What's wrong with you anyway?
你有什么问题？
And what are your salary expectations?

The first question, tell me about yourself is probably the most important question
第一个问题，谈谈你自己，基本上是最重要的一个问题
And students and people sometimes misunderstand this
有些学生和一些应聘者对这个问题有误解
thinking that the person is asking, you know
他们觉得面试者问的是
where they go to school
他们在哪儿上学
where they grew up, how many siblings they have
在哪儿长大，兄弟姐妹几个
And really it's a question that is asking
其实人家想问的是
why should I hire you
我为什么要用你
what value are you going to add to our organization
你将会给我公司带来哪些价值
So it's an important question to have an answer to
所以要为这个问题准备好答案
that summarizes your experience, your strength, and your skills
要概括你的经历，优点，能力
that you can bring to this specific job position
针对你所应聘的这一岗位
It's ok to tell a little bit about your background and that you went to SPU, and what your major was
可以谈一点你的背景，比如你毕业于西雅图太平洋大学，所学专业等
but you wanna quickly go into again
但是要尽快将话题转到
what are the relevant skills, and background, and strength
你的相关技能，背景，优点方面
as they apply to the position for what you are interviewing for
这些都要针对你所应聘的职位来说
And that goes into
顺着这个思路
that translate also being able to answer the question
你所表达的内容也可以用来回答
why do you want to work here
你为什么想来这儿工作
The other thing to include in why do you want to work here
在回答你为什么想来这儿工作，这个问题时
is let the person know
还要让面试者了解到
that you've done your research
你对该公司提前做了了解
That you either talked to someone within the company you've done research online
或许你跟该公司某个职员做过交谈，或者你上网查过资料
you've read articles about the organization
读了一些关于该公司的文章
Let them know that
要让对方了解
you know what they do, and what they do well
你知道他们所从事的和所擅长的领域
So this is an opportunity to show you've done your homework
所以要利用这个机会，让对方知道你提前做了功课
What's wrong with you anyway?
你到底有什么问题？
This is often where you may be asked to state a weakness
一般问这个问题是想了解你的缺点
Well, obviously we all have weaknesses
当然每个人都有缺点
but there are nothing that we necessarily
但是我们并不一定要让雇主
wanna share with an employer
了解自己的缺点
But you need to be prepared to answer that question
但是这并不代表你不需要为这个问题做准备
And the way we recommend it is state a legitimate weakness
我们的建议是陈述一个合理的缺点
that you've actually worked on and turned into a strength
但其实你对这个缺点做过改善并把它转化成了优点
An example I like to use is
我喜欢举的一个例子是
a student who was very fearful of speaking in front of the public
有个学生非常害怕在公众目前发言
They took the time to take the class
他去参加了演讲课
they join Toast Masters where they actually went out
他加入了宴会主持人，并出去
and practice giving speeches, and through that, it worked
练习发表演讲，这样居然取得了成效
They were able to improve their confidence in public speaking
他提高了在公共场合演讲的自信心
and told the story of how they presented a class project
他讲述自己如何呈现这个项目
and the outcome was very positive
而且项目结果也非常乐观
and whatever kind of results that were possible
什么样的结果都有可能
if you wanna include in that story
如果你想包含上述故事
So again, you wanna state the legitimate weakness
所以，要讲述合理的缺点
and tell how you turn it into a neutral or even better yet, a strength
然后将其转化成一种中性的或者优点来讲述
