如何通过三个简单的问题就不会陷入求职困境 (How to get un-stuck in your job search with three simple questions)

您甚至不知道为什么会被卡住？ (Do you even know why you’re stuck?)

Your job search can feel like a movie you’ve seen over and over. The same thing seems to happen every time.

您的求职感觉就像一遍遍看过的电影。 似乎每次都发生同一件事。

You get motivated to finally start looking for a new job. You hunt around the internet and make a list of intriguing jobs. You start imagining yourself getting out of your current job. You start applying, there’s progress, you get some call backs, maybe you even go on-site to interview a few times. There’s a ray of hope. Inevitably, though, there’s a barrage of rejections and insecurity creeps in.

您有动力终于开始寻找新工作。 您在互联网上搜寻并列出了有趣的工作。 您开始想象自己要离开当前的工作。 您开始申请，取得了进展，您得到了一些回电，甚至您可能会去现场面试几次。 有一线希望。 但是，不可避免地会有大量的拒绝和不安全感蔓延。

Sometimes, insecurity leads you to give up on the search, but often times it leads you to double down and vow to power through.

有时，不安全感会导致您放弃搜索，但通常情况下，它会使您加倍努力并发誓要通过。

You start applying to any and every job you think is remotely relevant. You set a goal to shoot off 10 applications per day. You tell yourself, “it’s a numbers game.”

您开始申请任何您认为与远程相关的工作。 您设定了一个每天要淘汰10个应用程序的目标。 您告诉自己，“这是一个数字游戏。”

If this is you, stop applying to jobs, immediately.

如果是您，请立即停止申请工作 。

You’re stuck.

你被困住了。

You need to diagnose why you’re stuck.

您需要诊断为什么被卡住。

If you don’t first know why your job search is stuck, you’re going to be spinning your wheels in place — spending a lot of time and energy, but not making forward progress.

如果您不首先知道求职的原因，那么您将需要花很多时间和精力，但并没有取得进展。

To get back to making real progress on your job search, look back on your previous job applications and ask yourself these questions:

要在求职方面取得真正的进步，请回顾以前的求职申请，并向自己提出以下问题：

1.申请*后您是否得到面试？ (1. Are you getting interviews after applying*?)

*I’m going to assume you’ve spent time polishing your résumé and are doing your best to apply to jobs with referrals. If you’re blindly applying to jobs without making an effort to get referrals, read this post.

*我假设您已经花了很多时间来完善您的简历，并正在竭尽全力来申请推荐工作。 如果您盲目地申请工作而又不努力争取推荐，请阅读这篇文章 。

如果您没有针对所申请的工作进行任何面试，很可能就是您在申请错误的工作。 (If you’re not getting any interviews for the jobs you’re applying to, chances are, you’re applying to the wrong jobs.)

It may be tough to hear, but it probably means that right now, your experience isn’t competitive for that particular role.

可能很难听到，但这可能意味着就目前而言，您的经验并不适合该特定角色。

There’s more nuance to this than just “you don’t have the right experience.”

除了“您没有正确的经验”之外，还有更多的细微差别。

It could be that the job market in your geographic location is more competitive than others. You could test this by applying to similar roles in other cities, both smaller and larger. If you’re open to re-locating, this might be worth trying.

您所在地理位置的就业市场可能比其他人更具竞争力。 您可以通过在越来越大的其他城市申请类似的角色来进行测试。 如果您愿意搬迁，这可能值得尝试。

It could be that you lack specific credentials, whether educational or skills-based. Search LinkedIn for people with the role you want to see what proportion of them have a particular credential. If a very high percentage of them have it, it may be worth pursuing, if you’re able.

可能是您缺乏特定的证书，无论是教育证书还是基于技能的证书。 在LinkedIn中搜索具有您想要的角色的人员，以查看其中有特定证书的比例。 如果他们中有很高比例的人拥有它，那么如果您有能力的话，可能值得追求。

However, getting that credential doesn’t mean you’ll get the job you want. Even after you get the credential (and probably spending money on it), you’ll still have to go through the same process of applying and interviewing.

