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怀疑自己，一定得记住下面有关求职的事实: • Job Hunting is Unfair 找工作是不公平的 The best person isn't always picked—and the playing field is rarely even. The cliché, "it's not what you know, but who you know" is extremely relevant. 公司选择的并不总是最优秀的人——而且，求职之路也极少平坦。那句“你知道什么不要紧，你认识谁才要紧”用在这里再合适不过。 There are so many ways to get passed over—and many reasons for it. A company may already have a candidate in mind, such as a proven internal applicant who represents little risk. They may hire someone who struck a chord, whose pop and polish masked his deficits. It could come down to a gut feeling. There could be political, considerations too. 被忽略掉的情况简直太多了——而且背后有许多原因。公司心中也许已有人选，比如一位已经确定、不存在多少风险的内部申请者。他们雇佣的也许是一位意气相投，极好地掩饰了自己缺陷的人。可能最终还是凭感觉，还可能存在政治、报偿考虑。 Bottom line: Companies want to deal with people they know. They want to hire people they like and implicitly trust. Like all of us, their judgment is sometimes faulty. Don't view it as an indictment of you as a person. 结论：公司希望与自己了解的人相处。他们希望聘用自己喜欢、并且信任的人。和我们每个人一样，他们的评判有时是错误的。不要把它看成是对你本人的评判。 |
