10 Things Recruiters Won’t Tell You (But I Will!)

招聘人員不會告訴你的十件事(但我會!)

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決定的。諷刺地是，在當(dāng)前的經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢下，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。過去是千挑萬選，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。

換句話說：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)聘者之間的競爭是如此激烈時(shí)，人際交往能力、著裝等都變得更加重要。事實(shí)證明：那些沒能給人留下良好的第一印象的應(yīng)聘者都會被拒絕并且再也不會得到聯(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告訴你你做錯(cuò)了什么。

Why?

為什么會這樣?

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，問問你自己：“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%的交流都是非語言的，我能告訴你的是，你只需專注一件事，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，或者困惑都會表現(xiàn)出來。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)和極大的熱忱來說明你是絕佳的人選。我知道這些事說著容易做著難，但是是能夠做到的。

Your Next Step

下一步你要做的事

School teaches you everything except how to get the job. You must invest time in learning the right way to job search。
