  • 工作学习 / IT杂谈 / How to answer job interview questions...
    I would like to propose a discuss on how to answer questions in IT job interviews.

    Once an HR manager asked me what's my weakest point, I answered that I always worry too much about my work. He gaped at me for a while and then laughed...

    Please post what you believe is helpful or interesting happened in your interview.
    • Your weakest point is not important
      本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛FromZtoA, what is your weakest point?

      It is a routine work for HR poeple to ask such questions. However, this is one chain in their screening procedure.
      They need to kill 30-60 minutes with you. The most important
      thing for us is to have a good commanding of some skills.
      If you are confident, no questions are difficult.

      HR people seldom evaluate your ability according to your answer to a single question. To answer the question you cited,
      one should not take it serious. As you told HR people you always get worried about your work, you are actually exposing your true weak points. Of course, this is my point of view and
      it might not be right.

      My baseline in answering such stupid questions is to
      give some likely stupid answers. For instance, here are some
      answers I have ever used.
      1)---Of course, my English, because I am not a native English speaker.

      2)---I have many weak points so I never know which one
      is the weakest. But I do know Java is my strongest point.

      3)---My weakest point is my strongest point.

      There are no absolutely correct answers. You never know
      what those managers are thinking about. You can answer
      in the way you like. But, don't be silly. Don't tell seriously the people your true weak points.

      However, all the good interviews are established on the basis
      of a good skill set and a good commanding of the English langauge.

      Once I used answer 1) and the manager said "You English is
      quite good". Then I answered "I am flattered." Here I have a question: What does "Your English is quite good" mean? Can anybody post a short Chinese translation here? Thank you in advance!更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
      • easy!!!
        there r different level "good"s,
        i point them in up line,

        extremly good
        very good
        pretty good
        quite good
        good

        so 'quite good' just is better than one 'good' which means just so so.do u understand?
        • Roughly speaking, you are right
          If sb says your English is quite good, it implies that he/she reluctantly agree that your English is good. Put in aother way,
          "quite good" means "not so good". If put it in Chinese, we may translate it into "hai suan hao".
        • George, u r absolutely right! westerners never say 'bad' words! Tell u a joke, a failure is 'a success that successfully proved that the solution doesn't work.'.