但是，获得该证书并不意味着您会得到想要的工作。 即使获得了证书(并可能花了很多钱)，您仍然必须经历相同的申请和面试过程。

It could be that you need a stepping stone job. Stepping stone jobs set you up to be more competitive for the ultimate job (right role, right company) you want. It could be a role that gives you relevant experience so you can better demonstrate you’re a fit for your ultimate job. Or, it could be the role you want, but at a company that may be in a different industry or not well known. I’ve seen this approach to be the most expedient both in terms of getting the next job and the ultimate job.

可能是您需要踏脚石。 踏脚石的工作使您在想要的最终工作(正确的角色，正确的公司)方面更具竞争力。 该角色可能会为您提供相关的经验，因此您可以更好地证明自己很适合最终工作。 或者，可能是您想要的角色，但是在一家可能处于不同行业或知名度不高的公司中。 无论是获得下一份工作还是最终工作，我都认为这种方法是最方便的方法。

2.您是否经过了第一次电话采访？ (2. Are you making it past the first phone interview?)

Generally, the first phone interview will focus on how you explain your experience. Getting the first phone interview means your work experience on your paper résumé was relevant enough for the hiring manager or recruiter to take 30 minutes out of their day to learn more about you.

通常，第一次电话面试将集中于您如何解释自己的经历。 进行第一次电话面试意味着您在简历上的工作经验足够相关，以使招聘经理或招聘人员每天花30分钟时间来了解有关您的更多信息。

As a check, look back at your previous applications:

作为检查，请回顾一下以前的应用程序：

• If you’re rarely getting to the first phone interview e.g. 1 out of 10, you’re essentially not getting interviews. It may mean you’re going after the wrong roles. See point #1 above.

  如果您很少去进行第一次电话采访，例如十分之一，那么您基本上就不会得到采访。 这可能意味着您要选择错误的角色。 参见上面的第一点。

• If you’re getting to the first phone interview about half the time or a little less, you probably have the minimum relevant work experience and credentials for the jobs you’re aiming for.

  如果您大约一半或更少的时间才开始第一次电话面试 ，那么您可能具有针对您所要从事的工作的最低相关工作经验和资格证书。

• If you’re consistently getting to the first phone interview more than half the time, your résumé is not a problem, no need to spend more time fine tuning it.

  如果您有一半以上的时间一直在进行第一次电话面试，则简历不是问题，无需花费更多时间进行微调。

如果您在通过第一次电话采访时遇到困难，则意味着您谈论自己的经历的方式不那么吸引人。 (If you’re having trouble getting past the first phone interview, it means the way you speak about your experience is not compelling.)

The first phone interview will always have some form of the open ended question, “tell me about your work experience.”

第一次电话面试将始终带有某种形式的开放式问题，“告诉我您的工作经历”。

With this question, the interviewer is trying to get their bearings to quickly understand who you are. From what you tell them, they are trying to come up with a short, concrete way to describe you to remember you. Things like:

带着这个问题，面试官正在设法使他们快速了解自己的身份。 根据您告诉他们的内容，他们正试图提出一种简短，具体的方式来形容您来记住您。 像：

Steve has a non-traditional background, but his most recent experience in email marketing is very relevant to what we’re looking for.

Steve具有非传统背景，但是他在电子邮件营销方面的最新经验与我们所寻找的东西非常相关。

Caitlin has 5 years of industry experience and has closed a variety of business development deals — she’d be a good generalist.

凯特琳(Caitlin)拥有5年的行业经验，并且完成了许多业务开发交易-她将是一名出色的通才。

You want to make it easy for the interviewer to describe how you’re a good fit for the role.

