點評:Teamwork 是所有的 Behavioral interview questions 中最常見的問題因為對於大多數的職位來說,團隊合作精神都是非常重要的,無論是入門級還是高層級別的職位。HR 在願意與你共事之前,會希望確認你是不是一個富有團隊合作精神的人。問 Behavioral interview questions 其實就是給你一個機會用相關的實例去展示自己在這一方面確實符合 HR 的要求。想要輕鬆駕馭這些問題,只要一些小小準備就夠了。

首先我們來一起分析下為什麼面試官會問到 Teamwork 呢?

大多數的工作都需要與其他人打交道。在企業確認錄用面試者之前,那些都成精了的經理希望了解面試者是不是具有以下特質:你平易近人嗎?你善於合作嗎?無論面對什麼樣的人,你是不是都能有效地與其溝通?

求職者應該認真琢磨招聘信息中的職位要求,盡量去理解對於每一個不同的職位來說,Teamwork 分別暗示了一些怎樣的要求。如果是入門級的職位,Teamwork 也許就只是在一個專業的環境裡面,你能夠與身邊的同事好好相處。這樣的話,你就需要選一個相關性最強的團隊合作經歷來展示自己。

那麼該如何回答 Teamwork Behavioral Questions

我們都有過團隊合作的經歷,或許是在實習、學校、志願活動或者課外活動的時候。在你去參加下一個面試之前,靜靜地坐下來,列個清單,把自己還記得的以前參加過的團隊項目寫下來。開始的時候別管那些經歷是不是突出,只要能想到的,都先寫下來。在開始篩選之前,先給自己一個打開腦洞的時間,盡量去回憶。

那要什麼樣的例子適合用在面試中呢?下面是一些篩選的標準:

1.越新越好。比如說上年發生的相關事情就不錯。當然了,如果更之前發生過一件能令人印象深刻的相關事兒,那也是可以的。

2.在那件事兒里,你就是英雄。選一件能體現你自己高大形象的事例。也許是你解決了難題、化解了衝突、團結了隊伍,又或許是你做出了一些成就。

3.相關性高。每一個面試職位的職位要求都仔細閱讀,抓住當中關於團隊合作這方面的要求。然後選一個相關性最高的例子,最好的做法是選幾個不同類型的團隊合作項目備著。

4.額外展示自身其他的優勢。如果可以的話,選一個除了能體現自己良好的團隊合作精神之外,還能體現自己其他優點的例子,比如高超的領導力、敏銳的數字能力或者過人的銷售能力。

5.用 STAR 策略來組織自己的事例。之前,我們有用過 STAR 策略來回答過另外一個 Behavioral question ,今天我們同樣利用這個策略來幫助你們解決 Teamwork behavioral question 。STAR 真心好用,真心萬能。

Sample Answer ——「Tell me a team project that you worked on.」

以下例子能讓你了解如何用STAR策略展示你如何著重體現團隊合作、在團隊中中如何與他人相處與合作的重要表現。

S/T(Situation/Task)——闡述事例背景,讓面試官了解項目的基本情況是怎樣的(當然要展示一下這個項目有多麼重要和困難)。

回答範例

At Bank XYZ, we were preparing to roll out the new release of our online corporate banking platform. My role was to manage the communications to customers about the new release, which involved coordinating with dozens of people from Technology, Operations, various Product areas, Customer Service, and Marketing. This particular release included a major new reporting feature that customers really needed — so it was important to get it right.

回答評析

通過這些要點,我們就能對這個顯然比較複雜的項目有個基本的了解。銀行電子平台、發布過程以及動態協作的方方面面還是很容易搞亂的。但是,你想要在保持這部分簡潔明了的前提下,依舊能清楚闡述項目重要性以及項目範圍。想清楚哪一些細節才是闡述背景情況的重點。記住,我們的目標是要把這部分的用時保持在1到2分鐘之內,而把更多的時間花在A和R這兩部分(因為這兩部分才是展示面試者優點的重頭戲)。

A(Action)——具體講一下你採取了什麼措施。對於團隊合作來說,重點是要體現你愉快地、有效地與他人相處。

回答範例

Unfortunately, the developers ran into technical problems with the new reporting feature that was supposed to be the centerpiece of the release. In order to make the release date, they had to scale back and offer only limited functionality. We knew that some clients would be disappointed. It was my job to get everyone』s input on how to communicate it to customers — and I had to do it quickly because the decision was made right before the release date and we wanted to give customers the courtesy of a heads up. After a lot of back and forth with the engineers and the senior people in Product, Customer Service, and Marketing; I drafted the announcement to customers. I emphasized the positive aspects of the new functionality, explained the delay, and layed out the time line for the full functionality. I also had to work with the group to quickly put together talking points for our Client Account Managers and revise all of the training and Help documentation.

回答評析

這個回答做到了著重體現團隊合作、展示面試者在機構中如何與他人相處與合作。同時,回答當中也用了足夠的細節去描述面試者做了什麼以及為什麼他的做法讓人點贊。另外,能夠在高壓下順利開展工作、能夠靈活變通地與他人溝通以及能夠在緊張的最後期限前完成工作都包含在了回答之中。確保你已經強調了團隊合作這個要點。你與誰合作?為了讓良好的動態協作,你做了什麼?同時,設法提及一下自身的其他優勢。

R(Result)——在面試中,一個好的事例都是以大團圓結局為結尾的。所以,把解決問題的措施所達到的積極影響作為事例的結尾吧。

回答範例

I was able to get sign-off from all of the stakeholders within 24 hours — a minor miracle that required a lot of persistence. We were then able to communicate strategically and proactively to clients before the release went live. The release communications were positively received by clients. Though some were disappointed with the limited functionality, many more were pleased with the benefits of the feature in beta version and appreciated the timely and clear communications.

I received nice kudos from the senior managers in Technology and Customer Service — they told my boss that I was invaluable in keeping everybody focused on the customer experience and making the tight deadline. My manager was so happy with my performance that I was promoted to Manager level primarily as a result of my work on this project.

回答評析

任何以升職為結尾的事例都是棒棒噠。這些要點也說明了客戶的好評和資深隊友的讚賞。選一個有戲劇性結尾的事例,其實事例的結尾也不必是升職或者大筆獎金。但是,你最終想要表現的是重要成就。

STAR 法則可以應用在大部分的 Behavioral questions 上面,Follow 這個法則,絕大部分的問題你都能輕鬆應對!現在,你知道怎樣更好運用 STAR 法則了嗎?加油吧!
