在美国找工作遇Behavior Interview Question：Do you like and why

确定适合自己的理想工作环境

如果这是你申请的第一份实习工作或入门级职位，你可能还不太清楚自己的理想工作环境是什么样的。即使没有足够的工作经验也没关系，回想一下你在课堂项目上的一些不错的经历。你更喜欢在大型企业任职还是在小型公司工作？你在沟通上更偏好当面的头脑风暴还是有足够思考时间的电子邮件？你的职业动机是什么？你希望自己的职业生涯是什么样的？确定了自己的工作风格后，就要发散思维，考虑全局了。这里的“全局”指的是公司的使命或工作&生活平衡度。

研究公司文化

文化契合度是面试官在招聘时最看重的一项考察内容。当然，这也是一个很好的可以展示自己足够了解公司，可以快速融入团队的机会。职位描述，公司网站，YouTube视频，熟人唠嗑……收集关于公司文化、办公环境的一切信息，并告诉面试官你申请这个职位的部分原因，是它非常符合你所偏爱的工作环境。

例如，公司是否有很多增强凝聚力的团队会议？如果是，谈谈自己有多喜欢这类活动，以及在过去类似环境中的相关经历。

如果工作环境看起来很轻松，公司给员工很大的自由度来独立完成任务，那就适当表达自己喜欢独立，很擅长自己做决定，有良好的时间规划能力。

如果工作描述中一遍又一遍地重复，他们想要一个注重细节的人，那么就说自己更喜欢在一个有组织的、系统化的环境中工作。

如果你对该公司的文化了解甚少，那么提到自己善于在快节奏和协作环境中工作是一个很好的开始。这是面试官们普遍欣赏的特点。大多数工作本质上都是合作性的。并且很多公司，尤其是较小的公司，都认为自己是快节奏的。

• （快节奏）I can be flexible when it comes to my work environment. From your website, it looks like the environment in the engineering department here at RRS, Inc., is fast-paced and structured to expand production. I enjoy working in an area experiencing rapid growth and I think this kind of environment is conducive to new ideas and applications.
• （协作）I have worked in many types of environments and enjoyed learning new things from each. I would say that while I don’t prefer a particular environment, I really like working with people who are committed to getting things done and who are passionate about their work.
• （协作）I enjoy working in an environment where the members of the team have a strong sense of camaraderie and a good work ethic. I like working with competent, kind, funny people who like to get things done. It’s important to me to feel that I can trust my team members to always do their best because I do.

或者，也可以表示自己非常灵活，适应力极强。

• （灵活）I do well in a few different types of environments. I can adapt. In my last job we were given a lot of freedom to make decisions on our own, and I enjoyed that. But I’ve also worked in stricter environments and performed well and had no issues. How would you describe the work environment here, and what type of person usually enjoys working for you?
• （灵活）Having worked in a variety of work environments, from very casual and laid-back to fast-paced, I think I adapt well to most. I’m not familiar with what the corporate environment is here; can you tell me about it?

（题外话：用一个问题来结束自己的回答是一个很好的方法，可以把面试变成一个更自然的对话，减轻压力，让面试官更喜欢你。)

谈论你喜欢什么，而不是反感什么

“I enjoy a collaborative environment.”“I really like an environment that values problem solving, creativity, and effort because I feel I bring those three things to my job each day.”保持积极心态，重点描述自己喜欢的环境。这样，即使你欣赏的环境与面试官对他们公司的看法不太一致，也没有关系。

但是，如果你说，“I can only work in a highly-collaborative environment and I hate work that involves being isolated or not talking to other people.”感觉就非常不同了，尽量避免谈论消极的观点。

“灵活”的诚实着

说谎的匹诺曹鼻子会变长，说谎的求职者拿不到offer。尝试着让自己“灵活”的诚实着。例如，虽然你是一个喜欢大部分时间独自工作的人，但在介绍中，你也可以适当表现出对团队的责任，定期与同事合作的意愿等。

“I love a fast-paced environment where I can have a collaborative relationship with the people around me and develop my skill set by learning from other members of the team. Although I do my best work on my own in a quiet atmosphere, I really enjoy grabbing coffee with team members in my spare time and running through ideas together.”
