16、riting abilities?A:I really concentrated on further developing my writing skills while I got my MBA.I took an entrepreneurial class in which the chief assignment was developing, writing, and continually rewriting a very involved business plan.一個助理編輯的廣泛職責是什么？我肯定不同的公司有不同的責任要求，但最基本的是，一個助理編輯要會打字、文件歸檔和一般

17、的行政工作。也許還要閱讀書籍和寫書評，寫退稿信，與作者進行一些簡單的書信交流，還有協助編輯處理需要完成的工作。面試官可能會以這種或者那種形式問你這個問題。這個問題與“在你以前的那份工作中，你的愿望與現實有什么相異之處？”那個問題很相似，但更巧妙一點。雖然從根本上說，這兩個問題都是在確定同一樣東西，但是這種提問形式更巧妙一點。許多首次應聘者對他們的公司抱有幻想，而且對于從事平凡的抄寫員的工作感到意外與不快。雇主想確信你對該工作抱有現實的態度，還有你會愉快地在那個職位上工作好幾年。Q: What would you say are the broad responsibilities of an

18、editorial assistant?A: Though I m sure it varies from company to company, I think it would be safe to say that being an editorial assistant involves a lot of typing, filing, and general administrative work. I would probably be expected to read and evaluate book proposals, write manuscript rejection

19、letters, have some limited correspondence with authors, and generally assist the editor in whatever needed to be done.現任的老板會不會把你看做是一個有超前意識的員工？絕對會。實際上，在我年度工作評語里她說我是她員工隊伍中最可靠和適應能力最強的人。我認為主要歸因于我善于應變和超越別人的能力。您想聽一個例子嗎？隨時準備提供一個你毅然堅持到底并獲得重大成果的重要項目。說明你在解決一個棘手問題時的可靠性和自覺性。假如你描述你“長時間工作”，則要保證說明你這個時間是高效的，而不是低效率的

20、。Q: Would your current boss describe you as the kind of employee who goes the extra mile?A: Absolutely. In fact, on my annual evaluations she writes that I'm the most dependable and flexible person on her staff. I think this is mostly because of my ability to juggle and prioritize. Would you lik

21、e an example?員工們有的注重思想，有的注重實干，你如何評價自己呢？對我來說在每個項目上都有明確的方向是重要的，那就是為什么與思路清晰的管理者在一起，我能成為很好的支持者的原因。我總是能很好地完成任務。通過這個問題，面試官在尋找一個恰當的人選。假如工作以團體為主而該應聘者偏愛獨立工作，那問題就出現了。在完成過去的工作項目時，你是否按工作任務所指定的界限進行呢？向我證明你的說服能力。在我做暑期實習生期間，我被派去對一主要公共設施的所有通訊費用基準進行調查研究。我必須取得屬于幾個不同部門的員工的一致意見。遺憾的是，因我是實習生，被拒絕合作。我不得不和每個員工單獨會面，并說服他們，我現在所

22、做的一切最終都是有益于他自己的部門及整個公司。經過一個月的努力，我終于說服了他們，計劃得以圓滿地實施，最后拿到了因努力而掙得的獎金。這是個考查領導能力的問題，不過盡可能別用你被指定為領導者的例子。可能的話，描述你沒有真正職權的一次經歷，但你運用你的說服能力獲得人們對你的支持。描繪你努力的目標和你的努力的結果。大家為什么會信任你？Q: Give me proof of your persuasiveness.A uring my summer internship I was assigned the task of conducting a benchmarking study for all

23、 the communication expenditures for a major utility. I had to get the consensus of employees in several different departments. Unfortunately, they resented the fact that I was just a summer intern, and they refused to cooperate. I had to schedule individual meetings with every employee and persuade

24、each one that what I was doing would be ultimately beneficial to his or her own department and to the company. After a frustrating month I finally got everyone's cooperation, the project went flawlessly, and in the end I received a bonus for my efforts.你的上司對你的主動性會作出什么評價？做任何工作我通常都能找到工作中低效的原因，我總是首

25、先為改進而提出解決方法。最初的幾個月，向上司提出改進意見時，他有點驚訝和緊張，最后，他接受了我有好主意這個事實，并且鼓勵我把最好的構思詳細地寫進每個月的計劃里，以便他能給我提供資料改進那些正規管理基礎上的解決方案。我的首份任務就是改進我們其中一個制造廠的存貨控制。因為已有的存貨和記錄數目不相符，于是我制定了一個全新的訂購存貨制度，并用其數據來追溯存貨的來歷。例如，什么時候用的、怎樣用的，我的建議也做必要的調整。第一年，我把我們非得承擔的存貨總值降低了23%。結果是，我的上司把我看成了一個常起帶頭作用的人。描述一個你自愿去繼續解決一個存在問題或避免一個潛在問題的項目。你是如何用你的見解主動地博取

26、你上司的好感的？側重在這個構思的創新性、你的途徑以及你所取得的成效上。Q: What would your last supervisor say about your initiative?A: In any job I hold I can usually find inefficiencies in a process, and I always try to take some initiative to come up with a solution for improvement. My last supervisor was a little surprised and flus

