求職面談時,不要死背你預備的稿子

要參加求職面談,做好準備當然很重要,包含你要想好如何回答面談官可能會問你的一些問題。
但是,你不會想要死背你所預備的應答稿子。如果你回答的太快或是太順,看起來就像你在覆誦,很呆板而不是很自然的對話。
所以,在面談官提問后,即使你已經準備好了回應的內容,還是最好先停頓一下,仔細想好他問題中的關鍵字眼,在腦中重新組合好,再做回應。
你可以這樣說:“讓我告訴你一些在我求職履歷表上沒有寫上的故事。”如此,會激發面談官更有興趣聽你要說出的新鮮內容,而非低頭在翻閱你的履歷表。

Don't memorize your prepared script during a job interview
It is of course important to be prepared for a job interview, including figuring out how to answer some of the questions that the interviewer might ask you. 
However, you don't want to memorize your prepared response. If you answer too quickly or too smoothly, it looks like you're repeating it. It's a stiff conversation rather than a natural conversation.
Therefore, even if you're ready to respond after the interviewer's question, it's better to pause first, think carefully about the key words in his question, regroup in your head, and then respond. 
You can say this: "Let me tell you some stories that aren't on my resume." This will inspire the interviewer to be more interested in listening to what you want to say, rather than looking down at your resume.

如何假裝有信心?

當你感覺到難以承受壓力時,最佳度過難關的做法是假裝你已經有了可以克服困難的信心。
以下的做法能夠讓你假裝你已經可以克服困難了:
  1. 正面思考。你愈能夠專注在讓你有壓迫感的挑戰上,你愈能夠感覺你可以克服它。試著讓你自己感受你所面臨的挑戰是個新機會,而非威脅。
  2. 觀摩與學習。觀察他人的領導模樣。注意他們是如何運用幽默、沉默,魅力來影響他人。然後,將這些技巧融入到你自己的行為風格上。
  3. 讓自己身體高挺。大步走路,走路時挺胸。坐挺。讓自己外貌看來有自信,對他人有感染力。
How do you pretend to be confident?
When you feel it's hard to bear pressure, the best way to get through it is to pretend you have confidence that you can overcome the difficulties.
The following can make you pretend that you can overcome the difficulties:
  1. Positive thinking. The more you can focus on the challenge that makes you feel oppressive, the more you can feel that you can overcome it. Trying to make yourself feel the challenge you face is a new opportunity, not a threat.
  2. Observe and learn. Look at the leadership of others. Pay attention to how they use humor, silence, and charm to influence others. Then, integrate these skills into your own style of behavior.
  3. Let your body be high. Walk in a big step and walk with your chest. Sit down. Make yourself confident and infective to others.

如何在實習工作中獲得最多?

有實習工作機會,是能夠讓你獲得工作經驗、建立豐富履歷,甚至是獲得正式工作職位的好機會。但是,短期的實習工作也難以讓你有足夠時間做好完全的學習,難以確保工作,也不一定能夠讓人為你推薦正式的工作職位。那麼,你應該如何能夠在實習期間,讓自己能夠受到重用?
  1. 準時上班。每天準時或是提早到班,開會前就到會議室,將指派的工作按時完成。
  2. 將每件工作做到完美。確保將所指派的工作確實完成。如果要求你泡咖啡,你也要為同事遞上他們從未嘗過的風味絕佳的咖啡。如果要求你製作一個Excel表格,你也要認真做到正確、美觀。若是要求你製作Word文件,你要確保文句正確,沒有錯別字,編排美觀典雅。
  3. 問出好問題。當你遇到同事或長官時,仔細思考后提出問題,讓人們感覺到你做好了準備接受更高的挑戰,並且尊重他們的經驗與時間。
How do you get the most in the internship?
An opportunity for an internship is a good opportunity for you to gain experience, build a rich resume, and even get a formal job. However, short-term internship is also hard for you to have enough time to complete your studies, so it is difficult to ensure your work and do not necessarily allow you to recommend a formal job. So, how can you be able to be reused during the internship?
  1. To work on time. Go to the class on time or early every day, and go to the meeting room before the meeting, and finish the assignment on time.
  2. Make every job perfect. Ensure that the assigned work is done. If you're asking for coffee, you also have to deliver the best coffee they've never tasted. If you are required to make a Excel form, you should be careful and beautiful. If you are asked to make a Word file, you need to make sure the text is correct, no typos, beautiful and elegant arrangement.
  3. Ask a good question. When you meet a colleague or a chief executive, think carefully and ask questions. Let people feel that you are ready to accept higher challenges and respect their experience and time.

改變工作習慣,提高生產力

生產行為是一種有規則的,可以讓你持續重複做,做出更多成果的方式。人們經常企圖改變他的工作方式,希望能夠提高生產力,但是最後都還是退回到舊習慣上。
若是你沒有改變你的環境,就可能沒法讓你的新的工作方式發揮作用。這可能是因為你原來的工作方式比較能夠適應你的工作空間。即使你的新想法可能聽起來有道理,但是你還是很容易感覺比較適應原來的舊習慣。
無論如何,你都可以開始設法改變你的工作方式。你可以先從稍微修正部分的工作方式開始。例如,每天比平常提早5分鐘到辦公室,用幾分鐘列出今天待辦的工作項目,即使不能列出全部,哪怕能夠確認好你早上要先處理哪一件老闆或同事正在期待的項目,都好。這樣可以讓你提高專注。
重點不是究竟如何完全翻轉你的工作方式,而是讓做出改變成為一種習慣。

Change work habits and increase productivity
Production behavior is a regular way that allows you to keep repeating and making more results. People often try to change the way he works, hoping to improve their productivity, but eventually they return to the old habits.
If you don't change your environment, you may not be able to play a role in your new way of work. This may be because your original way of work can be more adaptable to your workspace. Even if your new idea may sound reasonable, it's easy to feel more adaptable to the old habits.
In any case, you can start to try to change the way you work. You can start with a slightly modified part of the work. For example, every day 5 minutes earlier than usual, arrive at the office, with a few minutes to list today's to-do projects, even if you can't list all of them, even if you can confirm which project your boss or colleagues are looking for in the morning. This allows you to improve your focus.
The point is not how to completely flip the way you work, but to make a change a habit.

以關注呼吸來管理情緒壓力

就如其他對能量的管理,對情緒壓力的管理也需要有自覺力。領導者之所以能夠有效管理工作壓力是由於他們可以認知壓力的信號,然後能夠引導團隊工作回到正常狀態。
以後,當你感受到你的情緒壓力在升高時,你可以關注一下你的呼吸,做幾下深呼吸。在做深呼吸時,注意到臉部與胸腔組織的反應。在做了幾次自然的深呼吸后,切換到一個稱為“共振呼吸”的模式,就是吸氣10秒,然後呼氣10秒,每分鐘6次循環。練習幾次后,你就會自然用這樣的模式呼吸,然後你會發現你的情緒就可以得到控制而冷靜下來了。

Manage emotional stress by paying attention to breathing
Like other energy management, the management of emotional stress also needs to be conscious. The reason why leaders manage work stress effectively is that they can recognize the signals of stress and then lead the team to work back to normal.
Later, when you feel your emotional stress is rising, you can pay attention to your breathing and take a few deep breaths. During deep breathing, notice the response of the face to the thoracic tissue. After several natural deep breaths, switching to a pattern called resonance respiration is to breathe in for 10 seconds, then exhale for 10 seconds, and circulate 6 times a minute. After a few exercises, you will naturally breathe in such a pattern, and then you will find that your emotions can be controlled and calm down.
