面試時，我們會面對形形色色的問題，而最令人啞口無言的，往往是一些最簡單和最常見的題目，比如"請你自我介紹一下".大多數應徵者的反應是——我應該如何作答呢？
其實要懂得應對此問題，就要先做好準備You'll have a better chance of impressing the interviewer if you think about this question before the interview.
The first thing to realize is that the question， "Tell me about yourself，" provides you with a great chance to promote your strong points. This is particularly important when applying for a job that is different from what you have done in the past. You need to show the interviewer that your previous jobs provide you with skills that can be used in the new job.
WHAT TO TALK ABOUT 如何介紹？
你可以選擇三個重點來介紹自己，但避免重復履歷中曾提及的資料。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. 你可以介紹自己是：
Problem solver 解決問題能手
Creative thinker 充滿創意
Accurate 小心謹慎
People person 與人相處融洽
Team player 合群
Organized 組織力高
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. 事例比自我誇耀更能說明問題。
自我介紹的時間不要過長，最好是一至三分鐘。最初你可能會覺得時間太長，但當你真正要介紹自己三項特質時，你就會發現時間不夠用了。
WHAT TO SAY 應說什麼？
What you actually say， in terms of the words you use， is something that you have to decide. You need to create an answer that sounds natural and， at the same time， interesting. 背答案估計沒有人願意聽。The way to determine whether your answer is natural is simply by writing a first draft of the answer and then read it out loud. When you do this， you'll probably spot things that you have to change.
當你構思答案時，你要想想應該如何說出，內容要令人感興趣，不沉悶，避免滔滔不絕地只說自己的強項。
Here are some final things to think about when answering the question "Tell me about yourself."
Mention major awards or accomplishments that relate to your career；
闡述工作上的重要成就或獎項
Promote your strengths， but do not mention any of your weaknesses；
推銷自己的長處，但不要提及自己的弱點
Try to be funny if you can， but don't force it；
可以的話，儘量說得幽默有趣
Summarize your career and education， but don't recite a list；
概括說出你的工作經驗和學歷，但切勿背誦
Don't start with your date of birth；
不用提及你的出生日期
Avoid information that is not career-related. The fact that you own a dog won't get you a job
避免說一些與職業無關的事，例如：你有一隻狗，這並不能為你爭取到工作
Always answer this question
經常思考和解答這條問題
Try to sound natural
對答要自然
Relax and enjoy yourself！
放鬆心情，盡力而為。祝你面試成功！
