前兩週在美國商務媒體 Business Insider 看到了 Questions for job interviews
answered by Bill Gates 這篇標題,查了一下才知道原來是這陣子 NBA 賽季剛結束,
球星 Stephen Curry 利用休賽期間經營起 YouTube 頻道。
其中他訪談了比爾蓋茲,請比爾蓋茲分享對於常見面試題目的回答,
讓在疫情時求職的青年能參考。
於是我去看了一下原本的訪談影片,整理了一下比爾蓋茲的回答。
這篇文將會節錄比爾蓋茲的原文、分析他的回答值得參考的地方,
同時節錄出在英文面試時可以用的回答模板。
【題目一】
How would you define your strengths and your weaknesses? How you can, you
know, incorporate those into a team kind of aspect?
【題目解析】
這一題是很常見的「你的優點為何?」、「說說你的缺點」類問題。這不僅是在英文面試
很常出現的,在中文面試也很常出現。除了工作面試外,在申請學校面試也很常見。讓我
們一起來看看比爾蓋茲怎麼回答吧!
【比爾蓋茲回答原文】
I'm not somebody who knows a lot about marketing, you know, I wouldn't enjoy
being a salesman. For a position where you're actually creating the products
and thinking through what those features should be. I'm fascinated by that.
I followed the history of the industry, read about the mistakes that have
been made. So product definition, product creation, very strong. If you have
a team that understands the customers, the sales, the marketing, I'm not
going to bring that but I would enjoy working with them.
【回答原文大意】
我不是個太懂行銷的人,我也不會享受做銷售。但只要提到打造產品與發想產品功能,我
就會深深著迷。我追蹤產業歷史,了解過去曾經犯過的錯,因此在定義產品與打造產品上
,我非常在行。如果你有個了解顧客、銷售與行銷的團隊,我沒辦法在這些方面帶來太多
作用,但我很樂於與這些職位的人共事
【回答解析】
遇到「你的缺點是什麼」這類問題時,千萬不要講「我的缺點就是太過追求完美!」或「
我的缺點是太努力了!」這種看似再講缺點實則自誇的回答 (英文又叫 humblebrag) 是
大禁忌。越來越多美國公司在意來面試的人的自我反省能力,要是面試的人不坦率,對於
自己的缺點描述隱晦,許多公司會覺得該面試人缺乏自省能力,而最終不錄取!
【跟著原文學英文面試句法】
#要說對某事深深著迷
I'm fascinated by _________
#要說自己對產業很了解
I followed the history of the industry, read about the mistakes that have
been made
#要說自己雖然不具某項特長,但能與這類專長的人合作
I'm not going to bring that but I would enjoy working with them.

【題目二】
Let's say you're interviewing for a junior engineer position at Microsoft sit
in a boardroom or on a video call in 2020? Why should we hire you?
【題目解析】
這一題是 Curry 請比爾蓋茲假想自己要面試微軟的初階工程師工作,這時面對「為什麼
要聘用你呢? 」的問題,比爾蓋茲會怎麼回答呢?
【比爾蓋茲回答原文】
You should look at the code that I've written. You know, I'm kind of crazy. I
write software programs way beyond any classes that I've taken. And I think
I've gotten better over time. So take a look at how ambitious I've been
there.
I do think I can work well with people, I might criticize their code a little
harshly. But overall, I like to be on a team. I like ambitious goals. I like
thinking through how we can anticipate the future. Software is cool, and I
want to be involved.
【原文大意】
本段大意:你應該看看我寫的程式碼,我寫的軟體程式遠超過我上過的任何課程的程度,
而且我越寫越好。看過我的程式碼你就可以一窺我多有企圖心。我能夠與別人順利協作,
雖然我可能會用比較嚴峻的方式評論別人的程式碼,但總的來說我喜歡在團隊當中。我喜
歡遠大的目標,喜歡思考我們能如何預見未來。對我來說打造軟體是很酷的事,而我想參
與在其中。
【回答解析】
Show, don’t tell - 省去華麗詞藻包裝直接舉例。與其說「我對程式充滿熱情 或 我追
求卓越」,不如說 I write software programs way beyond any classes that I've
taken. 畢竟,假如你願意去做超越課堂上教的,那就意味著你有某種程度的熱情以及願
意追求卓越。
Earn the right - 要能說出自己某項特質,就得先問問自己是否曾為自己掙得資格
(earn the right) 來回答。意即自己是否有過去的行動與經歷來證明;而不是僅是嘴上
說說。假如你平常閒餘時間都做別的事,而不是去寫程式,很難說服人你熱愛程式,這時
你就沒有 earn the right 去說你愛寫程式
【小練習】
Step 1: 試著寫下自己的優點
Step 2: 用列出能代表這些優點的具體事項
Step 3: 練習跟別人分享這些事項,看別人能不能從你的具體事蹟感受到你的優點;如果
不行則練習不同講法
【跟著原文學英文面試句法】
#要說做某件事超乎一般水準
I _________ way beyond _____
(例如 I write software programs way beyond any classes that I've taken.)
#要說自己在某件事不斷進步
I've gotten better over time
#要說自己有團隊能力 / 喜歡團隊合作
I can work well with people / I like to be on a team
