面试时，我们会面对形形色色的问题，而最令人哑口无言的，往往是一些最简单和最常见的题目，比如"请你自我介绍一下".大多数应征者的反应是——我应该如何作答呢？

　　其实要懂得应对此问题，就要先做好准备You'll have a better chance of impressing the interviewer if you think about this question before the interview.

　　The first thing to realize is that the question，"Tell me about yourself，" provides you with a great chance to promote your strong points. This is particularly important when applying for a job that is different from what you have done in the past. You need to show the interviewer that your previous jobs provide you with skills that can be used in the new job.

　　WHAT TO TALK ABOUT如何介绍？

　　你可以选择三个重点来介绍自己，但避免重复履历中曾提及的资料。Around this skeleton should be the meat of your answer；your less obvious，but important skills. Here are some of the skills that you might want to mention.你可以介绍自己是：

　　Problem solver解决问题能手

　　Creative thinker充满创意

　　Accurate小心谨慎

　　People person与人相处融洽

　　Team player合群

　　Organized组织力高

　　This doesn't mean that you just say，"I'm a great problem solver." Instead，explain how you used your problem-solving skills at your previous job.事例比自我夸耀更能说明问题。

　　自我介绍的时间不要过长，最好是一至三分钟。最初你可能会觉得时间太长，但当你真正要介绍自己三项特质时，你就会发现时间不够用了。

　　WHAT TO SAY应说什么？

　　What you actually say，in terms of the words you use，is something that you have to decide. You need to create an answer that sounds natural and，at the same time，interesting.背答案估计没有人愿意听。The way to determine whether your answer is natural is simply by writing a first draft of the answer and then read it out loud. When you do this，you'll probably spot things that you have to change.

　　当你构思答案时，你要想想应该如何说出，内容要令人感兴趣，不沉闷，避免滔滔不绝地只说自己的强项。

　　Here are some final things to think about when answering the question "Tell me about yourself."

　　Mention major awards or accomplishments that relate to your career；

　　阐述工作上的重要成就或奖项

　　Promote your strengths，but do not mention any of your weaknesses；

　　推销自己的长处，但不要提及自己的弱点

　　Try to be funny if you can，but don't force it；

　　可以的话，尽量说得幽默有趣

　　Summarize your career and education，but don't recite a list；

　　概括说出你的工作经验和学历，但切勿背诵

　　Don't start with your date of birth；

　　不用提及你的出生日期

　　Avoid information that is not career-related. The fact that you own a dog won't get you a job

　　避免说一些与职业无关的事，例如：你有一只狗，这并不能为你争取到工作

　　Always answer this question

　　经常思考和解答这条问题

　　Try to sound natural

　　对答要自然

　　Relax and enjoy yourself！

　　放松心情，尽力而为。
