面试“逃跑”的六个理由

　　3) You're sent a questionnaire (not a job application) or online test to complete before you've had any human contact with the employer, including a phone call.
　　在和雇主进行任何接触之前（包括电话），就要求你填写一份调查问卷（不是申请表）或在线测试。

　　When a company makes its selection process more efficient by shoving tests in your face before so much as chatting with you, they're sharing their views on reciprocity. "Prove to us that you're worth our time" is not the message that a talent-aware employer sends to the talented people applying to use their talents on its behalf. Reciprocity works in the same that permission-based marketing does; you give something to get something at every step in the process. A smarter company will chat with you, answer your questions about the job, and then ask, "Would you mind filling out our questionnaire, as the next step in the process? Can I answer any questions for you, to help you feel comfortable investing more time in our company?"

　　当公司还没有和你说一句话，就让你做测试来提高选拔过程效率，他们表达的是“互惠”。“向我们证明你值得我们花时间”不是一位有人才意识的雇主会给那些想要申请来发挥才干的人发出的讯息；“互惠”和基于许可的行销的运作方式是同样的，在这个过程中每一步你都要给出某样东西来获得某样东西。聪明的公司会先和你交谈，回答你有关工作的问题，然后再问：“下一步你介意为我们填写调查问卷吗？我能为你在让您为我们公司投入更多时间上提供任何问题的解答吗？”

　　4) Unreasonable or short notice to travel for interview.
　　通知你在不合理的时间或很短的时间内面试。

　　The Vortex becomes more powerful over time, and many a job seeker has called me excitedly to report, "They're flying me to New York City, tomorrow," without stopping to think: "Wait a second, they didn't ask me whether it was convenient for me to fly to New York City, now that I think about it." I know of one situation in which a candidate was pressured to fly to the company's headquarters on his wife's birthday. He was told, "If this isn't a priority for you, it isn't a priority for us, either." He wavered for an hour or two before telling them: "If my personal life and my most important relationship aren’t important to you, I don't want to work for you." If they really want you, they can wait a day or two.

　　“漩涡”会越来越强，许多求职者兴奋地对我说：“他们明天用飞机把我接去纽约面试。”这些人没有停下来想一想：“等等，现在我想到了，他们没有问过我飞去纽约对我来说方不方便。”我知道有一个故事，应聘人被要求在妻子生日那天赶去公司总部。他被告知：“如果工作对你不重要，那么你的工作对我们也不重要。”他考虑了一两个小时，然后告诉他们：“如果我的个人生活和我最重要的关系对你来说不重要，那么我也不想为你工作。”如果公司真想聘用你，他们可以等上一两天。