27、tered the first few months when I was constantly coming to him with my ideas for improvements. He finally accepted the fact that I had some good ideas and encouraged me to write up in a proposal every month my one best idea so that he could get me the resources to tackle the solution on a formal bas

28、is. My first big project had to do with improving the inventory control in one of our manufacturing shops. Because the records for inventory receivable were inconsistent, I set up an entirely new inventory order system and used that data to trace the history of the inventory，for example, when it was

29、 used, how it was used, and my recommendations for necessary replacement. I reduced the total value of the inventory we had to carry by 23 percent the first year. As a result, my supervisor would always use me as an example of someone who's constantly taking the initiative.描述一下你與地位較高的人及地位較低的人一起工

30、作的融洽程度？每天兩次送郵件的那個郵差已經成了我的好朋友。我曾經邀請他到家里與我的家人見面，而且在周末我們經常一起參加棒球比賽。我與總經理的關系也很好，我倆有共同的興趣，包括航海和在冬天獵鹿。這里要說得具體，告訴面試官你已經形成了一種能和各種各樣的人一起工作的風格。Qescribe your comfort level working with people of higher rank and people of lower rank.A: The person that delivers our mail twice a day has become a good friend. I ve

31、 invited him to my house to meet my family, and we often go to baseball games together on the weekends. I can also relate well to my general manager. We both have common interests, which include sailing and elk hunting in winter.Q: Employees tend to be either concept oriented or task oriented. How d

32、o you describe yourself?A: It's important for me to have clear direction on each project. That's why I'm good in support roles with managers who have very specific ideas. I m thorough at carrying out the tasks.如果事情不按你所計劃的發展，你又如何重新部署呢？我開始想像有可能出現的最壞結果，然后找出能避免那糟糕結果出現的預防措施。這樣做之后，我通常都能取得和原定目標

33、不相上下的結果。我前面敘述的那個培訓例子就是證明。描述曾經出現的困難迫使你改變原來的計劃，但你還是達到了預期的目的。你是否得到別人的協助支持才能實現這個目標的？吃一塹，長一智，你以后又是如何預見困難的呢？Q: How do you regroup when things haven't gone as planned?A:I start by trying to imagine the worst possible outcome; then I back up and identify precautions I can take to avoid that scenario. In

34、 this way I usually end up with a result close to the original goal. The training example I described earlier is proof of that skill.你想努力提高或改變什么方面的個人技巧或工作習慣呢？我必須學會拒絕。我過去常愛幫助別人，甚至到了別人濫用我的好意的地步。現在我向能有回報的人提供幫助。總的來說，交換是比較公平的。隨著時間的推移，我們辦公室人員的合作也大大提高了。這個問題與“敘述你在最近的工作上是如何改進職業技能”相似。可是，在這里你很可能想談及從最早的工作或在相對較久

35、遠的時間里，你技能的發展，但要使面試官相信這種特殊的工作習慣不再是一種工作阻礙了。Q: What personal skill or work habit have you struggled to improve?A:I had to learn to say no. I used to be helpful to the point that other staff abused my goodwill. Now I offer to help by countering with something I'd like help on in return. On balance I

36、 believe the trade off is more equitable, and cooperation in our office has improved over time.考慮一下以下的情景：一天晚上，你工作到很晚，是留在辦公室最后的一個人。你接到一個找管理人員的緊急電話，是銷售代表打來的，現在他正在會見一個潛在的客戶。他要對一個問題作出答復，否則的話，明天就太晚了。你能回答這個問題，但這超出了你應有的職權范圍。這種情況下你會作出什么反應？答：我會收集所有有關的資料、文件證明，然后回答他這個問題。第二天早上我會給管理人員留張紙條，告訴他這件事的詳情，說明我所作的決定和解釋我的

37、思考過程。這個回答顯示出求職者對他自己的能力充滿信心，而且他在處理緊急事件的時候是靠得住的。同樣，你的回答應表明，在棘手的情況下，你絕不膽怯做一名決策者，即使這種情況下的決定超出你的職權范圍。Q: Consider the following scenario :You re working late one evening and are the last person in the office .You answer an urgent telephone call to your supervisor from a sales rep who's currently meeti

38、ng with a potential client .The sales rep needs an answer to a question to close the sale .Tomorrow will be too late .You have the expertise to answer the question ,but it's beyond your normal level of authority. How would you respond?A: I'd get all the pertinent information, taking well doc

39、umented notes. I'd then answer the question based on my knowledge and the information provided. I'd leave my supervisor a note and fill him or her in on the details then next morning. I'd be sure to explain my decision, as well as the thought process behind it.說說你和以前幾位上司的關系。我的幾位上司會告訴你，我是他們出色的助理，我和三位上司在一起時，我們之間是良師益友，雖然智慧和專業水準是他們強，但在關于客戶問題的決策上我總是能幫他們一把。面試官感興趣的是，適合這個職位的求職者和其上司在一起時是否會相處得愉快。當你講述每一位
