本文要点：应聘,面试,英语,对话

　　面试官可能会以这种或者那种形式问你这个问题。这个问题与“在你以前的那份工作中，你的愿望与现实有什么相异之处？”那个问题很相似，但更巧妙一点。虽然从根本上说，这两个问题都是在确定同一样东西，但是这种提问形式更巧妙一点。许多首次应聘者对他们的公司抱有幻想，而且对于从事平凡的抄写员的工作感到意外与不快。雇主想确信你对该工作抱有现实的态度，还有你会愉快地在那个职位上工作好几年。

　　Q:What would you say are the broad responsibilities of an 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 letters, have some limited correspondence with authors, and generally assist the editor in whatever needed to be done.

　　问：你熟知什么电脑系统和软件？

　　答：我用过装有办公软件的个人电脑，软件包括WORD、WORDPERFECT、LOTUS 123和EXCEL。同样我也有使用MACINTOSH系统的经验。通过对电脑网络的研究，我已对局域网熟悉起来。我们使用某公司的电脑系统和软件，它们就培训我们如何排解一些基本的故障问题。

　　在今天的商业环境里，电脑操作能力是必需的。WORD文字处理程序和EXCEL电子制表经验是必要的，熟悉数据库的操作或制图程序也一样有用。大多数行业使用PC机，但很多创新型领域，如出版业和广告业就使用MACINTOSH。假如你正在面试这个领域里的一家公司，你会发现熟悉MACS的好处。

　　Q:What computer systems and software do you know?

　　A:Ive used PCs with general office software such as Microsoft Word for Windows,WordPerfect,Lotus123,and Excel.I have some experience with Macintosh systems as well. And through my search for a computer network,I've gained some familiarity with local networks;the computer company we used trained me on basic troubleshooting issues.

　　问：举出一个例子说明你是如何不顾困难把一个项目坚持到底的。

　　答：实际上我已逐渐退出某个账目，但作为一个顾问仍保持着对其跟踪服务，因为那个顾客威胁说要是他不跟我交易，他就撤销账户。3个多月来，我一边做补偿调整工作，一边逐渐减少出面次数，这样就使那顾客觉得愉快多了。

　　示范你是如何收集资料和预见并解决困难的。你的回答应集中在如何解决困难和执行方案上，而不是集中在困难的本身。

　　Q:Give an example of how you saw a project through,despite obstacles.

　　A: I actually rotated off an account but kept my hand in it as an adviser, because the client had threatened to pull the account if he wasnt dealing with me.Over three months I was able to make the client more comfortable with my replacement while I slowly decreased my presence.
