聽500位人力資源經理談面試大忌

來源：網絡發(fā)布時間：2010-03-02

　　According to a new survey of nearly 500 human-resources professionals released by the U.S. Department of Labor, there are plenty of ways to derail a job interview and some of them may surprise you.
　　美國人力資源協會最近對近500名人力資源經理做了一項新調查，發(fā)現應聘者在面試過程中有很多地方容易把事情搞砸，其中一些可能會讓你大吃一驚。
　　The basic don’ts: arriving late to an interview or trashing a previous employer. But some hiring managers say even experienced professionals have made other slip-ups.
　　這些基本的錯誤不要犯：參加面試不要遲到，不要貶低以前的雇主。不過有些招聘經理表示，有時候甚至連久經沙場的應聘者也會在陰溝里翻船。
　　Often, job candidates speak in a too-familiar way with hiring managers a major problem, according to 20% of survey respondents. Mary Willoughby, director of human resources at the Center for Disability Rights in Rochester, N.Y., once interviewed someone who was so comfortable, he commented on a sty she had near her eye.
　　應聘者往往會以一種過于親昵的語氣與招聘經理交談——根據20%受訪者的反饋，這是一個普遍問題。紐約州羅切斯特市殘疾人維權中心的人力資源主管瑪麗·維羅比說，有一次她面試的應聘者自我感覺過于良好，居然評論起她眼角的一顆麥粒腫。
　　"My mind was made up at that point," she says. The candidate was not hired.
　　“當時我就做出了決定，” 瑪麗說。那名應聘者沒有得到職位。
　　For 67% of hiring managers who responded to the survey, dressing provocatively is a major deal breaker even more significant than having a typo in your application materials (58% found this to be an interview killer). Chantal Verbeek, head of enterprise talent at ING U.S. Financial Services, says she’ll forgive a typo if the applicant’s skills are extraordinary, but revealing or sloppy apparel equals an instant rejection.
　　67%的受訪者認為，著裝不當是個大忌——它比求職簡歷中出現錯字都要嚴重（58%的接受調查者認為這是一個重大失誤）。荷蘭國際集團美國金融服務業(yè)務部人力資源部的負責人查恩塔爾·沃比克說，如果應聘者技能出眾，她可以原諒簡歷中出現一個錯字，但衣著暴露或穿著懶散等同于立刻被拒絕。
　　From the Society for Human Resource Management survey of nearly 500 HR managers:
　　人力資源協會對近500名人力資源經理所做的調查還發(fā)現：
　　*30% of hiring managers will decide whether to hire you within 15 minutes.
　　* 30%的招聘經理將在15分鐘內決定是否雇傭應聘者。
　　* 40% of hiring managers say a cellphone ringing in the middle of an interview is a "deal breaker".
　　*40%的招聘經理表示，如果在面試中應聘者的手機突然響起，那就“沒得可談”。
　　* 70% prefer job candidates to have unpaid internship experience directly related to their companies’ work versus paid employment in an unrelated field.
　　*70%的招聘經理更喜歡應聘者在其公司涉及的領域有過不領工資的實習經驗，而不是在非涉及的領域有過全職的工作經驗。
　　* 39% say "chemistry" with a job applicant accounts for half of their hiring decision
　　*39%的招聘經理說，能否與應聘者產生“化學反應”在其招聘決策中占有一半的作用。
　　Job seekers have also been blasting HR managers with questions about benefits, vacation time and schedule flexibility much too soon in the interview process, according to the survey. (Thirty percent of hiring managers say it’s okay for applicants to inquire about salary in post-interview follow-up conversations.) Some 39% of hiring managers surveyed said applicants shouldn’t bring up salary at all unless the interviewer brings it up first.
　　該調查顯示，在面試過程中，一些應聘者過早地向人力資源經理提出諸如福利獎金、休假時間和工作靈活性等問題。（30%的招聘經理表示，招聘者在面試結束后的雙方交流中問起薪水問題是可以的。）約39%的受訪招聘經理表示，應聘者根本不應該詢問待遇水平，除非是面試官主動提起。
　　"I’ve had candidates ask if they can work part-time from home right off the bat," Ms. Willoughby says. "Let’s figure out if you’re the right person for this job before we discuss how little you want to be in the office."
　　“有些應聘者一開始就問他們能不能在家上班。” 維羅比說，“正確的順序是，等我們決定你適不適合這份工作，再來討論你愿意在辦公室里呆多久。”
　　Shawn Desgrosellier, president of Vitality Group Executive Search, coaches job candidates to go into an interview with something anything in their hands. The step maintains focus. (He suggested a pen, a notepad or your résumé.) "It’s just awkward going into an interview with nothing," he says.
　　一家獵頭公司Vitality Group Executive Search的總裁肖恩·戴斯格羅斯勒建議應聘者參加面試時手上一定要拿點東西——隨便什么都行，這樣能讓你保持專注。（他建議拿一支筆、一本筆記本或一份自己的簡歷）“兩手空空走進面試地點會讓人有些手足無措，”他說道。
　　And the formal thank-you letter after the interview? More than 60% of HR managers who responded say skipping the step is not a big deal. A brief email will suffice cards and balloons are all overboard.
　　那么，應聘者要不要在面試后發(fā)一封正式的感謝信呢？60%以上接受調查的人力資源經理認為，省略這一步也無傷大雅，發(fā)一封簡短的電子郵件就行──但送賀卡和彩色氣球就不必了。
