how did you handle them?
你遇到過最大的問題為何?你是如何處理的?
工作上不可能一帆風順,一定會有難題產生。針對這個問題,可精簡描述之前遇過的問題,但重要的是要提到當時處理的方式與因應的態度。
Once when I was in charge of arranging a seminar, I made wrong decisions and made some of our important attendees unhappy. I should've consulted with other colleagues for advice in order to prevent those mistakes from happening.有一次我負責安排一場研討會,我做出了錯誤的決定,使得一些重要的與會者感到不悅。 我當時應該先跟其他同事討論詢求意見,以預防那些錯誤發生。
When I was working at Best-Systems, once I was responsible for an important Partner event and needed to divide approximately 100 CEO attendees into groups. I was aware of the“sensitive relationships”between these CEOs, so I arranged some CEOs to be seated in different groups. However, some colleagues suggested that the Partner event should be a good opportunity for people to mingle so even competitor CEOs should sit together. As the Partner event approached, I didn't insist on keeping some competitor partners apart on different tables. Then on the day of the event, I heard some complaints about seating arrangements and saw some unhappy faces. I learned my lesson from this experience, and knew I should be more careful when dealing with sensitive business arrangements in the future. More importantly, I learned that I needed to communicate with others more thoroughly in order to do the right thing.當我在 Best-Systems 公司工作時,有次我負責一個重要的「夥伴」活動,須將大約一百位參加活動的執行長分組。我非常了解這些執行長之間的「微妙關係」,因此將一些執行長安排坐在不同小組。但是有些同事建議說,此「夥伴」活動是個讓執行長們互相交流的好時機,所以即便是競爭對手們也應該同坐。當時因為活動日逼近,我就沒有堅持將競爭對手分開坐。活動當日我聽到一些對於座位安排的抱怨,也看到一些不悅的臉孔。我從這次經驗中學到了教訓,了解今後在處理敏感的商務事宜時應更加謹慎。更重要的是,我學到若要把事情做對,我必須和他人做更完善的溝通。
- I should be more [adjective] when dealing with [something].
