Usually job seekers will respond with their 30 second commercial, and then elaborate on their background. While almost every career book and career counselor will tell you that is the appropriate response, I totally disagree. 　　当你是一个求职者，会被问最普遍的，也是最难的一个面试问题那就是自我介绍，也许你作为一个面试者成败就在于这个问题。通常求职者都会以30秒的自我推销加上详细的背景描述。然而几乎大部分的介绍职业生涯的书和职业顾问者都会告诉你这是一个很合适的回应，但我却不是那样认为的。 　　Many people fail in their job search because they are too often focused on what they want in a job including industry, type of position, location, income, benefits, and work environment. Their 30 second commercial is centered around this premise. The commercial describes the job seekers career history and what they are looking for. Too often, this is in direct contrast to what employers are looking for. 　　寻找很多求职者在求职中遭遇失败的原因，概括来讲，他们太过在意这份工作的行业、职位、公司的位置、收入、以及福利和工作环境，所以在他们的30秒自我介绍过程中肯定是和以上几方面相关的。自我推销描述了求职者的工作经历和他们的求职意向。但常常这几方面恰好和雇主的想要了解的方面是相反的。 　　There are two dominant reasons why job seekers are successful in the job search. The first is focusing on the needs of the organization. The second is focusing on the needs of the people within that organization. In this article, we are going to examine how to focus on the needs of the people within organizations. This will assist in rethinking your response to that all-important question, Tell me about yourself. 　　I求职者求职成功有两大原因，第一是关注企业所需；第二是关注这个组织里的人的所需。 在这篇文章里我们将探求如何去关注组织内人员的需求。这将帮助你重新审视一下所有重要问题中的”自我介绍” 　　in order to learn how to respond to the needs of the interviewer, lets first learn more about ourselves. We can then apply that knowledge about ourselves to knowing how to understand and respond to the needs of others. 　　为了弄清楚怎么样去迎合面试官的需求，先让我们了解一下自身。之后我们才能都提供我们自身的信息和弄清楚如何去迎合别人所需。 　　Most social psychologists recognize four basic personality styles: Analytical, Amiable, Expressive, and Driver. Usually, each of us exhibits personality characteristics unique to one of the styles. However, we also possess characteristics to a lesser degree in the other styles. To determine your unique style, you can take a Myers-Briggs assessment or go to the following site for a free Keirsey Temperament Sorter assessment test: 　　www.keirsey.com 　　大部分的心理学家都认为人分为四种基本性格模式： 分析型、友善型、健谈型、驾驭型；我们每个人都会独特展现四个维度中的一个方面，以此同时我们也拥有一种相对于其他类型的性格来讲比较少凸显的性格。想要了解你的独特个性你可以通过迈尔斯-布里格斯（myers-briggs）性格测试或者通过柯塞人格气质量表来进行测试：www.keirsey.com 　　Here are the characteristics that are most commonly associated with each of the styles: 　　以下是伴随每种性格的各种不同的特质 　　Analytical:Positive Traits: Precise, Methodical, Organized, Rational, Detail Oriented Negative Traits: Critical, Formal, Uncertain, Judgmental, Picky 　　分析型 正向特质：细致的,有条理的,善于组织的,理性的,细节导向型的 负面特质：批判的，正统的，不确定，审判的，挑剔的 　　Amiable:Positive Traits: Cooperative, Dependable, Warm, Listener, Negotiator Negative Traits: Undisciplined, Dependent, Submissive, Overly Cautious, Conforming 　　友善型 正面特质：善于合作的，可靠的，热心的，倾听者，协调者 负面特质：没有原则的，依赖的，顺从的，过于警惕的，人云亦云 　　Expressive:Positive Traits: Enthusiastic, Persuasive, Outgoing, Positive, Communicator Negative Traits: Ego Centered, Emotional, Exploitive, Opinionated, Reacting 　　健谈型 　　正面特质：有激情的，可以说服的，外向的，积极地，沟通者 负面特质：自我为中心，感情用事的，善于利用型的 　　Driver:Positive Traits: Persistent, Independent, Decision Maker, Effective, Strong Willed Negative Traits: Aggressive, Strict, Intense, Relentless, Rigid 　　驾驭型 正面特质：执着，独立，决策者，高效率的，意志坚强的 负面特质：侵略性的，严格的，极端的，无情的，一成不变的 　　Gaining an in-depth understanding of your personality style has enormous value in your career as well as your personal life. However, our focus today is learning how to use this knowledge to make you more successful in your job search. 　　获取你性格类型的深入认知对你的职业发展和个人生活都有有重要价值。而今天我们的重点是在学会如何利用这一认知来让你在求职中取得成功。 　　Once you have learned about your own style and have studied the other styles, I encourage you to have a little fun in trying to determine the styles of others. When you meet someone for the first time, try to identify his or her style within the first two minutes. You can often identify styles by observing a persons demeanor, conversation, body language, appearance, and possessions. 　　一旦你了解了自己的性格类型以及其他的性格类型的时候，我鼓励你带着娱乐的心态试着去了解其他人的性格类型。当你初次遇到某人的时候，在前两分钟里不妨试着去识别他或者她的性格类型。你可以通过他的个人举止，言谈，肢体语言，表情以及私人物品来断定他的性格类型。 　　To demonstrate what I mean, lets take some examples from the business world. While there are always exceptions, generally speaking the styles fit the example. 　　为了证明我的观点，我们来举一些来自商业圈里的例子。当然也会有例外的时候，但是通常来讲所举的例子都和性格类型相匹配。 　　Analytical Style: Financial Manager (or programmers, engineers, and accountants). They like systems and procedures. They are slow to make decisions because they will analyze things to death?but their decisions are usually very sound. They prefer working independently and are usually not very good in team environments, but they are also dependable. They buy cars with good resale value and great gas mileage. They are conservative dressers. At the party, they want to know why so much money was spent on Michelob when we could have purchased Busch. They come to the party with their laptops. 　　分析型：财务经理（或者程序员，工程师或者会计）他们喜欢系统和程序。他们会把事情分析地很透导致决策的进程很慢。但是他们的决策通常都是很科学的，他们倾向于独立工作不太善于在团队的氛围中工作，但是他们也很可靠。他们买车通常会买转手价值会比较高的，排量大的汽车。在穿着方面会比较保守。在宴会上他们甚至会想知道为什么花那么多钱在啤酒商，其实我们本可以买Busch的作品。他们会带着笔记本电脑来参加宴会。 　　Amiable Style: Human Resources Manager. Very people-focused. They are dependable, loyal and easygoing; very compassionate. They will give you the shirt off their backs and the last nickel in their pockets. They are good listeners and value team players who dont rock the boat. They are usually conformists and followers?rarely leaders. They avoid conflict and are not good decision makers. They drive four-door sedans or mini-vans to take the kids to sporting events. They usually clean up after the party is over. 　　友善型：人力资源经理，很关注人。他们很可靠，诚实和随和，非常有同情心。他们会从身上脱下外套给你披上还可以给你身上的最后一块铜板。他们是很好的倾听者，从不捣烂群体的有价值的团队成员。很少会是领袖。他们尽量避免冲突，不是善于做决策者。他们会来四扇门的轿车或者迷你车搭载着孩子去参加体育赛事。他们也会在宴会结束后帮助清理会场。 　　Expressive Style: Sales Manager. Very outgoing and enthusiastic, with a high energy level. They are also great idea generators, but usually do not have the ability to see the idea through to completion. Very opinionated and egotistical. Mon
