The meaning behind the question:

問題背后的意義：

Teamwork is essential in almost any work environment. Questioning your ability to work in a team is therefore one of an interviewer’s favourites. They’ll be looking for evidence of a number of core abilities:

團(tuán)隊(duì)合作在任何工作環(huán)境中都是至關(guān)重要的。因此考察你的團(tuán)隊(duì)合作能力是面試官們的最愛。他們會(huì)考察你是否具有以下幾個(gè)關(guān)鍵能力：

• The ability to communicate effectively with others

• 和別人有效溝通的能力

• The ability to recognise and understand the viewpoints of others

• 識(shí)別和理解他人觀點(diǎn)的能力

• The ability to appreciate the contribution you are expected to make

• 樂于接受交代任務(wù)的能力

你的回答：

This is a very important and very popular question which could be phrased in many different ways. As well as pre-preparing your answer to, “Are you a team player”， you should also draft answers to all the alternative questions I’ve listed above. There will be common ground between your answers but each will have a slightly different slant to it。

這是一個(gè)非常重要的問題，經(jīng)常會(huì)被問到，提問的方式也有很多種。你不僅要事先想好“你善于團(tuán)隊(duì)合作嗎”這個(gè)問題的答案，上面列出的其他相關(guān)問題也要事先準(zhǔn)備。這些問題的答案具有共同點(diǎn)，但是每一個(gè)都要有不同的側(cè)重點(diǎn)。

You could answer the question in the context of your current job but you’d be better off approaching it from the angle of the job for which you are applying. They’re asking you in what ways you are a team player but you need to be asking yourself in what ways will they want you to be a team player. Are they looking for a leader? Are they looking for someone who brings out the best in others? Are they looking for the person who generates the ideas or the person who is a dab hand at putting new ideas into practice?

你可以從現(xiàn)在的工作切入來回答這個(gè)問題，但是最好從你申請(qǐng)的工作這個(gè)角度入手。他們也許問的是你如何說明自己善于團(tuán)隊(duì)合作，但是你要問自己的是他們希望你成為怎樣的團(tuán)隊(duì)合作者。他們找的是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)嗎?或者他們找的是能在團(tuán)隊(duì)中帶動(dòng)別人的人?他們是要找出點(diǎn)子的人，還是要找能將想法付諸實(shí)現(xiàn)的能手?

Establish in your own mind what sort of a team player they want you to be and then deliver an answer which caters to that image。

在心中想好他們要找的是那種團(tuán)隊(duì)合作者，再據(jù)此做出相應(yīng)回答。

Example:

例子：

I certainly very much enjoy working with others; I’m outgoing, I enjoy the team spirit and I’m understanding of the needs of others. I’m good at helping the team to see the bigger picture – to see the wood from the trees – helping them to focus on what really matters rather than getting bogged down in irrelevant detail. I’m also good at helping the team to spot flaws in our approach – and potential problems and pitfalls. I believe I have strong communication skills and, while I don’t yet have experience in a leadership role, I do have a talent for liaising between different team members and resolving any disputes which may arise. Conflict between different team members is rarely very productive and is normally best avoided。

我當(dāng)然非常享受和別人合作的過程。我性格外向，欣賞團(tuán)隊(duì)精神，我也了解他人想要什么。我擅長(zhǎng)幫助整個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)掌握大局——從樹木中看到森林——幫助他們專注于最重要的事而不是糾結(jié)于不相關(guān)的小細(xì)節(jié)。我還很擅長(zhǎng)幫助團(tuán)隊(duì)找到工作中的不足之處，發(fā)現(xiàn)潛在的問題，避免陷阱。我的溝通能力很強(qiáng)，雖然我沒有在團(tuán)隊(duì)中擔(dān)當(dāng)過領(lǐng)導(dǎo)角色，但是我善于聯(lián)絡(luò)不同的團(tuán)隊(duì)成員，解決糾紛，因此團(tuán)隊(duì)成員發(fā)生的沖突很少會(huì)惡化并且能很好地解決。
