39问：让我听一下你勤奋或有恒心的实例。
答：上次在我们系统安装的过程中，顾客改变了要求。在新的花费由顾客负责的条件下，
我的同事同意了顾客的要求，决定按时完成工作。虽然知道这份工作要3个月时间才能完成，但我们每周花70～80个小时，最后我们完成了。描述你自己的职业个性，包括有毅力、勤奋刻苦和有责任感。说明你如何收集资料、运用时间管理技巧或有超前意识。举出具体例子。
Q: Share an example of your diligence or perseverance.
A: About halfway through our last system installation, the client changed her requirements. Our partner agreed that, at the new costs the client would incur, we could still meet the original completion date. It took about seventy to eighty hours a week for us to get the job done, but we did it, knowing that it would be over within three months.
40问：描述你解决棘手的问题或是谁都不愿意接受的任务的情况。
答：我必须决定在我的部门里要取消哪项开支才可以使花费降低大概5%。我尽可能地保持客观。最后结果是通过减少每个科组领导的旅游开支，让他们负担所要减少的经费的25%，这是我们销售分部的一大笔经费。在可能的时候减少出差，并通过买打折机票而实现大部分的节约。描述你曾愿意甚至是自愿去解决的一个曾被尝试但未能解决的问题。或者描述你完成的即使在短期内不甚受欢迎，可对公司的长远利益有重要作用的事情。例如，你的回答或许应包括对待一个难对付的员工或改进工序计划。
Q: Describe a time when you tackled a tough or unpopular assignment.
A: I had to determine which budgets would be cut within my division to yield an overall 5 percent cost reduction. I tried to remain objective and keep the personalities of department heads out of the decision. Ultimately, I ended up getting each department head to commit to a 25 percent reduction through frugal travel expense planning, which was an enormous part of our sales divisions costs. We accomplished most of the savings by combining trips and by securing two week advance airline reservations whenever possible.
