Сообщение от Пряник
Задумалась, а что говорить о слабых сторонах? Неужели все честно рассказывать  ? Или как? |
я ходила на собеседование в кадровое аг-во Анкор и взяла у них брошюрку по поводу собеседований. Там было написано примерно следующее (дословно не воспроизведу, она где-то затерялась):
постарайтесь преподнести свои сильные стороны, как слабые. Что-то подобное. На первый взгляд чушь-чушью. Но суть там примерно такая:
вместо того, чтобы сказать, что вы нерешительны, можно сказать - я не люблю принимать скоропалительные решения, предпочитаю предварительно все обдумать. Или же - я быстро принимаю решения, что многие принимают за нетерпеливость.
Я после собеседования в Анкоре, где меня попросили на английском рассказать о сильных своих сторонах, перевела часть этой брошюры на английском.
Вот она:
