問:你是單獨工作效率高還是小組工作時效率高?

問:告訴我使你難以保持客觀的情形。
面試技巧回答:我曾為我們的圖書館研究一種新的在線資源,但最后我的經(jīng)理卻決定撤銷資金。我感到沮喪,因為我為該產(chǎn)品激動,就像賣主那樣,我告訴了許多人可以擁有這種資源。但我明白改變預(yù)算的必要性,并且在當(dāng)時此事不是我說了算的。
評論:在這里,一個明顯的例子就是你已在一個項目上花了很多時間,而得到的結(jié)果就是取消該項目,或你可能發(fā)現(xiàn)該項目從戰(zhàn)略上講,并沒有你期望中的那么出色。你是否能夠重新調(diào)整你的思維做一些從長遠來看是最好的事情。

問:你現(xiàn)在的老板想改變你的什么工作習(xí)慣?
面試技巧回答:我習(xí)慣早上工作,而我的老板卻是個夜貓子。我喜歡提前至少一小時到辦公室,通常是7點左右,一到辦公室就開始工作,而我的老板喜歡9點以后來辦公室,一就到晚上。所以我想知道她要改變我的一項習(xí)慣,很可能是要我也變成個夜貓子,以便她想工作的時候我也在場。
評論:面試官想知道你是如何與你將來的老板和同事合作的,同時他們還想確信,他們已發(fā)現(xiàn)了你與人合作方式里的所有與眾不同之處;卮鹪搯栴},一個好方法就是指出彼此之間輕微的愛好差別;蛘吣憧梢杂羞x擇地談?wù)勀愀习褰?jīng)過共同努力改善了的缺點。

問:談?wù)勀闼J(rèn)識的卓有成就的經(jīng)理、管理者,或其他處于領(lǐng)導(dǎo)位置的人。
面試技巧回答:我曾碰到過一位非常優(yōu)秀的教授,在他給我們上新課之前,總會復(fù)習(xí)上一課的重點。他細心地觀察我們的反應(yīng),我們一旦有疑惑,他就會重復(fù)所講的內(nèi)容。有時他會問些反饋性的問題“你們還有什么困難嗎?”,他從來不作太多的假設(shè),也不會讓我們因為未能迅速掌握一個概念就覺得自己很愚蠢。

問:你認(rèn)為哪種類型的管理模式是有成效的?
面試技巧回答:有些人充當(dāng)教練而不是專家,我總能從他們身上學(xué)到有價值的東西。當(dāng)別人有問題向我請教時,我會盡力提供幫助,就如和他一塊分析推理一樣,在幫助他時我也在學(xué)習(xí),但我從來不給對方答案,我想幫他樹立獨立解決問題的信心更重要。
評論:這個問題與“講講你所認(rèn)識的卓有成效的經(jīng)理或管理者”很相似,舉一個你個人或眾所周知的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人卓有成效的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的例子。為什么該領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能有這么大的成就?談?wù)勀阕约旱墓芾砟J胶湍闩c同事和領(lǐng)導(dǎo)之間的人際關(guān)系,并且談?wù)勀闳绾螐哪闼鶜J佩的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人身上學(xué)到好的習(xí)慣。
Q:What type of management style do you think is effective?
A:Ive always learned well from people who act as coaches rather than experts.When someone comes to me with a problem,I try to act as if I’m reasoning through the problem with the person,learning as I go.I never just give an answer.I want employees to develop confidence in creating answers for themselves.
問:描述一下你個人的管理方式。
面試技巧回答:我重復(fù)別人告訴我的東西,但我用一種有助于他們獨立發(fā)現(xiàn)問題和找到答案的方式重新歸納它們。有時,我只是不斷地提問,直到他們找到解決方法為止。這種方法,是我從一位成功從事審訊工作的律師朋友那里學(xué)來的。
