Qualities That Employer Seek 雇主尋求的品質(zhì)

Knowing what an employer is looking for in a potential employee can help an applicant to prepare for an interview.An interviewer for a major corporation was asked these questions: What specific skills are you looking for in applicants?And how do you identify these skills? He responded:

On the one hand,most important for us in the way of skills is the ability to communicate.Can people speak clearly? Can they articulate the kind of person they believe themselves to be? In what kind of work situations do they perform well? What are their strengths and weaknesses? We want to know about the personal qualities of the individual, so I try to ask questions to draw them but and attempt to find out if they have a sense of themselves. If they do have good communication skills, they will be able to do this logically and concisely.

On the other hand,I am looking for creativity.Can they be instinctive? I will ask some "off-the-wall" questions just to see if this throws them. How do they respond in these tough situations?Can they be creative with their answers? This is very important when they are out in business situations with customers. They will have to respond to very sudden changes and problem-solving situations that they are not necessarily familiar with, and I want to know if they can handle them.

了解雇主在潛在的雇員身上尋求什么有助于應(yīng)聘者為面試做準(zhǔn)備。一位大公司的面試官被問(wèn)及這樣的問(wèn)題：你在應(yīng)聘者身上尋求什么樣的技能?你如何確認(rèn)他們是否有這樣的能力?他回答道：

一方面，在技能上對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)最重要的一點(diǎn)是溝通能力——應(yīng)聘者是否能清楚地表達(dá)?他們是否能清楚地說(shuō)明他們自己是什么樣的人?在什么樣的工作環(huán)境下他們能出色地發(fā)揮自己的水平?他們的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)是什么?我們想知道個(gè)人的品質(zhì)，所以我要問(wèn)些問(wèn)題以探明他們的性格品質(zhì)，并試圖發(fā)現(xiàn)他們是否有自我意識(shí)。若他們確實(shí)有良好的交際能力，他們就能做到邏輯分明，簡(jiǎn)潔清晰地回答問(wèn)題。

另一方面，我尋求創(chuàng)造力——他們是否有隨機(jī)應(yīng)變的能力?我會(huì)問(wèn)一些古怪的問(wèn)題來(lái)看看他們會(huì)不會(huì)為此慌亂、驚愕。在這樣嚴(yán)峻的情況下，他們?nèi)绾位卮饐?wèn)題———他們的答案會(huì)具有創(chuàng)造性嗎?這點(diǎn)在他們外出與客戶會(huì)談時(shí)相當(dāng)重要。他們?cè)谇闆r迅速改變時(shí)及他們?cè)诓皇煜さ那闆r下解決問(wèn)題時(shí)，不得不做出一定的反應(yīng)。
