同时被三个面试官面试_工作面试官犯的5个错误

同时被三个面试官面试

As a developer who started his career many years ago, I’ve been interviewed a few times now. As many who have gone through this process have surely done, following every interview I take the time to think about what happened during the interview. Among other things, I reason about what I liked and what I disliked during the process, and what my interviewer did. I think it’s very important to do this, as in the end the developer will have a better idea of the company and its culture, and whether the company met your expectations.

作为多年前开始他的职业生涯的开发人员，我已经接受过几次采访。 正如已经经历了这个过程的许多人肯定会做的那样，每次面试之后，我都会花时间考虑一下面试中发生的事情。 除其他事项外，我要说明在此过程中我喜欢什么，不喜欢什么以及面试官做了什么。 我认为这样做非常重要，因为最终开发人员将对公司及其文化以及公司是否达到您的期望有更好的了解。

People usually apply for companies they know and like, but following an interview it can turn out that a given company isn’t a good fit for him or her. It’s possible that this result can be due to you, the interviewer, making a mistake or two during the interview process.

人们通常会申请自己熟悉和喜欢的公司，但是在面试之后，事实证明给定的公司并不适合他或她。 此结果可能是由于您(面试官)在面试过程中犯了一两个错误。

In this article I’ll run through 5 mistakes, some taken from my personal experience, that you can work to avoid to give the candidate a good impression and avoid the risk of losing a potential employee.

在本文中，我将经历5个错误，这些错误是从我的亲身经历中得出的，您可以努力避免给应聘者以良好的印象，并避免失去潜在雇员的风险。

1.不要重叠约会 (1. Don’t overlap appointments)

In my opinion, this is one of the biggest mistakes a company can make. Apart from very small companies, the interview process is usually quite long and involves a decent amount of time, sometimes up to few months. A company I once applied for, asked me to complete a test to verify my programming skills. The test consisted of developing a working web page that used third-party APIs. The task itself wasn’t very difficult to complete but doing it perfectly (you want to show the best of you, don’t you?) required several hours. I passed this step and the company invited me to an on-site, one-hour interview.

我认为，这是公司可能犯的最大错误之一。 除了规模很小的公司以外，面试过程通常很长，而且要花费相当长的时间，有时甚至长达几个月。 我曾经申请的一家公司要求我完成测试以验证我的编程技能。 该测试包括开发一个使用第三方API的有效网页。 任务本身并不是很难完成，但是要完美地完成(您想表现出自己的最好水平，不是吗？)需要几个小时。 我通过了这一步骤，公司邀请我参加了一个小时的现场采访。

Once there, 25 minutes after the interview started the interviewer informed me that we’d have to wrap it up in 5 minutes as there was another meeting booked for the room. Once the interview was over I was upset because I felt I had been treated disrespectfully. I had spent a decent amount of time working on their technical test and then they didn’t make adequate time for my interview. You can understand that after this experience I didn’t want to move forward with this company.

到达那里后，面试开始后25分钟，面试官告诉我，我们不得不在5分钟内完成总结，因为还有另一场会议预定在会议室。 面试结束后，我感到沮丧，因为我觉得自己受到了不尊重。 我花了很多时间从事他们的技术测试，然后他们没有足够的时间来接受我的采访。 您可以理解，在经历了这段经历之后，我不想再与这家公司合作。

What every interviewer can learn from this story is that you shouldn’t overlap an interview with another appointment, no matter how important it is. If you do have an important meeting it’s better to reschedule the interview rather than rush through it. If the candidate feels you’re in a rush, he or she will feel that they’re not important to your company and you might lose a good candidate. You’re not the only company on the planet after all.

每个面试官都能从这个故事中学到的是，无论面试多么重要，您都不应将面试与另一个约会重叠。 如果您确实有重要的会议，最好重新安排面试的时间，而不是匆忙进行。 如果应聘者觉得您很着急，他或她会觉得他们对您的公司不重要，您可能会失去一个好的应聘者。 毕竟，您不是地球上唯一的公司。

2.不要限制候选人的问题 (2. Don’t put a limit on candidates’ questions)

In the previous point I described a situation where the interviewer rushed my interview. As a consequence I didn’t have the time to ask all the questions I wanted to. When I apply to a company, like many developers, it’s because I know the company and I think I’d like to work there. I use this opportunity to ask questions to help me understand the culture and policies that I’m interested in. For instance, I really enjoy speaking at conferences so a question I often ask is how flexible are they on allowing employees to take time to do this sort of thing.

在上一点中，我描述了面试官赶赴我的面试的情况。 结果，我没有时间问所有我想问的问题。 当我像许多开发人员一样申请公司时，是因为我了解该公司，并且我想在那工作。 我利用这次机会提出问题，以帮助我了解自己感兴趣的文化和政策。例如，我真的很喜欢在会议上发言，所以我经常问的一个问题是，他们在允许员工花时间做事上有多灵活？这种事情。

As many interviewers know, questions are an important part of the interview process and you should be happy to hear them. Good questions can tell you a lot about the candidate as highlighted in point 7 of Conduct the Perfect Job Interview in Twelve Simple Steps.

