"I've sent my résumé to over 150 companies but I'm not getting any bites," complained a job hunter. "How many more jobs should I apply to in order to generate some interest?" "我把简历发给了150多家公司,但是没有得到任何面试机会,”一个找工作的人抱怨道。“我还得申请多少份工作才会有公司对我感兴趣呀?” Some people treat job hunting as a numbers game. They hope that by applying to enough companies, sooner or later they will find success. While there is no one magic number of how many places a jobsearcher need apply, you shouldn't for a moment believe that applying to everything in sight is a winning strategy for career progression. Moreover,being unprepared for success might also be risky. 有些人把找工作看成是数字游戏。他们希望申请足够多的公司后,早晚都能成功。由于并不存在申请多少家公司就能找到工作的魔法数字,你不应该相信,只要是公司你就去申请对你的事业发展是成功的策略。此外,没有准备好也是有风险的。 Imagine getting this call: "Hi Joe.This is Jane from ABC Corp. I'm responding to the résumé you submitted to us.Thanks so much for your interest. Can you tell me why this job appeals to you?" 想象一下你接到这个电话:“你好,乔。我是ABC公司的简。我负责处理你提交给我们的简历。谢谢你对我们的公司感兴趣。你能告诉我为什么这份工作会吸引你吗?” |
