Your application has not been successful. We wish you every success in securing a suitable position in the future." I felt very upset. But the conversation wasn't over. "Would you like to hear feedback from us?" the voice said.The representative went on to tell me I hadn't clearly demonstrated my motivation for applying for the position and why I wanted to work for the company. The feedback was tough to hear. But I quickly realized they were right. After completing my Ph. D. in Germany, my top priority had been to find a position in Poland, where I grew up. As a result, I wasn't very selective about what I applied for. I pursued any job opportunity that broadly fit my skills and interests. The job at the consulting company was something I was technically capable of doing, but I didn't feel passionate about it — and that clearly showed in the interview process.From then on, I decided to carefully evaluate each job opening and only pursue ones that truly resonated (引起共鸣) with what I was passionate about. In my applications, I also began stating more clearly and emphatically why I wanted that particular job. Soon the approach started to pay off, as I got an offer for a postdoc position in Poland that I was truly excited about.A few years later, I found myself on the other side of the interview table. As a freshly hired group leader, I was interviewing candidates for the first Ph. D. position in my lab. I was particularly looking forward to talking with one candidate. On paper, his application looked great — nice CV, good recommendations, strong cover letter. But the interview went badly. He didn't seem to have done any reading in advance about the research I was doing, which made me wonder whether he was truly interested in working with me.注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。I called to tell him I couldn't offer him the position. A month later, I received a letter.
答案:I called to tell him I couldn't offer him the position. I could tell, even over the phone, that he was very disappointed. "I don't understand why I failed in the interview!" he said in a very sad voice. So I asked him if he wanted to know where he could improve in future interview s and he agreed. I told him what was wrong with his interview in detail. It was never pleasant to listen to constructive criticism. However, as the conversation went on, I got the sense that he was grateful for what I had to say.A month later, I received a letter. It was from the candidate whom I had talked with a month before. In the letter, he said that he had successfully landed a position in a famous company after adopting my suggestions. The letter read, "Had it not been for your practical advice, I couldn't have got the job I wanted." I could sense his gratitude to me in the letter. I felt very pleased for him, for I paid forward the feedback I had got from my failed interview. And that did work.