您想让面试官容易地描述您如何适合这个职位。

If you’re not progressing through the first interview, there are two main categories of why the story you’re telling about your work experience is not resonating:

如果您在第一次面试中没有取得进展，那么有两个主要类别可以解释您所讲述的关于工作经历的故事不会引起共鸣：

1. What you’re saying is not resonating. The highlights you bring up are not relevant or substantive enough.

   你的意思是不引起共鸣。 您提出的亮点不够相关或实质性不足。

2. How you’re saying it is not resonating. Your answers are hard to follow, often rambling or lacking a coherent structure.

   你怎么说这并没有引起共鸣。 您的答案很难被理解，经常会杂乱无章或缺乏连贯的结构。

To help with both what and how you’re conveying your answer to, “tell me about your work experience” practice with the 3S’s formula: Statement, Supporting facts, Story.

为了帮助您传达答案的内容和方式，请使用3S的公式“ 陈述我的工作经验”： 陈述，支持事实，故事。

• Statement: say what you do.

  声明：说出你的意思。

• Supporting facts: provide evidence of what you do.

  支持事实：提供 做事的证据。

• Story: short story that paints a picture of how you do what you do.

  故事：简短的故事，描绘了您的工作方式。

One note, make sure you keep your answer short! Aim for 3 minutes or less.

请注意，请确保回答简短！ 瞄准3分钟以内。

Concisely define how you want the interviewer to remember you. The interviewer will follow up with questions if they want to dig deeper. No need to feel like you have to tell your entire work story all at once.

简洁地定义您希望面试官如何记住您。 如果他们想深入了解，面试官会提出后续问题。 无需觉得您必须一次讲述整个工作故事。

Here’s an example answer to “tell me about your work experience?”

这是“告诉我您的工作经历？”的示例答案。

[Statement] I’ve been a product manager at Acme Inc for the past 2 years, focusing on growth.

[声明] 在过去两年中，我一直担任Acme Inc.的产品经理，专注于增长。

[Supporting facts] In the past year, I’ve worked on refining our sign up experience and most recently, I’ve been working to improve our new user onboarding experience.

[支持的事实] 在过去的一年中，我一直在努力完善我们的注册体验，最近，我一直在努力改善新用户的入职体验。

[Story] One highlight has been the new user education animation project I drove. We had data that identified the top three features that help new users to continue to use our app. I worked with the design team to create short animations describing those features as part of the first experience new users see once they sign in. We A/B tested this flow and saw that we increased new user retention by 20%. These animations are now the first things all new users see.

[故事] 我驾驶的新用户教育动画项目是其中的一个亮点。 我们的数据确定了可帮助新用户继续使用我们的应用程序的前三项功能。 我与设计团队合作创建了简短的动画，这些动画描述了这些功能，作为新用户登录后首次体验的一部分。我们A / B测试了此流程，发现我们将新用户保留率提高了20％。 这些动画现在是所有新用户看到的第一件事。

3.现场采访后您没有得到要约吗？ (3. Are you not getting an offer after your on-site interviews?)

If you’re making it to on-site interviews, you’ve got the raw skills and experiences companies are looking for, it’s now a matter of how you package them up.

如果您要进行现场采访，那么您已经具备了公司所寻找的原始技能和经验，那么现在，如何打包它们就成为问题了。

While on-site, you’ll go through a handful of interviews. You’ll have behavioral interviews that will focus on how you handle conflict or work with team members. You might have a social interview over lunch or coffee with a potential teammate to get a feel for how interested you are in the role. You’ll also have interviews that focus in on evaluating specific skills necessary for the role.

在现场时，您将经历一些采访。 您将进行行为访谈，重点是如何处理冲突或与团队成员合作。 您可能会与潜在的队友在午餐或喝咖啡时进行社交面试，以了解您对这个角色的兴趣。 您还将进行访谈，重点是评估角色所需的特定技能。

Overall, the on-site interviews are meant to evaluate if you not only have what it takes to do the job, but also if you you would be successful doing the job at that company.

