10 Things Recruiters Won’t Tell You (But I Will!)
招聘人員不會(huì)告訴你的十件事(但我會(huì)!)
Recruiters have one job:Find the right person for the position。
招聘人員的工作只有一樣:找到適合職位的人。
Their performance is evaluated on how efficiently and effectively they match top talent to job requirements. Ironically, in the current economy, recruiters are finding their jobs harder than ever。
他們的績(jī)效表現(xiàn)是由他們匹配符合工作要求的頂尖人才的效率和有效性來(lái)決定的。諷刺地是,在當(dāng)前的經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì)下,招聘人員發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的工作變得前所未有的困難。
I'm serious。
我是說(shuō)真的。
There's too much talent for them to weed through. What used to be "finding a needle in a haystack" has now become "finding a needle in ten haystacks。" As a result, recruiters have to determine a candidate's marketability much quicker。
有太多的人才需要他們篩選。過(guò)去是千挑萬(wàn)選,現(xiàn)在更是變的大海撈針。因此,招聘人員必須更迅速地判斷候選者的價(jià)值。
Translation: Candidates must pay even more attention to the power of the first impression factor。
換句話(huà)說(shuō):候選者必須更加重視第一印象的重要性。
People skills, attire, etc. all become more important when competition amongst talent is this fierce. Reality check: Those who are failing to make a good first impression get put in the "no" pile and are never contacted again。
當(dāng)應(yīng)聘者之間的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)是如此激烈時(shí),人際交往能力、著裝等都變得更加重要。事實(shí)證明:那些沒(méi)能給人留下良好的第一印象的應(yīng)聘者都會(huì)被拒絕并且再也不會(huì)得到聯(lián)系。
Now, most recruiters won't tell you what you did wrong。
現(xiàn)在,大部分的招聘人員都不會(huì)告訴你你做錯(cuò)了什么。
Why?
為什么會(huì)這樣?
For one reason, they aren't paid to give you the bad news. Second, they don't want to burn a bridge. And third, as I mentioned, they just don't have the time。
第一個(gè)原因是,通知你壞消息并不是他們的職責(zé)所在;第二個(gè)原因是,他們不想和你結(jié)下梁子;第三個(gè)原因,也是我上面提到的,他們僅僅是沒(méi)時(shí)間。
And yet, how are you going to fix the problem if you don't know it exists?
然而,你又該如何解決一個(gè)根本不知道存不存在的問(wèn)題呢?
I've put together the most common reasons why a recruiter writes a candidate off. You may not like what you read, but the good news is with a little attention and practice, all of them can be improved upon. So, ask yourself, "Am I guilty of the following?"
我收集了大部分招聘人員拒絕應(yīng)聘者的共同理由。你或許并不喜歡你將看到的,但好消息是,稍加重視和練習(xí),其中的大部分都可以得到改善。所以,問(wèn)問(wèn)你自己:“我是否犯了下面這些錯(cuò)呢?”

Well, given 93% of communication is non-verbal, I can tell you that many of the negatives above can be improved by focusing on one thing: attitude。
實(shí)際上,要知道93%的交流都是非語(yǔ)言的,我能告訴你的是,你只需專(zhuān)注一件事,就能提高上述的許多缺點(diǎn),那就是態(tài)度。
If you are angry, fearful, or confused, it's going to show. You must find a way to feel good about yourself and your ability to contribute. This comes from knowing your strengths and embracing them. It also comes from doing your homework on a company so you can articulate clearly and with enthusiasm why you would be a great fit for the job. I realize this is easier said than done, but it can be done。
你的憤怒,害怕,或者困惑都會(huì)表現(xiàn)出來(lái)。你必須找到自我鼓勵(lì)以及增強(qiáng)自身能力的方法。你需要發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的長(zhǎng)處并欣然接受。并且,你得充分了解你所應(yīng)聘的公司,用清晰的表達(dá)和極大的熱忱來(lái)說(shuō)明你是絕佳的人選。我知道這些事說(shuō)著容易做著難,但是是能夠做到的。
