求职面试时你需要留心的14件事(2)
或许你喜欢人人都穿西装的正式场合,或者你喜欢穿着随意的非正式场合。观察这里员工的穿着,然后决定你每天穿成这样来上班是否会觉得舒服。
12. What is the physical layout of the office?
12. 办公室的布局怎么样?
This can also be critical for a lot of people, so take the time to check out whether there’s an open door policy, or an open office concept. Again, some people hate open offices, others love them, so it’s about what is right for you. Maybe the office is a cube farm. How do you perform in that type of setting? These are things to take note of when you go in for your interview.
这对许多人来说同样重要,因此,花点时间去了解清楚是否有开门政策,或者开放式办公的概念。有人喜欢这种开放式办公,有些人讨厌,因此,又要决定你适合什么。或许这间办公室是一个立体式隔间布局。你在这种布局下感觉如何?这些都是你参加面试时需要注意的事情。
13. How do managers interact with employees?
13. 管理者如何和员工互动?
Although it can be hard to determine sometimes, if you have the opportunity, try to get a sense of how supervisors and managers interact with employees. This can be very telling as to the kind of environment. It can send subtle clues as to how hierarchical the work environment is or how oppressive it may feel.
虽然有时候很难判定,如果你有机会,不妨去了解一下主管和管理者们是如何与员工互动。它能够很好地说明那种工作氛围。在那种工作环境下等级森严的程度或者压制程度方面,它都能够传递出微妙的线索。
14. Is everyone busy?
14. 是每一个人都很忙吗?
Don’t draw conclusions based on how busy one or two individuals look. Instead, take note of the overall picture. In general, do the employees seem to have a lot of down time? Or are they engaged in work? Do they look too busy, with stacks of papers piled on their desks? If it appears that nobody is working, that may be an indication that business is slow. If everyone looks exhausted and overworked, this could mean the company is understaffed.
不要只是根据单独的一个或者两个人的繁忙程度就轻易得出结论。相反,要注意整体情况。通常情况下,员工是否看上去会有很多的空闲时间吗?或者他们都在忙于工作吗?他们看上去是否太忙,办公桌上是否堆着成堆文件?如果没人在工作,那或许只能说明生意冷清。如果所有人看上去都筋疲力尽和劳累过度,这意味着该公司人手不足。
