今天面试官指出了我一个问题,即我在回答问题的时候习惯去解释,扯一大堆。而面试官期望的是我明确精炼的回答。
我其实知道我一直有一个这样的毛病,这个大概要追溯到我高中养成的一个不太好的习惯。
它的底层其实反应了两点,第一,不够自信;第二,讨好型人格。
这两点很好解释,因为不够自信,怕我的逻辑有缺陷,所以通过解释来完整我的逻辑。
因为怕别人听不懂,所以愿意非常详细的讲解所有的细节点,而这就是典型的讨好型性格,怕别人误会。
那么,应该做到怎么样呢?
只做总结性描述,不做解释。
如果对方需要解释,再解释。
Today,the interviewer pointed out a weakness in my communication:I tend to over-explain my thoughts,often going into unnecessary detail。What they were really looking for were clear and concise answers。
This is actually a habit I’ve been aware of for a long time,likely developed during my high school years。
At its core,this behavior reflects two things about me:a lack of confidence,and a people-pleasing personality。
It’s easy to example this。Because I’m not confident enough,I worry that my logic might be flawed —— so I try to explain everything thoroughly to cover all the bases。
And because I’m afraid of being misunderstood,I tend to over-elaborate,which is a typical trait of someone who wants to please others。
So,what’s the right approach?
I should focus on giving only summary-level answers,without diving into explanations unless they’re specifically requested。
