Question

答：做任何工作我通常都能找到工作中低效的原因，我总是首先为改进而提出解决方法。最初的几个月，向上司提出改进意见时，他有点惊讶和紧张，最后，他接受了我有好主意这个事实，并且鼓励我把最好的构思详细地写进每个月的计划里，以便他能给我提供资料改进那些正规管理基础上的解决方案。我的首份任务就是改进我们其中一个制造厂的存货控制。因为已有的存货和记录数目不相符，于是我制定了一个全新的订购存货制度，并用其数据来追溯存货的来历。例如，什么时候用的、怎样用的，我的建议也做必要的调整。第一年，我把我们非得承担的存货总值降低了 23%。结果是，我的上司把我看成了一个常起带头作用的人。

描述一个你自愿去继续解决一个存在问题或避免一个潜在问题的项目。你是如何用你的见解主动地博取你上司的好感的？侧重在这个构思的创新性、你的途径以及你所取得的成效上。

Q:What would your last supervisor say about your initiative?

A:In any job I hold I can usually find inefficiencies in a process,and I always try to take some initiative to come up with a solution for improvement.My last supervisor was a little surprised and flustered the first few months when I was constantly coming to him with my ideas for improvements.He finally accepted the fact that I had some good ideas and encouraged me to write up in a proposal every month my one best idea so that he could get me the resources to tackle the solution on a formal basis.My first big project had to do with improving the inventory control in one of our manufacturing shops.Because the records for inventory receivable were inconsistent,I set up an entirely new inventoryorder system and used that data to trace the history of the inventory，for example,when it was used,how it was used,and my recommendations for necessary replacement.I reduced the total value of the inventory we had to carry by 23 percent the first year.As a result,my supervisor would always use me as an example of someone who's constantly taking the initiative.
