Tell Me About Yourself

请你谈谈你自己

Don Straits, CEO and Dragon Slayer, Corporate Warriors

面试中必会被问到的问题之一就是请你谈谈你自己。很多人对这个问题的回答就是简略的背一下简历。事实上这样的回答枯燥无味。那么,该怎样回答这个问题呢?

When you, as a job seeker, are asked the most mon, and toughest, interview question, Tell me about yourself, your answer can make or break you as a candidate. Usually job seekers will respond with their 30 second mercial, and then elaborate on their background. While almost every career book and career counselor will tell you that is the appropriate response, I totally disagree.

Many people fail in their job search because they are too often focused on what they want in a job including industry, type of position, location, ine, benefits, and work environment. Their 30 second mercial is centered around this premise. The mercial describes the job seeker's career history and what they are looking for. Too often, this is in direct contrast to what employers are looking for.

There are two dominant reasons why job seekers are successful in the job search. The first is focusing on the needs of the anization. The second is focusing on the needs of the people within that anization. In this article, we are going to examine how to focus on the needs of the people within anizations. This will assist in rethinking your response to that all-important question, Tell me about yourself.

In order to learn how to respond to the needs of the interviewer, let's first learn more about ourselves. We can then apply that knowledge about ourselves to knowing how to understand and respond to the needs of others.

Most social psychologists recognize four basic personality styles: Analytical, Amiable, Expressive, and Driver. Usually, each of us exhibits personality characteristics unique to one of the styles. However, we also possess characteristics to a lesser degree in the other styles. To determine your unique style, you can take a Myers-Briggs assessment or go to the following site for a free Keirsey Temperament Sorter assessment test: w ww.keirsey.

Here are the characteristics that are most monly associated with each of the styles:

Analytical: 分析型

Positive Traits: Precise, Methodical, anized, Rational, Detail Oriented

Negative Traits: Critical, Formal, Uncertain, Judgmental, Picky

Amiable: 和蔼可亲型

Positive Traits: Cooperative, Dependable, Warm, Listener, Negotiator

Negative Traits: Undisciplined, Dependent, Submissive, Overly Cautious, Conforming

Expressive: 表达型

Positive Traits: Enthusiastic, Persuasive, Outgoing, Positive, municator

Negative Traits: Ego Centered, Emotional, Exploitive, Opinionated, Reacting

Driver: 驱动型

Positive Traits: Persistent, Independent, Decision Maker, Effective, Strong Willed

Negative Traits: Aggressive, Strict, Intense, Relentless, Rigid

Gaining an in-depth understanding of your personality style has enormous value in your career as well as your personal life. However, our focus today is learning how to use this knowledge to make you more successful in your job search.

Once you he learned about your own style and he studied the other styles, I encourage you to he a little fun in trying to determine the styles of others. When you meet someone for the first time, try to identify his or her style within the first two minutes. You can often identify styles by observing a person's demeanor, conversation, body language, appearance, and possessions.

To demonstrate what I mean, let's take some examples from the business world. While there are always exceptions, generally speaking the styles fit the example.

Analytical Style: Financial Manager (or programmers, engineers, and accountants). 财务经理(或程序员、工程师和会计)。They like systems and procedures. They are slow to make decisions because they will analyze things to death?but their decisions are usually very sound. They prefer working independently and are usually not very good in team environments, but they are also dependable. They buy cars with good resale value and great gas mileage. They are conservative dressers. At the party, they want to know why so much money was spent on Michelob when we could he purchased Busch. They e to the party with their laptops.

Amiable Style: Human Resources Manager. 人力资源部经理。Very people-focused. They are dependable, loyal and easygoing; very passionate. They will give you the shirt off their backs and the last nickel in their pockets. They are good listeners and value team players who don't rock the boat. They are usually conformists and followers?rarely leaders. They oid conflict and are not good decision makers. They drive four-door sedans or mini-vans to take the kids to sporting events. They usually clean up after the party is over.

Expressive Style: Sales Manager. 销售经理。

Very outgoing and enthusiastic, with a high energy level. They are also great idea generators, but usually do not he the ability to see the idea through to pletion. Very opinionated and egotistical. Money motivated. They can be good municators. They prefer to direct and control rather then ask and listen. They drive red convertibles with great stereos; to heck with the gas mileage. They e up with the idea for a pany party, but never help clean up. They are on their way to another party.

Driver: Corporate CEO. 公司CEO。Intelligent, intense, focused, relentless. They thrive on the thrill of the challenge and the internal motivation to succeed. Money is only a measure of success; it is not the driving factor. They are results/performance oriented. They he passion for the truly disadvantaged, but absolutely no patience or tolerance for the lazy or whiners. They drive prestige cars, not because the car attracts attention, but because it was a wise investment. They want to know why we had a party; what were the benefits of the party, and did we invite the banker?

Ok, now you are really getting some insight into your style and the style of others. It is time for the interviews. Throw out your 30-second mercial. Think on your feet.

You will be interviewing with the human resource manager, the finance manager, the sales manager, and the CEO. The first question each of them will ask you is: Tell me about yourself. How should you respond? Remember the second reason for succeeding in a job search: focus on the needs of the people in the anization. Here are just a few examples of how to respond to that question:

Tell me about yourself?

Response to Finance Manager: I he been successful in my career by making well-thought-out decisions based on careful analysis of all factors. I approach problems with logic and sound reasoning. I would enjoy working with you in developing the appropriate systems and procedures to make our two departments function efficiently together.

Response to Human Resource Manager: My career has been characterized by my ability to work well with diverse teams. I seek out opportunities to involve others in the decision-making process. This collaboration and munication is what has enabled me to achieve success in my department. People are the most valuable resource of any anization.

Response to Sales Manager: Throughout my career I he always adhered to the principle that everyone in the anization must be sales-focused. My department is always trained in customer service, providing outstanding support to the sales team and to our customers. Without sales, the rest of use would not he a job. I look forward to helping you drive sales in any way possible.

Response to CEO: I he achieved success in my career because I he been focused on the bottom line. I he always sought out innovative solutions to challenging problems to maximize profitability. Regardless of the task or challenge, I always established benchmarks of performance and standards of excellence. I he never sought to maintain the status quo. An anization that does not change and grow will die. I would enjoy working with you to help define new market opportunities in order to achieve the anization's goals.

In each instance, we responded to the needs of the individual. It is almost guaranteed that, when you respond appropriately to the diverse needs of the different managers, you will bee the standard by which all of the other candidates will be measured.

I challenge you to learn about your personality and leadership style, learn about the styles of others, and learn how to think on your feet when responding to questions. Whether you are seeking a job or you are gainfully employed, by understanding the needs of others you will bee a more valuable person, employee, manager and leader.
