英语四级424，听说明天全英文面试，我吓得鞋子都扔了，现在迷茫困顿毫无头绪，下面五百丁笔者为你挖出一篇集到4000+赞的面试干货来搞定听到全英文面试就愁眉苦脸的你！

You know it’s coming.It’s the most feared question during any job interview: Do you think I would look good in a cowboy hat?

Just kidding. The real question is: Can you tell me about yourself?

你知道的，该来的还是会来这是工作面试中遇到的最可怕的问题：“你觉得我戴个牛仔帽怎么样？”面试你的BOSS一脸窃喜的问题噎的你哑口无言！开个玩笑，我们言归正传。

真正可怕的问题是：跟我介绍介绍你自己吧！

Blecch. What a boring, vague, open-ended question. Who likes answering that?

I know. I’m with you. But unfortunately, hiring managers and executive recruiters ask the question. Even if you’re not interviewing and you’re out networking in the community — you need to be ready to hear it and answer it. At all times.

这是个多么无聊、模糊而又开放的问题啊！谁没事愿意回答这种问题呢？

别担心，笔者来帮你。

但你需要明白的是，面试中雇佣你的经理和HR会问你这个问题，但在生活中，在社交平台上，仍然会有人问这些问题——

无论何时何地，你都要时刻准备好回答他们。

Now, before I share a list of 10 memorable answers, consider the two essential elements behind the answers:

1. The medium is the message.

The interviewer cares less about your answer to this question and more about the confidence, enthusiasm and passion with which you answer it.

2. The speed of the response is the response.

The biggest mistake you could make is pausing, stalling or fumbling at the onset of your answer, thus demonstrating a lack of self-awareness and self-esteem.

Next time you’re faced with the dreaded, “Tell me about yourself…” question, try these:

在我说出这10个出色的答案之前，大家要考虑清楚这些回答背后的动因：

1、媒介即讯息

这是加拿大学者麦克卢汉对媒介地位的概括：媒介本身才是真正有意义的信息，它的出现比信息本身更重要，面试官其实并不关心你回答的内容（毕竟简历中都有），而更关心你答案中包含的信心和热情。

2、你回答问题的速度，同样是被评判的要素。

面试中最忌讳的就是你回答问题的时候停顿、拖延、结巴，这从侧面反映出你自信心的缺失，下次你碰到了类似的问题，试试下面这些：

“I can summarize who I am in three words.”

“我可以用三个词概括自己”

Grabs their attention immediately. Demonstrates your ability to be concise, creative and compelling.

可以立刻抓住他们的耳朵，间接表明了你的概括力、创造力，十分引人注目。

“The quotation I live my life by is…”

“我人生的信条是”

Proves that personal development is an essential part of your growth plan. Also shows your ability to motivate yourself.

证明了个人发展是你成长计划中重要的一部分，也展现了你是个会激励自己的人。

“My personal philosophy is…”

“我的人生哲学是……”

Companies hire athletes – not shortstops. This line indicates your position as a thinker, not just an employee.

公司往往选择的是忠诚的人而非随便打打游击战的人。这句话暗示着你起码思考过自己的职业、自己的生活，而不仅仅是做一名员工。

“People who know me best say that I’m…”

“了解我的人都会说我是个……样的人”

This response offers insight into your own level of self-awareness.

这个回答体现了你对自己的了解和认知水平。

“Well, I googled myself this morning,

and here’s what I found…”

“今天早晨我百度了下我的名字

然后发现了这些……”

Tech-savvy, fun, cool people would say this. Unexpected and memorable.

一个精通技术、幽默感十足又很酷很有趣的人才会这么说，一定让面试官们出乎意料，深深地记住你。

“My passion is…”

“我所钟爱的是……”

People don’t care what you do – people care who you are. And what you’re passionate about is who you are. Plus, passion unearths enthusiasm.

 面试官们并不在意你会做什么，更在意你是个什么样的人。所以你要着重向他们展现的是一个完整的自己，你所热爱的必然埋藏着你无限的热情。

“When I was seven years old,

I always wanted to be…”

“我7岁的时候，就想成为一个……”

An answer like this shows that you’ve been preparing for this job your whole life, not just the night before.

 这种回答就好像你为这个工作准备了一生一样，并不是前一个晚上拍脑袋才决定的。

“If Hollywood made a movie about my life

it would be called…”

“如果好莱坞给我拍部电影，那应该会叫…”

Engaging, interesting and entertaining.

这样回答大家会觉得你迷人而有趣。

“Can I show you, instead of tell you?”

“与其讲给您听，不如让我来展示给您看吧？”

Then, pull something out of your pocket that represents who you are. Who could resist this answer? Who could forget this answer?

然后，从你的包包里拿出一些能够代表你个人的东西。谁会不喜欢你的回答？谁又能忘了你的回答？

“The compliment people give me most frequently is…”

“人们经常表扬我说…”

Almost like a testimonial, this response also indicates self-awareness and openness to feedback.

这么说有点像给自己颁奖状，但这恰恰反映了你对自我的认识，也很乐于接受别人的反馈。

Keep in mind that these examples are just the opener. The secret is thinking how you will follow up each answer with relevant, interesting and concise explanations that make the already bored interviewer look up from his stale coffee and think, “Wow! That’s the best answer I’ve heard all day！”

Ultimately it’s about answering quickly, it’s about speaking creatively and it’s about breaking people’s patterns.

要记住这些例子都只是开篇，真正的秘诀在于你怎么在这些问题里填满相关的、有趣的、精准的内容，让已经无聊至极的面试官从它一成不变的咖啡中抬起头来想，“哇！这是我今天听到的最好的答案了！”

总而言之，就是反应要快、说的要有亮点、打破常规。

I understand your fear with such answers. Responses like these are risky, unexpected and unorthodox. And that’s exactly why they work.

Otherwise you become (yet another) non-entity in the gray mass of blah, blah, blah.

我明白你对这些回答的顾虑，这样回答确实也有一定的风险，有点出人意料、背离传统。但是这就是为什么用它们会比较管用的原因，否则你也会自此被淹没在一片灰压压的人群中。
