You’ve researched the company, updated your CV and even stalked the CEO on Facebook – and now you just have to make it through the interview.
你已对某个公司做了查询拜访，更新了简历，乃至在Facebook上寂静存眷了这个公司的CEO——如今你万事俱备，只欠口试了。
Increasingly, in order to scout out the top talent, businesses are now throwing curveball questions during the interview process. Asking about seemingly unrelated topics can help give a company a wider snapshot into the person and their life.
为了物色精采人材，如今愈来愈多的公司起头在口试环节设置一些出人意表的问题，这些看似不相干的问题实则可以快速捕获应聘者及其糊口的大致环境。
But whilst you may know what animal you’d be and how to sell a fridge to an eskimo, it’s actually the more straightforward questions that can catch an applicant out – and they’re the most vital.
可是，虽然你晓得你想成为甚么动物，和怎么把冰箱卖给爱斯基摩人，那些令应聘者猝不及防的其实是加倍直白的问题——而这些问题才是最关头的。
FEMAIL called on business brains, recruiters and top career experts to reveal the interview questions every candidate should know the answer to by heart – and how to handle them if one is thrown your way.
《逐日邮报》女性专栏约请了企业高管、雇用职员和顶级职业专家来揭露这些每一个应聘者都理当明了于心的口试问题，和当你碰到如许的问题时要若何应答。
What are you proud to have accomplished at your last job?
在上一份事情中，甚么使你最有成绩感？
This question gives the interviewer the opportunity to learn your strengths. Simply saying: ‘I increased social media engagement’ isn’t going to give your interviewer a sense of what you accomplished. Instead, tell them how you increased social media engagement for the company and why your help was valuable.
口试官可以经由过程这个问题领会你的利益。仅仅说“我提高了社交媒体介入度”其实不会让口试官领会到你做成为了甚么事。而是要奉告他们你是如作甚公司提高社交媒体介入度的，为甚么你的帮忙是有价值的。
It’s important to master the art of the humble brag to make a good impression. Feeling proud of your accomplishments is fine. Endlessly discussing your value to the last company you worked for gives the impression you are arrogant.
谦善地自诩很是首要，把握这门艺术可以给人留下杰出的印象。你可以对本身的成绩感触自豪，但喋大言不惭本身对前雇主的价值只会给人留下自豪的印象。
How would your previous manager describe you?
你上一任司理会怎么评价你呢？
Why are you being asked? An interviewer will use this question to gauge how you see yourself in manager’s eyes, and to determine how well you get along with management.
为甚么会问你如许的问题？经由过程这个问题，口试官可以猜测你感觉你在司理眼中是甚么模样的，进而判定你与办理层的瓜葛相处得若何。
Remember, if you’ve given (or plan to give) your previous manager as a reference, the interviewer can confirm your answer to this question, so it’s best to be as honest as possible. Talk about your attitude toward work, ability to work in a group and the positive aspects of your working relationship with your old manager. If you don’t get along with your old manager, try not to let this influence your response, and instead talk about your role within your previous team.
请记着，若是被问及（或你本身筹备说起）你的前任司理，口试官是可以去证明你的答复的，是以最佳尽量地诚笃。谈谈你对事情的立场、团队互助的能力，和与前任司理事情瓜葛中的踊跃一壁。若是你与前任司理瓜葛欠好，不要为此影响你的答复，可以转而谈谈你在前事情团队中饰演的脚色。
Why are you looking to leave your current job?
为甚么要抛却如今的事情？
The interviewer wants to know that you have clearly thought through your decision to leave your current job, and that you know what you want out of your next role.
口试官想经由过程这个问题晓得你是不是已沉思熟虑，
明白决议抛却如今的事情，而且晓得你想鄙人个事情中获得甚么。
Never use this question as an excuse to complain about your current or previous employer, as it will make you sound unprofessional! Instead, take the opportunity to explain areas in which you’d like to be more challenged, projects you haven’t had the opportunity to work on, or simply elaborate on why this move is right for you at this time. Focus on the positive aspects of what else you have to offer professionally and how it fits within the role you’re applying for.
永久不要以这个问题为来由来埋怨现任或前任雇主，由于这会使你听起来很不专业。相反，你要借此机漫谈谈你感乐趣的更富挑战性的范畴、之前没有机遇做的项目，或只是论述为甚么此次跳槽现在对你来讲是准确的选择。要集中讲述你还能在专业上有甚么进献，你申请的这一职位为甚么合适你。
Tell me about a time when you messed up at work. How did you fix your mistake? 你有把事情搞砸的履历吗？你是怎样补充毛病的？
Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone has the ability to quickly solve 
them on their own.
人人城市出错，但其实不是每小我都有能力快速独自解决问题。
This question is not a trap. It’s the employer’s way of learning if you are able to fix your mistakes. Honestly talk about a mistake you made, but focus mainly on how you solved the problem.
这个问题不是圈套，而是雇主考查你是不是有能力批改毛病的方法。坦诚地讲下你曾犯过的毛病，但要重要集中于你是若何解决问题的。
Begin by saying: ‘A time I messed up at work was when I gave a customer a quote that was considerably lower than it should have been. I realised my mistake and i妹妹ediately told my boss about the situation. I knew the business was going to take a hit financially, so I offered to work longer hours until I had worked off the debt from my mistake.’
