如何回答面试中的棘手问题

 　　You know they're coming: Those seemingly unanswerable questions that pop up during job interviews.

　　你知道该来的总会来：那些看起来无法回覆的问题总会在求职面试的时辰俄然冒出来。

　　You can't clam¹ up. And you don't want to stutter and stammer². So what's a job seeker to do?

　　你不想一声不吭，也不想结结巴巴。那么，一个求职者应该怎么做呢？

　　The 'Future' Question

　　关于“未来”的问题

　　Otherwise known as the "big picture" question, the future question goes something like this: "Where do you see yourself in five years?"

　　除了那些“宏不美观的”问题之外，关于未来的问题老是像这样的：“你感受五年后你会在侍趵砘置上？”

　　The best tactic³: Talk about your values.

　　最好的策略：谈论你的价值不美观。

　　Don't get too detailed⁴ about your specific career plan. Instead, discuss things that are important to you professionally and how you plan to achieve them. If growth is a goal, mention that. You can also talk about challenge, another value that employers prize in their employees.

　　不要把你的职业规划说的太具体。取而代之的是，谈论一些在职业方面临你很主要的工作以及你筹算若何实现这些。如不美观成长是一个方针，可以提一下。你还可以说说挑战，这是雇主在员工身上很正视的一点。

　　The 'Salary' Question

　　关于“薪水”的问题

　　Most people will tell you that whoever answers this question first loses. But that's not necessarily true.

　　大大都人城市告诉你谁最先回覆这个问题谁就输了。但也不必然是真的。

　　When an interviewer asks your salary requirement, try first to gently deflect⁵ the question by inquiring about the salary for the position.

　　如不美观觉得雇主问你待遇要求，首先试试打个擦边球，问问这个职位的薪水是若干好多。

　　If the interviewer presses you for a number, give a range. To decide
