雙語閱讀:求職面試中千萬不要說這5句話

1. ARE THERE FLEXIBLE WORKING HOURS?

工作時間靈活嗎?

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.

招聘資訊機構校園招聘官(College Recruiter)”的主席創始人斯蒂芬·羅斯伯格說,等收到工作邀約後再問工作時間的事情。被錄用以後,你纔有一點主動權可以向僱主詢問日常細節,而不會顯得懶惰。如果工作時間、帶薪休假遠程工作安排等軟福利對你來說很重要的話,你可以在洽談薪水時候一起談。

2. TELL ME ABOUT THE POSITION.

請給我介紹一下這個職位

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.

大多數面試官都是爲了某個職位來面試你。美國喬治亞州職場導師吉爾·麥克法登說,你早就應該瞭解這個職位,而且應該爲了這個職位推銷自己。麥克法登說:“除非是突如其來的面試,否則詢問這個職位都不是明智之舉,而且你確實需要了解這個職位。”面試指導機構“專家面試導師”(Expert Interview Coach)的創始人巴里·德雷克斯勒補充道,要求面試官描述這個職位會讓人覺得你沒做好準備,不把這次機會當回事。

3. I PLAN ON GETTING MY MASTER'S DEGREE.

計劃攻讀碩士學位

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.

如果面試官問你五年之內的計劃,你的答案必須符合這一職位的職業發展路徑。德雷克斯勒說,因此如果你面試的是市場營銷的職位,不要說你未來五年的計劃是做銷售。告訴面試官你計劃回學校進修也是不明智的(除非你百分百肯定公司鼓勵你這麼做)。如果你這麼說,將可能讓人感覺你不夠投入。

4. HOW LONG IS THIS INTERVIEW?

面試的時間有多長

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.

紐約就業指導專家維姬·薩萊米說,你需要的是處在當下,把握眼前。薩萊米說:“我之前曾經遇到過一個求職者。他在打電話,然後豎起食指告訴我等他一會兒。在那一刻還有什麼事比面試更重要呢?”你需要向面試官展示,面試的那一刻是你一天中最重要的時刻

5. HOW SOON DO YOU PROMOTE?

多久可以升職?

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.

薩萊米說,你需要理解,你不可能纔剛入職就被提拔。她說:“你要表明自己理解學習曲線的存在。”與此同時,你也許對於公司的升職和發展機會真的很好奇。薩萊米建議,更好的表達方式是:“你能多跟我說說公司的職業發展路徑嗎?”
