想不紧张吗？请备好回答这20个问题
Job interviews can be daunting at the best of times especially when we worry about what kinds of questions will come up. That fear of something being asked that we haven’t prepared for or which throws us off in our nervous state, is enough to make anyone dread an interview.
求职面试，可能会在最佳时间让人觉得胆怯，特别是担心面试官会问什么类型问题的时间。我们害怕面试官会问一些我们没准备的问题，或者让我们感到紧张的问题，这确实足以让任何人在面试中感到害怕。
But there are some standard questions that are always going to come up and if you prepare these answers well, you will feel much more confident in yourself and will transcend throughout the interview process.
其实，有些常规的问题总是会出现，如果准备好这些问题的答案，你会对自己更有信心，并在整个面试过程中得以超越自己。
Preparation Is the Best Way to Boost Your Confidence
面试准备，是增强自信的最佳方法
Preparation creates the mindset of ability and gives us the confidence in ourselves. There’s an expectation that the typical interview questions require a high standard of answer without hesitation. Preparing your answers well doesn’t mean memorising them so you can recall it like a parrot, but giving good thought about what you want to say and how you’d like to present yourself.
面试准备，创造了有能力的心态，给了我们自己以自信。我们期望对典型的面试问题都以高水准的答案流利作答。准备好答案，并不意味要像只鹦鹉那样记住答案，你得好好想想自己想说什么，以及想如何展现自己。
With this in mind, here are the most common interview questions and answers you can prepare for ultimate confidence.
考虑到这一点，以下是最常见的20个面试的问题和答案，你可以为最终的面试自信做好准备。
Tell me about yourself.
跟我谈谈你自己吧。
This is the typical open-ended question that an interviewer will start with. The main purpose is to break the ice and make the atmosphere feel more comfortable. It’s also a way to let the interviewer see a bit of your personality.
这是一个典型的开放式问题，面试官会从问这个问题开始。问这个问题的主要目的是破冰，使气氛更加舒适，这也是一种让面试官发现你个性的方法。
The key is not to go into too much detail or bring up irrelevant information. Start by mentioning a hobby you’re passionate about that can show off a positive side of you such as being a long-distance runner or an avid reader. Mention any volunteer opportunities you’re involved with to show your value and contribution.
回答这个问题的关键点是：不要讲太多的细节，也不要提不相关的信息。首先，可以提及你热爱的一个爱好，这可以展示你积极的一面，比如：长跑运动员，或是热心的读者。而提及参与的志愿者活动，则可以展示你的价值和贡献。
After which, start to bring in your professional experience with a phrase like: “That being said, my professional life is a major part of who I am and I’d like to talk a bit about what I can bring to this role.”
在此之后，请用这样的说法来介绍自己的专业经验：“可以这么说，职业生涯是我个人经验的主要部分，我想谈谈我能为这个岗位带来什么。”
Keep this quite brief though, as you don’t want to talk too much and save having to repeat yourself in later questions.
不过，请简要的回答，你不要说太多，没必要在后面的问题中重复自己说的话。
What responsibilities did you have in your previous job?
你在之前的工作职责是什么？
This is where your knowledge of your CV or resume is paramount as well as the job description for this role. Always try to relate this to the current role you’re going for.
对自己履历或简历的熟悉程度，与所求职的岗位一样重要，要尝试将这一点与自己当前所想得到的岗位联系起来。
For example, if you are going for a management role, talk about any projects you’ve led or people you had to manage – anything where you had lead responsibility.
例如，如果你想要得到管理岗位，那么，就请你谈谈自己负有领导责任的事情-领导了某个项目，或者去管理人员。
This is also an opportunity to show your personality and stop yourself from being just a name on a page. Show them that you are responsible and personable – try not to recount bog-standard, boring answers.
这也是一个展示你的个性的机会，并防止让自己仅仅成为网页上的一个名字而已。请向面试官展示你是富有责任感与风度的-尽量不要去重复毫无新意/令人厌烦的答案。
What did you find challenging about your previous job and how did you deal with these challenges?
你觉得自己以前的工作有什么挑战性，你是如何应对这些挑战的？
What did you find challenging about your previous job and how did you deal with these challenges?
