previous jobs or think about constructive criticism you've received from a manager.
深入挖掘自己，找到真正的缺點(diǎn)。把它們寫在紙上，看看哪些可以在面試的時(shí)候說。如果你說的是讓你煩擾的缺點(diǎn)，聽上去會(huì)更誠實(shí)。幫助你想到真正缺點(diǎn)的事是看你在以前工作中遇到的困難或想想經(jīng)理對(duì)你的有用批評(píng)。
3. Avoid deal breakers
3. 不要說會(huì)影響面試的缺點(diǎn)
Although we mention that you should be honest, it's also good to remember that there is such a thing as being too honest. You need to avoid weaknesses that will hurt your chances of getting the job. For example, say if you're applying for an HR position and you say that you're not good with people, or if you're trying for a sales job and you say you are bad at negotiating. This doesn't mean that you have to make up a weakness, but it's just preferable for you to pick another weakness that isn't a deal breaker.
雖然我們剛才提到你應(yīng)該誠實(shí)，但也要記住別太誠實(shí)。你要避開那些會(huì)影響你得到工作的缺點(diǎn)。例如，申請(qǐng)人力資源的職位卻說不善于與人相處，或者想做銷售卻說不擅協(xié)商。不是讓你一定要編缺點(diǎn)，但是挑個(gè)不會(huì)影響面試的缺點(diǎn)會(huì)好一些。
4. Talk about your attempts to overcome your weakness
4. 要談到你為克服缺點(diǎn)做的努力
Always talk about the steps you have taken to overcome your weakness. This is your chance to show the interviewer that although you have your flaws, you are proactive and resourceful enough to overcome them. In a way, your effort to conquer your weaknesses will be looked at as a strength.
要說你為克服缺點(diǎn)做的事。這是你向面試官證明的機(jī)會(huì)，讓他們知道雖然你有缺點(diǎn)，但你會(huì)主動(dòng)克服缺點(diǎn)，也有辦法克服它們。在某種程度上，你為克服缺點(diǎn)做的努力會(huì)被視作優(yōu)點(diǎn)。
