Why Interviewers’ Behavior Matters
逃之夭夭的面試者
A job interview is not only an opportunity for a company to know more about an applicant, but also the other way around.
面試不只是讓公司更了解面試者,也是一個讓應徵者更了解公司的機會。
opportunity(n.)時機applicant(n.)應徵者the other way around相反地、顛倒過來地
It’s important to observe the interviewers’ behavior, which could help one get to know the people one might be working with once he or she accepts the offer.
觀察面試官的行為相當重要,可以讓面試者進一步了解進入公司後共事的對象風格是如何。
observe(v.)觀察=watch carefullyget to know ab.更了解某人=know more about sb.
First up, there are some interviewers who are “abusive,” meaning that they tend to show disrespect for or humiliate the interviewee during an interview.
首先,有些面試官屬於「虐待型」面試官,常常不尊重或羞辱面試者。
abusive(adj.)辱罵的、虐待的abusive languageabusive behaviordisrespect(n.)(v.)不尊重show disrespect for sb.對某人不尊重humiliate(v.)羞辱
Such interviewers may refute every single answer that the applicant gives while blurting out disparaging comments on everything.
這類面試官可能會反駁面試者所回答的任何答案,並且脫口說出貶損一切事情的言論。
refute(v.)駁斥、否認某事的正確性或真實性refute a theoryrefute a rumorblurt out sth.脫口而出某事、不假思索說出某事disparaging(adj.)貶損的、貶低的
Although the behavior may be intended to prepare a prospective colleague for potential stress at work, it might deter the candidates from considering accepting the offer.
儘管這種行為可能是為了讓潛在新人對於工作上可能會的壓力有所預備,卻也可能讓面試者逃之夭夭。
be intended to…目的是…、為了…prospective(adj.)潛在的、可能成為的deter sb. from + N or Ving讓某人不敢…
Secondly, some interviewers are “authoritarian.” They believe their knowledge and position are superior to the job seeker and cannot be challenged at all.
其次,有些面試官是「權威型」面試官。他們認為自己的知識及位階比應徵者來得優越,而且不容挑戰。
authoritarian(adj.)獨裁的、專制的(n.)獨裁者an authoritarian regimebe superior to…比…優越
Authoritarians are often confident about their skillset and regard their way of working as the best. If you propose ideas that contradict their work patterns, they might flip out and try to direct you back onto their track.
權威者通常對自己的專業能力很有自信,並且認為自己的做事方式是最好的。如果你提出的想法不符合他們的工作模式,他們可能會勃然大怒並且想把你導回「正軌」。
skillset(n.)工作能力propose(v.)提議、提出contradict(v.)與某事衝突、牴觸某事pattern(n.)模式、方式flip out臉色大變、勃然大怒track(n.)軌道、思路、思維方式
Such interviewers might be suitable for subordinates who like detailed instructions without having to think on their own, but not so much for people who enjoy autonomy at work.
這種類型的面試官可能適合不喜歡自己思考,而喜歡接受仔細指導的部屬,但對於喜歡自主工作的人來說就沒那麼適合。
such(adj.)如此的、這樣的be suitable for…適合…的instruction(n.)指示、指令autonomy(n.)自主性
Overall, as a job interview is a good occasion to observe first-hand a company and the prospective co-workers, one might want to exchange as many ideas and opinions as possible with the interviewer before taking the job.
總歸來說,因為面試是能第一手觀察一家公司及未來同事的好時機,你可能會想盡量交換意見及想法再決定是否接受這份工作。
overall(adv.)總體來說地occasion(n.)場合first-hand(adv.)第一手地、直接地
