    【篇一】求職面試的時候,千萬別說這11句話
    Never Say These 11 Things During A Job Interview (Unless You Don't Want The Job)
    The hiring manager has already sifted through resumes and decided that they want to meet you. Now it’s your turn to make an impression.
    Avoid these 11 statements next time you’re up for a job.
    1. “THAT’S A GREAT QUESTION!”
    While this phrase may be a great addition to social conversations, it’s not something an interviewer needs to hear.
    Instead of sounding surprised that the recruiter asked a question, remember that you’ve prepared for this interview.
    Get straight down to answering their questions.
    2. “WHAT IS THE TITLE OF THE ROLE, AGAIN?”
    Any questions showing your lack of research into the company, the job description, or the industry itself show that you haven’t adequately prepared.
    There’s no doubt it’s important to ask your interviewer questions, but the questions you ask should be targeted toward information you can’t find online: what the company culture is like, how the values of the company play out in day-to-day business, etc.
    3. “I’VE ACTUALLY NEVER DONE THIS TYPE OF JOB BEFORE, BUT . . . “
    If you have a lack of experience, your resume will show it.
    In fact, the interview is your chance to creatively connect the dots between your resume and your decision to apply for the job.
    It’s where you’re able to tell the interviewer why you’ll be a perfect fit for the job, even if that’s not what it looks like on paper.
    4. “I REALLY CAN’T IMAGINE ANYONE MORE QUALIFIED THAN ME”
    Self-aggrandizing during an interview only serves to hurt you in the end.
    Since you haven’t seen the resumes of the other applicants, there’s no use in overtly comparing yourself to them.
    What’s important to learn is the art of the subtle comparison.
    The key is being able to talk about the things that make you special–not just saying that you’re special.
    5. “MY LAST BOSS WAS TERRIBLE”
    Complaining about how you didn’t get along in your last work environment is detrimental on two levels.
    First, it shows your lack of ability to cope with a challenging situation and move past it.
    Second, the last thing your interviewer wants is for you to be talking trash about their company or employees in the future.
    Obviously, it’s important to talk about past challenges you’ve faced on the job–but critically evaluate, don’t complain.
    6. “THIS WILL BE A GREAT STEPPING STONE TO MY NEXT CAREER MOVE”
    While this may be the exact reason you want this job, it’s not a savvy move to share with the interviewer.
    Hiring managers are generally looking for someone who will display a long-term commitment to the company.
    Instead, ask questions about your opportunities for advancement in the company.
    This shows that you mean to stay with the company and let them benefit from your developing skills, knowledge, and maturity.
    7. “I DON’T KNOW”
    There’s always a better way to respond to a question you’re unsure of than saying, “I don’t know.”
    Of course, it’s always important to be humble and not make up what you’re not sure of, but this is where your communication skills come into play.
    8. “I DON’T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU”
    Having questions prepared for your interviewer is almost as important as being able to answer the questions they throw at you.
    The questions you ask are an opportunity to display the deep knowledge you have of the company.
    9. “THAT’S A REALLY NICE WATCH YOU HAVE ON!”
    Attempts to flatter your interviewer will most likely fall short–especially in relation to appearance or material possessions.
    If you really must compliment the interviewer, make it related to something you know they’ve done in the business, or even talk about a move the company made that you admired.
    10. “UM, SO, LIKE, I REALLY, UM . . . “
    As in any situation where you want to sound confident, intelligent, and collected: Cut the filler words.
    11. “DO PEOPLE GENERALLY LIKE WORKING HERE?”
    Don’t try to beat around the bush.
    Ask specific questions about company culture and team morale, and be direct.
    The best way to get the down low on what’s happening in an office is to talk to current or former employees there.
    【篇二】譯文
    求職面試的時候千萬別說這11句話(除非你不想要這個工作)
    招聘經(jīng)理已經(jīng)篩選過了簡歷,并決定和你見一見?,F(xiàn)在是你讓他眼前一亮的機會了。
    下次面試的時候要避免講這11句話。
    “這是個很好的問題!”
    雖然這句話在日常社交里是道不錯的配菜,但它并不是面試官想聽到的東西。
    記住,你是為這場面試做好了準(zhǔn)備的,不要在面試官問問題的時候表現(xiàn)出吃驚。
    直接回答他們的問題。
    “這個職位叫什么來著?”
