如果您希望招聘人员认真对待您，请建立强有力的个人叙述。 (If you want recruiters to take you seriously, build a strong personal narrative.)

We’ve all been there. Hunched over a desk. Scrolling through job boards. Looking for some trace of hope that you’ll ever work again.

我们都去过那里。 弯腰伏在桌子上。 滚动工作板。 寻找希望，希望您能再次工作。

At some point you enlist help. And that’s how you end up across the table from a recruiter.

在某个时候，您需要帮助。 这就是您最终从招聘人员到桌子对面的方式。

By virtue of their relationships with employers, recruiters hold a lot of power over your job search. They can decide whether you end up at a rising startup or a fading conglomerate.

凭借与雇主的关系，招聘人员对您的求职拥有很大的权力。 他们可以决定您最终是一家新兴的初创企业还是一家衰落的企业集团。

Whether they’ll flip you to the first company that comes along — or take time to groom you for a better one — often down to one thing: personal narrative.

他们是否会把您带到出现的第一家公司-或花时间为您提供更好的公司-通常取决于一件事：个人叙述。

I sat down with a recruiter to learn more about how they view recent grads, and what grads can do to get an edge in the job market.

我和一名招聘人员坐下来，以了解他们如何看待最近的应聘者，以及应如何做才能在就业市场上取得优势。

Matt’s a recruiter at a sizable design startup in New York. He couldn’t resist kicking off the conversation with a “How’s the job going? Are you happy in your current position?”

马特(Matt)是纽约一家大型设计初创公司的招聘人员。 他忍不住以“工作进展如何？”开始对话。 您现在的位置高兴吗？”

We quickly moved on to what he said is the most overlooked part of the job hunt: shaping your personal narrative.

我们Swift转到他所说的求职过程中最被忽略的部分：塑造您的个人叙述。

第一印象和叙事 (First Impressions and Narratives)

Contrary to what most people assume, an interview — and your narrative — really starts the moment you walk into the office. Everything shapes the first impression you make with your interviewers — from whether you’re early to how you talk to the receptionist.

与大多数人的假设相反，面试以及您的叙述实际上是在您走进办公室的那一刻开始的。 一切都会塑造您对面试官的第一印象-从您是否早起到与接待员的交谈方式。

Psychologist Nicholas Rule described the science of first impressions as a situation that happens almost instantly.

心理学家Nicholas Rule将第一印象的科学描述为几乎立即发生的情况。

“This happens so quickly — just a small fraction of a second — that what we see can sometimes dominate what we know.” — Nicholas Rule

“这发生得如此之快(仅一秒钟的一小部分)，因此我们所看到的有时可以支配我们所知道的。” —尼古拉斯法则

Once you’re in the office, the time to plan out your talking points has passed. By the time you walk into the office, your focus should be on the people in the room instead of the anxiety in your head.

到达办公室后，规划谈话要点的时间就过去了。 当您走进办公室时，您的注意力应该放在房间里的人身上，而不是您头上的焦虑。

One tip that’s always helped me is to visualize the interview before I go to the company’s office. Think over the papers you’ll have in your hand, the clothes you’ll be wearing, how you want to introduce yourself.

一直帮助我的一个技巧是，在我去公司办公室之前，对采访进行可视化处理。 考虑一下您手中的文件，穿的衣服，如何介绍自己。

If you practice this simple visualization trick before you walk into the office, you’ll better-anticipate their questions and be better-prepared to react.

如果您在走进办公室之前练习了这种简单的可视化技巧，则可以更好地预见他们的问题，并为应对做出更好的准备。

它会融合吗？ (Will it blend?)

People often assume that a personal story means how you stand out or what makes you different. That’s certainly part of it.

人们通常认为个人故事意味着您如何脱颖而出或与众不同。 那当然是其中的一部分。

But an often overlooked part of a your story is how you fit into the hiring manager’s narrative for their team, and where the company’s going.

但是，您故事中经常被忽略的部分是您如何适应招聘经理对其团队的描述，以及公司的发展方向。

This is where blending comes into the picture.

这是图片融合的地方。

Before we dive into what blending means from a psychological standpoint, let’s look at it from the physical. Blending really starts with how you look.

