应聘面试中常用的英语对话(5)

本文要点：应聘,面试,英语,对话,中英对照

　　问：请举例说明有一次你被要求完成一项任务，但却没有得到足够的资料，你怎样解决这种问题？

　答：在上一次实习期间，我的上司—— 一个主管账目的行政人员，叫我收集好500份宣传稿去邮寄。我不是很确定宣传稿的次序和该往哪里寄，而我的上司已经出去与客户会面了。我担心把资料堆在一块会把次序弄乱，于是想方设法找到她的移动电话。

　　在电话里她向我详细说明了资料的次序。最后，我设法避免了有可能花费更多的工作时间，并且可能耽搁邮寄时间的错误，更别提一些令人头痛的事情。

　　虽然这个例子听似很琐碎，但却证明了应聘者的成熟和理性处理工作问题的能力。面试官想弄清楚你是否知道仅仅把工作完成是不够的。你的回答应该表现出你随机应变的能力和积极主动的特质。

　　Q:Give an example of a time when you were asked to accomplish a task but werent given enough information. How did you resolve this problem.

　　A:At my last internship, my supervisor, an account executive, asked me to assemble five hundred press kits for a mailing. I wasn't sure in what order the pages and press releases should go, but my supervisor had already left for a client meeting. Afraid of putting the information together in the wrong order, I managed to track down her cellphone number and called her in her car. She explained the order of the materials over the phone, and in the end I managed to prevent a mistake that would have cost hours of work and a delay in the mailingnot to mention a few headaches.

　　问：谈谈一次你不能解决的矛盾冲突。

　　答：有一次，我没能挽留一个在我的制造工厂里干了10年的优秀员工。由于他的工作渐渐需要掌握电脑技术，于是我试着让他进夜校进修，但他却拒绝了。所以除了换掉他之外，我没有其他办法。回想起来，如果我鼓励他和其他员工定期接受技能培训，当他重新上岗时，也许他就不会被淘汰了。现在我很注重鼓励我的员工们参与一些研讨会和课程学习来提高他们自身的工作技能，避免变得落伍。

　　在这里，最好的方法就是谈一个不是该由你来解决的矛盾冲突。如果必须谈你个人所遇到的矛盾冲突，那就重点谈一下如果时光倒流，你能再做一次的话，你会采取的积极措施及你从这次经历中学到了什么。

Qescribe a time when you failed to resolve a conflict.

　　A:I wasnt able to keep a good employee once who'd been in our manufacturing facility for ten years. His job description was rewritten to require computer skills. I offered to send him to night classes, but he refused the help. I had no option but to replace him. In retrospect, if Id encouraged him and other employees to acquire new training periodically, he might not have been overwhelmed by the time his position was reworked. Now Im vigilant about encouraging my group to attend seminars and urses to enhance their job skills and to avoid becoming outdated.
