南京外国语学校联考(英语)试题2014(4)

This answer leads with a strength that employers want —initiative —and still acknowledges that you’re not perfect.

Although you might consider this acknowledgement too honest, it works because it proves you’re being honest.

Honesty, with progress

When you consider what your weaknesses are, think about how you have attempted to overcome them. No one is perfect, so pretending that you are a perfectionist will come across as insincere.

Debra Davenport, author of “Career Shuffle,” believes citing(引用) examples are the best approach.

“My preferred response for this question is to tell the truth without damaging the applicant’s image.” Davenport explains.

“A better response might be, ‘I’ve had some challenges with work-life balance in the past and I realize that a life out of balance isn’t good for me, my family or my employer. I’ve taken the time to learn better time and project management, and I’m also committed to my overall wellness.’”

The answer adds some dimension to the question, and proves you’ve thought beyond the answer. You’ve actually changed your behavior to address the situation, even if you haven’t completely overcome the weakness.

Put yourself in the interviewer’s shoes

However you decide to answer, Debra Yergen, author of “Creating Job Security Resource Guide,” recommends job seekers imagine themselves sitting on the other side of the desk.

“If you were doing the hiring, what would you be looking for? What would be your motivation for asking certain questions? Who would you be trying to weed out? If you can empathize (共鸣) with the interviewer, you can better understand what they want and need, and then frame your qualifications to meet their needs for the position you seek.”

Once you consider what the goal of the question is and figure out what your honest answer is, you’ll be able to give the best possible answer to a tricky question.

A possible version

As is shown in the first drawing, it is windy and rainy outside, and yet the flower in the greenhouse is at its best. In the second drawing, however, things are quite different. When exposed to the outside, the flower appears weak and fails to stand against the bad weather.

Based on the above drawings, we can see that one can hardly challenge possible difficulties if he stays in a comfortable surrounding too long a time. Similarly, with living standards improving, people tend to provide their children with material comfort and as a result, children are often spoiled. They may possibly succeed with the protection of the comfort. But what if they leave the so-called comfort? They’ll probably be destroyed by the tough reality as what happens to the flower.

It is obvious that the education of the young is vital to the nation. Don’t let them grow up in the greenhouse all the time. If exposed to the outside surroundings, they’ll be stronger and better prepared for their future.
