面试大闯关：自我介绍放大招

It's the most feared question during any job interview: Can you tell me about yourself? Before I share a list of 10 memorable answers, consider the two essential elements behind the answers:

“你可以介绍一下自己吗？”此题乃是面试无法回避的可怕存在。在看我的建议之前，先了解一下回答背后的重要逻辑。

The medium is the message. The interviewer cares less about your answer to this question and more about the confidence, enthusiasm and passion with which you answer it. The speed of the response is the response. The biggest mistake you could make is pausing, stalling or fumbling at the onset of your answer, thus demonstrating a lack of self-awareness and self-esteem.

信息只是媒介。比起你给出的答卷，面试官更在意你回答时的自信、热忱和激情，你回答的速度本身就是答案。而你可能犯的最严重失误就是支支吾吾的样子，这就坐实了你缺乏自信，和自我认知。

第1招：立即抓住眼球

"I can summarize who I am in three words." Grabs their attention immediately. Demonstrates your ability to be concise, creative and compelling.

第2招：座右铭

"The quotation I live my life by is…" Proves that personal development is an essential part of your growth plan. Also shows your ability to motivate yourself.

第3招：人生观

"My personal philosophy is…" Companies hire athletes – not shortstops. This line indicates your position as a thinker, not just an employee.

第4招：自我认知

"People who know me best say that I'm…" This response offers insight into your own level of self-awareness.

第5条：“今早我百度了一下自己的名字，结果发现了这个… ”

"Well, I googled myself this morning, and here's what I found…" Tech-savvy, fun, cool people would say this. Unexpected and memorable.

第6条：你热爱什么？

"My passion is…" People don't care what you do – people care who you are. And what you're passionate about is who you are. Plus, passion unearths enthusiasm.

第7条：“我从7岁开始就…”

"When I was seven years old, I always wanted to be…" An answer like this shows that you've been preparing for this job your whole life, not just the night before.

第8条：“如果把我的人生拍成电影，那名字应该是…”

"If Hollywood made a move about my life, it would be called…" Engaging, interesting and entertaining.

第9条：让自己从口袋里跳出来！

"Can I show you, instead of tell you?" Then, pull something out of your pocket that represents who you are. Who could resist this answer? Who could forget this answer?

第10条：“朋友们一般这么夸我”

"The compliment people give me most frequently is…" Almost like a testimonial, this response also indicates self-awareness and openness to feedback.

Keep in mind that these examples are just the opener. The secret is thinking how you will follow up each answer with relevant, interesting and concise explanations that make the already bored interviewer look up from his stale coffee and think, "Wow! That's the best answer I've heard all day!"

我的例子只是帮你打开脑洞，请自行举一反三。成功的诀窍就是如何切题、有趣、简洁地阐述你的回答，让那些已经昏昏欲睡的面试官惊喜地想：这就是今天的最佳答案！

I understand your fear with such answers. Responses like these are risky, unexpected and unorthodox. And that's exactly why they work. When people ask you to tell them about yourself, make them glad they asked.

你看到以上答案也许会觉得不敢照着做，因为太冒险、出乎意料，不循规蹈矩。而这恰恰是它能奏效的原因。当有人让你自我介绍时，惊艳他们！
