節(jié)日才是最佳求職時機
|
????4. 感謝曾經幫助過你找工作的所有人。要向聯系人,、招聘人員和你在求職過程中接觸過的其他人表達感激,，節(jié)日賀卡就是一種不錯的方式；這樣一來,，如果他們手頭有任何機會,，馬上就會想到你。 ????5. 參加節(jié)日聚會,。與職業(yè)相關的聚會尤其有益,。E-Executives公司的尤索爾說：“我知道，許多招聘經理會到節(jié)日聚會上尋找人才,?！钡驴怂_斯州南湖市招聘公司A-List Solutions的總裁杰夫·利普舒爾茨補充道，一旦你去參加聚會,，你的目標就應該是去見各種各樣的人。其中可能就會有一位是招聘經理或招聘專員,。 ????6. 自己舉辦聚會,。Job-Hunt.org金融行業(yè)求職專家芭芭拉·薩法尼建議：“節(jié)日期間邀請朋友們來家里，或者去一家餐廳,、面包房或酒吧,，一起用餐，吃點心,，喝咖啡,，或開懷暢飲,。這是一種很有效又非常低調的方式，既可以鍛煉自己的演講能力,，還能與老朋友重新聯絡感情,。他們有可能為你的求職提供幫助?！?/p> ????說到聚會,，《新年新工作！》一書中的一個章節(jié)提到了失業(yè)者怎樣在聚會上應對讓人難堪的話題,。菲利斯·莫夫森是Job-Hunt.org一位擅長幫助“嬰兒潮”一代求職的職業(yè)導師,，他說：“針對你害怕的問題，不妨預先準備一些‘自我保護式答案’,?！北热纾绻腥苏f：“你失業(yè)了,，真糟糕,。你過得還好吧？”你可以這樣回答：“我原先的工作很好,，但能找一些新途徑發(fā)揮我的才能,，我非常興奮。謝謝關心,?！比缓螅言掝}引到其他不太尷尬的話題,。 ????Job-Hunt.org的喬伊斯補充說：“不必遮遮掩掩,，也不用道歉。你沒做錯任何事情,，畢竟,，失業(yè)只是臨時狀態(tài)。這并不是真正的你,?！?/p> ????反饋：你是否在節(jié)日期間找到過工作，或在年終進行過招聘,？歡迎評論,。 ????譯者：劉進龍/汪皓 |
????4. Thank everyone who has helped you in your job search so far.?Holiday cards are a great way to express appreciation to networking contacts, recruiters, and anyone else you've been in touch with about your job hunt -- and to stay on their radar screens for opportunities they may know about right now. ????5. Go to holiday parties.?Professional-association get-togethers are particularly helpful. "I know hiring managers who go to holiday parties looking for people to hire," says e-Executives' Urschel. Once you get there, adds Jeff Lipschultz, president of Southlake, Texas, recruiting firm A-List Solutions, "make it your goal to meet all the people there. Any one of them could be a hiring manager or a recruiter." ????6. Throw your own party.?"Invite friends for dinner, cookies, coffee, or a glass of holiday cheer at your home or in a restaurant, bakery, or bar," suggests Barbara Safani, Job-Hunt.org's finance industry job search expert. "This is a great, low-key way to practice your pitch and reconnect with people who may be able to help you with your search." ????Speaking of parties,?New Year, New Job!?includes a chapter about handling the party chitchat that tends to make unemployed people uncomfortable. "Prepare what I call 'Teflon' answers to questions you dread," says Phyllis Mufson, a career coach at Job-Hunt.org who specializes in helping Baby Boomers find new jobs. An example of a Teflon answer: If someone says, "It's so awful that you got laid off. How are you?" you can reply, "My old job was great, but I'm excited to find new ways to use my skills. Thanks for your concern." Then steer the conversation to less awkward ground. ????"Don't hide, and don't apologize," adds Job-Hunt.org's Joyce. "You've done nothing wrong, and anyway, unemployment is a temporary state. It's not who you are." ????Talkback:?Have you ever found a job during the holiday season, or hired someone at year-end?
