為何實習(xí)機(jī)會那么不公平？

"I have been trying to get an internship and the process has baffled me. People with contacts in big companies have an unfair advantage even though they are not that skilled. I tried to approach my alumni regarding referrals but to no avail."

“我一直在尋找實習(xí)機(jī)會，但是這個過程讓我飽受打擊。那些認(rèn)識大公司里的員工的人擁有了不公平的優(yōu)勢即使他們能力并不強(qiáng)。我嘗試與我的校友聯(lián)系以獲得推薦，但毫無答復(fù)。”

No process of hiring is completely fair. That's the truth and the sooner you accept it the better you can prepare yourself.

實際上，沒有任何一個招聘的過程是完全公平的，關(guān)鍵在于你越早接受這個現(xiàn)實你就能越快裝備自己。

Every organisation has its own recruitment process and it's wrong on your part to call everyone's process unfair. People with contacts in big companies do have advantage but I don't think that's unfair. They have devoted their time networking with employees of big companies.

每家公司機(jī)構(gòu)都有其自己的招聘流程，所以你認(rèn)為每個人的招聘流程都不公平是不對的。沒錯，認(rèn)識大公司里的員工確實是一個優(yōu)勢但我并不認(rèn)為那是不公平的。因為他們也付出了自己的時間與大公司的員工打交道。

Even though there are some people who get internships with contacts, BUT, let me tell you this:

即使有人因為認(rèn)識大公司里的員工而獲得實習(xí)機(jī)會，但我會告訴你：

No Big company will hire someone for the sole reason that they are recommended.

沒有任何一家大公司會因為單一的推薦理由而雇用一個人。

In case of jobs, the contacts can only take you up to the interview table, you have to prove yourself there.

就求職招聘來說，聯(lián)系人只能幫助你進(jìn)入面試階段，余下的步驟還得靠你自己證明自己的實力。

There might be some exceptions where the recommendations work, but it is not significant in proportion.

也許確實有例外，推薦人的幫助會產(chǎn)生影響，但這并不影響招聘的比例。

Don't let that feeling depress you, and stop you from trying.

別讓這種消極的感覺影響和阻礙你。

Remember, getting an internship is NOT the only thing that matters.

請謹(jǐn)記，獲得實際機(jī)會并不是唯一的決定因素。

Those who get from recommendation and without talent would eventually find it too tough to bear, and would eventually drop off, or under-perform.

那些只有推薦優(yōu)勢沒有個人實力的人最終會遭人嫌棄，也許最終就會淘汰，或工作表現(xiàn)糟糕。

You can always get good internships, if you have a good enough profile, interesting skills and good commitment.

如果你有一份足夠出色的個人履歷，過人的特長以及良好信用，你總能獲得好的實習(xí)機(jī)會。

If you didn't get an internship somewhere, it means something else, something better is waiting for you.

如果你無法獲得某家公司的實習(xí)機(jī)會，那就意味著其他的機(jī)會，更好的機(jī)會正在等著你。

Some people are lucky to have a close relative in a big company but in the long run your luck will help you also in some situations. So it's all even. Networking is essential to get good referrals.

有些人很幸運(yùn)，有親友在大公司里工作，但從長遠(yuǎn)來看，你的運(yùn)氣也會在這些場合里給你發(fā)揮重要作用。所以，這就打平了。社交聯(lián)系是獲取好的推薦人是必要因素。

Here are some tips you can follow to improve your networking skills:

下面給你一些小貼士，你可以根據(jù)這些小貼士提高自己的社交聯(lián)系技巧：

Use LinkedIn.

So, getting a good internship is not based you don’t have someone who works in a Big company, isbecause you have to accept the fact that there might be this kind of “unfair” phenomenon. And all you have to do is better yourself, build up useful network, and perform well in the interview. Good luck!
