求职面试中千万不要说这5句话
在激烈的就业竞争中,过五关斩六将才能进入面试环节,眼看梦想的职位近在咫尺,谁也不想在最后一刻被淘汰掉。在面试中要格外谨言慎行,不该说的话千万不要说。
1. ARE THERE FLEXIBLE WORKING HOURS?
工作时间灵活吗?
Wait to receive an offer before asking about the hours, says Steven Rothberg, president and founder of College Recruiter. At that point in the process, you gain a bit of power over the employer, and can ask about day-to-day specifics without appearing lazy. The soft benefits—including working hours, paid time off, and remote working arrangements—can be negotiated along with your salary if they are important to you.
招聘资讯类机构“校园招聘官(College Recruiter)”的主席和创始人斯蒂芬·罗斯伯格说,等收到工作邀约后再问工作时间的事情。被录用以后,你才有一点主动权可以向雇主询问日常细节,而不会显得懒惰。如果工作时间、带薪休假、远程工作安排等软福利对你来说很重要的话,你可以在洽谈薪水的时候一起谈。
2. TELL ME ABOUT THE POSITION.
请给我介绍一下这个职位。
Most interviewers will meet with you about a specific role. You should already understand what it is, and you should sell yourself for that position, says Jill MacFadyen, a Georgia-based career coach. “It wouldn’t sound good to ask about the role unless it was a call out of the blue, and you did need to know about it,” MacFadyen says. Expert Interview Coach founder Barry Drexler adds that asking for the job description makes you look uNPRepared and like you're not taking the opportunity seriously.
大多数面试官都是为了某个职位来面试你。美国乔治亚州的职场导师吉尔·麦克法登说,你早就应该了解这个职位,而且应该为了这个职位推销自己。麦克法登说:“除非是突如其来的面试,否则询问这个职位都不是明智之举,而且你确实需要了解这个职位。”面试指导机构“专家面试导师”(Expert Interview Coach)的创始人巴里·德雷克斯勒补充道,要求面试官描述这个职位会让人觉得你没做好准备,不把这次机会当回事。
out of the blue: 突然地;意外地
3. I PLAN ON GETTING MY MASTER'S DEGREE.
我计划攻读硕士学位。
If asked where you see yourself in five years, you need to give an answer that fits the career path for the role. So if you're interviewing for a marketing role, don’t say that you see yourself in a sales position, says Drexler. It's also unwise to tell the recruiter you plan to go back to school (unless you're 100 percent sure doing so would be encouraged by the company). Do so, and you risk appearing less than fully committed.
如果面试官问你五年之内的计划,你的答案必须符合这一职位的职业发展路径。德雷克斯勒说,因此如果你面试的是市场营销的职位,不要说你未来五年的计划是做销售。告诉面试官你计划回学校进修也是不明智的(除非你百分百肯定公司鼓励你这么做)。如果你这么说,将可能让人感觉你不够投入。
4. HOW LONG IS THIS INTERVIEW?
面试的时间有多长?
You need to be present and in the moment, says Vicki Salemi, a career expert based in New York. "Once, I had a candidate who was talking on the cell phone," Salemi says. "He held up his pointer finger to tell me to give him a second. What could be more important at that moment than the interview?" You need to show that this is the highlight of your day.
纽约的就业指导专家维姬·萨莱米说,你需要的是处在当下,把握眼前。萨莱米说:“我之前曾经遇到过一个求职者。他在打电话,然后竖起食指告诉我等他一会儿。在那一刻还有什么事比面试更重要呢?”你需要向面试官展示,面试的那一刻是你一天中最重要的时刻。
5. HOW SOON DO YOU PROMOTE?
多久可以升职?
You need to understand that you’re not going to be in this position for two minutes before being promoted, Salemi says. "You want to show that you understand that there's a learning curve," she says. At the same time, you may be genuinely curious about rising up the ranks of the company and opportunities for future growth. A better way to say it: "Can you please tell me more about the career path here?" Salemi suggests.
萨莱米说,你需要理解,你不可能才刚入职就被提拔。她说:“你要表明自己理解学习曲线的存在。”与此同时,你也许对于公司的升职和发展机会真的很好奇。萨莱米建议,更好的表达方式是:“你能多跟我说说公司的职业发展路径吗?”
