Folks, with layoffs mounting, gas prices surreal, mortgage defaultson the rise, the stock market in a swoon, and much of the worldstaggered by truly awful weather of one kind or another, we could alluse a good laugh right about now. Executives at 1,000 big U.S.companies, plus 100 in Canada recalled the most embarrassing or bizarre interview moments they had witnessed or heard of. A sampling of their answers:
伙計(jì)們，失業(yè)人數(shù)在增加，油價(jià)高得可怕，房屋抵押貸款違約現(xiàn)象在增長(zhǎng)，股市低迷，世界很多地區(qū)遭受著不是這種就是那種相當(dāng)惡劣的氣候的影響，而我們現(xiàn)在能做的也只能是開懷大笑一下吧。1000 家美國(guó)大公司外加100家加拿大大公司的巨頭們回憶了他們親眼所見的或聽說的讓人最囧或讓人噴飯的面試時(shí)刻。下面是他們的一些只言片語：
“The person was dancing during the interview. He kept saying things like, ‘I love life!’ and ‘Oh, yeah!’”
“One job applicant camein for his interview with a cockatoo on his shoulder�！�
“The candidate sent his sister to interview in his place�！�
“The candidate stopped the interview to ask me if I had a cigarette�！�
“We had one person who walked out of an interview straight into a glass door. The glass shattered�！�
“The candidate got his companies confused and repeatedlymentioned the strengths of a competing firm, thinking that was who hewas interviewing with�！� “A guy called me by the wrong name during the entire interview�！�
“We’re a retail company, and when we asked the candidate whyshe wanted to work for us, she replied that she didn’t want to work inretail anymore�！� “An interviewee took his bubble gum out of his mouthand held it in his hand. Then he forgot about it and shook hands withme�！� “A job seeker gestured with his hands so much that he then sat on them to stop it�！�
“A candidate fell asleepduring the interview�！�
“An applicant was doing really well in the interview until wegot to the question about why she had left her previous job. She toldus everyone there was out to get her。”
“A candidate insulted the interviewer’s tie。”
“那個(gè)人在面試過程中一直在手舞足蹈，他不斷說些‘我愛生活！’和‘哦，耶！’之類的話�！�
“有個(gè)求職者肩膀上放著一只美冠鸚鵡就來面試了�！�
“ 有個(gè)求職者讓他姐姐來替他面試。”
“有個(gè)求職者打斷了面試，問我有沒有煙抽�！�
“我們面試過的一個(gè)人面試完之后徑直走出去撞到了玻璃門上。玻璃都碎了。”
“有個(gè)求職者把面試人員說得暈頭轉(zhuǎn)向，這人不斷提到一家對(duì)手公司的強(qiáng)項(xiàng)，還以為那就是正在面試他的公司呢�！�
“有個(gè)家伙在整個(gè)面試過程中都叫錯(cuò)了我的名字。”
“我們是一家零售公司，當(dāng)我們問及候選人為何想為我們做事的時(shí)候，她說自己再也不想做零售了。”
“一個(gè)應(yīng)試者把泡泡糖從嘴里拿出來攥在手里。后來他忘了這回事，直接和我握了手。”
“一個(gè)求職者太能打手勢(shì)了，以至于后來他得把手塞在屁股底下壓住才能停住�！�
“有個(gè)求職者在面試過程中睡著了。”
“有個(gè)申請(qǐng)人的面試進(jìn)行得非常好，直到我們問及她為何離開上一份工作。她說，那里的每個(gè)人都跟她過不去�！�
“有個(gè)求職者嘲笑面試官的領(lǐng)帶�！�
Okay, so these are obviously dumb moves – but what if somethinghappens that falls into the category of plain bad luck? A few of thehiring managers mentioned candidates who suddenly fell ill during aninterview. One hapless candidate had cut his lip shaving (alas, the cutopened up while he was talking and bled throughout the interview –ouch!). Handling problems gracefully may actually impressinterviewers, but if the situation can’t be overcome, move on and focuson the next opportunity. It’s a learning experience that will somedaymake an entertaining story. If you can bear to recall it。
好了， 這些很明顯都是些愚蠢的舉動(dòng)，不過，萬一發(fā)生的某些事純屬不幸，又該怎么辦呢？有幾個(gè)面試經(jīng)理提到有些求職者在面試過程中突然身體不適。有個(gè)倒霉的求職者刮胡子的時(shí)候割傷了嘴唇(哎，傷口在他談話的時(shí)候裂開了， 面試結(jié)束時(shí)血還沒止住——哎喲！)
優(yōu)雅地處理問題也許真能讓面試官印象深刻，不過，如果實(shí)在控制不了局面， 那就往前看， 把精力放在下一次機(jī)會(huì)上。這是一條學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，日后也會(huì)成為一則笑料—— 如果你有勇氣回想的話。
