面試失敗並不意味着完全沒有機會補救了。

It’s not something we like to reflect on, but the truth is that there’s plenty of things that can go wrong when you submit an application and start the interview process for a new job. But even if the stakes are high, you can’t let the fear of making a mistake hold you back–there’s a wonderful new job out there with your name on it, and the only way to get it is to take a risk, submit the application, and do your best in the interview.

儘管我們都不喜歡思考下面這個問題，但事實上每次申請面試時都會發生很多意外。儘管這時候大家很容易犯錯，我們也不能因爲害怕就停止前進，丟掉尋找完美工作的機會，唯一的辦法就是放手一試，投出簡歷，盡力做到最好。

Only . . . what if you feel like you didn’t do your best? Or what if you know for sure that you made a misstep?

但是•••如果你覺得自己沒有盡力而爲呢?或者，如果你確定你犯了一個錯誤怎麼辦?

If you think there’s a chance you messed up during the interview process, you need to implement some damage control right away. Here’s what Halai Shukran, director of talent management at Viant, Inc., has to say about the five most common interview mistakes she sees when working with prospective job candidates.

如果你覺得自己可能會搞砸面試，你需要進行一些損害控制措施。Viant公司的人才管理部門主管Halai Shukran說，應聘者最容易犯以下這五個最常見的面試錯誤。

“A huge pain point for recruiters is putting all this work into finding a stellar candidate and scheduling a phone screening to feel them out for the role, only for the candidate to miss it,” says Shukran. “Missing the phone screen and not following up to reschedule shows a lack of professionalism, time management, and follow up, and these are key skills a recruiter looks for when assessing someone for any role.”

Shukran說:“招聘人員希望找到一位完美的職員，並且先用電話面試篩選候選人，但很多候選人會錯過這個面試。”“錯過了電話面試，之後又沒有重新預約面試的話，會顯得你缺乏專業精神、時間管理經驗、不能持續跟進項目等，這些正是招聘人員在評估某個人時所需要的關鍵技能。”

How to recover. If you’ve already made this mistake, it’s not a complete loss: Follow up with your contact as quickly as possible, take full responsibility for the slip, and explain the mitigating circumstances. Anything less–like dismissing it as no big deal or assuming they’ll reschedule quickly–won’t win you any favors (or second chances).

如何補救。如果你已經犯了這個錯誤，這並不意味着就沒有機會了:儘快跟聯繫人聯繫，對這一失誤負全部責任，協商出解決方案。不能認爲這是件小事，或者認爲公司可以馬上重新安排面試都是不可取的，也不能幫助你得到再一次的機會。

Shukran notes that another common interview mistake is sending a bland follow-up note or not following up at all. This causes you to miss out on an enormous opportunity to stand out among other prospective hires and–more importantly–to continue the conversation and build a relationship with your interviewer.

Shukran提到的另一個常見面試錯誤是發送一個泛善可陳的後續情況給聯繫人或者根本沒有發送。這會讓你錯失一個機會，讓你在未來的招聘中不能脫穎而出——更重要的是——不能繼續與面試官的交談，從而無法與面試官建立關係。

How to recover. If you made this common interview mistake and haven’t followed up to an interview yet, do so! Just make sure it’s unique to the person with whom you interviewed and shows you’re paying attention to the conversation: “Whenever possible, think back to something an interviewer said about the company and comment on it, or follow up for more information or to share an interesting article tied to the role. A follow-up that showcases whether or not you’re a fit shows more interest post-interview than a generic one,” remarks Shukran.
