面试拿offer:为什么要干这行?
问题1:You majored in philosophy. How did that prepare you for this career?
回答:Philosophy didn't prepare me for a career in architecture at all. But it did force me to become philosophical about my prospects. I happened to take a course about architecture history, and totally was attracted by this field. I firmly believe that only if I am totally interested in a field can I make achievement in that field. I've never looked back ,this is definitely the career that I was meant to be in.
哲学对我从事建筑行业来说,并没有帮助,但是却让我不得不从哲学角度来思考我的前景。我有一次参加了一个关于建筑史的一门课程,并且完全被这个领域深深吸引了。我坚信只有全心喜欢一个领域才能在这个领域内做出佳绩。我从来也没有后悔过,这就是我想要的行业。
【语音点评】
哲学貌似和建筑一点关系都没有,但是可以用哲学来思考人生和自己的个人选择,然后说参加了一个课程了解了,从哲学上理解了必须全力投入一个领域才能有所回报和发展。
