Question

答：我在墨西哥度假时曾见过一个女人使用一块自制的跷跷板，当她要把篮子里的衣服拿出来洗时，她就用这块跷跷板把篮子提起来。这使我想出一个制造新型支架的主意。上班后，我把支架设计出来了，现在我们的彻砖工人都配有一个及腰的旋转工作台来运送材料，这样就可以减轻背部疲劳。

面试官想知道你是否有综合处理信息和把你所见到的应用到工作上的能力。要表现出你对该工作有天生的兴趣，而非不得已而为之。你能否能突破陈规而得出新的办法呢？一定要举些具体的例子。

Q:Tell me about a time you were in a recreational setting and got an idea that helped in your work.

A:I was on vacation in Mexico and saw a woman with a homemade seesaw she was using to lift her laundry basket when she needed something out of it. It gave me an idea for a new type of scaffolding, which I designed when I got back to work. Now our brick masons have a rotating bench that keeps their materials at waist level, which reduces back fatigue.