总体而言，现场面试的目的是评估您是否不仅具有完成这项工作所需的能力，而且还可以评估您是否能够在该公司成功完成这项工作。

如果您在现场访问后仍未获得报价，请花费大部分时间进行模拟采访。 (If you’re not getting offers after making it to on-sites, spend most of your time doing mock interviews.)

It’s hard to generalize why you might not be getting offers if you’re consistently making to final round, on-site interviews. Sometimes, as frustrating as it might be, it might have nothing to do with you. Companies could decide they no longer need the role you’re interviewing for or they may decide it’s better to fill that role internally.

很难一概而论，如果您一直坚持进行最后一轮的现场采访，为什么您可能无法获得要约。 有时，尽管可能令人沮丧，但它可能与您无关。 公司可以决定不再需要您要面试的职位，或者他们可以决定最好在内部担任该职位。

However, the most efficient way to break through the on-site and get an offer is to spend most of your time doing mock interviews.

但是，突破现场并获得要约的最有效方法是花费大部分时间进行模拟面试。

Look back at the on-sites you’ve been to, you’ll probably notice a pattern of the types of questions you’ve been asked. You probably also have a feeling of what questions you’ve answered well and which questions you cringe when you think about how you answered them — focus on those.

回顾一下您去过的现场，您可能会注意到一种被问到的问题类型。 您可能还对以下问题感到满意：当您思考如何回答这些问题时，您会畏缩哪些问题，并畏缩哪些问题-集中精力解决这些问题。

Recruit a friend to do mock interviews asking those questions you’ve struggled through. A few tips on mock interviews:

招募朋友进行模拟面试，询问您所遇到的问题。 模拟面试的一些技巧：

• Pretend like it’s a real interview. This is the most important. Give your friend a list of questions to ask and don’t stop the interview until you get through all the questions. It’s going to feel awkward, especially if you catch yourself stumbling, but push through to the end, it’s the best way you’ll make progress!

  假装这是一次真正的采访。 这是最重要的。 给您的朋友一个问题清单，直到您解决所有问题后再停止采访。 感觉会很尴尬，特别是如果您陷入绊脚石，但坚持到底，这是您取得进步的最佳方式！

• Voice or video record the mock interview. You sound different than what you think you sound like. When you hear yourself answer interview questions, or better yet, hear and see yourself, you immediately pick up on your weaknesses. Rambling stories, repeating filler words (um, like, actually), and slumping body language are common offenders. Even if someone tells you these things, it won’t resonate until you see or hear it yourself.

  语音或视频记录模拟采访。 您听起来与您想像的不同。 当您听到自己回答面试问题，或者更好的是，听到并看到自己时，您会立即意识到自己的弱点。 stories亵的故事，重复的填充词(嗯，就像，实际上)和笨拙的肢体语言是常见的违法者。 即使有人告诉您这些事情，也不会产生共鸣，直到您自己看到或听到为止。

• Practice, practice, practice — with another person! It’s easy to go through interview answers on your own. It’s helpful, but there’s a limit to how much you’ll improve. The answers you’ve written down and repeated to yourself in your head or out loud make sense to you. It becomes totally different when another person is present, even if they’re asking you the same questions you’ve practiced on your own.

  与另一个人一起练习，练习，练习！ 自己完成面试答案很容易。 这很有用，但是您可以提高多少是有限度的。 您写下来的答案在脑海中或大声地对自己重复的答案对您来说很有意义。 当另一个人在场时，情况就完全不同了，即使他们问的是您自己练习过的相同问题。

I know mock interviews can be a pain — awkward, hard to schedule with another person, and time consuming — but it’ll both be the most efficient and effective way to improve your interview skills.

我知道模拟面试会很痛苦—笨拙，难以与他人安排时间并且很费时间—但这两者都是提高面试技巧的最有效方法。
