1. Don't give a cop-out answer

　　不要回避問(wèn)題

　　Please don't give tired answers like, "My greatest weakness is that I'm too much of a perfectionist/workaholic." Perhaps it is true for you, but unfortunately, it may bring false to the interviewer who is used to hearing these generic answers that come off as a way to dodge the question.

　　請(qǐng)不要給千篇一律的回答，比如：“我最大的缺點(diǎn)是過(guò)于追求完美/工作太拼命。”也許這是真實(shí)回答，但不幸的是，它會(huì)給面試官錯(cuò)誤信息，他們習(xí)慣了聽(tīng)這些通用回答，會(huì)以為你想回避這個(gè)問(wèn)題。

　　2. Be honest

　　要誠(chéng)實(shí)

　　Dig deep into yourself and figure out what your true weaknesses are at work. Write them down on a sheet of paper, and figure out which ones you can use in an interview. If you state a weakness you've struggled with, your answer will sound more honest. Some things that will help you come up with true weaknesses is to look at some of the challenges you have faced in your previous jobs or think about constructive criticism you've received from a manager.

　　深入挖掘自己，找到真正的缺點(diǎn)。把它們寫(xiě)在紙上，看看哪些可以在面試的時(shí)候說(shuō)。如果你說(shuō)的是讓你煩擾的缺點(diǎn)，聽(tīng)上去會(huì)更誠(chéng)實(shí)。幫助你想到真正缺點(diǎn)的事是看你在以前工作中遇到的困難或想想經(jīng)理對(duì)你的有用批評(píng)。

　　3. Avoid deal breakers

　　不要說(shuō)會(huì)影響面試的缺點(diǎn)

　　Although we mention that you should be honest, it's also good to remember that there is such a thing as being too honest. You need to avoid weaknesses that will hurt your chances of getting the job. For example, say if you're applying for an HR position and you say that you're not good with people, or if you're trying for a sales job and you say you are bad at negotiating. This doesn't mean that you have to make up a weakness, but it's just preferable for you to pick another weakness that isn't a deal breaker.

　　雖然我們剛才提到你應(yīng)該誠(chéng)實(shí)，但也要記住別太誠(chéng)實(shí)。你要避開(kāi)那些會(huì)影響你得到工作的缺點(diǎn)。例如，申請(qǐng)人力資源的職位卻說(shuō)不善于與人相處，或者想做銷售卻說(shuō)不擅協(xié)商。不是讓你一定要編缺點(diǎn)，但是挑個(gè)不會(huì)影響面試的缺點(diǎn)會(huì)好一些。

　　4. Talk about your attempts to overcome your weakness

　　要談到你為克服缺點(diǎn)做的努力

　　Always talk about the steps you have taken to overcome your weakness. This is your chance to show the interviewer that although you have your flaws, you are proactive and resourceful enough to overcome them. In a way, your effort to conquer your weaknesses will be looked at as a strength.

　　要說(shuō)你為克服缺點(diǎn)做的事。這是你向面試官證明的機(jī)會(huì)，讓他們知道雖然你有缺點(diǎn)，但你會(huì)主動(dòng)克服缺點(diǎn)，也有辦法克服它們。在某種程度上，你為克服缺點(diǎn)做的努力會(huì)被視作優(yōu)點(diǎn)。
