畢業生如何從求職大軍中脫穎而出？
|
?????切記，不要只談自己。施維澤稱，當面試官問為什么希望到Acme公司工作時，“恰當的回答應該是：‘我工作非常努力，在 （）（自行填空） 方面擁有豐富經驗，我能在這些方面給公司做出貢獻。’”但他說，自己經常遇到的情況是，求職者往往都“大談特談自己。實際上，求職者應該更多談論他們與公司之間的聯系。告訴我們你能給公司帶來什么，而不僅僅是你想要什么。” ?????全面調查每一位雇主。僅靠瀏覽公司的網站沒有什么用處。施維澤說：“每當我問求職者對我們公司有什么了解時，很少有人能說出一些沒在公司網站上出現的內容。求職者如果對公司做過詳細調查，并能說出一些其他人不知道的事情，必然能脫穎而出，因為他或她比其他求職者做了更多功課。” ?????重點強調自己的領導能力。施維澤說：“我們聘用的員工，不全是平均成績4.0，履歷也都無可挑剔的優秀學生。只有能吃苦耐勞和愿意額外付出努力的求職者才能獲得青睞。比如，一位退伍老兵平均成績只有3.0，但他有過領導其他人的經歷，而且習慣了在極端狀況下努力工作。因此，相比那些無法證明自己具備這些能力的優秀學生，這樣的老兵自然是我們更中意的人選。” ?????打磨自己的網絡形象。當潛在雇主通過谷歌（Google）搜索你的時候（他們肯定會這么做），你肯定希望他們搜索到的結果能令他們心動。亞力克莎?哈米爾說：“求職者的網絡形象前所未有地重要。” ????如今，打造良好的網絡形象不僅僅是不在Facebook上發布學生聯誼會派對照片這么簡單。為了幫助求職者建立個人品牌，普華永道綜合了一套詳細的（免費的）在線培訓課程，其中包括一套工作手冊，可以為求職者提供逐項指導。 ????順便說一下，既然你提到自己已經進行了四次面試，有一則消息或許會讓你感興趣。據美國學院與雇主聯合委員會（National Association of Colleges and Employers）披露，面試與工作邀請之間的平均等待時間約為24個工作日。而在個別行業，等待時間則更長，比如工程服務行業為30天，酒店業則是39天。最快的是計算機制造業，只要等16天，就會有人問你何時能上班？ ????反饋：你畢業后是怎樣找到第一份工作的？如果你是一名招聘經理，你認為哪些方面能讓一名職場新丁脫穎而出？歡迎評論。（財富中文網） ????譯者：劉進龍/汪皓 |
????? Remember, it's not all about you. Schweitzer says that, when an interviewer asks why you want to work for Acme Corp., "the proper response is, 'I'm a hard-working person with experience in [fill in the blank], and here is what I want to contribute.'" Too often, he says, applicants' responses are "all about them, when it needs to be more about their connection to my organization. Tell us what you bring to the table, not just what you want." ??? ? Research each employer thoroughly. Just taking a look at the company web site won't do it. "When I ask candidates what they know about us, it's rare that someone tells me something that isn't on our web site," Schweitzer says. "A person who researches the company and mentions something else about us is someone who stands out, because he or she has done more than the typical applicant." ??? ? Emphasize your leadership skills. "Not everyone we hire is a 4.0 student with a perfect resume," says Schweitzer. "The person who is willing to work hard and put in the extra effort is going to come out ahead. For example, a military veteran with a 3.0 GPA but who has experience leading others, and is used to hard work in extreme situations, is often a better candidate than a 4.0 student who is unable to demonstrate those qualities." ??? ? Polish your online presence. When prospective employers Google you (and they will), you want them to be impressed by what they find. "A candidate's online image is so much more important than it was in the past," notes Alexa Hamill. ??? Creating the right persona in cyberspace these days goes way beyond just keeping your frat-party photos off Facebook. To help you do it right, PwC has put together a detailed (and free) online tutorial on building your personal brand, including a workbook that will walk you through it step by step. ??? Incidentally, since you mention that you've already had four interviews with recruiters, it might interest you to know that the average wait between interview and job offer is 24 business days, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Companies in some industries take longer -- 30 days in engineering services, for instance, and 39 days in hospitality. Computer manufacturers are the quickest, taking just 16 days to ask when you can start. ??? Talkback: How did you get your first job out of college?
