Worldwide Panel LLC, a small market-research firm, is getting flooded with resumes for four vacancies in sales and information technology. 小型市场研究公司Worldwide Panel LLC准备招聘4名销售和IT技术人员,结果收到了大量简历。 However, officials expect to reject numerous applicants after asking them: ’What is your greatest weakness?’ Candidates often respond ’with something that is not a weakness,’ say Christopher Morrow, senior vice president of the Calabasas, Calif., concern. ’It is a deal breaker.’ 不过,招聘人员预计,在向应聘者发问“你最大的缺点是什么?之后,会有很多人被淘汰。Worldwide高级副总裁莫罗(Christopher Morrow)说,对这个问题,应聘者的回答往往并非缺点,他们因此过不了关。 The weakness question represents the most common and most stressful one posed during interviews. Yet in today’s weak job market, the wrong answer weakens your chances of winning employment. “缺点问题是求职面试中最常见也最让人头痛的一个问题。而在眼下就业市场疲软的情况下,不恰当的回答将降低你赢得工作的机会。 Some people offer replies they mistakenly assume that bosses love, such as ’I am a perfectionist.’ That response ’will be used against you’ because you appear incapable of delegating, warns Joshua Ehrlich, dean of a master’s program in executive coaching sponsored by BeamPines Inc., a New York coaching firm and Middlesex University in London. |
