幫別人找工作也能提高自己的求職成功率

建立社交網(wǎng)

Helping others with their searches builds a personal network in many ways. First, the job seeker doing the helping will often rebuild her own network in the process. It is common for the helping job seeker to recall more contacts by thinking through someone else's problem than she can for herself: "Oh, if you want to meet people at a Fortune 500 company in Dallas, you should meet with X, Y and Z."

幫別人找工作其實(shí)也是在建立自己的人際關(guān)系，這表現(xiàn)在很多方面。首先，求職者在幫助別人找工作的過(guò)程中往往會(huì)重新建立自己的人際關(guān)系。通過(guò)思考別人而非自己的問(wèn)題，助人者可回想起更多的聯(lián)系人："哦，如果你想在達(dá)拉斯結(jié)識(shí)財(cái)富500強(qiáng)公司的員工，那你可以聯(lián)系肖某某、楊某某和張某某。"

Likewise, many job seekers are more comfortable reaching out for altruistic purposes than they are for selfish ones. "Please meet my friend Becky, who is a great senior accountant" is much easier to ask than "Please meet with me because I need a job."

同樣地，很多求職者更傾向于從利他而非利己角度出發(fā)幫助他人。"見見我的朋友貝基吧，她是一位優(yōu)秀的高級(jí)會(huì)計(jì)師"比"請(qǐng)和我聊聊，因?yàn)槲倚枰环莨ぷ?quot;更容易說(shuō)出口。

Clarifying Personal and Professional Goals

明確個(gè)人和職業(yè)目標(biāo)

Clear goals are critical but usually absent in most job searches. Candidates often confusevague statements like "I seek a good job that will pay me what I am worth" with laser-focused but flexible elevator pitches.

明確的目標(biāo)至關(guān)重要，但很多求職者卻往往缺乏這一點(diǎn)。求職者往往將含糊其辭的說(shuō)法"我想找份好工作，一份讓我實(shí)現(xiàn)價(jià)值的工作"與精神高度集中但又靈活自如的電梯游說(shuō)相混淆。

When one meets with other job seekers, it becomes apparent just how unhelpful and frustrating unclear or general targets can be. If a job seeker spends time networking with other candidates and helping them with their needs, he may realize how else he can define his own needs by hearing descriptions of positions, skill sets or ambitions that resonate.

遇到另一位求職者時(shí)，你就會(huì)明白目標(biāo)不明確或目標(biāo)太籠統(tǒng)其實(shí)并無(wú)任何益處，而且還會(huì)讓人感到沮喪。若求職者花時(shí)間與其他求職者社交、幫助他們確定目標(biāo)，那他也可能在聽取別人對(duì)職位、技能或抱負(fù)的描述中產(chǎn)生共鳴，并在此過(guò)程中確定自己的目標(biāo)。

Gratitude

感恩

A sense of gratitude is the foundational feeling for happiness. In an emotionally taxing job search, it is especially valuable. Conversely, a dispirited lack of personal agency can derail any job search with dark thoughts of despair.

感恩是幸福的基本感受。在情緒焦躁的求職過(guò)程中，感恩尤為可貴。相反，缺乏感恩之心會(huì)以絕望的陰郁思想搞砸求職。

Helping other job seekers will inspire the first seeker with resilience but also remind him how much he has going for him. It is a sad fact of the human condition that someone else always has it worse. As such, you might leave a meeting with another job candidate with a sense of relief or gratitude about your own more favorable circumstances. From time to time, this healthy sense of perspective can help get a job search back on track.

助人者也會(huì)巧用恢復(fù)力激勵(lì)求職者，提醒他還需要準(zhǔn)備什么?？傆腥诉^(guò)得更糟，這是一個(gè)可悲的事實(shí)。因此，也許你的確把求職機(jī)會(huì)留給了另一位求職者，因?yàn)槟惚人?她享有更有利的條件，但這種健康視角也會(huì)時(shí)不時(shí)的給你帶來(lái)工作機(jī)會(huì)。
