本文要点：应聘,面试,英语,对话,中英对照

　　问：你想改变你的管理形式的哪些方面？

　　答：别人向我征求意见时，我常常控制着自己不把答案直接告诉别人。我认为使别人学会如何解决问题更为重要。我越来越善于教导别人并提出问题，但我从不告诉别人该怎么做。

　　谈谈你正在努力改进的管理方式的一个方面。告诉面试官你采取的步骤，并给出证据来说明你取得的进步。

　　Q:What aspect of your management style would you like to change?

　　A:Ive been working on holding back the urge to tell people the answers when they ask for advice.I think its more mportant to teach people how to solve their own problems.Ive gotten better at coaching and presenting questions and feedback without telling people what to do.

　　问：你有没有感到上司及同事对你的排斥？

　　答：我必须说明一下为何我曾认为黑白色调更切合保险小册子的内容。最初，办公室里没有人赞同这个想法，因为我们都习惯于彩色的册子，人人都认为黑白册子看上去显得低档。最后我终于说服大家，用更为巧妙的方法呈现死亡抚慰金这一大难题会更行之有效。

　　举出具体例子说明你为自己的观点辩护的例子。避开谈及个性抵触、怨恨情绪或愤怒的争吵。你如何令别人理解你的观点？结果如何？一定要以积极的语气结束谈话。　　

　　Q:Have you ever felt defensive around your boss or peers?

　　A:I had to explain once why I thought a blackandwhite brochure was more suitable for the content of an insuranceproduct brochure.No one in my office liked the idea initially,because we were all used to color brochures,and everybody felt that black and white looked cheap.Eventually I convinced them that a more subtle approach would work better to present information about a difficult topicdeath benefits.

　　问：谈谈影响你管理风格的一次学习经历。

　　答：我早期在银行工作时，给一位副执行主席发信，但忘记给在他手下做事的两位副行政主席发副本。其中一位断定我有意作梗。从那以后，我对关键环节非常小心。

　　把你的回答内容稍作改变，用以回应这个问题：“谈谈你最不喜欢的经理或监督员”。在此描述一次正面或反面的使你获得有效管理经验的教训，或者描述一位经理让你做你认为难以实现的事情的手段，他是如何激发你的？

　　Q:Tell me about a learning experience that affected your management style.

　　A:Early in my job at the bank，I wrote a letter to an EVP but failed to make copies for the two AVPs who worked for him.One of them was impacted by the content of the memo and concluded that Id circumvented him on purpose.Ive really been careful about chain of command ever since.

　　问：你有没有仿效过别人的管理形式？

　　答：我在许多方面效仿我的第一位上司。我在桌上为每个工作成员准备了一个文件袋。他们可把便条、想法、要我检查的工作或其他东西放在那儿，我就用这些材料来处理事情。这成为我们大家沟通的另一种形式。那么，当我们坐下来谈论时，要解决的问题都在手头上了。