你觉得自己以前的工作有什么挑战性，你是如何应对这些挑战的？
This question is trying to see how you handle difficulties and how effective your problem-solving skills are. Talk about a challenge with a positive outcome and explain how you dealt with it and what you learned for future similar situations.
问这个问题，是想看看你如何处理困难的，以及解决问题的技巧有效性怎么样。讲一个有正面影响的挑战，并解释你是如何处理的，以及对于以后类似的情况，你学到了什么。
“When we came across a major glitch in our software system that would affect our workflow and ability to sustain smooth work processes, it was my job to get the software engineers together and problem-solve. I learned how to motivate and organise the team in order to get the quickest and most productive income.”
“我们遇到软件系统中的一个重大的故障，该故障影响到了我们的工作流程，也影响把工作流程维持在平稳水平的能力，我的工作就是召集了软件工程师解决了该问题。我学会了如何激励和组织团队，以获得最快和最有效的收益。”
What did you like or dislike about your previous job?
你喜不喜欢以前的工作？
Whatever your response, remember to keep this positive even if you disliked some of what you did in your previous role – they are trying to elicit how you typically react to a role. Remember to try and keep your answer related to the skills required for the current job vacancy and keep your answers engaging and descriptive.
无论如何回答，请记住：即使你不喜欢之前工作上所做的一些事情，一定要保持积极的态度，面试官是尝试了解你对某个岗位的典型响应。记住：要尽量保持将你的回答与当前申请的职位空缺所需要的技能相关联，请让自己的回答富有吸引力，并做到客观描述。
For example you could say: “I helped streamline the company’s in-house workflow system and was recognised for saving significant time on daily operations.”
例如，你可以这么说：“我曾促进将公司内部的工作流程系统得以简化，并因为该简化工作可以节省大量时间而获得认可。”
Any reward-oriented answers are particularly effective here.
只要是以奖励为导向的回答，在回答这个问题上都是特别有效的。
What is your greatest strength?
你最大的优势是什么？
This can be a difficult one because many of us try to be humble about our strengths but it’s important to be confident without showing off – a fine balance! It’s important to show the interviewer that you have the right qualities they are looking for.
该问题可能是一个很难的问题，因为许多人都试图对自己的优势保持谦逊的态度，但重要的是要自信而不炫耀—很不错的平衡！要让面试官知道你有他们想要的品质，这一点是非常重要的。
Focus on the strengths needed for the job. For example, you can say something like: “I have great time-management skills due to working in such a deadline-driven environment. This caused me to finish projects way ahead of schedule and I was given recognition in my current role for finishing one particular project two weeks in advance.”
重点关注所申请的岗位所需的优势。例如，可以这样说：“鉴于在受截止时间驱使的工作环境中，我具备很好的时间管理技能。这也让我可以远在计划之前就可以完成项目，曾经因为提前两周完成一个特殊的项目，在目前的岗位上得到了认可。”
What is your greatest weakness?
你最大的劣势是什么？
This is another one that can trip us up. The best way to answer this is to be honest and show the ways in which you’ve overcome a particular weakness.
这是另一个能让我们犯错的问题。回答这个问题的最佳方法是要做到坦诚，并展示你是如何克服某个具体的劣势的。
“Being organised wasn’t my strongest point, but I implemented a time management system that really helped my organisation skills.”
“实际上，组织能力并不是我的最强项，不过，通过实施时间管理的方法，确实对于我个人的组织能力改进起到了一定的作用。”
如果你想要得到的工作压力很大的话，如何处理压力这一点则尤为重要。面试官其实是想知道，在面对压力时，你会如何响应。
A good answer could be: “Pressure is a good tool for me as it helps me stay motivated and productive. I feel my strong organisational skills have allowed me to develop the ability to create small and manageable schedules in order to help me accomplish a project.”
比较好的回答可能是：“对我来说，压力是一个不错的工具，可以帮助我保持动力和效率。为了完成一个项目，我觉得自己具备的强有力的组织技能，可以让我培养制定细微且易于管理的计划的能力。”