你可以如许说：“有一次我把事情搞砸了，我给主顾的报价远远低于正常代价。我意想到了毛病并敏捷告诉老板这一环境。我晓得公司会是以承受经济丧失，是以我自动提出加班，直到我的事情可以抵消我失误酿成的丧失。”
This answers the interviewer’s question but focuses more on the positive parts of the mistake.
这就答复了口试官的问题，也把问题更多地集中在毛病的踊跃一壁。
What is your five-year plan?
你的五年规划是甚么？
When interviewers ask this question, they want to know if you will last at the company.
若是口试官问这个问题，他们是想晓得你是不是会久长留在公司。
Picture where your career is going. Maybe the job you’re applying for is only a stepping stone to a bigger and better career. Letting your potential employer know their business is nothing more than a pit stop on your career road trip could cost you the job.
预测一下你职业生活的走向。或许你申请的这个事情只是通向更弘远的职业生活的一个跳板。让潜伏的雇主晓得他们公司只是你职业旅途中的一个加油站，你可能就得不到这份事情了。
Instead of letting an employer know you don’t plan to stay with the company long-term, think about what you hope to get out of the position. Talk generally about how you hope the position will prepare you for your next career move. Mention your desire for career growth within the company.
与其让雇主晓得你不筹算持久留在公司，还不如想一想你但愿从这份事情中获得甚么。你可以大致说说你但愿这份工尴尬刁难你职业生活的下一步有何帮忙，提一下你但愿在公司里有久长的职业成长。
Only apply for jobs if you honestly see yourself working there for the foreseeable future. Otherwise, it’s not fair to you, the company, or the person who would actually be the best fit for the position.
只申请你朴拙但愿在可预感的未来可以一向做的事情。不然，对你，对公司，对现实上最合适此职位的人都不公允。
What is one of your flaws?
说说你的一个错误谬误吧
This question is very often treated as a joke or a way to turn a negative into a positive (I’m too perfect. I’m an overachiever. I never give up), said Annie Griffin, Chief Happiness Officer at Manifest London. Manifest London
首席幸福官安妮 格里芬说，这个问题常常被看成一个笑话，或变负面为正面的方法，好比答复我太完善了、我是个高成绩者、我从不中途而废。
‘I’ll tell you what I like, I like to hire human beings not machines. I like to hire someone who is upfront, honest and comfortable in their own skin. Everyone has flaws, I wasn’t born yesterday.
“奉告你我喜好甚么，我喜好聘任人类而不是呆板。我喜好聘任坦直、诚笃、喜好以原本脸孔示人的人。每小我都出缺点，我又不是三岁小孩，骗不了我的。”
‘Show me that you are a person who has awareness and honesty. Maybe you hate getting out of bed. Maybe you speak too quietly. You let papers pile up on the printer.
“要向我展现你是一个能意想到本身错误谬误的诚笃的人。或许你腻烦起床，或许你措辞声音过轻，或许你任由打印机上的纸堆成堆。”
‘When people recognise a flaw it shows a hunger for improvement and that is always desirable.’
“若是一小我能意想到本身的错误谬误，阐明他巴望改良，这才是咱们想要的。”
Describe how an apple tastes to someone who can’t taste.
怎样向没有味觉的人描写苹果的味道？
There isn’t a right or wrong answer to this question. This question reveals your ability to think critically. Take a moment to think about how you will respond.
这个问题的谜底没有对错，只是考查你是不是有能力举行批评性思虑。好好想想你该怎样答复。
One way to answer the question is: ‘I would describe the taste of an apple as refreshing because of how juicy they are. While a person may not be able to taste, they can probably feel the juice as they bite into the apple. When I think about apples, I imagine the fresh, juicy sensation that comes with taking my first bite.’
答复这个问题的一种方法是：“我会用‘鲜美’一词来描写苹果，由于它们甘旨多汁。虽然可能有的人没有味觉，但当他们咬上一口，就会感觉到那丰盈的果汁。我一想到苹果，就会遐想到我第一口咬上去时那新颖多汁的感受。”
Even if your answer isn’t the same as the rest of candidates interviewing, it shows your ability to think on your toes. Your interviewer will appreciate whatever answer you give as long as you provide a reason for why you chose the description you used.
虽然你的谜底与其他口试者的谜底纷歧样，但它展现了你自力思虑的能力。只要你能诠释出为甚么选择如许的描写，不管你的谜底是甚么，你的口试官城市赏识的。
Do you have any questions?
你另有甚么问题吗？
This is an opportunity for you to determine if you’re right for the company, but the interviewer will also use this to uncover what’s important to you in your career.
你可以借此机遇来肯定这个公司是不是合适你，可是口试官也会经由过程这个问题来发明甚么是你找事情最垂青的方面。
Prepare plenty of questions in advance because most of the answers will likely be covered during the interview itself. When you are given the opportunity to ask questions it’s important that you have at least one question to ask.
你要提早筹备很多问题，@由%3HXt1%于大大%7e315%都@问题颇有可能在口试进程中获得解答。当给你机遇发问时，最少要有一个问题可以问，这十分首要。
Here are a few suggestions: What is the difference between being good and great in this job? What are the opportunities for training and development within the business? What do you enjoy most about the company, culture and your job here?
这里给你一些建议：在这份事情中，干得好和干得超卓有甚么别离？公司内部有培训和职业成长的机遇吗？你最喜好公司、企业文化和你本身事情中的哪一点？（译者：练习生孙美真）
