《[4]面试 Job Interview (4)》歌词

[00:00:00] Manager: I’ve just looked over your resume

[00:00:01] and I must admit I am quite impressed.

[00:00:06] Sales Rep: Thank you. I’ve worked pretty hard

[00:00:07] to be able to list those accomplishments.

[00:00:10] Manager: You’ve got plenty of training and experience.

[00:00:13] I wonder if you could tell me something about your goals.

[00:00:16] Where do you see yourself ten years from now?

[00:00:20] Rep: To be honest, I don’t plan in that much detail.

[00:00:23] My goals tend to be general;

[00:00:25] I define success according to the job at hand.

[00:00:28] I see myself advancing as I succeed,

[00:00:31] but I don’t necessarily dwell

[00:00:32] on the timing of each step.

[00:00:35] Manager: interesting!

[00:00:36] And how do you feel about decision-making?

[00:00:39] Are you an independent thinker,

[00:00:41] or do you depend more on your superior for direction?

[00:00:46] Rep: That depends a bit on the problem at hand.

[00:00:49] There are certain situations

[00:00:51] in which a manager can give a general directive,

[00:00:54] and expect his employees to know

[00:00:56] how to take the initiative on the details.

[00:00:59] I am known for taking the initiative,

[00:01:01] but I believe I also have the discernment

[00:01:04] to wait for direction

[00:01:06] when the situation calls for that.

[00:01:09] Manager: Sounds good.

[00:01:11] Everyone is taking about teams these days.

[00:01:14] Can you describe your role as

[00:01:15] a member of a sales team?

[00:01:18] Rep: I see myself as an encourager.

[00:01:21] Of course, sales can be quite competitive

[00:01:23] and sometimes people in this field

[00:01:25] have a secret desire for others to fail.

[00:01:28] In my last job, each representative

[00:01:31] handled a different region.

[00:01:33] I developed a system for sharing sales

[00:01:35] gimmicks that worked.

[00:01:37] Soon the whole sales team started saving up stories,

[00:01:41] not just to brag, but to share.

[00:01:45] Manager: So, your experience is

[00:01:46] as impressive in practice as it is on paper.
