点评： 一个很好的回答， 体现出了一个销售人员对完成任务的强烈的渴望， 同时也顺便带出了自己完不成任务的客观理由。
18. How would you evaluate the progress you made in your last job? 你如何来评价自己在上一份工作中的表现？
问题分析： 对于在上一份工作中表现平平的申请人， 这个问题简直如芒刺在背， 痛苦啊。但是， 哪怕面壁三天、 掘地三尺也要想出一两个你在上一份工作中的亮点， 否则， 只能在面试时芒刺在背了。
回答示范1： I am very proud of the progress I made in my last job. I joined the company as a new hand, but after only a year and a half, I was promoted to team leader. I could achieve such a rapid progress partly because my last job was in a small firm. If I can make the same progress in a large company like GE, I would be prouder.
点评1： 回答得非常好， 既吹嘘了自己的迅速成长， 也诚恳地指出自己是个羊群里的骆驼， 在小公司里才能获得如此快速的提升。
回答示范2： Well, I would give myself 70% if 100 means full satisfaction. I had some achievements in my last job. For example, I got 80-89% in the annual evaluation last year, which was 60%. The promotion program I organized on Wangfujing Road was highly successful and my client was very pleased. However, the results of several other programs were not quite satisfactory due to some reasons I couldn't control. Actually that's why I want to quit.
点评2： 这个回答可能更符合多数申请人的实际情况： 有成就， 也有失败。
19. What pressures did you have in your last job and how did you manage them? 你工作中有什么压力， 你是怎么样应付的？
问题分析： 平庸的人往往感受不到压力， 有能力的人往往在工作中遭遇很大的压力， 同时， 他们处理压力的方法也是相当积极有效的。
回答示范1： In my current job, most pressure comes from the high sales target. It’s extremely difficult to meet the target because it’s a 30% increase over the sales of last year, and the sales of last year were already quite high. However, I can manage this pressure well because although I can't meet the sales target, my sales abilities have never been challenged by my boss and others. Six out of seven sales reps can't meet the target this year and I am actually quite close to it.
点评1： 虽然该申请人没有说出具体的应付压力的办法， 但是他告诉面试官他并不受压力所困， 因为自己的能力早已经被公认。这是一个很自信的回答。
回答示范2： Well, I have to meet deadlines in my current job. Some projects have a very tight schedule, and even if we do a lot of over time work it’s still hard to meet the deadline. This gives me a lot of pressure. Usually I manage the pressure by communicating honestly with my boss. If he can understand me I feel relaxed.
点评2： 非常入情入理的回答。做技术工作的人员通常为了赶项目而熬通宵， 而如果熬通宵也不能如期交付项目的话， 势必会造成心理压力。争取老板的理解， 的确是缓解压力的好办法。
回答示范3： There are many emergencies in my current job, you know, customer challenges, unexpected orders. As the customer service officer with the longest experience I am usually put in charge of handling emergencies， you know, like a firefighter. This gives me lots of pressure because I can't let my boss down. I could handle these pressures well, partly because I'm used to them.
