1
What is the right way to answer walk me through your resume?
2
We coach people through fit interviews, otherwise known as behavioral interviews,
3
all the time when they're focused on top positions at companies like Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey, and Deloitte.
4
And as we work through a lot of these kinds of questions, it's super interesting and super helpful for people to recognize
5
that there are patterns that you can follow to be equally successful in these top interviews
6
and any other job interview that you walk into.
7
So the right way to answer walk me through your resume is based in a little bit of psychology.
8
Let me unpack it for you.
9
The first thing that's important for you to know is that it needs to happen within two minutes.
10
So the story that you're telling needs to have a self-imposed deadline on it.
11
When somebody gives you the floor and says walk me through your resume, one of the things that they're looking for is how long does it take you naturally to walk through your own resume.
12
So walk me through your resume needs to fit within two minutes.
13
That's one of the right ways to answer it.
14
The second thing that's important is it needs to have a storytelling structure.
15
Walk me through your resume when I give you the opportunity to walk through it.
16
Some people very literally take their resume and walk through their resume and they go down line by line, like a checklist.
17
But what I'm really looking for is somebody who actually does the opposite.
18
They say, here's my resume.
19
Let me tell you the story of my resume.
20
And they move my eyes and my attention away from the document and onto them.
21
That's how you are successful with Walk Me Through Your Resume.
22
Let me walk you through a story arc for Walk Me Through Your Resume.
23
That's a really successful way to tell this story.
24
And before I do that, let me just explain why this is successful.
25
This story arc doesn't just answer the question, Walk Me Through Your Resume, but it also answers the question, tell me about yourself or give me a little bit of an introduction into your background.
26
It gives an overall story look at who you are, whether they ask you to explicitly walk through your resume or another version of that question.
27
So here's the story arc.
28
It's five to six steps depending on where you are in your career.
29
Step number one is personal roots.
30
For those of you that listened to the episode on the elevator pitch, personal roots are also the first place that you start in the elevator pitch.
31
And you usually start with something that's specific more to your family or your upbringing than to the country, for example, where you grew up.
32
The second piece is education, where you explain why you got the degree that you did
33
and why you went to the university that you did for undergrad.
34
Then you walk through your leadership experience when you were in undergrad, one or two of those.
35
Your work experiences, one or two of those.
36
a second education if you're completing it now, and then finally, what's next.
37
So the pieces that are the same as the elevator pitch are the personal roots and the what's next, the first and last pieces,
38
and you're just expanding in the middle by explaining two sentences for every other experience, both the what, what you did,
39
and the why, why you took the role, or why it was important, or why it focused you on some kind of learning for your career.
40
So here are some modifications that you might need to make to that structure.
41
If you're doing a first degree only, the structure that I explained made sense.
42
Talk about education, talk about leadership, talk about experience.
43
But if you're doing a second degree or if you're an experienced higher not even doing a degree at all, you might want to modify the order that you do those middle pieces.
44
So for example, it might make sense to talk about education
45
and then about work experience and then to talk about community involvement afterwards.
46
Or if you're doing your second education degree, it might make sense to talk about education for your undergrad, then work experience, then your second education,
47
then leadership, and then what's next.
48
So the middle pieces are going to be modified in terms of the order
49
that you use based on where you are in your career.
50
However, the story arc overall stays the same.
51
Five to six pieces, two sentences for each, both what and why, beginning with personal roots and ending with what's next.
52
If you can complete your story within two minutes, that's perfect.
53
If it's too much shorter than that, it will feel like you have inauthentic or incomplete experiences.
54
If it's too much longer than that, it will feel as though your storytelling process is not at the executive level that your interviewer expects.
55
So my final exhortation to you is after building, rebuilding, reconstructing, and practicing your story, you make sure that it fits within the time limit
56
and you practice it about 10 times before walking into the interview
57
so that you can really focus on connection with the interviewer, enthusiastic storytelling, and great delivery.

本节课学习要点
通过本节课,你将学习如何用英文清晰、有结构地介绍自己的简历,掌握面试中"Walk Me Through Your Resume"这类问题的回答技巧。同时,你还能通过视频练习"shadow speak"(影子跟读),提升英语发音和口语流畅度,为雅思口语练习或职场面试做好准备。
核心词汇与表达
- behavioral interview:行为面试
- storytelling structure:叙事结构
- personal roots:个人背景(指家庭或成长经历)
- leadership experience: leadership experience
- what's next:未来规划
练习技巧
看视频学英语时,可采用"shadow speech"法:先完整听一遍视频内容,注意说话人的语速和语调。视频中讲解部分语速适中,适合跟读。第二遍播放时,每句话滞后1-2秒开始跟读,模仿发音和节奏,尤其注意"two minutes"、"story arc"等短语的重音。
练习时,可将简历介绍的结构拆解为"个人背景-教育经历-工作经验-未来规划",用简单句串联。例如,描述教育经历时,尝试说清"why you got the degree"(为何选择该专业)。通过反复跟读,不仅能提高英语发音,还能熟练掌握面试话术的逻辑。
若觉得语速过快,可暂停视频,逐句模仿。坚持练习,你会发现自己在雅思口语练习或职场面试中,能更自信地用英文讲述简历故事。
什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
