Subtle Tactics That Help Job Seekers Stand Out
帮助求职者脱颖而出的聪明小战术

Every job candidate wants to stand out from the crowd, especially in today's competitive employment market.
每个求职者都想在求职大军中脱颖而出，尤其是在求职市场竞争激烈的今天。

According to a recent report from the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are about 6 unemployed workers competing, on average, for each job opening. That's the highest level since the bureau started tracking these figures nine years ago.
根据美国劳工统计局的最近一份报告显示，每个招聘职位平均会有6名失业的求职者竞争。这是自该统计局9年前开始追踪调查这些数据以来，产生的史上最高值。

If you've been searching for a new position and haven't seen much success, you may be tempted to try more creative ways to get noticed. But beware: You can attract a prospective employer's attention in the wrong way.
如果你正开始找一份新工作，但是成功的希望不大，你可能就需要想一些更加创造新的方法来让自己引起雇主的注意。但是要注意：你的方法也可能是错误的。

When Robert Half International asked executives to describe the most unusual thing they had seen or heard an applicant do to distinguish him- or herself on the job hunt, examples included a candidate who sang during the interview and another who brought a 10-page binder detailing his work history.
当国际罗伯海夫公司要求招聘人员描述他们在招聘过程中碰到的，候选人为了让自己脱颖而出所做过的最不寻常的事情时，他们列举了一位候选人曾经在面试过程中唱歌，另外还有一位候选人则拿出了一份装订好的10页工作历史的详细说明。
 
Instead of these types of over-the-top tactics, try the following ones, which made positive impressions on the executives we surveyed:
与其使用这些夸张的做法，不如参考以下建议，根据我们的调查，这能够给雇主留下积极而深刻的印象：

Ask Questions 问问题

Most job seekers research a firm before being interviewed there, but many stop digging once they show up for the meeting. When speaking with the hiring manager, ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of the position and company. One executive in the survey noted that a job seeker "turned the table and wanted to know all about me. The tactic worked."
很多求职者在去面试之前会先对公司进行一番调查，但是很多人一旦去面试了也就停止了调查。在和招聘经理面谈的时候，向他提问以便更进一步地了解公司和该职位。参加我们调查的一位执行主管警告求职者说“掌握主动权，并想了解我的一切，这种方法对我来说是奏效的。”

Some questions will come up naturally, but you also can prepare some for the hiring manager beforehand, such as "How did you start with the company, and what has your career progression been?" Or you might ask about the firm itself: "I recently read about the company's new location in Europe. Does the firm have plans to continue expanding internationally?"
有些问题自然会提到，但是你也可以提前准备一些问题来询问招聘经理，比如“您是如何从贵公司开始的呢？您的职业是如何发展的呢？”或者你可以就公司的事情提问“我最近听闻了贵公司在欧洲建立了分公司，请问贵公司是否还在计划向海外市场扩张呢？”