    任何一個問題,如果它讓人覺得你并沒有事先調(diào)查好這家公司、這個職位、這個行業(yè),那它都只能說明你做的準(zhǔn)備不足。
    雖然問面試官問題的確很重要,但這些問題應(yīng)該著重于那些你在網(wǎng)上找不到的信息:比如公司的企業(yè)文化、他們?nèi)绾卧诿刻斓倪\作中體現(xiàn)自己的價值觀,等等等等。
    “實際上我從來沒有做過這類工作,不過……”
    如果你的經(jīng)驗不夠,他們早就在簡歷上看出來了。
    實際上,你應(yīng)該在面試中創(chuàng)造性地說明你簡歷上的那些資質(zhì)和你的求職決定之間的關(guān)系。
    這是個機會,你現(xiàn)在可以告訴面試官你為什么是這份工作的完美人選,即使實際情況和你簡歷上寫的不一樣。
    “我真的想不出有誰比我更合適了”
    在面試中自我夸大,最終只會適得其反。
    你并沒有看過其他候選人的簡歷,所以沒必要公開地把自己和他們作比較。
    你應(yīng)該學(xué)一學(xué)怎樣微妙地作比較。
    要點就是:談?wù)勀阕鲞^哪些與眾不同的事,而不是單純說你自己與眾不同。
    “我上一個老板超差勁”
    抱怨你在上一個工作環(huán)境中的不適有兩方面的害處。
    首先,這表現(xiàn)出你不能應(yīng)對也不能忍受挑戰(zhàn)性的環(huán)境。
    其次,面試官最不希望的就是你將來離職之后說這家公司和員工的壞話。
    顯然,談?wù)勛约哼^去在工作上面對過的挑戰(zhàn)是很重要的——但你應(yīng)該進(jìn)行批判性的評估,而不是抱怨。
    “這對于我事業(yè)的下一步來說,是一個很好的跳板”
    雖然這可能的確是你申請這份工作的原因,但把它告訴面試官顯然是不明智的。
    招聘經(jīng)理通常都愿意找那些愿意為公司長期服務(wù)的人。
    你應(yīng)該問一問你在這家公司能得到怎樣的發(fā)展機會。
    這表現(xiàn)出你打算留在這家公司并讓他們從你在技能、知識、閱歷上的成長中獲益。
    “我不知道”
    總會有一個比說“我不知道。”更好的辦法來回答一個你拿不準(zhǔn)的問題。
    當(dāng)然,“保持謙遜、不假裝知道自己不懂的事”永遠(yuǎn)都是很重要的,而這就是考驗?zāi)阏勗捈记傻臅r候了。
    “我沒有問題要問你”
    準(zhǔn)備好問面試官的問題,和回答好他們問你的問題同樣重要。
    問問題恰好是個表現(xiàn)你對這家公司的深刻理解的機會。
    “你戴的手表真不錯!”
    試圖恭維你的面試官一般都會適得其反——特別是當(dāng)你恭維的是他們的外表或者物質(zhì)財富的時候。
    如果你非得表揚一下你的面試官,那就說些你所知的TA以前在工作中做過的事,或者說說你認(rèn)可這家公司的哪些舉動。
    “啊,嗯,額,就是……”
    無論在任何情況下,如果你想表現(xiàn)得自信、聰明、有準(zhǔn)備,那就不要講這些填充詞。
    “大家通常喜歡在這工作嗎?”
    不要嘗試旁敲側(cè)擊。
    問些具體的問題,比如公司文化、團(tuán)隊士氣,并且問得直接點。
    想要徹底搞清楚一間辦公室里平常都發(fā)生什么,的辦法就是直接問這里的員工或者前員工。
    【篇三】為爭奪科技人才 硅谷公司展開食堂競賽
    In Silicon Valley, the battle to attract tech talent has now led to a sort of arms race for office perks - and three free meals a day is considered normal.
    The elaborate cuisine is part of a secret rivalry among Silicon Valley tech companies.
    Dropbox has the best food at the moment, according to an informal survey of tech friends.
    Although it is just an office cafeteria, there is no ladling out of food on a tray here. Instead, each dish is fully plated and perfectly arranged.
    The ability to attract top culinary talent is a key reason tech canteens have become so delicious.
    Traditionally, there has been a stigma attached to working with cafeteria food, but this has changed with Silicon Valley-sized pay checks.
    However, for the restaurateurs of Silicon Valley and San Francisco, not only do office canteens dramatically reduce the market for selling food to tech workers, they also make it difficult to retain staff.
    【篇四】譯文
    如今,硅谷對科技人才的爭奪已引發(fā)某種公司福利上的“軍備競賽”,而免費的一日三餐已被視為標(biāo)配。
    精美的菜肴是硅谷科技公司之間無聲較量的內(nèi)容之一。
    根據(jù)對科技界友人展開的一項非正式調(diào)查,目前Dropbox公司的伙食。
    盡管這只是一個公司自助食堂,但這里的食物決不會隨便堆在托盤上,而是每道菜都經(jīng)過了精心的擺盤。
    科技公司的食堂變得如此美味,關(guān)鍵在于有能力吸引到的烹飪?nèi)瞬拧?BR>    傳統(tǒng)上,在食堂工作被視為不光彩的事,但在硅谷高額薪水的作用下,這一觀念發(fā)生了改變。
    不過對于硅谷和舊金山的餐館老板而言,公司食堂不僅嚴(yán)重擠壓了他們向科技員工銷售食物的市場,就連留住員工也變難了。
