tell me about yourself: how to answer this difficult question

面试时最令人哑口无言的问题 - 请你自我介绍一下

the basic answer about where to start is with preparation. you'll have a better chance of impressing the interviewer if you think about this question before the interview.

其实要懂得应对此问题，就要先做好准备，认真考虑问题的涵意。这是一个最好的机会，让你在雇主面前留下好印象。

what to talk about

如何介绍?

with that in mind, make a list of the three most important things you want the interviewer to know about you. avoid focusing on simple references to things that are already on your resume, although this information should form the skeleton of your answer. 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。应尽量把你不大明显但重要的技能「推而广之」。以下为你提供一些参考。

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

organised

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.

当然你不可能单单说自己是一个解决问题的能手就罢了，你必须加以解释和说明，增强说服力。例如：你可以列举一些曾为以前公司解决重要问题的事例。

keep your answer short ?v about one to three minutes is generally considered good. that may not seem like much at first, but you'll probably discover that you don't have enough time once you start covering three things you want to highlight.

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。
