3大骨头炖什么好吃 Had he called anyone at Mackay Envelope Corporation to find out more about us? No. Had he called our suppliers? Our customers? No.

亚丁天气自己经营公司的哈维 麦凯经常对求职者进行面试。 文中他告诉我们关于雇主看重什么样品质的秘密,并提出4点建议,帮助你在众人当中脱颖而出。
得到你想要的工作
哈维·B.麦凯
1 我经营着一家有350名左右员工的制造公司,我本人常常要对求职者进行面试,决定是否聘
用。 我喜欢与可能成为销售人员的人交谈, 因为他们是我们与顾客联系的纽带。
2 不久前一个新近毕业的大学生到我办公室来谋求一份销售工作。 我问他为这次面试做过哪些准备。 他说他在什么地方看到过有关本公司的一些情况。
3 他有没有给麦凯信封公司的人打过电话,好更多了解本公司的情况?没打过。 他有没有给我们的供应厂商打过电话? 还有我们的客户? 都没有。
4 他可曾在就读的大学里查问过有没有校友在本公司就职,以便向他们了解一些情况?他可曾请朋友向他提问,对他进行模拟面试? 可曾去图书馆查找过有关本公司的剪报?
5 Did he write a letter beforehand to tell us about himlf, what he was doing to prepare for the interview and why he’d be right for the job? Was he planning to follow up the inter-view with another letter indicating his eagerness to join us? Would the letter be in our hands within 24 hours of the meeting , possibly even hand-delivered?
6 The answer to every question was the same: no. That left me with only one other question: How well prepared would this person be if he were to call on a prospective cust
omer for us? I already knew the answer.
7 As I e it, there are four keys to getting hired:
8 1.Prepare to win."If you miss one day of practice, you notice the difference, "the saying goes among musicians. 理想的作用"If you miss two days of practice, the critics notice the difference. If you miss three days of practice, the audience 堆雪人的英语notices the difference."
9 When we watch a world-class musician or a top athlete, we don't e the years of preparation that enabled him or her to become great. The Michael Jordans of the world have talent, yes, but they're also the first ones on and the last ones off the basketball court. The same preparation applies in every form of human endeavor. If you want the job, you have to prepare to win it.
5 他事先有没有写封信来介绍自己, 告诉我们自己为这次面试在做哪些准备,自己何以能胜任此项工作? 面试之后他是否打算再写一封信 表明自己加盟本公司的诚意? 这封信会不会在面试后的24小时之内送到我们手上,也许是辛自送来?
6 他对上述每一个问题的回答全都一样:没有。这栏我就只剩一个问题要问了:如果此人代表本公司去见可能成为我们客户的人,他准备工作会做得怎样?答案不言自明。
7 在笔者看来,如欲被聘用,应注意四个要诀:
8 1.准备去赢。“一日不练,自己知道,”音乐家中有这样的说法。 “两日不练,音乐评论家知道。三日不练观众知道。”
9 我们在观看世界级音乐家或顶尖运动员的表演时,看到的并不是使他们成为出类拔萃人物的长年苦练。世界上诸如迈克尔 ·乔丹这样的顶尖人物无疑具有非凡才能,但他们在篮球场上也是第一个到,最后一个走。同样的苦练适用于人类的各项活动。 若想被聘用,就要准备去赢。
10 When I graduated from college, the odds were good that I would have the same job for the rest of my life. And that's how it worked out. But getting hired is no longer a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Employment experts believe that today's graduates could face as many as ten job changes during their careers.
11 豆角炒牛肉 That may sound like a lot of pressure. But if you're prepared, the pressure is on the other folks-the ones who haven't done their homework.
12 You won't get every job you go after. The best sales- People don't clo every sale. Michael Jordan makes barely half of his field-goal attempts. But it takes no longer to prepare well for one interview than to wander in half-prepared for five. And your prospects for success will be many times better.
13 2. Never stop learning. Recently I played a double.陈子安饼屋 tennis match paired with a 90-year-old.I wondered how things would work out; I shouldn't have. We hammered our opponents 6-1,6-1!
14 As we were switching sides to play a third t, he said to me, “Do you mind if I play the backhand court? I always like to work on my weakness."What a fantastic example of a person who has never stopped learning. Incidentally, we won the third t 6-1.
15 As we walked off the court, my 90-year-old partner chuckled and said, "I thought yo
u'd like to know about my number-one ranking in doubles in the United States in my age bracket,85 and up!”He wasn't thinking 90; he wasn't 加强领导even thinking 85.He was thinking number one.
