David Tang到Players雜志社求職面試,考官是雜志社經(jīng)理Fred Dixon。
F: Ok...what do you think are your biggest weaknesses?
D: Hmm...I'd say that my biggest weakness is a tendency to be a bit of a perfectionist. Sometimes I get too close to the project and need to step back to get the whole picture.
F: All right. How would you say you react under pressure?
D: I've had to make a lot of major adjustments in my life such as moving to a new country, learning a new language and making new friends. I'd say it was all quite stressful but I faced each challenge as it came and step-by-step things got better. For me I think the key is not to let things pile up but instead to face each problem as it comes and attack it head-on.
David說(shuō)自己最大的缺點(diǎn)是有點(diǎn)perfectionist,萬(wàn)事追求完美。有時(shí)過(guò)份投入, get too close to something, 需要退一步縱觀全局to step back to get the whole picture. David承受壓力的能力也不差,他覺(jué)得關(guān)鍵是不能讓問(wèn)題積累起來(lái),not to let things pile up,而是遇到一個(gè)解決一個(gè), attack it head-on,迎頭痛擊。
F: Ok. So what would you say is the one thing that's most important to you in your job?
D: I'd say having good direction from my supervisors but also a high degree of freedom to implement creative ideas. I need guidance, but I don't want my creativity to be stifled.
F: Can you tell me why you left your last job?
D: Well, I needed a challenge. I felt like I was in a comfort zone and I needed to shake things up in my life. I enjoyed my time at my last job, but I feel like I'm ready for the major leagues.
David 說(shuō),他想換工作是因?yàn)楦杏X(jué)自己是在一個(gè)各方面都駕輕就熟的地方,I was in a comfort zone, 需要變化,to shake things up. 他覺(jué)得I'm ready for the major leagues. 應(yīng)該更上一層樓了。 Major League是職業(yè)棒球大聯(lián)盟,代表棒球最高水平,高于minor league小聯(lián)盟。
F: I noticed that you have recommendation letters from each of your previous supervisors. Their comments are all quite positive.
D: I'm honored that they value my work. I've found that I generally get along well with co-workers. I'm just not really into drama and I'm pretty easy-going.
F: Well...thanks for coming in today, David. We will be reviewing your info and you'll get a callback within a week.
D: Great! And thanks for your time, Fred. I'll be looking forward to your call.
David以前的上司都給他寫(xiě)了很好的推薦信。他說(shuō)自己not into drama,不喜歡惹事生非,pretty easy-going,很好相處。Fred聽(tīng)上去對(duì)David很滿意,說(shuō)一周內(nèi)給他回音。
