Original Post:Surviving an interview with me
Nicholas C. Zakas,2007年3月27日
翻译完成:2010年1月9日,最后更新:2010年1月10日

早就打算写这篇文章了,但时至今日才决定动笔。如果你投了简历,那么应该会在面试你的人名单里找到我的名字。你现在就有点紧张了,(好啦,别不好意思)面试总会让人感觉有点不舒服。作为面试官,我其实并不算难对付,但如果你想在我们谈话之后让我放你过关,你确实得做一些必要的准备。

  • 回答问题。我问你一个问题,你必须要回答它。我遇到应聘者在回答我问题时顾左右而言他的情况太多了。我知道你会有些紧张,说几句不着边际的话可能有助于缓解,但请你不要喋喋不休,要赶快回到正题上来。我不想知道你的宠物猫最近又出了什么新状况,我只想听到你的回答。假如你没有听明白我问的是什么,可以要求我再解释一下,重复几遍问题或者换一种问法,对我而言没有什么。
  • 告诉我你不知道什么。如果我问到了你不知道的问题,一定要告诉我。我不认为你的大脑里可以装得下百科全书。在知道了你不知道什么以后,我对你的评估才会更加公平。问题仍然要回答,但我会给你一些提示,同时也可以考察一下你解决问题的能力。
  • 不要放弃。在我面试你的过程中,不要总想着放弃。如果你被我前面的话不幸言中,那么你可能会面对一个让你不知所措的问题,而且你也告诉我你答不上来了。此时此刻,千万不要打退堂鼓!我会尽力提醒你,让你找到正确答案;因此不要随随便便打断我说:“我真的不知道。”在我们这个行业,你经常会遇到没有现成解决方案的挑战,到时候你会轻易放弃吗?我必须知道你具备解决问题的能力,而不是遇到一点挫折就轻言放弃。
  • 不用担心怪问题。有些公司的确有吓唬应聘者的传统,他们会让你回答一些类似脑筋急转弯似的稀奇古怪的问题。对那种面试方式,我不敢苟同。我提的所有问题都有答案,而且绝大多数还不止有一个正确答案;我保证一个怪问题也不会问你。因为这样既会让你难堪,又对我毫无意义。你大可放心,我的每个问题都至少会有一个正确答案。
  • 自圆其说。如果你提到了某个解决方案或者强调自己掌握了某方面知识,请做好进一步讨论它的准备。假设我问了一个问题,你在回答这个问题时提到:“对,因为IE不支持CSS3……”然后,你最好能够跟我讨论一下要是IE支持CSS3你会怎么办。
  • 不要说自己是专家。大多数面试中可能都需要注意这一条,但我对这一条尤其敏感。我从来不会把应聘者划分为三六九等,因此你也不必告诉我你属于哪个等级。一旦你声明自己已经跻身“专家”的行列,我怕有些问题会让你下不来台。我确实见过自称专家而又确实是专家的人。但是,我认为真正的专家不会自己说出来,而是会做给你看。
  • 不要靠卖弄赚取我的好印象。如果我想知道什么,我会问。我知道在面试时需要了解哪些信息,只要一听到有人说“想不想看一个绝妙的技巧?”或者其他类似的话,我都有一种立即中断面试的冲动。所以,请尽力回答好我的问题即可。
  • 充满激情。如果你想得到跟我一起工作的机会,请给我一个愿意跟你共事的理由。最好的理由就是要有激情,把你主动、积极学习的热情展示出来。希望你能谈一谈产品、公司,以及为什么想得到这份工作。尤其要注意最后一点,我不想听你说你当前的工作如何如何讨厌。当然,可以解释一下为什么现在或者过去没有从事你喜欢的工作,但你一定要告诉我你对自己今后的成长有何打算,还有为什么你应聘的这个职位能够有助于你的成长。

没错,我确实希望将来有可能被我面试的所有人都看到这篇文章。我希望你能在我面试你时表现得非常好,真的,确实如此。说来也简单,只要你留意上述这些常见的问题,并且原原本本地展示你自己就足够了。说不定哪一天,你就会跟我坐到同一间办公室里了。

注意,My Yahoo!团队正在招聘呢。如果你是一位有才华的软件工程师,又对创造价值和Yahoo!公司充满激情,请跟我联系,咱们谈谈。

    [...] 有的应聘者说我不好对付,但留给他们这样的印象也并非我所愿。我觉得之所以他们说我不好对付,主要是因为我问他们问题时问得太细了。以前我曾专门写过一些东西,告诉应聘者怎么才能通过我的面试以及怎样才能成为优秀的前端工程师应该具备什么样的素质,而我的面试可以说完全是按照那两篇文章的标准进行的。我不会问一些特别偏门的问题,也不认为出几道逻辑题就能考出人的真实水平。我唯一的想法就是确定你能否胜任我们要招的这个职位。为此,我需要简单地考察如下几个方面。 [...]

    Mark Felt. That was a successful operation. One wonders if Nixon even knew about what the FBI were or were not doing, whether he truly understood just how corrupt the FBI was from Hoovers internal spy rings. Nixon wanted to fight the media. Thats a noble goal. He should have paid more attention to his back, like Sarah Palin should have.

    NFL spokesman Greg Aiello acknowledged the discussions using the Colts greater compared to weekend. “The team completely understood the problems and committed to addressing them,” Aiello mentioned in an electric mail toward the connected Press. “We have been informed last evening of the choice reached by the team and Mr.Tressel. We think it is appropriate.”
    In a statement, Polian mentioned that “questions have been raised with respect toward the equity of his appointment as opposed to suspensions getting serves this season by present and previous Ohio State players.” yangchengbin/201111
