怎樣在英語(yǔ)面試中簡(jiǎn)單簡(jiǎn)潔快速地展現(xiàn)自己

　　Everyone knows how to introduce themselves, right? It's just like those name tags organizers pass out at networking events, "Hello, my name is…" Unfortunately, a lot of job seekers have a tough time getting beyond that very basic introduction. Sure, they can chat about where they grew up or their favorite book or movie, but when it comes time to say something smart and relevant about their job search interests, it gets a little tricky.

　　每個(gè)人都知道怎么介紹自己，是嗎?大多時(shí)候的介紹都感覺(jué)像那些給自己貼上姓名標(biāo)簽一樣，“你好，我的名字是......”，悲劇的是，大部分的求職者都發(fā)現(xiàn)很難說(shuō)些基本信息之外的話題。當(dāng)然，他們可以聊聊在哪長(zhǎng)大的，或者最喜歡的書(shū)或電影，但當(dāng)實(shí)際談到一些與找工作有關(guān)的話題，還要說(shuō)得聰明，就好像變得有點(diǎn)尷尬了。

　　Do you have a pitch about you, your skills, and accomplishments ready to use the next time someone asks what you're looking for? While conventional wisdom used to dictate you prepare a two-minute "elevator pitch," most elevator rides don't last two minutes, and most people's attention spans certainly don't.

　　下次面試的時(shí)候，你能對(duì)自己所掌握的技巧以及獲得的成果對(duì)答如流么?一般情況下你都需要準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)兩分鐘的簡(jiǎn)短介紹，但是大多根本持續(xù)不了兩分鐘，一個(gè)人的注意力時(shí)間也達(dá)不到那么久。

　　Instead of the two-minute pitch, you should think about how to share relevant information about yourself quickly and succinctly so your target audience doesn't have time to start mentally planning out their grocery shopping list while they're waiting for you to stop talking about yourself.

　　與其準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)兩分鐘的面試演講，你不如好好想想怎么快速有效的介紹自己的相關(guān)信息，這樣你的聽(tīng)眾們才不至于一面等著你快點(diǎn)結(jié)束自我介紹，一面在腦子中構(gòu)想下班之后的購(gòu)物清單。

　　If you can't introduce yourself to a potential contact in 30 seconds or less, you may miss some important opportunities to impress someone important.

　　如果你無(wú)法在30秒鐘或更少時(shí)間之內(nèi)把自己介紹出來(lái)，那么你就可能會(huì)失去一些機(jī)會(huì)，無(wú)法給別人留下深刻印象。

　　To create an impressive pitch, know the answers to the following questions:

　　要做一個(gè)讓人眼前一亮的簡(jiǎn)介，先了解下面的這些問(wèn)題吧：

　　1. What is your goal or objective?

　　1.你的目標(biāo)或目的是什么?

　　2. What do you offer? Identify the skills and accomplishments that make you stand out from other people in your industry.

　　2.你的與眾不同之處在哪?列舉那些能讓你在同行業(yè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者中脫穎而出的技能和成果。

　　3. What do you do? Include information about your goal or objective as it relates to your target audience.

　　3.你做的是什么?需要包含聽(tīng)眾所感興趣的你的目標(biāo)或目的。

　　4. What problems do you solve? Every job description stems from a company's problem or specific need. Make sure you know how your contributions will make a difference for the organizations you target.

　　4.你解決了哪些問(wèn)題?每個(gè)職業(yè)設(shè)立都是源于公司的某個(gè)困難或者專業(yè)需求。一定要知道你的貢獻(xiàn)如何能對(duì)這個(gè)企業(yè)產(chǎn)生重大的影響。

　　5. What results do you create? Think about your accomplishments in your current or past positions.

　　5.你有什么成果?想想你在現(xiàn)任或過(guò)去的行業(yè)里所取得的成果。

　　Use this format to plan your reply:

　　用這個(gè)模板來(lái)規(guī)劃你的簡(jiǎn)述吧：

　　I work with (target audience) to (what problem do you solve). This is how (your results).

　　我和(聽(tīng)眾)一起工作可以解決(你所能解決的問(wèn)題)。這是我的(成果)。

　　I collaborate with non-profit organizations that support women's causes to create, organize, and run fundraising events that raise money from previously untapped donor bases. Last year, we increased donations by more than 50 percent and broke all of our fundraising records.

　　我和非營(yíng)利組織一起合作，支持女性創(chuàng)辦、組織和運(yùn)行籌款活動(dòng)，資金從潛在的捐款人中籌集。去年，我們的籌款增加了50%多，打破了歷年的籌款記錄。

　　Keep in mind: One trick to a successful pitch is to eliminate jargon or other language your target audience won't understand. This is especially important for career changers: don't rely on lingo from your previous career to appeal to new networking contacts. Focus your comments to appeal to your new audience and you'll be much more successful impressing them with your knowledge, skills, and abilities.

　　切記：成功面試的訣竅在于不要使用聽(tīng)眾不太理解的行話或者其他語(yǔ)言。這對(duì)改行的求職者來(lái)說(shuō)更加重要：不要用你前一個(gè)職業(yè)領(lǐng)域的行話來(lái)迎合新的工作系統(tǒng)。你需要集中措辭來(lái)迎合新的聽(tīng)眾，多介紹你的知識(shí)，技能和能力，才會(huì)更成功的給他們留下深刻的印象。

　　With a well-planned, succinct, targeted introduction, you'll inspire additional conversation with your networking contacts. Prepare to ask for a formal meeting to share ideas and insights, but always be ready to detail your expertise in-depth and on the spot if someone asks. Always be ready to answer questions about how you accomplished your goals and solved problems in the past and to explain how those experiences make you a good fit for your targeted opportunity.

　　有了一個(gè)精心準(zhǔn)備、簡(jiǎn)潔、目標(biāo)性強(qiáng)的自我介紹，你接下來(lái)就能和自己的面試官有著更多的交流機(jī)會(huì)。你也可以要求一個(gè)正式的會(huì)議來(lái)介紹自己的想法和觀察，但也要準(zhǔn)備當(dāng)有人提問(wèn)時(shí)，你能夠把自己的專業(yè)更細(xì)化和深化進(jìn)行介紹。時(shí)刻準(zhǔn)備好回答這些問(wèn)題，如如何才能實(shí)現(xiàn)你的目標(biāo)，過(guò)去如何解決問(wèn)題，以及這些經(jīng)驗(yàn)如何能讓你獲得機(jī)會(huì)成為我們提供職位的最佳人選等。