许多面试官都知道，问题是面试过程中的重要组成部分，您应该很高兴听到它们。 如“ 十二个简单步骤中进行完美工作面试”的第 7点所强调的，好问题可以告诉您很多有关应聘者的信息。

I was only given 5 minutes to ask questions in the above example and at the third I was told: “This must be your last question”. Well, I felt it was a complete waste of my time.

在上面的示例中，我只有5分钟的时间问问题，在第三分钟，我被告知：“这必须是您的最后一个问题”。 好吧，我觉得那完全是我的时间浪费。

As an interviewer you must always schedule enough time for candidates to ask questions and the candidate should be able to ask all the questions he or she wants to. Rushing candidates and limiting their ability to ask questions will restrict what you’ll learn about them and may put them off working for you.

作为面试官，您必须始终安排足够的时间让应聘者提出问题，并且应聘者应能够提出他或她想提出的所有问题。 急于求职者并限制他们提出问题的能力将限制您对他们的了解，甚至可能使他们无法为您工作。

3.将公司卖给候选人 (3. Sell your company to the candidate)

Even if you work for Yahoo, Microsoft or Google, as an interviewer you must sell your company to the candidate. Don’t be lazy and think that the candidate wants to work for you just because your company is well known. You might be able to attract a large number of candidates but if you don’t explain why your company is a great work environment then you’ll risk losing the more discerning and possibly better candidates. Always sell your company in an interview as you would to a customer.

即使您是Yahoo，Microsoft或Google的工作人员，作为面试官，您也必须将公司出售给候选人。 不要懒惰，不要以为候选人是因为您的公司而闻名就想为您工作。 您也许可以吸引大量的候选人，但是如果您不解释为什么您的公司是一个出色的工作环境，那么您将冒失去更挑剔和可能更好的候选人的风险。 总是在面试中将公司出售给客户。

4.不要只测试应试者知道的内容 (4. Don’t test only what the candidate knows)

As an interviewer it is your job to find the best candidates available among those that apply to your company. An important point to remember is that while a candidate must be able to use the technologies, languages, and tools adopted by your company, it’s even more important to understand what the candidate can do in addition to the specific requirements of the job.

作为面试官，找到适合您公司的最佳人选是您的工作。 要记住的重要一点是，虽然候选人必须能够使用贵公司采用的技术，语言和工具，但了解候选人除了工作的特定要求之外还能做什么，甚至更为重要。

Unless your company develops static websites or very simple WordPress themes, you don’t have to test only for what the candidate knows but also his/her ability to reason and the logical skills that they possess. A good candidate can learn any technology or programming language he/she doesn’t know, and can also provide good inputs or solutions to any project. On the contrary, a poor candidate might know the languages and tools in use within your company but he or she mightn’t easily adapt to change. So, remember to ask questions that allow you to understand the candidate’s ability to adapt and their willingness to learn.

除非您的公司开发静态网站或非常简单的WordPress主题，否则您不必测试候选人所知道的知识，还必须测试其推理能力以及他们所具备的逻辑技能。 优秀的候选人可以学习他/她不知道的任何技术或编程语言，还可以为任何项目提供良好的投入或解决方案。 相反，贫穷的候选人可能知道您公司中使用的语言和工具，但他或她可能不容易适应变化。 因此，请记住提出一些问题，以使您了解应聘者的适应能力和学习意愿。

5.一个错误的答案不是世界的尽头 (5. A bad answer isn’t the end of the world)

If you are running multiple interview stages during your application process, you should avoid discarding an application due to one bad answer. The candidate might have just been nervous or having an unfortunate mental blank. It isn’t unusual that a candidate experiences some nervousness during an interview and you might lose an otherwise perfect employee by punishing them for it.

如果您在申请过程中正在运行多个面试阶段，则应避免由于一个错误的答案而丢弃申请。 候选人可能刚刚感到紧张或精神空白。 求职者在面试中会感到有些紧张，这很常见，您可能因此而受到惩罚，从而失去了原本完美的员工。

Don’t let one moment ruin your opinion of the candidate, allow them to explain themselves or have another go at answering the question with a little help. A bad answer isn’t the end of the world, and that nervous and shy candidate might just change your company.

不要让片刻破坏你对候选人的看法，不要让他们解释自己，或者在一点点帮助下又去回答问题。 一个不好的答案并不是世界末日，那个紧张而害羞的候选人可能只会改变您的公司。

结论 (Conclusion)

An interview can let you choose the perfect employee but it’s also your responsibility, as the interviewer, to attract them to your company. Be respectful of the candidate’s time and the effort he or she has put in the process. Be sure to review your interview process from time to time with the candidates’ perspective in mind, you don’t want to miss the next star!

面试可以让您选择理想的员工，但作为面试官，将他们吸引到您的公司也是您的责任。 尊重候选人的时间和他或她在此过程中付出的努力。 确保以候选人的观点不时审查面试过程，您不想错过下一个明星！
