What employers are looking for obviously varies from job to job, but many businesses like hiring recent graduates for one or more of the following reasons. Remember these advantages when putting together your resume and preparing for interviews。
職業(yè)的不同,老板需要的員工也不盡相同。但很多公司喜歡以下列原因聘請應屆生。記著把這些優(yōu)點寫進簡歷,好好為面試做準備吧。
1.You Understand a Valuable Demographic That Is Hard to Reach
1.你了解同齡人的想法
Nearly all businesses and non-profit organizations want to capture the attention and wallets of the consumer demographic you belong to, 18- to 24-year-olds. But they often struggle to understand the demographic’s mindset, motivations, purchasing behaviors, and communication styles. Having someone like you who’s in the demographic can help the company to design products, craft messaging, and deliver delightful customer experiences to this important target audience。
基本上所有的公司以及非營利組織都希望吸引18至24歲客戶的眼球和錢包。但是他們往往不了解這個年齡段的人到底在想些什么,想要什么,有什么購買習慣以及交流方式。有你這個年齡段的員工,可以幫助公司設計產(chǎn)品,編寫信息,以及給重要的目標客戶傳達有用的客戶體驗。
2.Technology and Social Media Is Part of Your DNA
2.熟悉技術(shù)和社交媒體
Businesses want to reach prospects, customers, employees, and vendors through technology. Senior execs realize that there is untapped potential in Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Yelp, mobile apps, etc. But they may not know the most effective ways to use these tools. As someone who has most likely grown up with computers and other technology, you intuitively grasp how to use things like social media that can confuse older generations。
公司都希望通過科技來滿足客戶、員工以及賣家的期望。老員工意識到facebook,推特,pinterest,yelp以及手機app這一系列的平臺有著無盡的潛力,但是他們并不知道如何有效地利用它們。但對于你這樣在電腦和科技中長大的年輕人來說,如何利用這些傳媒的運作幾乎是你的本能,而老員工卻對這些愛莫能助。
3.You Are Willing to Take Risks
3.你愿意冒險
As businesses innovate and experiment with new ways of doing business, they need team members who are eager to contribute and willing to take on projects with uncertain outcomes. The ability to learn from failure is particularly valuable。
當公司準備開拓和嘗試新的運營方法時,他們需要有奉獻精神的團隊來承擔一些收入未知但風險較大的項目。即使失敗了,若能夠從中吸取教訓,也是十分難得的。
4.You Are a Blank Slate in Terms of Company Knowledge
4.對于公司的知識來說,你就說一張白紙
Many managers prefer to hire people who they can shape to thrive in a unique environment. In the past, they may have become frustrated with seemingly qualified employees who were too bound to standard industry practices and business models. Your lack of experience means that you can easily adopt your new employer’s way of doing business。
很多經(jīng)理都希望雇傭那些能輕易塑造的人才以便適應不同的環(huán)境。過去,他們對那些看起來老資歷的員工感到十分頭疼,這些人都被產(chǎn)業(yè)的規(guī)則和公司模式限制得太死,毫無改變的余地了。然而對于缺乏經(jīng)驗的你而言,可以輕易地適應新老板處理事物的方式。
5.You Aren’t Afraid to Ask Questions
5.你不怕問問題
Long-time employees may think that asking questions reveals inadequacies, so they often keep quiet. And when you ask questions, your boss generally really appreciates it. Asking questions demonstrates you are eager to learn, have wrestled with an issue (rather than ignoring it), desire to have a deep understanding。
大部分員工都覺得問問題就表明自己某方面有不足,所以寧愿保持沉默。但當你問問題的時候,老板通常會很贊賞。問問題就表明你愿意學習,真的重視這個問題(而沒有忽略它),希望能有更深的理解。
6.Travel Is Exciting to You
6.你熱愛到處走走
Many entry-level positions involve extensive travel. Such jobs may require long hours in the field not only during the typical workweek but also on the weekend. Further, there may be an expectation that you show enthusiasm and effectively represent the company to consumers, vendors, and colleagues on these visits. When you're young (and likely haven't started a family yet), traveling is a lot easier and more likely to be seen as a fun adventure rather than an inconvenience。
很多初級部門的員工都需要出差。這也許會要求你花大量的時間到處奔波,不僅工作日,周末也是如此。并且公司還會希望你能對客戶,買家以及同事給予最大的熱情。年輕的時候(還沒成家),出差很方便。而且出差對于你來說,似乎更多的是冒險的好機會而不是麻煩事。
7.Relocation Is Not a Problem
7.換職位也沒問題
Employers may have difficulty attracting employees to certain locations. Hiring managers may have tried to extend job offers that were rejected because candidates did not want to uproot themselves and their families. As a new grad, you may be more likely to move for a decent opportunity. Plus, you can accept changing locales multiple times early in your career to gain valuable experiences。
老板們總會對把員工放在哪個崗位上感到十分頭疼。當員工不愿與家人分開而拒絕工作邀請時,老板便不得不放寬限制。作為一名新人,你要表現(xiàn)出對機會的渴望,并且愿意接受任何職位的變動來獲得更多的經(jīng)驗。
