We're going to talk about my top five questions to ask in a job interview.

我們要談談我在求職面試中要問的五大問題。

We know what the problem is.

我們知道問題出在哪裡。

It's difficult to come up with great questions to ask in a job interview to make sure you're getting the information you need to make a good career decision but also sell yourself in the process.

在求職面試中很難提出很好的問題，以確保你獲得做出良好職業決策所需的信息，同時還能在過程中推銷自己。

I get it. It's difficult.

我懂，這很困難。

You don't job interview very often.

你沒有那麼長去工作面試。

You're not a trained interrogator likely.

你可能不是一個訓練有素的審訊者。

So, I'm going to give you my five home runs.

所以，我要給你我的五個打出全壘打的方法。

I'm going to tell you what to ask, I'm going to tell you why it's a great question, and how to use the information.

我要告訴你該怎麼問，我要告訴你為什麼這是一個很好的問題，並且如何使用這些資訊。

You can check that out.

你可以去看看。

You can get that toward the end.

你可以在影片最後看到。

But let's roll.

但我們開始影片吧。

Number one.

第一。

This is a question about the company itself.

這是一個關於公司本身的問題。

You need to know whether it's a good company.

你需要知道它是否是一家好公司。

I love starting at the top and working your way down.

我喜歡從頭開始，然後一路往下問。

So, question number one is, "Based on the direction of the company, what do you think will be your greatest accomplishments in the next three years?"

所以，問題一是：「根據公司的發展方向，你認為未來三年最大的成就會是什麼？」

I want to pause because I know a lot of you follow me regularly and you know I hate "Where do you see yourself in five years" and all that futuristic stuff.

我想暫停一下，因為我知道你們很多經常關注我的人知道我討厭「五年後你會有什麼成就」以及所有那些未來主義的問題。

But when you're talking about an organization, an organization needs to be able to think at least three to five years into the future.

但是，當你在談論一間公司時，這間公司需要能夠思考至少三到五年內的未來。

But you don't only want to join organizations that think about the future.

但你並不是只想加入那些考慮未來的公司。

Thinking is really nice, but companies that really act and build things and have clarity around specifically what they're going to do are worthy of you.

思考確實很好，但那些真正付諸行動、創造事物、明確自己要做什麼的公司才值得擁有你。

They're even better.

甚至更好。

So, it's a great question because it helps you understand whether they have a vision and if they have clarity around specifically what they want to build.

所以，這是一個很好的問題，因為它可以幫助你了解他們是否有願景，以及他們是否明確他們想要建立的具體內容。

If there is not that clarity, they're basically saying to you, "I don't know if you'll have a job in three years if I don't know where the company's going."

如果沒有那麼明確，他們基本上是在對你說：「如果我不知道公司的發展方向，我不知道三年後你是否還有工作。」

So, you want to make sure that you ask that.

所以，記得問這個問題。

That's a great question to ask early on in the process.

這是可以在面試過程的前期提出的一個很好的問題。

Questions two, three, and four are about you and your role.

問題二、三、四是關於你和你的角色。

So, question number two is a wonderful, wonderful setup question as you start to get into questions related to your role.

因此，當你開始提出與你的角色相關的問題時，第二個問題是一個非常非常好的設定問題。

I like to ask the employer, "What are the most successful qualities of people that are most successful in this position?"

我喜歡問雇主：“在這個職位上最成功的人最成功的品質是什麼？」

So, you're really looking for, "What kind of traits is the employer looking for?"

所以，你真正想問的是「雇主在尋找什麼樣的特質？」

The reason that that's a great question to ask is, not only will it give you some specifics about the qualities that they're looking for,

這是一個很好的問題，因為它不僅能讓你了解他們正在尋找的品質的一些細節，

but you also can use that information immediately, whether right in that interview or in your subsequent interviews to really, really accentuate how what you've done in your experience and in your work history matches the qualities that they're looking for.

但你也可以立即使用這些信息，無論是在面試中還是在隨後的面試中，真正強調你在經驗和工作經歷中所做的事情如何與他們正在尋找的品質相匹配。

And I think that that's a great setup question.

我認為這是一個很好的設置問題。

You can accelerate it even more with question number three, which is my absolute favorite question to ask in any job interview.

你可以用第三個問題來加速它，這是我在任何工作面試中最喜歡問的問題。

But question number three is, "If you were to give me an offer and I was to accept it, a year from now, what will I have done specifically that you would consider this hire a raging success or hugely successful?"

但第三個問題是：「如果你給我一份工作邀請，而我接受了它，一年後，我會具體做什麼，你會認為這次聘用是一次巨大的成功或巨大的成功？」

The reason that that's such a great question is it gets the interviewer to give you specifics about expectations, what they would consider successful.

