There are a lot of reasons, many opportunities, so much information or very good. When American listen to it, they always have a question in their minds "how many? how good? what information? what opportunities? Please tell me more specific details" <=We always fear that listeners judge us while listening to us, but it is not true at all. They don't want to listen to us just because we always say "general" stuffs. We should say something more specific. For example, when Human Resource asks if he/she should hire you. Probably majority of Chinese immigrants would say that we are smart, we always work hard and are willing to learn new things from work; thereafter, your eyes look at Human Resource and your ear listens to next questions.
We should respond
"I am a smart person. For example, when I work as a sales person for a beverage company, I did market research on Queens county and Manhattan county in order to analyze the market situation. At the end, I realized that buying three cases to getting one case free was the best case our company can maximize profits. I used this bottom line to negotiate with vendors and eventually I had opened 42 accounts in two weeks. Hence, I think that I am a smart person".
American wanna know that you have experience of what you say instead of general stuffs. Human Resource don't want to know that you are a human being. They want to know you are a knowledgeable employee and be ready to work for them.
So, please remember saying specific details to your Human Resource or Vice President if you are successfully moving to second round or third round.
