开放式面试问题的类型
Types of Open-Ended Interview Questions
There are many different kinds of open-ended interview questions. One common type of open-ended question is a behavioral interview question. A behavioral interview question is one in which a person asks you about your past work experience. For example, an employer might ask you to, “Tell me about a time when you struggled to meet a deadline,” or “Describe your greatest accomplishment at work.”
Another common type of open-ended question is a situational interview question. A situational interview question is one in which a person asks how you would handle a hypothetical work situation. For example, the employer might ask, “What would you do if you knew your boss was wrong about something related to your work?”
开放式面试问题有很多种。常见的一种问题是行为面试问题。行为面试问题，问的是你过去的工作经历。例如，雇主可能会问你，“告诉我你在DDL临近时努力完成工作的经历”，或者“描述一下你在工作中最大的成就。”
另一种常见的开放式问题是情景面试问题。情景面试问题是指面试者问你会如何处理一个假设的工作情景。例如，雇主可能会问，“如果你知道你的老板在与你工作有关的事情上做错了，你会怎么做?”
Other common open-ended questions do not fit into a specific category.For example, one of the most commonly asked open-ended questions is actually a statement: "Tell me about yourself." There are many other kinds of open-ended interview question types, including anecdotal interview questions (in which you recount a previous work experience) and competency questions (in which you explain how you have demonstrated certain skills in the past).
其他常见的开放式问题不属于某一个特定的类别。例如，最常见的开放式问题之一实际上是一种陈述句:“介绍一下你自己。”还有许多其他类型的开放式面试问题，包括轶事类面试问题(在这类问题中，你要讲述以前的工作经验)和能力问题(你要解释你过去是如何展示某些技能的)。

回答问题的技巧
Tips for Answering Open-Ended Interview Questions
Focus on the job description. No matter what your answer, be sure it focuses on the skills, requirements, and/or experiences related to the job. For example, if an employer asks you to talk about a time you achieved success at work, try to provide an example that relates to the kind of work you would be doing at this job.
关注职位的描述。不管你的答案是什么，一定要把重点放在与工作相关的技能、要求或经验上。例如，如果雇主让你谈谈你在工作中取得的成功，你可以提供一个与你将从事的工作相关的例子。
Provide an example. When appropriate, provide an example from your past work experience in your answer. For example, in a situational interview question about how you would handle a future problem, you can give your answer by explaining a time you solved a work problem in the past.
提供一个例子。在适当的时候，从你过去的工作经验中举出一个例子。例如，在一个关于你将如何处理未来问题的情景面试中，你可以给出自己过去解决某个工作问题的例子。
Use the STAR technique. When answering a question by using an example, try using the STAR interview technique. This involves describing an example of a past work experience in detail. Explain the situation, the task or problem you dealt with, the action you took to solve it, and the results.
使用STAR方法。当用例子回答问题时，试着使用STAR面试技巧。这需要你详细地描述一个过去工作上的例子。解释当时的情况（Situation）、你处理的任务（Task）或问题、你为解决它所采取的行动（Action）以及结果（Result）。

Open-Ended Interview Questions–Tips and Best Answers
“介绍一下你自己”
"Tell Me About Yourself"
This is often a question an employer will ask early on in the interview, as a way to build rapport. You can start by mentioning one or two personal hobbies that might not directly relate to the job, but they show something positive about your personality. You can then transition to mentioning one or two of your traits or abilities that relate more directly to the job.
- I am very dedicated to serving youth in my neighborhood. For example, I volunteer as a staff member for my town’s theater program for elementary-school children. I also provide SAT prep to local high school students once a month. I believe my passion for inspiring and educating kids makes me a good fit for your education nonprofit organization.
雇主通常会在面试初期问这个问题，以此来建立融洽的关系。你可以从一两个可能与工作没有直接关系的个人爱好开始，因为它们能显示出你性格中积极的一面。然后，你可以过渡到提到一两个与工作更直接相关的特质或能力。
- 我致力于为社区的青少年服务。例如，我志愿为我家乡的小学儿童戏剧项目工作。我还为当地高中生提供每月一次的SAT备考服务。我相信我对激励和教育孩子的热情使我很适合您的教育非营利组织。
“你最大的优点是什么？”
"What Is Your Greatest Strength?"
