面霸：怎樣回答面試中不可預知問題

How would you respond if you were asked one of the following interview questions:

如果別人問你以下問題你該如何回答：

"If aliens landed here right now, what would you do?"

“如果此刻有外星人在此登陸，你會怎么做?”

"What did you want to be when you were 8 years old?"

“8歲的時候你想當什么?”

"What would your refrigerator say if it could talk?"

“如果你的冰箱可以說話，它會說什么?”

These types of odd questions are called "wild cards" because they seem to come out of nowhere. With the current economic climate allowing employers to be more picky

, these types of questions are becoming more common. A stellar resume, impressive credentials, and strong interviewing skills are no longer enough。

之所以稱這些古怪的問題為“外卡”，是因為看起來它們好像無章可循。如今的經濟形勢也讓雇主們越來越吹毛求疵，這些問題也更加普遍了。所以在面試中，僅僅有精美的簡歷，令人印象深刻的職業證書，以及精湛的面試技巧是遠遠不夠的。

While a rare interviewer may ask these questions simply to watch you squirm

, many wild-card questions serve a purpose. Generally speaking, interviewers ask these questions to see how well you perform under pressure and think on your feet. They also might ask wild cards to break out of the routine of a typical interview in order to get a glimpse of your genuine personality。

很少有面試官問這些問題僅僅是想讓你尷尬，但是很多不可預知的問題都是為了特定的目的才問的。通常來說，面試官會問你三個這樣的問題，來測試你在壓力下表現如何，以及你的突破性思維。面試官問你這些突破常規性面試的問題也可能是想看看你真實的本性。
