【秋招戰績追蹤】

Don t give a cop-out answer

不要迴避問題

Please don t give tired answers like, "My greatest weakness is that I m too much of a perfectionist/workaholic." Perhaps it is true for you, but unfortunately, it may bring false to the interviewer who is used to hearing these generic answers that come off as a way to dodge the question.

請不要給千篇一律的回答，比如：「我最大的缺點是過於追求完美/工作太拚命。」也許這是真實回答，但不幸的是，它會給面試官錯誤信息，他們習慣了聽這些通用回答，會以為你想迴避這個問題。

Be honest

要誠實

Dig deep into yourself and figure out what your true weaknesses are at work. Write them down on a sheet of paper, and figure out which ones you can use in an interview. If you state a weakness you ve struggled with, your answer will sound more honest. Some things that will help you come up with true weaknesses is to look at some of the challenges you have faced in your previous jobs or think about constructive criticism you ve received from a manager.

深入挖掘自己，找到真正的缺點。把它們寫在紙上，看看哪些可以在面試的時候說。如果你說的是讓你煩擾的缺點，聽上去會更誠實。幫助你想到真正缺點的事是看你在以前工作中遇到的困難或想想經理對你的有用批評。

Avoid deal breakers

不要說會影響面試的缺點

Although we mention that you should be honest, it s also good to remember that there is such a thing as being too honest. You need to avoid weaknesses that will hurt your chances of getting the job. For example, say if you re applying for an HR position and you say that you re not good with people, or if you re trying for a sales job and you say you are bad at negotiating. This doesn t mean that you have to make up a weakness, but it s just preferable for you to pick another weakness that isn t a deal breaker.

雖然我們剛才提到你應該誠實，但也要記住別太誠實。你要避開那些會影響你得到工作的缺點。例如，申請人力資源的職位卻說不善於與人相處，或者想做銷售卻說不擅協商。不是讓你一定要編缺點，但是挑個不會影響面試的缺點會好一些。

Talk about your attempts to overcome your weakness

要談到你為克服缺點做的努力

Always talk about the steps you have taken to overcome your weakness. This is your chance to show the interviewer that although you have your flaws, you are proactive and resourceful enough to overcome them. In a way, your effort to conquer your weaknesses will be looked at as a strength.

要說你為克服缺點做的事。這是你向面試官證明的機會，讓他們知道雖然你有缺點，但你會主動克服缺點，也有辦法克服它們。在某種程度上，你為克服缺點做的努力會被視作優點。

一般這些稍微負面一點的問題都比較固定，只需要能提前精心準備好一套自己的說辭。

面試官問你的greatest weakness，除了想知道你的弱項會否影響你在這個崗位上的表現，也有兩個很重要的目的：

（1）想知道你有多了解自己

（2）你有否有主動為自己的弱項／劣勢做出改變

應付這種表面上很負面的問題，你可以：

（1）正面用詞、態度回答一個本質負面的問題，聽起來有點難。但是，面試官就是想看你在遇到難題、挑戰的時候，你的weakness會否影響你完成工作任務。

（2）Focus on Solutions. 用一句帶過你的弱項就足夠，然後表達你已經從錯失中學習，自己已經在（必須是已經）如何改進，或是你已經改正了多少。

（3）用正面的態度回答這個問題，但不要顯得虛偽，誠懇還是非常重要的。不要編一些你根本沒有的weakness，甚至說你沒有任何weakness，這樣會顯得你自視過高。

Sample response:

「Well, I used to be pretty horrible at public speaking. When I started college, it was a massive problem, and I was just terrified of doing it, and I didn』t do a very good job.So first I took the small step of promising myself that I would speak up in front of really small groups, for example in class.Then, I worked up to takinga public speakingclass, which made a big difference. Now, even though I get nervous, I feel like its something that doesn』t completely hold me back, and, in fact, recently I gave a speech at a conference to over 100 people.My hands were shaking the whole time, but I got really good feedback at the end.」
