回答英語面試中的問題技巧

How would you respond if you were asked one of the following interview questions:

如果別人問你以下問題你該如何回答:

"If aliens landed here right now, what would you do?"

“如果此刻有外星人在此登陸，你會怎么做?”

"What did you want to be when you were 8 years old?"

“8歲的時候你想當什么?”

"What would your refrigerator say if it could talk?"

“如果你的冰箱可以說話，它會說什么?”

These types of odd questions are called "wild cards" because they seem to come out of nowhere. With the current economic climate allowing employers to be more picky, these types of questions are becoming more common. A stellar resume, impressive credentials, and strong interviewing skills are no longer enough.

之所以稱這些古怪的問題為“外卡”，是因為看起來它們好像無章可循。如今的經濟形勢也讓雇主們越來越吹毛求疵，這些問題也更加普遍了。所以在面試中，僅僅有精美的簡歷，令人印象深刻的職業證書，以及精湛的面試技巧是遠遠不夠的。

While a rare interviewer may ask these questions simply to watch you squirm, many wild-card questions serve a purpose. Generally speaking, interviewers ask these questions to see how well you perform under pressure and think on your feet. They also might ask wild cards to break out of the routine of a typical interview in order to get a glimpse of your genuine personality.

很少有面試官問這些問題僅僅是想讓你尷尬，但是很多不可預知的問題都是為了特定的目的才問的。通常來說，面試官會問你三個這樣的問題，來測試你在壓力下表現如何，以及你的突破性思維。面試官問你這些突破常規性面試的問題也可能是想看看你真實的本性。

Here are some real questions as reported by job seekers, with some insight into what interviewers may be looking for -- and how to deliver:

以下列出了一些求職者反應的問題，并附有一些見解，講解了面試官的目的，以及你該如何應對這些問題：

"If there was a fire in your house, what two things would you save?"

“如果你家著火了，你最想搶救的兩樣物品是什么?”

Whats the point? The interviewer is trying to determine how well your ideals and principles match the companys values.

這個問題的重點是什么?雇主想了解你的利益觀和原則是否符合公司的利益觀。

Approach: Find an honest answer that aligns you with the values of the company with which you are interviewing.

應對措施：找出與你所面試的公司價值觀最相符合的也是最真誠的答案。

Possible response: If you e applying for a job as a technical project manager, for example, you might say: "My computer and my family photo album." This shows your obvious technical side but also demonstrates that you prioritize relationships. This could help distinguish you from your fellow techie competitors.

答案之一：如果你正在應聘一個技術項目經理的職位，你可以這樣回答“我的電腦和家庭相冊”。這樣的答案顯示出你很明顯的重視技術，同時也表示你也重視家庭關系。這樣的回答可以讓你在其他求職者中間脫穎而出。

"If you were a cereal, what would you be?"

“如果你是谷物，你選擇做那種哪種?”

Whats the point? The interviewer is trying to gain some insight into your work personality to see what kind of worker you will be. If you are unsure of what your work personality is, you can take a career interest test to find out.

這個問題的重點是什么?雇主想通過這個問題了解你的工作個性，以確定你適合的職位。如果你不確定你的工作個性是什么，你可以通過做職業興趣測試來定位。

Approach: Try to tie your answer back to the job requirements.

應對措施：按照工作要求去回答問題。
