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 Are People Too 雇主也是人 Face it, accidents happen. Résumés get lost in the shuffle. People honestly forget to call. Your references may inadvertently raise red flags. You cannot control these situations. 要承认,意外时有发生。混乱中可能造成简历遗漏,人们会忘记打电话通知,你的推荐人可能不小心导致问题。这些都是你无法控制的情况。 Plus, believe it or not, rejection is hard on employers, too. It is uncomfortable, even painful, to tell candidates they chose someone else. They are worried about their jobs, too…and those jobs are on the line with the people they hire. They are naturally going to be risk-averse. Most decisions are close calls—and there are doubts. You just never see them. 另外,信不信由你,拒绝对雇主们来说同样是件艰难的事。告诉应聘者他们选择了别人会让他们不舒服、甚至痛苦。他们也在担心自己的工作……这些工作和他们聘用的人密切相关。很自然地,他们得规避风险。多数决定都是艰难做出地——雇主们也是疑虑重重。只是你没看见罢了。 • There Is Always Hope |
