【篇一】求职面试的时候,千万别说这11句话

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】译文

求职面试的时候千万别说这11句话（除非你不想要这个工作）

招聘经理已经筛选过了简历，并决定和你见一见。现在是你让他眼前一亮的机会了。

下次面试的时候要避免讲这11句话。

“这是个很好的问题！”

虽然这句话在日常社交里是道不错的配菜，但它并不是面试官想听到的东西。

记住，你是为这场面试做好了准备的，不要在面试官问问题的时候表现出吃惊。

直接回答他们的问题。

“这个职位叫什么来着？”

任何一个问题，如果它让人觉得你并没有事先调查好这家公司、这个职位、这个行业，那它都只能说明你做的准备不足。

虽然问面试官问题的确很重要，但这些问题应该着重于那些你在网上找不到的信息：比如公司的企业文化、他们如何在每天的运作中体现自己的价值观，等等等等。

“实际上我从来没有做过这类工作，不过……”

如果你的经验不够，他们早就在简历上看出来了。

实际上，你应该在面试中创造性地说明你简历上的那些资质和你的求职决定之间的关系。

这是个机会，你现在可以告诉面试官你为什么是这份工作的完美人选，即使实际情况和你简历上写的不一样。

“我真的想不出有谁比我更合适了”

在面试中自我夸大，最终只会适得其反。

你并没有看过其他候选人的简历，所以没必要公开地把自己和他们作比较。

你应该学一学怎样微妙地作比较。

要点就是：谈谈你做过哪些与众不同的事，而不是单纯说你自己与众不同。

“我上一个老板超差劲”

抱怨你在上一个工作环境中的不适有两方面的害处。

首先，这表现出你不能应对也不能忍受挑战性的环境。

其次，面试官最不希望的就是你将来离职之后说这家公司和员工的坏话。

显然，谈谈自己过去在工作上面对过的挑战是很重要的——但你应该进行批判性的评估，而不是抱怨。

“这对于我事业的下一步来说，是一个很好的跳板”

虽然这可能的确是你申请这份工作的原因，但把它告诉面试官显然是不明智的。

招聘经理通常都愿意找那些愿意为公司长期服务的人。

你应该问一问你在这家公司能得到怎样的发展机会。

这表现出你打算留在这家公司并让他们从你在技能、知识、阅历上的成长中获益。

“我不知道”

总会有一个比说“我不知道。”更好的办法来回答一个你拿不准的问题。

当然，“保持谦逊、不假装知道自己不懂的事”永远都是很重要的，而这就是考验你谈话技巧的时候了。

“我没有问题要问你”

准备好问面试官的问题，和回答好他们问你的问题同样重要。

问问题恰好是个表现你对这家公司的深刻理解的机会。

“你戴的手表真不错！”

试图恭维你的面试官一般都会适得其反——特别是当你恭维的是他们的外表或者物质财富的时候。

如果你非得表扬一下你的面试官，那就说些你所知的TA以前在工作中做过的事，或者说说你认可这家公司的哪些举动。

“啊，嗯，额，就是……”

无论在任何情况下，如果你想表现得自信、聪明、有准备，那就不要讲这些填充词。

“大家通常喜欢在这工作吗？”

不要尝试旁敲侧击。

问些具体的问题，比如公司文化、团队士气，并且问得直接点。

想要彻底搞清楚一间办公室里平常都发生什么，的办法就是直接问这里的员工或者前员工。

【篇三】为争夺科技人才 硅谷公司展开食堂竞赛

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】译文

如今，硅谷对科技人才的争夺已引发某种公司福利上的“军备竞赛”，而免费的一日三餐已被视为标配。

精美的菜肴是硅谷科技公司之间无声较量的内容之一。

根据对科技界友人展开的一项非正式调查，目前Dropbox公司的伙食。

尽管这只是一个公司自助食堂，但这里的食物决不会随便堆在托盘上，而是每道菜都经过了精心的摆盘。

科技公司的食堂变得如此美味，关键在于有能力吸引到的烹饪人才。

传统上，在食堂工作被视为不光彩的事，但在硅谷高额薪水的作用下，这一观念发生了改变。

不过对于硅谷和旧金山的餐馆老板而言，公司食堂不仅严重挤压了他们向科技员工销售食物的市场，就连留住员工也变难了。
