Question

答：在我做暑期实习生期间，我被派去对一主要公共设施的所有通讯费用基准进行调查研究。我必须取得属于几个不同部门的员工的一致意见。遗憾的是，因我是实习生，被拒绝合作。我不得不和每个员工单独会面，并说服他们，我现在所做的一切最终都是有益于他自己的部门及整个公司。经过一个月的努力，我终于说服了他们，计划得以圆满地实施，最后拿到了因努力而挣得的奖金。

这是个考查领导能力的问题，不过尽可能别用你被指定为领导者的例子。可能的话，描述你没有真正职权的一次经历，但你运用你的说服能力获得人们对你的支持。描绘你努力的目标和你的努力的结果。大家为什么会信任你？

Q:Give me proof of your persuasiveness.

A:During my summer internship I was assigned the task of conducting a benchmarking study for all the communicationexpenditures for a major utility.I had to get the consensus of employees in several different departments.Unfortunately,they resented the fact that I was just a summer intern,and they refused to cooperate. I had to schedule individual meetings with every employee and persuade each one that what I was doing would be ultimately beneficial to his or her own department and to the company.After a frustrating month I finally got everyone's cooperation,the project went flawlessly,and in the end I received a bonus for my efforts.
