Employers aregetting more creative with their questions to help evaluate apotential hire's skills, personality and fit with the company'sculture.
雇主們越來越喜歡問一些有創(chuàng)意性的問題，以此來評估雇員們的技術(shù)、個性以及其是否能融入公司文化。
'Asking one of these questions can
throwoff a little, and you get a real answer, not something
theyrehearsed over and over', said Allison Berry, Glassdoor
communityexpert.
Glassdoor社區(qū)的專家埃里森·貝利表示：“問這些問題可以對面試者來個出其不意，從而讓他們答出真正的答案，而不是那些他們練習(xí)了一遍又一遍的答案?！?/div>
Here are 10 tough interview questionsjob
candidates reported being asked：
以下是一些面試者曾經(jīng)遇到的十個難以回答的問題：
1."How do you explain a vendingmachine to someone who hasn't seen or used onebefore?" 1.“如果一個人既沒見過也沒用過自動販賣機，你準(zhǔn)備怎么向這個人解釋這個東西？”
You are really good at what you do.
Butare you able to convey your knowledge to people outside of
yourfield? That's what this question is getting at,
explainedBerry.
貝利解釋道，你可以在你所做的領(lǐng)域很出色。但是如果你向這個領(lǐng)域外的人介紹你的知識呢？這就是這個問題的重點所在。
A person in this position is
miningthrough data all day long, she said. "They are looking to
findpeople who can communicate well and share results with people
whomight not be as well versed in data."
這個職位上的人整天都沉浸在數(shù)據(jù)的海洋里。她說道：“他們要的是有很強的溝通能力，能把結(jié)果告訴那些并不精通數(shù)據(jù)的人。”
2."How many fire hydrants are there inLos Angeles County?" 2.“洛杉磯縣有多少個消防栓？”
Chances are the employer doesn't knowthe
answer to this question, and is really looking to see how
acandidate would solve the problem.
候選人該感到幸運，因為他的雇主也不知道這道題的答案，這真是在考驗他們解決問題的能力。
Walk them through how you would
approachthe problem, don't get tripped up doing math,
Berryrecommended.
貝利建議，告訴他們你解這個問題的思路，不要死腦筋地進(jìn)行數(shù)學(xué)運算。
3."If your current employer had ananniversary party for you, what five words would be written on thecake to describe you?" 3.“如果你現(xiàn)在的老板為你舉辦了一個周年紀(jì)念派對，哪五個詞會被寫在派對的蛋糕上來形容你？”
While some people aren't
comfortabletooting their own horn, showcasing your talents is key
in aninterview. "You are one of many candidates, you have to show
whyyou deserve the job over the others," said Berry.
盡管人們都不喜歡吹自己的牛，但是展示你的能力是面試中的重要一點。貝利說道：“你是眾多候選人中的一個，你要展示出你能勝任這項工作的原因”。
4."Who in history would you want to goto dinner with and why?" 4.“你最想和哪個歷史上的人物共進(jìn)晚餐？為什么？”
This is a good example of an
employertrying to evaluate whether a candidate would fit in with
thecompany's culture and who a person is outside out of
work,explained Berry
貝利解釋說：“這是個極好的例子，雇主可以通過這個問題考察候選者是否能融入公司文化，哪些人不能勝任工作”。
5."Prove that hoop stress is twice thelongitudinal stress in a cylindrical pressure vessel." 5.“證明在壓力容器中環(huán)向應(yīng)力是縱向應(yīng)力的兩倍。”
While hiring managers want a glimpse
ofan interviewee's personality, they also want to know a
candidatehas the required skills.
在招聘人才時管理者需要了解面試者的個性，但也要知道他們是否擁有勝任工作需具備的技能。
6."What's the capital ofCanada?" 6.“加拿大的首都是哪？”
This is an example of a question that
isso random that it can get a candidate off any
rehearsedanswers.
這個問題相當(dāng)隨意，候選人根本不用多加考慮。
They aren't necessarily looking for
theright answer, said Berry. "One thing you could say, 'oh, I
don'tknow that off the top of my head, but I do know the major
citiesinclude...'"
貝利說道：“他們并不是真想聽到正確答案。你可以說‘呃，這個我怎么想都想不起來，但是我知道一些重要城市，比如……’”
7."Name a brand that represents you asa person." 7.“說一個能代表你的公司名稱。”
Try and tie your answer back to
theposition, but don't feel like you have to name the company you
areapplying to work for, advised Berry.
貝利建議：“試著設(shè)身處地地將自己放到那個問題情境中，但是別老想著用你來參加面試的這個公司的名字”。
8."Estimate how many employees are inthe next building" 8.“估計一下旁邊那棟樓里有多少員工？”
Here's a chance to show off yourcritical
thinking skills on how you tackle problems.
這是你表現(xiàn)批判性思維的機會，向他們展現(xiàn)你怎么著手解決這個問題。
Count the number of floors, windows
andhow many people per area and then explain your math,
recommendedBerry.
貝利的建議是：數(shù)樓層、窗戶數(shù)以及每塊區(qū)域有多少人，然后用數(shù)學(xué)進(jìn)行計算。
9."How many happy birthday posts doyou think Facebook gets in one day?" 9.“你覺得Facebook上一天有多少人會過生日？”
This is a dual purpose question:
Theinterviewer is evaluating how much you know about the company
andtesting your problem-solving skills.
這個問題有雙重目的：面試官想考察你有多了解Facebook這家公司以及你解決問題的能力。
10."If you could take anyone on a roadtrip with you, who would you take and why?" 10.“如果你可以帶任何人去自駕游，你會帶誰去？為什么？”
Employers like to ask potential newhires
who will interact with customers questions to
gaugepersonality.
雇主喜歡通過問那些將來要和客戶交流的雇員一些問題來評估他們的性格。