這是一個很好的問題，因為它可以讓面試官向你提供有關期望的具體信息，以及他們認為什麼是成功的。

It gives you that clarity to make sure that you could actually achieve those objectives.

它讓你清楚地確保你能夠真正實現這些目標。

But what it really does is it gives you ammunition that you can use within that interview or subsequent interviews to talk exactly how you will accomplish what they consider a success.

但它真正的作用是為你提供資訊，你可以在面試或後續面試中使用這些資訊來準確地談論你將如何實現他們認為成功的目標。

Now you know what the end goal is for them in a year.

現在你知道一年後他們的最終目標是什麼了吧。

All you need to do is tailor your stories to show how you would actually accomplish those specifics.

你需要做的就是自訂你的故事，以展示你將如何實際完成這些細節。

I guarantee you will be way ahead of the game when you combine the answers from question number two and question number three as you tell your stories.

我保證，當你在講述故事時結合第二個問題和第三個問題的答案時，你將遙遙領先。

So, that's really a great one.

所以，這真的是一個很棒的問題。

Question number four is a little safety net for yourself.

問題四是給自己留一點後路。

You want to make sure that you're uncovering information that you might not have uncovered with the questions that you've designed.

你要確保你發現了你設計的問題可能無法發現的資訊。

So, question number four that I like to ask is, "If you were to give me an offer and I was to accept it, within one week of starting this job, what will be the biggest surprise, or what will be the first thing that surprises me?"

所以，我想問的第四個問題是，「如果你給我一份工作邀請並且我接受了它，那麼在開始這份工作的一周內，最大的驚喜是什麼，或者說第一件事是什麼？」

The reason this is great and the reason why you want to ask it is because it serves as a little safety net.

這是很棒的問題，你之所以想問它，是因為它起到了一個小小的安全網的作用。

It helps get the interviewer thinking about, "Hmm. What might this person not ask in the job interview?" Or "What surprised me when I first started with the company?"

它有助於讓面試官思考：「嗯。這個人在求職面試中可能不會問什麼？」或「當我第一次加入這家公司時，什麼讓我感到驚訝？」

It's really great.

這真的很不錯。

It puts the interviewer on the spot.

這讓面試官眼前一亮。

Naturally, their inclination is to try to provide you a negative surprise.

自然，他們的傾向是試圖為你提供一個負面的驚喜。

Rarely will most of them provide a positive surprise.

他們大多數很少會帶來正面的驚喜。

It's usually a negative surprise just because that's the way we think.

這通常是一個負面的驚喜，因為這就是我們的想法。

So, it's really a nice little safety net for you.

所以，這對你來說真的是一個不錯的小安全網。

So, that's question number four.

所以，這是第四個問題。

Then question number five, you've got to get some questions in there about your boss and your boss' management style.

然後是第五個問題，你必須問一些關於你的老闆和你老闆的管理風格的問題。

Four out of five people quit their job because of their boss.

每五個人中就有四個人會因為老闆而辭職。

You need to make sure that you understand your boss' management style.

你需要確保你瞭解你的老闆的管理風格。

So, question number five is, when you have an opportunity to talk to the hiring official, your boss, whoever you're going to be reporting to, or even if it's a higher-up, is,

所以，第五個問題是，當你有機會與招募人員、你的老闆交談時，無論你要向誰報告，甚至是上級，

"What's your management style and what are your expectations of the position that you might not have already mentioned?"

「你的管理風格是什麼？你對這個你可能沒有提到的職位的期望是什麼？」

You might have already asked question number three, which was, "What are the expectations? What would you consider to be successful?"

你可能已經問過第三個問題，即「你期望什麼？你認為什麼是成功的？」

But you want to see if there's any specifics that the boss talks about in what he or she is expecting, what they consider to be successful, what their style is, whether it's hands on or hands off, or all that good stuff.

但你想看看老闆是否談論了他或她的期望、他們認為什麼是成功、他們的風格是什麼、是親力親為還是不親力親為，或者所有這些好東西。

So, you want to make sure that you are in sync with that kind of boss and his or her style.

所以，你要確保自己與那種老闆和他或她的風格。

So, those are my five faves.

所以，這是五個我最愛的問題。

So, number one, "What do you think the company's greatest accomplishments will be within the next three years?"

所以，第一：「你認為公司未來三年最大的成就是什麼？」

Number two, "What are the best qualities of the people that are most successful in this role?"

第二：「在這個職位上最成功的人的最佳品質是什麼？」

Number three, "If I accept this role, within one year, what will I have accomplished that you think you will consider this a raging success?"

第三：「如果我接受這個角色，一年之內，我會取得什麼成就，讓你認為這是一個巨大的成功？」

Number four, "If I take this job, what will be my biggest surprise within one week?"

第四：「如果我接受這份工作，一週內我會遇到的最大的驚喜是什麼？」

And number five, "What is your management style?"

第五：「你的管理風格是什麼？」
