如何应对糟糕的面试官(2)
介绍完了自己,该和面试官套套近乎了。对于心不在焉的面试官该怎么做呢?让他/她谈谈自己、带你参观一下公司吧!
Enough About Me...
该谈谈你了
The best interviews are often those in which you're able to forge a real connection with your interviewer. But if he doesn't know what he's doing, that may seem next to impossible...unless you start asking questions about your interviewer and his career.
最好的面试往往能让你和面试官建立一种真正的联系。但如果他不知道自己在做什么,那么这几乎就不可能。除非你开始问一些面试官和他工作的问题。
Inquire as to how he came to work at the company, ask him how he likes it. Ask about where he started his career and what attracted him to this particular industry or area of expertise. Try to discover what his professional aspirations are.
问一问他是如何进入这家公司的,问一问他对公司的看法。问一问他的职业生涯从哪儿开始、是什么吸引他进入这个行业或专业领域。试着去发现他的职业抱负。
At all times, show enthusiasm and interest in his responses (no matter how boring or brief they may be).
任何时候都要表现出你很有热情和兴趣听到他的回答(不论多么无聊或简短)。
Show and Tell
边走边谈
If you still need to buy more face time with your interviewer, ask for a tour of the offices or facility. Again, ask questions along the way, even if it's about how long the company has been at that particular location.
如果你还想和面试官一起待更长时间,那么要求看看办公室或大楼。在路上也要问问题,即便是公司在某个地方有多长时间之类的问题。
Try to get your interviewer to introduce you to other people who work there -- those with whom you'll work closely, someone in management, or even just folks you pass during your tour. Now is an ideal time to use the knowledge you have about the company to offer up insightful observations and flattering acknowledgments about the organization and how it's run.
让面试官把你介绍给其它工作人员——将和你有密切工作关系的同事、管理者、甚至是任何你遇到的人。这正是利用对公司的了解来提出深刻见解、赞美公司成就、以及述说运作方式的好时候。
Finally, be sure to ask your interviewer when he anticipates making a decision. Reiterate your interest in the position and your enthusiasm for the company. Thank him graciously for his time, both in person and in a prompt thank-you letter.
最后要问一问他什么时候会有结果。重申你对职位的兴趣、公司的热情。当面以及随后都立刻礼貌地感谢对方为你花费的时间。
