"I am always surprised how some interviewees tend to trail off towards the end of an interview instead of finishing strong and leaving a lasting impression," says Zachary Rose, CEO and founder of Green Education Services, a green jobs training firm in New York City. Whether you're a senior preparing for campus recruiting or a recent graduate still hunting for a job, here are the TOP questions experts recommend asking at the end of a job interview to leave a great final impression on hiring managers and establish yourself as a TOP candidate.“
在面试结束前的最后几分钟,不少求职者的表现平平,不可以给人留下深刻的印象,这让我非常意料之外。”纽约职场新人培训机构的开创者兼CEO扎卡里·罗斯如此说 。不论参加校园招聘还是社会招聘,都可以根据专家的建议,在面试结束前问几个问题,借此加深给面试官留下的印象。
"Is There Any Reason Why You Wouldn't Hire Me?"
“假如贵公司没录用我,请问会是什么缘由?”
Kelsey Meyer, senior vice president of Digital Talent Agents in Columbia, Mo., says, "A recent candidate asked, 'If you were to not offer the job to me, what would be the reason?' This was extremely straightforward and a little blunt, but it allowed me to communicate any hesitations I had about the candidate before he left the interview, and he could address them right there."
来自密苏里州哥伦比亚市的凯尔西·迈耶,是数字人才代理企业的高级副总裁,她说,“在近期一次面试中,有一位求职者如此问我,‘假如贵公司不计划雇用我,那请问理由是?’这个问题很直接甚至有点生硬,但假如那时候我还没有决定是不是录用这名面试者,那这个问题可以提醒我立刻想了解。”
"This one question is something I would suggest every single candidate ask," adds Meyer. It lets you know where you stand and if you need to clarify anything for the interviewer. "If you have the guts to ask it, I don't think you'll regret it," she says.
因此她建议,“每个面试者都该问问这个问题,只须你有胆量,就绝对不会后悔这个决定。”它不仅能够帮助面试官理清思路,还能帮助求职者愈加明确我们的定位。
Rachel Dotson, content manager for ZipRecruiter.com, says, "All too often you hear about candidates leaving an interview and thinking they aced it, only to get a swift rejection email soon after. Take the time while you're face|to|face to ask about and dispel any doubts that the hiring manager has." Make sure a key asset of yours hasn't been overlooked.
ZipRecruiter招聘网的经理雷切尔·多森也同意这一级建造师议,“面试结束后,不少求职者都自我感觉好,感觉这个职位已经是囊中之物,但不久后却发现自己收到了企业的拒绝信。因此面试时求职者应该当面问了解,打消招聘经理的疑虑。”通过这一问题,大家也可以判断自己是不是已经全方位展示了自己所有些优势。
"As an Employee, How Could I Exceed Your Expectations?"
“作为一名职员,我如何才能超越公司对我的期望?”
Michael B. Junge, a staffing and recruiting industry leader with Irvine Technology Corp. in Santa Ana, Calif., and author of "Purple Squirrel: Stand Out, Land Interviews, and Master the Modern Job Market," says that one of his favorite interview questions is when a candidate takes the lead and asks, "If I were offered this position and joined your company, how would you measure my success and what could I do to exceed your expectations?"
迈克尔·朱安,美国加利福尼亚州圣安娜欧文科技股份公司的资深招聘经理,也是《紫松鼠:从面试中崭露头角,游刃于当今就业市场》一书的作者。他最期望求职者在面试中会问到:“假如我有幸加入贵公司,请问你将怎么样衡量我的工作表现,我如何做才能超越你的期望?”
"The question shows confidence without being overly brash, while also demonstrating that you have an interest in delivering positive results," Junge adds. What's more, the answer you receive can reveal what the interviewer hopes to accomplish by making a new hire, and this information can help you determine whether to accept the position if you get an offer.“
这个问题表明了求职者不卑不亢和积极向上的工作态度。”不只这样,面试官的答案会对你说公司对新职员的期望,也可以助你决定是不是同意这个工作机会。
"How Could I Help Your Company Meet Its Goals?"
“我能为贵公司做出什么贡献?”
Dotson also suggests job candidates ask the interviewer, "How does this position fit in with the short| and long|term goals of the company?" The response to the short|term side of the question gives you further insight into your potential role and helps you tailor the remainder of the discussion and your interview follow|up, she says. "Second, by bringing up long|term goals, you are telling the hiring manager that you're there for the long|run, not just another new grad that is going to follow suit with her peers and job|hop every six months," Dotson says.
多森还建议面试者问面试官,“这个职位对企业的短期和长期进步目的都有哪些贡献?”短期进步目的可以叫你知道这个职位在公司运营中的角色,从而为后面的谈话定好基调。 “第二,在面试中提到长期进步目的,其实就是在暗示招聘经理你有在这家公司长久工作的计划,不会像不少刚毕业的同龄人一样频繁跳槽。”
Junge also recommends that interviewees ask, "What challenges have other new hires faced when starting in similar roles, and what could I do to put myself in a better position to succeed?" He says few students or new grads will ask this question because most haven't witnessed failure. To a hiring manager, this question demonstrates maturity and awareness, and if you're hired, the answers can help you avoid the pitfalls of being new.
朱安还建议求职者向面试官提出如此的问题,“相似职位上的其他新职员都遇见了什么样的挑战,我如何才能做得更好?”他说,在校生或刚毕业的大学生几乎都没历程过失败,所以极少会问这个问题。这个问题向招聘经理展示了你的成熟,告诉面试官你已经对工作中可能要面临的问题有了肯定的认识。被录用后,这个问题的答案也可以帮你更好地适应新环境,防止重蹈覆辙。
"What Excites You about Coming into Work?"
“是什么吸引你加入这家公司呢?”
Murshed Chowdhury, CEO of Infusive Solutions, a specialized staffing firm in New York City, suggests that candidates ask the interviewer, "What excites you about coming into work every day?"
穆尔希德·乔杜里,纽约市一家专业猎头企业的CEO,他建议求职者问面试官,“是什么吸引你到这里工作呢?”
"This is a role reversal question that we often suggest candidates ask," he says. People love the opportunity to talk about themselves, so this question provides an excellent chance to learn about the hiring manager and find ways to establish common ground. "This is also a great opportunity for the candidate to determine whether he/she is excited by the same things that excite the hiring manager to see if the culture is a good fit," Chowdhury adds.
“这是一种换位考虑。”,乔杜里觉得,大家总喜欢谈论跟自己有关的话题,因此这个问题可以帮助求职者加深对招聘经理的认知,并找到一同点。“这个问题也可以帮助求职者判断自己是不是也会像招聘经理一样,喜欢上企业的文化”。
The Bottom Line
结语
Although it is important to provide a great first impression to a potential employer, as well as acing the basics of a job interview, closing the interview strong is just as important.
面试开始时给将来雇主留下好的第一印象固然要紧,善始善终也非常重要。
"Prove to your interviewer that you want this position and you are in this for the right reasons, not simply to fill your day with something to do," Rose says. Ask these questions before you leave, and leave your potential new employer with a great impression.
向你的面试官证明你期望得到这个职位,你不是想混日子而是心怀抱负。面试结束前鼓起勇气问问面试官这类问题,从而给他们留下深刻的印象。
