Li Xiaoming, 22, a senior computer science major, dares to ask all sorts of questions in a job interview. 22岁的李晓明(音译)是计算机专业的一名大四学生,他敢于在工作面试中提出各种各样的问题。 He won't hesitate to inquire about a company's merger or acquisition plans or its strategy in building brand reputation. 他会毫不犹豫地问及公司的合并、收购计划,以及公司树立品牌声望的战略。 But there's one thing he often lacks courage to ask: his own salary. 但有一件事,他总是没有勇气开口——薪金待遇。 "I'm afraid that bringing up this topic might offend the recruiter and damage my chance of getting an offer," he said. "So I'm shy and reluctant to talk about it." "我担心提出这个话题会惹恼招聘人员,从而丢掉这份工作。"他说,"所以我总是不好意思,也不愿去谈论这个问题。" Li, a student at Hebei University of Economics & Business is not the only one who feels this way. According to a latest survey by 51job.com, a major recruiting portal, more than 30 percent of job interviewees find it hard to raise the salary issue. 就读于河北经贸大学的李晓明并非唯一一个这样想的人。根据知名求职门户网站——前程无忧网所进行的最新调查显示,30%以上的面试者都觉得对于薪金问题难以启齿。 As a result, many end up in jobs without knowing exactly their pay and conditions. |
