So when your fruitless search fills you with angst and self-doubt, always remember the following truths about job hunting: 所以当你毫无结果的搜索让你充满焦虑和自我怀疑，一定得记住下面有关求职的事实: Employers Have Prejudices Too 招聘者也会有偏见 In our personal lives, we often make assumptions about others. We take a quirk—a moment of weakness—and blow it out of proportion. We collect puzzle pieces, connect fragmented images, and formulate the "story" behind someone, however incomplete. 在个人生活里面，我们会经常对别人做出假设。我们会将一个古怪的行为——泄露弱点——极大地夸张。我们收集零碎的信息、将破碎的图像联系到一起，形成关于某个人的“故事”，尽管这故事很不完整。 Employers are no different with you. In some interviews, your counterparts will quickly size you up, right or wrong. They will look to reinforce their initial impressions. They will make assumptions about your experience and expectations. 招聘者和你没什么区别。在一些面试中，他们会迅速品评你一番，不管结论是对是错。他们会去寻找支持第一印象的东西，对你的经历和期望做出假设。 It can be any factor. They may see you as too old. Too young. Too smart. Too expensive. Too pretty. Too plain. Too fat. Too short. Too bald. Too flashy. Too quiet. Too female. Too male. And too much like your predecessor. There are no hard and fast rules. And it may have little to do with the real you. It happens. |
