进行思考和作出反应。我相信这是提高学识或改变将来的行为的公平做法。

介绍一下你从困境中学到的积极经验,尽可能地避免对前任老板或经理进行批评。

q:what are some of the things your supervisor did that you disliked?

a:the only thing i really dont like is to get feedback in front of others.i want to hear good or bad feedback in private,so that i have time to think and react to the issue without other distractions.i believe thats the fair way to improve earning or to change future behavior.

问:你如何组织和安排那些重点项目?

答:我会事先集体讨论,假定最好、最糟糕和最可能出现的情形。接着我会拟定一个比较切实可行的时间表。我发现在计划执行中最好和最坏的一面都会同时出现,当这些问题出现时,我就能容易地调整我的计划,因为我已经想像到会发生什么事情和我该如何作出反应。

告诉面试官,你在完成复杂任务的一般方法上的一个好主意。你可以从以下方面着手:你如何安排时间、设置时间下限、任务轻重缓急的排序、分派任务和决定你该做什么。

q:how do you organize and plan for major projects?

a:i love to brainstorm a best,worst,and most likely scenario.then i set a timetable thats realistic.what i usually find is that some combination of my best and worst cases evolves;i can adjust my schedule easily as these things unfold because ive already visualized what could happen and how id react.

问:描述一下你在巨大压力下工作的一次经历。

答:在连续不断地工作了两个星期后,我还得完成最后的1/4的工作。

打进打出的电话多得令人难以置信,因为我不能随身带着办公文件。很幸运,我有个得力的秘书和不错的文件系统。最后,我们把每件事都处理得井井有条。

回答这样一个问题,最好的办法就是集中在你的时间安排技巧上。举一个有足够细节的例子,谈你面临的严峻形势及你如何轻松自如地解决了问题。

q:describe a time when youve worked under intensepressure.

a:i had to complete an endofquarter report once while i was on the road for two consecutive weeks.the amount of lephoning back and forth was incredible,because i couldnt bring my office files with me.luckily i had a great secretary and a logical filing system,so we located everything we needed.

问:在典型的工作日,你如何安排时间?

答:我总是给予已建立起关系的顾客优先权,因为他们提供给我们更好的机遇和回报。最后一件事,是处理商业信件,尤其是内部的商业函件,这些都放在快下班或周末去做。

面试官想要一个证据来证明求职者能根据工作队伍的需要、部门的调整及任务的性质,来对工作做出轻重缓急的安排。他还想确信你不会为了避免工作的单调而优先娱乐,从长远来看,必要的惯例对于工作来说是很重要的。

q:how do you manage your time on a typical day?

a:ive always given priority to work with established clients,because they offer a better risk/return value.the last thing i do is general correspondence,especially internal correspondence,which i take care of at the end of the day or week.



问:描绘你按别人的建议行事的例子。

答:我改变了我的办公时间,因为几个员工都觉得除了早上,其余时间就很难找到我。

展示你灵活的一面和你的人际关系技巧。人们乐意向你提建议吗?他们会相信你能公平客观地听取他们的意见吗?当你确实接受建议时,你会对他们表示赞赏吗?使面试官相信你的管理方式是合理的、公正的,而且你欣赏别人的好建议。



q:describe a time when you acted on someones suggestion.

a:i changed my open office hours because several of my employees found it difficult to visit me except in the early mornings.

第三部分(11~15问)

韦鲁基

问:描述你在上司面前为自己的见解辩护的一次经历。

答:我说服上司改变公关公司。我确信以芝加哥为基地的公司不能满足我们在西海岸的利益,通过向上司展示客源统计变化后,我说服了他。

这与描述“你按他人的建议行事的经历”是相对立的。你能提出有建设性的建议并且让他人明白你的想法吗?请举出具体的例子来说明。

q:tell me about a time when you had to defend an idea to your boss.

a:once i had to convince my boss to change pr firms.i really believed that our interests on the west coast werent being met by our chicagobased firm.i was able to convince him after showing him the demographic shift in our customer base.

问:你想改变你的管理形式的哪些方面?

答:别人向我征求意见时,我常常控制着自己不把答案直接告诉别人。我认为使别人学会如何解决问题更为重要。我越来越善于教导别人并提出问题,但我从不告诉别人该怎么做。

谈谈你正在努力改进的管理方式的一个方面。告诉面试官你采取的步骤,并给出证据来说明你取得的进步。

q:what aspect of your management style would you like to change?

a:ive been working on holding back the urge to tell people the answers when they ask for advice.i think its more mportant to teach people how to solve their own problems.ive gotten better at coaching and presenting questions and feedback without telling people what to do.

问:你有没有感到上司及同事对你的排斥?

答:我必须说明一下为何我曾认为黑白色调更切合保险小册子的内容。最初,办公室里没有人赞同这个想法,因为我们都习惯于彩色的册子,人人都认为黑白册子看上去显得低档。最后我终于说服大家,用更为巧妙的方法呈现死亡抚慰金这一大难题会更行之有效。

举出具体例子说明你为自己的观点辩护的例子。避开谈及个性抵触、怨恨情绪或愤怒的争吵。你如何令别人理解你的观点?结果如何?一定要以积极的语气结束谈话。



q:have you ever felt defensive around your boss or peers?

a:i had to explain once why i thought a blackandwhite brochure was more suitable for the content of an insuranceproduct brochure.no one in my office liked the idea initially,because we were all used to color brochures,and everybody felt that black and white looked cheap.eventually i convinced them that a more subtle approach would work better to present information about a difficult topicdeath benefits.

问:谈谈影响你管理风格的一次学习经历。

答:我早期在银行工作时,给一位副执行主席发信,但忘记给在他手下做事的两位副行政主席发副本。其中一位断定我有意作梗。从那以后,我对关键环节非常小心。

把你的回答内容稍作改变,用以回应这个问题:“谈谈你最不喜欢的经理或监督员”。在此描述一次正面或反面的使你获得有效管理经验的教训,或者描述一位经理让你做你认为难以实现的事情的手段,他是如何激发你的?

q:tell me about a learning experience that affected your management style.

a:early in my job at the bank,i wrote a letter to an evp but failed to make copies for the two avps who worked for him.one of them was impacted by the content of the memo and concluded that id circumvented him on purpose.ive really been careful about chain of command ever since.

问:你有没有仿效过别人的管理形式?

答:我在许多方面效仿我的第一位上司。我在桌上为每个工作成员准备了一个文件袋。他们可把便条、想法、要我检查的工作或其他东西放在那儿,我就用这些材料来处理事情。这成为我们大家沟通的另一种形式。那么,当我们坐下来谈论时,要解决的问题都在手头上了。

你应该描述一位自己认识的上司,用积极的方式激发你去达到超出你自己目标的要求。详细说明他是如何实现这种做法的。

q:have you pat
