關於「過去的成就」的問題
在回答此問題時最好能夠提出數據作為重點。
1. What are your biggest accomplishments? (你最大的成就是甚麼?)
2. What two or three accomplishments have given you the most satisfaction? Why? . . (有哪兩三樣成就給你最大的滿足?為甚麼?)
3. What were the most memorable accomplishments at your last job? . . (你最後一個工作中最難忘的成就是甚麼?)
• I really stopped to listen to what my customers wanted, rather than just trying to sell them. I sold 20% more after I had changed my attitude. (自從我改變態度,真正地聆聽顧客的需要,而不只是試著推銷東西之後,我的銷售增加了百分之二十。)
• I realized I needed to know a lot more to help my clients, so I enrolled in a tax seminar. I really felt more confidence later and I got 20% of customers. (我體認到我需要懂更多以幫助我的客戶,所以我參加了一項稅務講習課程。後來覺得有信心多了,也增加了百分之二十的顧客。)
關於「形容自己」的問題
這是最關鍵的一個問題,尤其現在有許多面談是群體面談的場面,雇主會要求每位應徵者自我介紹,然後說明為甚麼要替他們公司工作。在回答這個問題時,可以說一些半個人(semi-personal),但是與職業有關的特性。通常要針對公司需要的人才特點來說明,
例如應徵銷售人員就要以articulate(能言善道)、persuasive(有說服力)為重點,如果是必須注意細節的會計人員就要以attentive(注意的)、detailed(詳細的),再加上所有公司都要求的adaptable(適應力強的)、responsible(負責任的)、through(有始有終的)。在說明時還要配合工作上的實際情形才不會有突兀之感。
01. Tell me something about yourself. (告訴我關於你自己?)
02. How would you describe yourself? (你會怎麼形容你自己?)
03. If you could describe yourself in three words, what would they be and why? . . . (如果你可以用三個字形容你自己,你會用哪三個字? 為甚麼? )
04. What are three words that best describe you? (哪三個字是形容你最貼切的字?)
05. Tell me, who is (insert your name). (告訴我誰是你?)
06. Describe your personality. (形容一下你的個性?)
07. Are you primarily a "number" person? (你根本上是個有數字觀念的人嗎?)
08. Are you creative? If yes, in what way? (你有創造力嗎? 如果有,在哪些方面呢?)
09. I'd like to know a little more about you. (我想多瞭解一點關於你這個人。)
10. What would people who have worked for you say about you? . . . (和你一起工作過的人會怎麼說你這個人?)
11. What five adjectives describe you best? (用哪五個形容詞描述你最適當?)
12. Rate yourself on a scale of one to ten. (請用零到十的等級指標,評價你自己。)
13. How would you describe your character? (你會如何描述自己的性格?)

關於「自己優點」的問題
當被問到這個問題時,要挑選與實際工作有關的優點來談,不要以為主試者對你這個「人」有興趣,事實上主試者是在問下列和職務有關的問題:

6. What evidence or proof can you provide to substantiate your claim? . . (你有甚麼證據可以讓你的聲稱實體化?)
7. Can you prioritize? If a lot of things are true of you, what things are most true of you? . . (你可以把關於你的一些事按優先順序排列嗎? 哪些是最真正的你?)
• I'm very trustworthy. (我很值得信賴。)