在我们从心理学的角度探讨混合的含义之前，让我们从身体的角度进行研究。 融合真的从您的外观开始。

Matt the Recruiter says he’s immediately put off when an applicant goes to a developer interview at a tech company dressed in a suit.

招聘人员马特(Matt the Recruiter)说，当申请人去穿着西装的科技公司接受开发人员面试时，他立即被推迟。

He says such an outfit instantly creates an awkward air for the rest of the interview, because such a professional getup lacks the intimacy factor he’s looking for in a potential team member.

他说，这样的服装会在接下来的采访中立即营造出尴尬的气氛，因为这样的职业经历缺乏他在潜在团队成员中寻找的亲密感。

Unless a suit is the common attire for the rest of the staff, I would opt against wearing your nicest tie to that next interview.

除非西装是其他员工的平常装束，否则我会选择在下一次面试时不穿最好的领带。

文化融合 (Blending in Culturally)

How you look is far from the only aspect of blending, though. Matt the Recruiter talks about the need to fit in from a psychological standpoint as well. He says you need to create a mental image.

但是，您的外观远非融合的唯一方面。 招聘人员马特(Matt Recruiter)也从心理角度谈论了适应的必要性。 他说，你需要创造一个心理形象。

Within the time allotted for the interview, you have to convince the recruiter that you’re the ideal candidate for them to work alongside them 40 hours a week for the next several years.

在分配给面试的时间之内，您必须说服招聘人员，您是他们未来几年每周40小时与他们一起工作的理想人选。

Let’s dive more into what that means.

让我们深入了解这意味着什么。

“Your brand is a story, it’s a story that helps people tell themselves about you. Most of the stories are unfair, prejudice, lack of information and fear… They are never true, nobody knows you as well as you do.” — Seth Godin

“您的品牌是一个故事，这是一个可以帮助人们讲述您自己的故事。 大多数故事都是不公平，偏见，缺乏信息和恐惧……它们从来都不是真的，没有人比你更了解你。” 塞思·戈丁

It’s up to you to shape that story. Seem like someone your interviewer would hang out with. Whatever it is they’re looking for, the story you present should blend into the atmosphere and be vaguely familiar.

由您来决定这个故事。 好像您的面试官会和某人闲逛。 无论他们要寻找的是什么，您呈现的故事都应融入气氛中，并应含糊其词。

For example, I’ve found appealing to an interviewer’s sense of nostalgia works well to quickly build a bond.

例如，我发现吸引面试官的怀旧感可以很好地快速建立起联系。

I can recall numerous times this technique helped me during various job searches — most critically while hunting for my first job out of college.

我回想起无数次，这种技术在各种求职过程中对我有帮助-最关键的是在大学毕业后寻找我的第一份工作。

As a recent college grad, I lacked much in the way of work experience. But I still wanted a prestigious job. So I applied for the World Bank.

作为最近的大学毕业生，我缺乏很多工作经验。 但是我仍然想要一份有声望的工作。 所以我申请了世界银行。

I told myself that if things didn’t go well with this “stretch” position, I could always take the assembly line approach and send out hundreds of emails to less desirable positions and pray for the best.

我告诉自己，如果这种“延展”职位做得不好，我总是可以采用流水线的方法，向不希望的职位发送数百封电子邮件，并祈求最好的。

Before arriving at the World Bank for the interview, I did my homework. I knew that most of the staff was international, with experience on overseas projects, and that it was a largely European crowd.

在到达世界银行接受采访之前，我做了作业。 我知道大多数员工都是国际人员，具有海外项目经验，而且主要是欧洲人群。

Everything I’d heard from people who knew the place was that there was this cavalier adventurous spirit to the people who worked in the World Bank, akin to the Peace Corps or the Foreign Service.

我从知道这个地方的人那里听到的一切都是，对于在世界银行工作的人，就像和平队或外交部一样，这种勇敢的冒险精神。

I knew that in order to stand out, even as an engineer, I needed to mold my story closely to theirs.

