求职被拒的前五大原因
5. 没有做足准备,相信自己可以“即兴表演”(53%)。普罗塞建议:“要像为老板或客户准备演示一样,准备自己的面试。”需要做的准备工作包括“练习、练习、再练习”,对每一家公司和每一位面试官进行充分的背景调查,“预想招聘经理会提哪些问题,并准备一些向他们提问的实质性问题。”虽然这听起来理所当然,但在OI公司的调查中,约有40%的猎头和职业教练表示,他们见过许多来面试,但却对雇主或公司一无所知的求职者。 外一条建议:做好自己。有三分之一(33%)受访者感叹“缺乏幽默、热情或个性”的求职者太多了。确实,人们在紧张的时候容易怯场。但即便如此,普罗塞还是建议:“要做到真实诚恳。大多数招聘经理都能看穿一个人的行为。”(财富中文网) 译者:刘进龙/汪皓 |
5. Believe they can “wing it” without enough preparation (53%).“Prepare for an interview the same way you would for a presentation to a boss or a client,” Prosser suggests. That includes “practice, practice, practice,” plus doing enough background research on each company, and each interviewer, to “anticipate what the hiring manager is likely to ask, and prepare substantive questions to ask them.” That might sound obvious, but about 40% of headhunters and coaches in the OI poll said they’ve seen candidates go in to an interview knowing zip about the employer or the job. One more suggestion: Be yourself. One in three (33%) lamented the number of candidates who “lack humor, warmth, or personality” in interviews. To be sure, that may be partly because some people freeze up when they’re nervous. Even so, Prosser says, “Be real and sincere. Most hiring managers will see through an act.” |
