面试中可能用到的英语对话（十四）

        第七部分：工个性与社会协调能力(6～10问)       

问：描述一个对你来说是没有效率的工作环境。?

答：当某人提出一个确切的建议说我的一个目标该如何实现时，我做得就不是非常好。因为那就意味着不允许我有任何的自由去对我自己的风格作出调整，只有当我可以描绘自己的蓝图时，我才能做得好。这个问题是“什么样的环境让你的工作特别有效率？”的反面问法。侧重在你比较喜欢或能提高你的工作效率的环境。?

Qescribe an environment that is ineffective for you.

A:I don?t do terribly well when someone has an exact idea of how one of my goals should be accomplished.That doesn't allow any latitude to make adjustments to suit my own style.I do well when I can draw my own map.??

问：什么样的环境能激励你？?

答：我确实很喜欢从事工程，从中能获得真正的进步——例如，在?JIT工程中，我们在物资耗费上每月节省1万多美元。

面试官想更清楚地观察哪种工作能激励你。这个问题是没有正确答案的，不过你的回答至少应该和你正在申请的工作有几分相符。例如，假如你正面试的是一项枯燥和反复性的工作，如，数据记录或装配线这类工作，你就不该说高创造型的工作最能激发你。??

Q:What situations excite and motivate you?

A:I really enjoy working on any re?engineering project where a true improvement results，for example,the JIT project in hich we saved more than ten thousand dollars per month in inventory costs.

??问：你的上一位老板如何形容你的工作习惯和职业道德？?

答：让我这么说吧，由于我付出了更多额外的努力去处理与一位顾客的关系，我因此获得了部门发给的一笔津贴。这位顾客以取消账户相要挟，我介入这件事并设法改进某些制度，尽管这得让我花上整个周末去工作。

你认为你目前的或上一位雇主会再次雇用你吗？你的工作够完善吗？你可靠吗？你值得信赖吗？举出一些有关你的可靠、你的奉献和有合作诚意的例子。??

　 Q:How would your last employer describe your work habits and ethics?

Aet me put it this way:I received an MVP award from my division for the extra efforts I put into one of our customer elationships.

The customer had threatened to pull the account,so I stepped in and debugged the system,even though it required me to work through a holiday weekend.??

问：你觉得你的公司对待自己的员工如何？?

答：近年来，管理部门实际上已经为优秀的员工做了很多。但是，当员工们为公司做出牺牲但却得到极少回报时，公司的努力又激起了过去的混乱。我们花大量的金钱在人力资源上，设法消除横在免税员工和非免税员工之间的屏障。假如“公司”是管理部门，管理部门正有意识地努力修补漏洞，从而公平对待员工。

主考官想看看你能否在忠于管理部门和对员工的关心之间走出一条满意的路线，尽管这个问题没有正确的答案，但你应当尽量避免对任何一方的偏袒并尽可能客观地谈论你所在公司对员工的态度和方法。随时准备给出一些反映你的公司对待员工的观点的例子。 ??

Q:How do you feel your company treats its employees?

A:In recent years,management has really been dedicated to having a satisfied workforce.Their efforts,however,often rekindleast upheavals,when employees made sacrifices for the company and received little in return.In human resources we spend a lot of money trying to break down the walls between exempt and nonexempt employees.If“the company”is management,I would have to say management is making a conscious effort to mend fences and to do right by our employees.??

问：你的顾客和客户喜欢和你一块工作吗？?

答：我的客户很稳定，因此我认为三四年来顾客是很满意与我一起工作的。在广告部门中那是很不平常的事情。他们知道完全可以靠我去处理他们的生意，就像让我处理自己的生意一样。

公司的客户对你的反应好不好？你可以从一位顾客的身上给出具体的反馈信息吗？有多少客户是你的回头客？为什么你相信你留住了他们的生意？??

Qid your customers or clients enjoy working with you?

A:My client base changed very little,except that billings increased,so I think that?s evidence the clients were satisfied enough to stay with me for more than three years.That?s particularly unusual in the ad?agency business,too.They simply knew they could count on me to treat their businss as if it were my own.?
