客套話解析

麵試完畢,分析來分析去,都不會改變麵試的結果。分析就算周五娛樂一下。

本周三會議有類似的case,hiring manager說了一大堆好話,最後沒有拿到offer。非常想得到那份工作的求職者,覺得那些話就是暗示自己的表現令人滿意,offer十拿九穩;旁觀者一聽,全是客套話,美國式的彎彎繞。

在我們那兒,今天有人說:“過兩天來我家,咱們小聚一下喝兩口。”禮拜天我不會真的去敲他家門,因為我們都知道,“兩天”是虛指,這不是正是的邀請,分手時說的客套話,意思是“再見”。

在美國這兒,客套話也很多,咱們得理解言下之意,而不是簡單地從字麵理解。幾個例子:

- You have the exact skills we are looking for

言下之意+:Yes, you have the skills on your resume, that's why we call upon you for this interview, however you still have to show me that you are able to do the job.Neutual

- You are qualified for this job

+ You may have the skills and experience, but I need to check if you have the personality, which makes you to fit in the team. Neutual.

- You have very good skills, you may qualify for other openings in our company, a manager from another group is interested to your background.

+ This could be a negative feedback. I don't really think you are a good fit, the truth might be there's no such opening at all, the reason I mentioned another opening, I just want to be nice and I am in good mood.

- I like your background, and I think you can easily fit in. This opening doesn't match your experience perfectly, but I will keep your resume, cause we are expanding and openings are coming out soon.

+ ops, I've deleted your resume.When there's a opening, you'd better apply again. Don't expect that I would remember your name at that time. Absolutely negative.

麵試的時候,不能被客套話迷惑而過於放鬆。拿到offer之前,跟他們打交道都要圍繞著market yourself這個中心。

麵試完了就move on。說話人的語氣, body language,比字麵意思還重要,求職者自己感覺不出來的話,旁人更無從下手分析。
