and today I'm going to answer the question for you " Tell me about yourself."

我今天要來為各位回答，在面試中遇到"談談看你自己"這道題目，該如何回答

just like I do inside the Complete Interview Answer Guide , I mean

就像我在 the Complete Interview Answer Guide說到的一樣

where to start? What do they want to know? I mean, should you start in high school?

從什麼時間點開始談? 面試官們想知道些什麼? 我的意思是，你可以從高中開始娓娓道來嗎?

college? first-grade? It's one of the most frequently asked questions in the interview

還是大學?一年級? 這是一個非常常在面試中被問到的問題

When the way you answer this question is going to set the tone for

你回答的方式會影響

the rest of the interview.

後續的整個面試的論調

This can be a challenging question answer

這可以是一個很有挑戰性的問題

if you're not prepared for it. But it's really asked

如果你沒有準備的話。但這真的很常被問來

as an icebreaker. Like I said this is an open-ended question

當作一個破冰的問題。就像雖然我說這是一個開放式的問題

but really what the interviewer wants to hear about

但面試官們真的想聽到的

is your recent work experience.I mean why don't they just ask

是你最近的工作經驗。我的意思是，他們為什麼不就問

ask you know about your recent work experience because they want to see

問你對於你最近工作的經驗，因為他們想知道

where you gonna go

你會怎麼回答

within an open-ended question. I mean your answer tells them a lot. It tells them where your mind is.

在一個開放式的問題當中。說真的你的答案告訴他們很多資訊，它透露了你的心態是什麼。

If you start telling them, you know, when asked this question know that you're Cleveland Browns fan

如果被問到這個問題，你回答你是美式足球隊Cleveland Browns的粉絲

well, then you way off base with what they want to hear

你的答案就是他們並沒興趣的

and you've just make your first interview mistake. Now what do you want the interviewer to know about you when you leave?

你已經犯了面試中第一個錯誤。想想，你想要在面試離開前讓主考官知道關於你些什麼事?

Do you want them to know about your work experience? or your personal interest?

你想讓他們知道你的工作經驗，還是個人的喜好興趣?

confident for hiring decision is gonna be based

當然，要決定用誰一定是基於

on your work experience. Save your personal interest

考量你的工作經驗。把你的個人喜好興趣

for the water cooler after you get the job. I'm gonna tell you the wrong way to

在拿到工作後再向別人談起。我要來示範錯誤的方式

answer this question

回答這個問題

don't pro it back in their lab and said what would you like to know

不要在面試室中問他們，你們想知道些什麼?

That the answer really been floating around for a while

這個答案是開放式的

and all I really does is just kinda shut that question right back at the

問了後就像把問題丟回給面試官一樣

interviewer in an insulting way

還是用很汙辱人的方式

and we don't need to re-ask the question.They just gonna not appreciate that

我們不需要重述問題，他們不會覺得這樣是好的

A better way to answer that would be to say, you know, what part of my work experience would you like me to talk about

比較好的方式，你可以說，你們對我哪部份的工作有興趣?

And I say this way because I mean now the interviewer they can reply with the simple straightforward answer

因為面試官可以回答較直接了當的問題(而不是開放性，還要想要怎麼回答你反問的問題)

and some interviewers want you to start from your first job,you know they have thirty years ago

有些面試官會從你第一份工作開始談起，可能是三十年前

and others just want to hear about what you've been doing recently

但也有一些比較想聽到你最近的工作

if the interviewer want would like you to start from the first job ,mean assuming it's been several years and she has the job then lightly touch on the jobs that you no longer hold but
