问:描述一部你看过的、确实对你有启迪的电影。
答:我喜欢《飞越疯人院》这部令人感到压抑的电影中一个片段。有一个镜头是这样的:护士小姐拒绝打开电视,当时电视正在播放世界棒球联赛。因此,杰克?尼科尔森看着空白的荧光屏,并开始叙述比赛的情况,就好像那场比赛真的正在进行那行。其余的病人聚集在他的周围,伴随比赛的进行。我想那一幕就是想像的力量起作用的一个例子吧。
说明你可以从书本、电影等广泛的资料中吸取知识的能力,告诉面试官具体的一本或一部你能从中学到东西的书或电影。说说你如何运用那些方面知识并用在哪些方面。
Qescribe a movie you've seen that really inspired you.
A:I loved one part of an otherwise depressing movie, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest. In one scene the nurse refuses to turn on the TV for the World Series, so Jack Nicholson looks at the blank screen and starts narrating as though the game were actually on. The other patients gather around him and follow the game. I thought that scene was an example of the power of visualization in making things happen.
第十二部分:难以回答的问题(1~4问)
问:如果我告诉你,你今天的面试情况很糟糕,你怎么办?
答:首先我会问您,在这次面试中是否有某个具体的环节处理得不妥当。然后我会尽量回忆,在我与您的交谈过程中,我犯了什么错误。接着,我会重新考虑我对您的问题的理解上可能存在的问题。有必要的话,我会澄清它。最后如果时间允许的话,我会试着更全面、更恰当地对您给我指出的不恰当的地方再作补充。
面试官喜欢问诸如此类的压力型问题,目的是了解你是如何很好在压力下生存的。最佳办法就是保持镇定并且充分放松,不要动摇你的信心。
Q:What would you do if I told you that I thought you were giving a very poor interview today?
A:Well, the first thing Id do is ask you if there was any specific part of the interview that you thought I might have mishandled. After that Id think back and try to remember if there had been any faulty communication on my part. Then I'd try to review possible problems I had understanding your questions, and I'd ask for clarification if I needed it. Finally, if we had time, Id try to respond more fully and appropriately to the problem areas you identified for me.
问:你被解雇过吗?
答:在我念大学时,有一年暑假实践,我在一家软件咨询公司工作。仲夏时,由于财务出现困难,一位新上任的董事长要求我们工作组全体辞职。尽管我的工作表现没有受到任何批评,但我还是与所有人一起被解雇了。假如你从未曾被解雇过,当然这会是一个很简单的问题。但是假如你曾经被解雇过,你就要准备详细地解释一下你的处境,而且有可能要回答随之而来的一系列非常具体的问题。假如结局超出你控制的能力,例如公司解体,大部分的面试官会表示理解。不过假如你被解雇是因为表现太差或者其他的问题,你就必须承认错误,并且说服面试官你已经改正了错误。
虽然这是一个难以回答的问题,但是你应绝对诚实。如果不诚实,并且面试官从你的证明人那里得到很多资料的话,你可能会被立刻解雇,或者得不到报酬。
Q:Have you ever been fired?
Auring one of my summer internships while in college, I worked for a software consulting company. Midway through the summer a new president was appointed because of some financial difficulties, and he requested the resignation of my entire group. I was swept out with everyone else, even though my work performance had never been criticized.