This is a common question that can be answered in many different ways. When responding, don’t be modest, but don’t exaggerate either. Focus on a particular strength of yours that relates directly to the job, and provide an example of a time you showed that strength at work. Use the STAR interview technique to explain how you have used your strength in the past to help add value to a company.
- One of my strengths is my attention to detail. This comes through in my thorough copyediting and proofreading skills. As a marketing assistant at my previous job, my supervisor always praised my ability to spot every grammatical and spelling error. She even began to give me additional proofreading responsibilities due to my skills.
这是一个常见的问题，可以用许多不同的方式来回答。回答的时候，不要谦虚，但也不要夸张。把重点放在与工作直接相关的你的优点上，并举例说明你在工作中展现出的优点。使用STAR面试技巧来解释你过去是如何利用自己的优势为公司创造价值的。
- 我的优点之一就是注重细节。这体现在我彻底的编辑和校对技能上。我以前担任市场助理时，我的主管总是称赞我能发现每一个语法和拼写错误的能力。由于我的出色技术，她甚至开始给我额外的校对职责。
“你的动力是什么？”
"What Motivates You?"
Employers ask this question to make sure you don’t plan to leave the company right away. It also helps them learn how ambitious you are, and whether your career goals work with the company structure. In your answer, focus on how you want to grow within the job and the company. Research the company beforehand to get a sense of the career paths offered at the organization. Employers like to see candidates who want to grow in ways that align with the company.
- I plan to continue to develop my skills as a teacher, particularly through the help of your teacher mentorship program. Once I gain additional experience, I would love the opportunity to serve as a department head or take on another administrative role. However, for now, I am looking forward to applying my in-class teaching skills and continuing to develop as an instructor.
雇主问这个问题是为了确定你会不会马上很快就离开公司。这也能帮助他们了解你有多大的野心，以及你的职业目标是否符合公司的结构。在回答这个问题时，你要着重于你想在公司和工作中如何成长。事先对应聘的公司进行调查，了解该公司提供的职业发展道路。雇主喜欢看到那些想要和公司一起成长的人。
- 我计划继续发展我作为一名教师的技能，特别是在您的教师指导计划的帮助下。一旦我获得了额外的经验，我希望有机会担任部门主管或担任其他行政职务。不过，就目前而言，我期待着运用我的课堂教学技能，并继续发展成为一名教师。
“为什么你是这份工作的最佳人选?”
"Why Are You the Best Person for the Job?"
This question gives you a chance to make a “sales pitch” that demonstrates why you are right for the position. To prepare, make a list of the requirements for the job, and figure out which of these you have. In your answer, focus on a couple of these strengths. By matching your skills to the job, you will show the employer that you have what it takes to add value to the company and get the job done well.
- I am a network administrator with eight years of experience. I am known for my timely response to technical issues. I have experience in a variety of network technologies, wireless communications management, VPN technologies, and more. Moreover, I have five years of experience in the public health sector, so I know the kinds of issues that tend to arise, how to solve them, and how to communicate problems and solutions to a team of health professionals.
这个问题给了你一个“推销自己”的机会，展示你为什么适合这个职位。为了做好准备，列出一份工作要求的清单，并找出你具备哪些条件。在你的回答中，着重于这些优点中的几个。通过将你的技能与工作相匹配，你将向雇主展示你有能力为公司增加价值，并把工作做好。
- 我是一个有八年工作经验的网络管理员。我对技术问题的及时反应是出了名的。我在各种网络技术、无线通信管理、VPN技术等方面有丰富的经验。此外，我在公共卫生部门有五年的工作经验，所以我知道可能出现的问题的种类，如何解决它们，以及如何与卫生专业人员团队沟通问题和解决方案。