我知道，为了脱颖而出，即使是作为工程师，我也需要将自己的故事与他们的故事紧密联系在一起。

Unfortunately, I hadn’t taught English in Chile, built houses in Uganda, or made myself useful on any other adventures. But I had lived overseas in England as a kid, and had the chance to travel. So I made sure throughout my interview to sprinkle that in and to speak on my plans to travel in the future.

不幸的是，我没有在智利教英语，没有在乌干达建房，也没有让自己对任何其他冒险都有用。 但是我小时候住在英国的海外，有机会旅行。 因此，我确保在整个采访中都将其纳入其中，并对未来的旅行计划发表讲话。

I’m convinced to this day that’s what separated me from the many other engineers who applied for the same project.

我坚信到今天，这才使我与申请同一项目的许多其他工程师脱颖而出。

少即是多 (Less is more)

By this point, you’ve done the visualization technique where you envision yourself in the interview. You’ve done the research to understand the culture and mood of the office. You’re a qualified candidate, so you know how to dress. You’re probably pretty qualified to tell your story, too.

至此，您已经完成了可视化技术，可以在面试中设想自己。 您已经完成研究以了解办公室的文化和氛围。 您是合格的候选人，因此您会着装。 您可能也很有资格讲故事。

If you stopped here, you’d be ahead of most candidates. But if you want to really have mastery over your narrative, you must remember: less is more.

如果您在这里停留，您将领先于大多数候选人。 但是，如果您想真正掌握自己的叙述，则必须记住：少即是多。

A study recently done by Michael Norton at Harvard School of Business drove this point home to me.

哈佛商学院的迈克尔·诺顿(Michael Norton)最近进行的一项研究使我明白了这一点。

Before they started the study — which involved rating other people — participants were asked whether having more information about a person would make them more open to liking someone new.

在他们开始进行研究(涉及对其他人进行评级)之前，参与者被问到是否拥有关于某人的更多信息是否会使他们更愿意接受新人。

Unsurprisingly, 88% of people suggested that the more information they had prior, the more likely they would like someone new.

毫不奇怪，有88％的人表示，他们以前拥有的信息越多，他们就越喜欢新人。

But the data showed something very different. The more the participants knew of these perspective people, the lower they rated them.

但是数据显示出很大的不同。 参与者对这些有远见的人了解得越多，他们对他们的评价就越低。

The researchers tried this same study over and over again, even conducting a similar one where the participants were allowed to write down traits about themselves. They took this pool of traits — which were overwhelmingly positive — and divided them up into groups describing hypothetical people.

研究人员一遍又一遍地尝试了同一项研究，甚至进行了类似的研究，允许参与者写下自己的特质。 他们利用了这些特质(绝大多数是积极的)并将其分成描述假想人的群体。

Even in this circumstance where the traits used to describe people were almost all positive ones, people who had a shorter list were generally better liked.

即使在这种用来形容人的特质几乎都是正面特质的情况下，名单较短的人通常也更受欢迎。

What the results of this study seem to imply is that when you leave something up to people’s imagination — and leave more mystery in your story — you’re more likely to leave a positive impression.

这项研究的结果似乎暗示，当您留下人们所能想象的东西时，并在故事中留下更多的神秘色彩时，您更有可能留下积极的印象。

So figure out how to tell your story in as few talking points as necessary. By leaving more to your interviewer’s imagination, you’ll find that employers are more likely to feel the need to call you back.

因此，请尽可能少讲几句话，就可以讲出自己的故事。 通过将更多的精力留给面试官的想象力，您会发现雇主更有可能感到有必要给您回电。

Much of the advice surrounding the process of getting a job is in the form of a series of disparate tips about formatting your cover letter, making the right amount of eye contact, and other pieces of advice that seem to wax and wane with the times.

围绕求职过程的许多建议都以一系列不同的技巧的形式出现，这些技巧涉及格式化求职信，进行适量的目光接触以及其他与时俱增的建议。

But preparing a strong personal narrative is the closest thing that Matt the Recruiter has found to timeless career advice. And it’s certainly worked for me.

但是，准备一份强有力的个人叙述是招聘人员马特发现的与永恒的职业建议最接近的东西。 当然对我有用。
