面試英語口語第3期:性格愛好
通過個性和愛好的問答,主考官可以初步判斷面試者的性格特點是否適合職位的需要。性格外向(extroverted)的人往往容易給人留下熱情活潑、思維敏捷但不夠沉穩的印象,這類性格的人在面試時說話的節奏要適當放慢,語言組織要得當,注意給人以博學多才、見多識廣的良好形象。性格內向(introverted)的人則容易給人留下深沉有餘、反應遲緩的感覺,在面試時,這類性格的人要力爭積極回答,並就某一重大觀點展開論述,以彌補自己性格上的不足。從事的專業崗位如與自己的興趣愛好相吻合則能使人工作得更愉快、更積極,也更有利於出成果。
應試者應該根據應聘職位的需求,儘量的使用適當的詞語形容自己的個性特點。例如,應試者如果應聘祕書的職位,那麼他(她)在形容自己的個性特點時應儘量選用類似efficient (有效率的)、careful(辦事仔細的)、responsible(負責的)等詞語而不應該選用purposeful(有目的的)或 liberal(心胸寬大的)等不着邊際的詞語。
