面試中如何談缺點(diǎn) 看國(guó)外網(wǎng)友怎么說(shuō)

Job interviews are an unpleasant chore that we all need to go through to get the role of our dreams. It's easy enough to talk about why you want the job and why you're the best person to do it.

為了得到我們夢(mèng)寐以求的工作，面試是必須經(jīng)歷的一份苦差事。談?wù)摓槭裁聪胱鲞@份工作以及為什么你是最佳人選很容易。

But there is one question that everyone dreads and is most likely to trip us all up: What's your biggest weakness?

但是，我們都害怕而又很可能都被難住的問(wèn)題是：你最大的缺點(diǎn)是什么?

A job-hunter known as humansof took to Reddit to pose the horrible question to see how other people had answered and was soon inundated with responses.

為了看看其他人如何回答這個(gè)恐怖的問(wèn)題，用戶(hù)名為humansof的求職者將問(wèn)題發(fā)在了紅迪網(wǎng)上，很快就收到了大量的回復(fù)。

Among the 1,600 comments were people's own solutions to a question that requires an example that makes you look confident but not arrogant as well as honest, but not too honest that they don't want to hire you.

該問(wèn)題需要你用一個(gè)例子讓自己看起來(lái)自信但不自大，誠(chéng)實(shí)但不要坦誠(chéng)得讓他們不想聘用你。在1600條評(píng)論中，人們對(duì)此提出了自己的解決方案。

MsLT answered the question, saying: "What about something like 'I have trouble delegating tasks sometimes. 'I like to do things myself to ensure they're done to my personal standards, but it is something I'm working on."

MsLT回答道：“說(shuō)‘我有時(shí)很難委派任務(wù)’怎么樣?我喜歡自己完成工作以確保結(jié)果符合我的個(gè)人標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，但是我正在克服這個(gè)問(wèn)題。”

Another user, Bumpkinsworth, said: 'My wife gave me a good one that kind of compiles all of this (imo):

另外一名用戶(hù)Bumpkinsworth 稱(chēng)，(在他看來(lái))他的妻子給了他一個(gè)回答此類(lèi)問(wèn)題的好答案：

"I take failure a bit too hard sometimes. Expanding on that, you can elaborate as to how that pushes you to work harder so that you won't make the same mistake twice. Seemed to work well for my last interview."

“我有時(shí)把失敗看的有點(diǎn)太重。你可以借此展開(kāi)，詳細(xì)解釋這樣如何推動(dòng)你更努力工作，讓你不會(huì)再犯同樣的錯(cuò)誤。這招似乎在我上次的面試中很管用。”

If you want to add a little humour to your interview, which can ultimately be risky, try following jumper34017's advice.

在面試中玩點(diǎn)幽默最終可能很冒險(xiǎn)，如果你想這么做，試試jumper34017的建議。

They say: 'Remain silent, and pull an index card out of your pocket that says "I over-prepare".' Skeetball agreed and replied saying: 'Making the interviewer laugh probably doubles your chances of being hired.'

“保持沉默，從口袋里拿出一張索引卡，然后說(shuō)‘我準(zhǔn)備過(guò)于充分’。”Skeetball表示同意并回復(fù)道：“讓面試官大笑可能使你被聘用的幾率翻倍。”

Another Redditer also used humour to win over the interviewers, saying: 'I had one laugh with the response, "my biggest weakness is not fully knowing my weaknesses all the time".

另一位紅迪網(wǎng)用戶(hù)也用幽默感獲得了面試官的認(rèn)同。他說(shuō)：“‘我最大的缺點(diǎn)是總不能充分認(rèn)識(shí)我的缺點(diǎn)’，這個(gè)回答讓我贏得笑聲。”

'They chuckled, a few days later I was offered the job.'

“他們輕聲一笑，幾天后我得到了這份工作。”

Sefromans replied to the thread with some useful advice: 'Saying something behavioral based like "I don't work well with people" or "I'm soft spoken" is like shooting yourself.

Sefromans在這條帖子上回復(fù)了一些實(shí)用的建議：“說(shuō)一些如‘我不善與人相處’或者‘我說(shuō)話(huà)輕聲細(xì)語(yǔ)’等行為表現(xiàn)上的事等同于自殺。”

'Give a skills based "weakness" that you can take action to improve upon in the near future.

“回答一個(gè)你能在近期內(nèi)采取措施改進(jìn)的技能缺點(diǎn)。”

'Something like "I'm not too familiar with excel at the moment, but I'm planning on taking classes this coming month". Make sure you provide a remedy to the weakness.'

“比如，‘現(xiàn)在我對(duì)Excel不是很熟悉，但我正打算下個(gè)月上課學(xué)習(xí)。’要確保你為這個(gè)缺點(diǎn)提出了補(bǔ)救方法。”

TheNoveltyAccountant recounted a story about a man that was far too honest in his answer: 'I had a man answer with "women" then proceed to tell me he got caught cheating by his wife. 'That was not the right answer.'

TheNoveltyAccountant講述了一名男子過(guò)于誠(chéng)實(shí)的回答：“我遇到過(guò)一名男子回答‘女人’，然后繼續(xù)和我說(shuō)他的妻子發(fā)現(xiàn)他出軌。這么回答可不對(duì)。”

Another response never to use comes from DameNisplay: 'Job interviews. I suck at them.'

另一個(gè)絕不能用的回答來(lái)自DameNisplay：“工作面試。我在這方面糟透了。”

Showing off a little humour might not always be a bad thing but being rude to the interviewer is definitely a big no-no.

炫耀一點(diǎn)幽默感也許不總是壞事兒，但是冒犯面試官是絕對(duì)的大禁忌。

CommonCentral took to Reddit to say: 'My biggest weakness is that I have too many strengths. 'My biggest strength is how humble I am.'

CommonCentral在紅迪網(wǎng)上說(shuō)：“我最大的缺點(diǎn)是我有太多的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。我最大的優(yōu)點(diǎn)是我非常謙虛。”

MM_OSHAUGHNESSY said: 'I've always replied with 'I have a hard time choosing between two good decisions.'

MM_OSHAUGHNESSY稱(chēng)：“我總是回答‘我面對(duì)兩個(gè)很好的決定時(shí)有選擇困難’。”

'This usually sets them up to ask how you combat this, in which I reply with something along the lines of how I weigh the pros/cons of each choice and then choose the option with the most pros and longer-term benefits.'

“這通常會(huì)讓他們問(wèn)，你是如何克服這個(gè)問(wèn)題的，此時(shí)我就回答一些關(guān)于自己如何衡量每個(gè)選擇的利弊，然后選擇最有利且長(zhǎng)期受益的選項(xiàng)。”

xoxsarebear shared her clever way around the trick question, advising people to say: 'I'm overly critical of my work.'

xoxsarebear分享了她關(guān)于這個(gè)陷阱問(wèn)題的聰明回答，她建議人們說(shuō)“我對(duì)自己的工作過(guò)于挑剔”。

This, she says, 'gives off the impression you're a hard worker, doesn't affect anyone else or your ability to do the job, and makes it seem like you actually care about what you do.'

她說(shuō)：“這給人留下的印象是，你是一個(gè)努力工作的人，不要聯(lián)系到別人或者你的工作能力上，要說(shuō)的像是你真的非常關(guān)心自己的工作。”
