Corcodilos started out in the headhunting business 20 years ago, he had a keen eye for tracking talent. From his base in Silicon Valley he would send all-star p
5、erformers to blue-chip companies like Xerox, IBM and General Electronic. But while he would succeed in his part of the hunt, the job-seekers he located would often fail in theirs. They were striking out before, during or after the interview.So instead of simple scouting for talent, Corcodilos began
6、advertising job candidates as well. He helped improve their success ratio by teaching them to pursue fewer companies, make the right contacts and deliver what companies are looking for in an interview. In his myth-busting book, Ask the Headhunter (Plume, 1997), Corcodilos has reinvented the rules of
7、 the job search, from preparation to interview techniques. Here are his six new principles for successful job hunting.Your resume is meaningless.Headhunters know a resume rarely gets you inside a company. All it does is outline your pastlargely irrelevant since it doesnt demonstrate that you can do
8、the work the hiring manager needs done. “A resume leaves it up to the employers to figure out how you can help their organization,” Corcodilos says. “Thats no way to sell yourself.” Recalling the marketing adage (古训) that a free product sample gives customers a reason to want more, he suggests you d
9、o the same: give employers an example of what you can do for them. “Create a new area in your resume. Call it value offered. In two sentences, state the value you would bring to that particular employer.” For example, “I will reduce your operation costs by streaming your shipping department.” Be spe
10、cific, creating a separate resume for each company you approach.Dont get lost in HRHeadhunters try to get around the human-resources department whenever possible. “Most HR departments create an infrastructure that primarily involves processing paper,” Corcodilos says. “They package, organize, file a
11、nd sort you. Then, if you havent gotten lost in the shuffle, they might pass you on to a manager who actually knows what the work is all about. While the typical candidate is waiting to be interviewed by HR, the headhunter is on the phone, using a back channel to get to the hiring manager.”Do the sa
12、me in your job search: apply directly to the person who will ultimately make the hire.The real matching takes place before the interview.A headhunter sends a candidate into an interview only if he or she is clearly qualified for the position. In your own job hunting, make the same effort to ensure a
13、 good fit. Know the parameters (范围) of the job when you walk into the interview. Research the company, finding out about its cultures, goals, and competitors.One of the best ways to learn about a company is to talk to people who work there. Kenton Green of Ann Arbor, Mich., used this technique while
14、 completing a doctoral program in electrical engineering and optics in the University of Rochester: “I would find an article published by someone in my field who worked at a company I was interested in. Then Id call that person and ask to talk, mention my employability and discuss the companys needs
15、. One of the two things happened: Id either get an interview or learn we werent a good match after all.” As you investigate a prospective employer, you will often find you and the company are not made for each other. “And thats good,” Corcodilos says, “because when you do find the right fit, you wil
16、l walk into an interview with confidence, having decided this is where you want to work.”Remember, the employer wants to hire you. “A company holds interviews so it can find the best person for the job,” Corcodilos says. “The manager will be extremely happy if that person turns out to be youbecause
17、then he or she can stop interviewing and get back to work.”So give yourself an attitude adjustment. “If you convince yourself the manager wants to hire you, youll have a positive attitude towards the interview, and your attitude might influence the manager to feel good about you.”Pretend the intervi
18、ew is your first day at work.Most people treat an interview as if it were an interrogation (审问). The employer asks questions, and the candidate gives answers.Headhunters go out of their way to avoid that outline. “Your attitude should be that of an employee whos there to talk about a new project, ra
19、ther than the more obsequious attitude of a candidate whos hoping to get an offer,” Corcodilos says.Consider how Corcodilos coached Gerry Zagorski of Edison, N.J., who was pursuing an opening at AT&T. The vice-president handling the interview told Zagorski the meeting could last no more than 20 minu
20、tes. Zagorski walked over the VPs marker board and outlined the companys challenges and the steps he would take to increase its profits. Fifteen minutes later, as Zagorski wrote down his estimate of what he would add to the bottom line, he looked up at his interviewer.“The guys jaw was on the floor,
21、” Corcodilos says. “He told Zagorski that finishing the interview wouldnt be necessary. Instead, the VP brought in the rest of his team, and the meeting lasted for two hours.”Not only did Zagorski demonstrate that he understood and could do the job, but also he showed how the company would profit fr
22、om hiring him when he turned the interview into a working meeting.Got an offer? Interview the company.When an employer makes an offer, he does more than deliver a title and a compensation packagehe also cedes (放弃) part of his control over the hiring process. “At the outset of the interview, the empl
23、oyer controls the offer and the power that comes with it,” Corcodilos says. “But upon making an offer, he transfers that power to the candidate. This is a power few people in that situation realize they have. Its the time for you to explore changing the offer to suit your goals and fully interview t
24、he company.”Ask to meet the members of the team youve been invited to join and to see the resources that would be at your disposal. Ask for more moneybut only if you think you truly deserve it. And dont worry about how the employer might react. “As long as you present your requests professionally an
25、d not as demands,” Corcodilos says, “a good company will consider the things that are important to you.”Once you get that offer, “You have the power,” says Corcodilos, “to decide whether, and on what terms, you want to hire that company.”1. Job-seekers are advised to give detailed information of the
26、ir past in the resume.2. A headhunter never arranges a person for an interview unless he or she is clearly qualified for a position.3. The best way to learn about the company one is going to work in is to phone the human resources department.4. The meeting of Zagorski lasted much longer than they ha
27、d expected because the interviewers were interested in his talk and wanted to hear more.5. The manager will feel good about you if you have a positive attitude towards the interview.6. During the interview it is not proper for the job-seeker to present any requests about money.7. Following the princ
28、iples reinvented by Corcodilos, one is sure to succeed in finding a job.8. When searching a job, one should apply directly to the person who will finally make the hire.9. The interview of Zagorski was not supposed to last more than 20 minutes, actually lasted for two and a half hours. 10. By making
29、an offer, an employer actually gives up part of his control over the hiring process.Part III.
