应聘到了尾声,会出现两种状况:一种是对你说等待消息,一般在大型招聘的时候应聘官都会这么说;另一种就是现场决定需不需要聘用你了,无论聘用与否都请记得必须要维持礼貌。且看下面两位是怎么样应付这两种状况的。
Dialogue 1
Watt1: Since there are other applicants2 on the line, we can't let you know our decision yet until all of them have had their chance to be interviewed.
Ann: Fair enough, I am willing3 to wait until you have come to a decision.
Watt: We will let you know probably next Tuesday. I hope to give you a positive reply.
Ann: Thank you, I will be glad to hear that.
Notes:
1. 应聘要结束了,考官说在所有应聘者都同意了应聘之后才能给出回话,这是非常自然的,也是必经的程序,你要表示谅解。
2. 是的,这也是为了公平起见。Come to a decision,得出结论,有结果,等于make a decision.
3. 一般考官都会对你说应聘回话的最后期限,这期间里你就要耐心等待了。不要逼问考官应聘的结果,这个时候只须做到自信,礼貌就非常不错了。
Dialogue 2
Watt: How long have you been this city?
Jenny: about three months.
Watt: Have you worked as a receptionist4?
Jenny: No, but I think I am a fast learner.
Watt: Well, your English is very good. I have noticed that. But the problem is my receptionist must have local knowledge as well. People call us up not just to order meals. They often ask questions about travel, entertainment5, etc. so I have to say I can't offer you the job.
Jenny: That's all right. Thank you for your time. Good-bye.
Watt: Bye.
Notes:
1. 这段对话中的应聘结果是在结束应聘的时候给出的。Jenny想去面试接待员的职位,但她的一些条件不符合工作的需要。
2. 有什么条件呢?接待员需要对当地的餐饮,旅游,娱乐等等项目很熟知,但Jenny才来了三个月,一定是不可以的,尽管Jenny表示自己是一个fast learner,也就是学东西非常快,但Watt先生还是没雇佣她。
3. I have to say I can't offer you the job. 也就是我还是不可以雇佣你。这个时候要表现的非常大度,thank you for your time,谢谢你花浪费时间间来应聘我。这里也能看出的职业素养。
