每日一说109 | 公司那么多人，为什么只开除你？

Why were you fired？这个问题较为尖锐，一般理解为被迫离开上一个单位。在回答这个问题时要注意，首先不能把这个问题看成是一个承认错误的机会。也就是说，要表明“被开除错不在我”。但同时也要注意，不要指责以前的老板或是同事，这无疑会给面试官留下不好的印象，也会让面试官怀疑你所说的话的真实性。

Answer 1

The broad-based restructuring at my former company resulted in my position being eliminated. However, during my time there I was successful at my job as a department director. I worked very hard and got along well with my colleagues. Now I'm excited about having the opportunity to meet new challenges.

因为前公司大规模的组织重组，我的职位被取消了。但是在我任职期间，作为一个部门经理我很成功。我努力工作，与同事关系很好。现在我很期待有机会能迎接新挑战。

Answer 2

A new manager came in and cleaned house in order to bring in members of his old team. I outlasted several downsizings, but the last one included me. Sign of the times, I guess. It was the manager's right, but it cleared my head to envision better opportunities elsewhere. The opportunity we're discussing seems to be made for me, and I hope to eventually grow into a position of responsibility.

公司来了一个新的经理，为了把他以前的团队带进来，所以要裁员。我躲过了好几次裁员，但是没躲过最后一次。我猜，这也是一种时代的终结吧。新任经理有权力裁员，但是我也对未来的工作机会进行了展望。现在我们正在讨论的这个工作机会就像是为我量身定制的，我希望您能给我机会挑起这份责任。

Answer 3

Although circumstances caused me to leave my last job, I was very successful in school and got along well with both students and faculty. Perhaps I didn't fully understand my boss's expectations. I certainly don't know why he released me before I had a chance to prove myself. Being cut loose was a blessing in disguise, though. Now I have an opportunity to explore jobs that better suit my qualifications and interests.

虽然因为某些原因导致我离职，但是我读书时和老师同学相处得都还不错。也许是我没有充分理解老板的期待。我真的不知道为什么他在我还没有充分表现自己时就解雇了我。然而被解雇也不一定是坏事。现在我有机会寻找更符合我的专业和兴趣的工作。
