问倒面试官 1

How has this position evolved since it was created?

从设立这个职位以来，这个职位发成了怎样的变化？

 

Getting a brief history on the role should clear up whether the position has expanded over the years or has been a dead end for employees, Palmer says.

Palmer表示，对这个职位的历史有一个简单的了解会让你知道该职位已经存在多年还是一个员工的死胡同。

 

Interpreting the response: If the interviewer says the position has expanded beyond its original scope (and is continuing to do so), that signifies an opportunity for growth within the company. If the position has stayed static for years, don't expect to blossomthere. Depending on your career ambitions, the latter response isn't necessarily bad, Palmer says.

解读面试官的反馈：如果面试官表示这个职位的职能已经超出最原始的范围（并且还在不停扩大），那么这个职位在这家公司就会有非常好的发展机会。如果好几年这个职位停滞不前，那就别指望它能开花结果了。当然Palmer也表示，根据自己的职业期望，后一种情况也并非一定是坏事。

 

What have past employees done to succeed in this position?

过去的员工是如何采取行动在这个职位当中取得成功的？

 

Knowing how the organization measures achievements will help you understand what the expectations will be and whether you have the skill set to meet them, Palmer says. But don't undermine your past accomplishments just because your route to success doesn't match up with the one embraced by the company. "You also don't want to be too narrowly defined by what other people have done. Because you're a different person, you may approach things a little differently," she says.

Palmer说，知道这家机构如何去衡量成功会帮助你了解公司对你的期望，以及你是否具备必要的技能去满足公司的需求。但是，也不要因为之前取得成功的路径不被现在的雇主看好而否认之前的成绩。她说道，“你也不想很狭隘地根据别人做过的事被评判。因为你是另外一个人，你处理事情也就会和他人有所不同。”

 

Interpreting the response: You may hear a description that highlights the positive and negative attributes of your predecessor. That could be a good indicator of the company's culture. "Typically, what one person has done to be successful is what the organization tends to do to be successful," Palmer says.

解读面试官的反馈：你听到的回答可能会强调对于该职位上一个员工正面或者负面的描述。这可能是企业文化很好的一个风向标。Palmer说：“个人在哪方面取得成功，那么一家公司往往也在这方面取得成功。”
