3、 secretary/receptionist for two senior vice presidents at a big company. They have been doing a lot of hiring lately, and almost all of the new middle-management personnel have been interviewed by one or the other of Annies two bosses, so naturally they come through her office first. Some of these p
4、eople are unbelievably rude. Either they treat Annie like a piece of furniture (no hello, no eye contact) or they think she is their errand(差使 ) girl. Lately, Annies two bosses have started asking her for her impressions of job candidates. So far this week, two have been discourteous(失礼的 ) and dismi
5、ssive, so Annie gave both the thumbs-down. Neither is getting called back for the next round of interviews. No one knows how common this is, but if you are job hunting, its necessary to be aware that the dummy at the reception desk may be anything but not “just a secretary“. Suggestions to Job Hunte
6、rs According to Annie Stevens and Greg Gostanian, two partners at a Boston-based executive coaching firm called Clear Rock, its not unusual these days for a hiring manager to ask everyone who meets a potential new hire to give an opinion of him or her. “One of the biggest reasons so many newly recru
7、ited managers fail in a new job is their inability to fit in and get along with the people who are already there,“ says Stevens. “So employers now want to get staffers impressions right at the start.“ Adds Gostanian: “A lot can be learned from how candidates treat receptionists, If the jobseeker is
8、rude, condescending, or arrogant, this might be an indication of how he or she would treat coworkers or direct reports.“ Obviously, anyone looking for a new job would do well not to alienate the person who sits outside the interviewers door. Stevens and Gostanian offer these six tips for getting off
9、 to the right start: .introduce yourself as you would to any other potential new colleague. Smile, shake hands, and so on. It seems odd that this has to be spelled out, but apparently it does; and, besides being a matter of common courtesy, ordinary friendliness offers a practical advantage. “Learni
10、ng and remembering an interviewers receptionists name can only help as you advance in the interviewing process,“ Stevens notes. .Dont regard a receptionist or other assistant as an underling(部下 )-at least, not as your own personal underling. “Always ask the interviewer if you need help from anyone e
11、lse in the office where youre interviewing, instead of seeking this directly yourself,“ says Gostanian. In other words, if youd like to leave an extra copy of your resume, refrain from sending the interviewers assistant to the Xerox machine. .Its fine to accept if youre offered a beverage, but keep
12、it simple. “Dont ask for particular brand names or expect to be brewed a fresh pot of coffee,“ Stevens says. And of course, need we add that dispatching anybody to Starbucks is out of the question? .Feel free to make small talk, but know that anything you say may well get back to the interviewer. “D
13、ont ask probing questions about the company or offer unsolicited opinions,“ Gostardan advises. No matter how hideous the office door, endless the hike from the parking lot, or inconvenient the wait to see the interviewer, keep it to yourself. Plenty of time for whining(抱怨 ) and grumbling after youre
14、 hired. .Dont talk on your cell phone in front of the receptionist, and try to put your BlackBerry aside. “If you have to make or take a call, leave the reception area,“ Stevens says. Preoccupation with wireless devices will mark you, she says, as “a cold and fixated person“. .“Dont forget to say go
15、od-bye. “Failure to say good-bye to someone youve just met reflects negatively on you,“ Gostanian notes. “Youll come across as impersonal and uncaring.“ Thats hardly the image any job hunter wants to project. How to Measure Your Work Any job, like any relationship, has its difficult moments. And wit
16、h the job market heating up, the temptations to change partners are growing. As with any relationship, however, you really should assess the full value of what youve got before giving it up wholesale, because-lets face it-regret really is a waste of your time. Regardless of the main task of a job-be
17、 it bond trading, teaching, balancing the books, or cleaning hotel roomsare there objective criteria that you can use to measure whether your job is wonderful or not? Workplace experts Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman have identified several. In their book First, Break All the Rules: What the Worl
18、ds Greatest Managers Do Differently, they offer a useful guide in the form of 12 questions: .Do I know whats expected of me at work? .Do I have the materials and equipment I need to do my work right? .At work, do I have the opportunity to de what I do best every day? .In the last 7 days, have I rece
19、ived recognition or praise for doing good work? .Does my supervisor, or someone at work, seem to care about me as a person? .Is there someone at work who encourages my development? .At work, do my opinions seem to count? .Does the mission/purpose of my company make me feel my job is important? .Are
20、my coworkers committed to doing quality work? .Do I have a best friend at work? .In the last six months, has someone at work talked to me about my progress? .This last year, have I had opportunities at work to learn and to grow? Buckingham and Coffman picked these 12 questions after looking for patt
21、erns among the responses of more than 1 million employees to workplace questions posed by the Gallup Organization over the years. “We were searching for those special questions where the most engaged employees. answered positively, and everyone else. answered neutrally or negatively,“ they wrote. Th
22、eir reasoning: they wanted to identify the key elements of a strong workplace that can attract and retain talent. Satisfaction with pay and benefits didnt make the list not because theyre not important, Coffman said, but because theyre important to all employees, whether theyre engaged in their work
23、 or not. So, assuming you feel youre paid the going rate for your job, answering affirmatively to all or even most of the 12 questions can be an indication that youve got a great job that you should part with only for very good reason. And if job satisfaction is important to you, then the promise of
24、 a bigger paycheck alone may not be reason enough. When Coffman is asked what percentage of companies he thinks actually pass the 12- question test, his estimate is no more than 15 percent. But within a company, he said, Individual departments may meet the test, even if the company overall doesnt. W
25、hy? The manager of a department makes all the difference. Coffman said when an employee quits, 70 percent of the time shes not leaving because of the job, shes leaving because of the manager. One cautionary note: your job may not be as wonderful for you as you think if you answer a majority of the 1
26、2 questions affirmatively but the few questions that you cant are among the first six. Thats because the first six questions make up the base on which job satisfaction rests, according to Buckingham and Coffman. If your current job doesnt meet the first six criteria, you are more likely to be diseng
27、aged with your work and less productive than you could be. Consider question three after all. Do you have the opportunity to do what you do best everyday? “If youre net able to use your gifts every day, youll be pretty frustrated,“ Coffman said. Of course, job satisfaction isnt a one-way street with
28、 a department either meeting your needs or not. In order to answer the 12 questions honestly, you need to know what it is that makes you tick and net blindly blame your department for any job dissatisfaction. Do you know what it is you like to do and what you do best? What kind of recognition do you
29、 like? Public or private? What are your values and do they square with your companys goals? How do you like a manager to relate to you? Otherwise, your career, like a string of bad relationships, can become a case of “different partner, same problems“. 2 When you go to a company for an interview, th
30、ere is no need to care the feelings oftbe receptionists. 3 According to Annie Stevens, many newly recruited managers fail in a new job because they cannot get along with their coworkers. 4 If you want to get off to the right start, you should treat the receptionists as your potential bosses. 5 If yo
