求職申請石沉大海怎么辦？

????“舉例來說，這些功能的運作方式其實與亞馬遜處理圖書訂單的方式類似，系統(tǒng)追蹤記錄圖書離開倉庫的時間、搬上卡車的時間、在途送往顧客手中的時間，等等，”弗曼表示，“因此，問題不是雇主們不知道你的申請進度如何，以及有多少人正在競爭該崗位或者是否已有合適人員。他們清楚得很。” ????他們只是不告訴你。StartWire的調(diào)查顯示，盡管接受調(diào)查的求職者中，有90%表示收到回饋能使求職過程“不那么令人氣餒”，96%表示更愿意到一家自己知道將及時被告知進度的公司去應(yīng)聘，可只有33%的《財富》美國500強公司會將他們手頭擁有的任何信息轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)給求職者。“那些以‘求職申請黑洞’而著稱的公司，可能會錯過潛在的明星雇員。”弗曼如是說。 ????了解了上述情形后，你需要等多久才能確定自己沒能得到這份真心想要的工作呢？大體上說，經(jīng)驗法則表明一份職位空缺約持續(xù)45天。“因此，你應(yīng)了解該空缺信息首次發(fā)布是什么時候”——StartWire收集5600家雇主的眾多信息，并向其用戶提供，其中就涵蓋了上述問題的答案——“從那天起數(shù)45天，如果還沒有任何回應(yīng)，你就可以假定自己沒能成功了。”弗曼稱。 ????就你的情況而言，由于你面試后已過去了三周，現(xiàn)在放棄還為時過早，可以再等三周。可是，那家向你發(fā)出錄取通知書的公司愿意等你那么久，讓你慢慢下決定嗎？ ????在當前形勢下或許不會，“你應(yīng)當聯(lián)系自己更想加入的那家公司，讓對方知道你有另一份錄用通知在手，”總部位于波士頓的經(jīng)理人培訓(xùn)公司ClearRock的管理合伙人安妮?史蒂芬斯建議，“要把這說成對他們的一種禮貌，并請他們提出反要約。” ????如果你這么做了，然后還是沒有回應(yīng)呢？“兩天內(nèi)收不到反要約的話，”史蒂芬斯表示，“就接受另一份工作吧，充分利用好那個機會。” ????祝你好運！ 讀者交流：您是否有過申請一份工作（或者不止一份），然后被晾在一邊，根本不知道自己還有無機會的經(jīng)歷？如果您是招聘經(jīng)理，您是否認同求職者應(yīng)當?shù)却?5天之后再放棄希望？敬請在文后發(fā)表評論。 ????譯者：小宇 |
????"These features work the same way as when, for example, you order a book from Amazon (AMZN). The system tracks when it leaves the warehouse, when it goes on a truck, when it's en route for delivery to you, and so on," says Forman. "So the problem isn't that employers don't know where your application stands, how many other people are in the running, or whether the job has been filled. They know precisely." ????They just don't tell you. StartWire's research shows that only 33% of Fortune 500 companies pass along any of the data they have on hand to candidates, even though 90% of job seekers surveyed said that getting that feedback would make their job hunt "less frustrating," and 96% said they would be more likely to apply for a job at a company where they know they'll be kept informed. "Companies that are notorious for 'application black holes' lose out on potential star employees," Forman says. ????With all that in mind, how long should you wait before concluding that you didn't get that job you really want? As a general rule of thumb, a job stays open for about 45 days. "So if you know when the opening was first posted" -- one of the many kinds of data that StartWire collects from about 5,600 employers and makes available to its users -- "count 45 days from that date, and if you've still heard nothing, you can assume you didn't get it," Forman says. ????In your case, since it's been three weeks since your interview, it's still about three weeks too early to give up. But is the employer who did make you an offer willing to wait that long for your decision? ????Probably not, so at this point, "you should contact the company where you'd prefer to get hired and let them know you have another offer," advises Annie Stevens, a managing partner at Boston-based executive coaching firm ClearRock. "Frame this as a courtesy to them, and invite them to make a counteroffer." ????What if you do that and still hear nothing? "If you don't receive a counteroffer within two days," says Stevens, "then take the other job and make the best of that opportunity." ????Good luck. Talkback: Have you applied for a job (or more than one) and been left in the dark as to whether you're still in the running for it? If you're a hiring manager, do you agree that applicants should wait 45 days before giving up? Leave a comment below. |
