用心 Dedication

　　Q1: Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?

　　A1: Yes, I do. But my work is very important to me, so I make sure nothing interferes with it. I put 100% of my effort into my work, so my relationship won’t affect my work performance.

　　Q2: Do you plan to have children?

　　A2: Currently I don’t have a plan for that. But if I do decide to have children, I wouldn’t let it affect my work. Becoming a parent is important, but my careeris certainly very important to me, too. I plan on putting all of my effort into this job and this company.

　　Q3: Do you have any children?

　　A3: Yes, I do. But I keep my family life separate from my work life so that I can put all my effort into my job. I’m flexible when it comes to travel and late hours.

　　涉及个人隐私的问题也是面试里的一个雷区。虽然专业的HR人员不会过问应聘者的私人生活，但是雇主总是希望更多地了解应聘者。如果不回答这类问题也不必直接拒绝，那样或许会失去一个机会。

　　其实，面对这类敏感问题，应聘者可以尽量把问题转移到自己对工作的重视和热情上来，强调自己会用心工作，从而打消雇主的顾虑。

　　性格 Character

　　Q: What’s your favorite animal?/If you could choose to be an animal, what animal would you want to be?

　　A1: I would say I like wolves (狼) a lot because they are smart and cautious. Moreover, they have keen perception and are good at searching for food.

　　A2: I’m very fond of koalas (考拉) . They are very friendly to human beings. Besides, they seem to be gentle, cooperative and respectful when staying with human beings.

　　A3: I love tigers (老虎). They are fast and powerful, and they have a particularly acutevisual sense. When searching for food, they are decisive, persistent and independent.

　　“你最喜欢什么动物?”“如果你能选择成为一种动物，你想成为哪一种动物?”这两个问题实际上属于同一问题，只不过是两种不同的问法而已，都用于测试回答者的性格特点。

　　一般而言，你所选择的动物会反映出你的性格。但是在此类问题面试中，主考官不会因为“牛是勤劳朴实的动物”或者“猪生性好吃懒做”这些对动物的传统印象而对你的回答做出简单判断。

　　回答这种问题的关键是对所选择动物的阐释，可以直接反映出其性格特征。应聘者在对所选的动物进行解释时，应言简意赅，还应该根据所聘职位的要求，着重描述与应聘职位要求相符的某种动物的相关特征。

　　例如应聘财务、记者等职位时，可以参考下面第一个回答;应聘人力资源部等职位时，可以参考第二个回答;应聘管理等职位时，可以参考第三个回答。

　　其他还有一些刁钻的问题如：

　　Do you think how many people around the world took a flight last year?你觉得去年全世界有多少人乘坐了飞机?

　　(要考你的数学?测试你的IQ?实际上，这个问题的目的是测试应聘者是否具有良好的逻辑思维能力和创造性思维能力。)

　　If your line director and former line director were fighting on the street, whom would you support?当你现在的顶头上司和前任顶头上司在街上打架，你会帮谁?

　　(这么极品的问题?!别捉急，这是在考查你的人际关系处理能力。)

　　You are having dinner with a beautiful female or handsome male client, when your spouse calls you. Will you invite your spouse to join you? 当你和一位漂亮的女性客户或潇洒的男性客户用晚餐时，你的配偶突然打电话给你，你会邀请配偶和你们一起用晚餐吗?

　　(同样，这是对你人际关系处理能力的考查。)

　　Suppose that you take one of your clients to dinner. When ordering food, he or she hasordered many expensive dishes, which cost more than you can pay with the money from the company. What will you do? 当你请一位客户吃饭时，客户点菜时偏挑贵的点，价格超过了公司给你的预算，这时你会怎么办。

　　(只能说，这位客户也太不懂事了。不过，你的临场应变能力还是要好好发挥一下哦!)

　　主考官精心构思以上问题绝不是要故意为难应聘者，而是千方百计地通过这些问题深入了解应聘者的个性特点与能力等，以便进一步确定应聘者究竟是否符合公司的需求，能否胜任应聘职位。

　　应聘者在面试过程中倘若碰到此类问题，应保持沉着冷静、思路清晰。不管是何种问题，应聘者都要在了解主考官问题意图的基础上来组织自己的回答，不能因问题出乎意料而乱了方寸，慌不择词。

　　此外，应聘者表达的理由要充分、流畅、合情合理，不能一味讨好考官或者专挑好听的说，而应当以诚信为本，如实回答。

　　与此同时，应聘者可通过一些肢体语言向主考官展示自己积极、自信的面貌，因为主考官通过观察应聘者的每一个眼神和每一个细微的动作也能够了解其处事经验和性格特征。
