求职路上如何跨越“没有行业经验”的障碍?

Anne Fisher 2013年10月23日

Anne Fisher为《财富》杂志《向Anne提问》的专栏作者,这个职场专栏始于1996年,帮助读者适应经济的兴衰起落、行业转换,以及工作中面临的各种困惑。
面对海量的简历,用人单位往往会首先排除那些从其它行业转行而来的跳槽马。因此,“没有相关行业经验”已经成为大多数考虑转行的人面前最大的“拦路虎”。不过,采用三个步骤就可以有效地越过这个障碍。

    尤其要注意每家公司的文化。奥古斯丁说:“通常情况下,雇主的网页、Twitter和Facebook页面能够让你了解公司的个性和他们对自己的看法。这一点很重要。在大多数管理职位的面试中,我们发现仅有20%的讨论会集中在特定的技能上。另外80%都是关于求职者如何融入团队和总体文化。”

    3. 充满热情,乐于学习。奥古斯丁表示:“正确的心态能激发招聘经理的兴趣,使他们愿意冒险给没有从业经验的求职者一次机会。你需要重点强调,虽然你来自不同行业,但你也一直在研究他们的行业,而且你迫切希望继续学习。”

    与其他许多事情一样,所谓“熟能生巧”。奥古斯丁曾接触过许多求职者,他们整个职业生涯都在不同行业之间跳槽——而且他们甚至把自己的适应能力作为了一个卖点:“这有点讽刺,但那些成功完成过许多次跨行业跳槽的人可以说:‘我之前适应了不同行业,还给这些行业增加了价值,所以我很期待再来一次。’”

    祝你好运!

    Pay particular attention to each company's culture. "Often an employer's web page, their tweets, and even their Facebook page can give you a sense of their corporate personality and how they see themselves," notes Augustine. "It matters. In most interviews for management jobs, we've found, only about 20% of the discussion is centered on specific skills. The other 80% is all about how well you'll fit into the team and the overall culture."

    3. Be enthusiastic and willing to learn. "The right attitude can motivate a hiring manager to take a chance on a candidate despite lack of industry experience," says Augustine. "You want to emphasize that, although you do come from a different business, you've studied theirs thoroughly, and you're eager to keep learning more about it."

    As with so many things, making this kind of jump gets easier the more times you do it. Augustine has seen some job candidates who have spent their whole careers hopping from one industry to another -- and who turn their adaptability into a selling point: "It's a little ironic, but people who have already made the leap from one industry to another a few times, and been successful at it, can point to that and say, 'I've adapted and added value in a different business before, and I'm looking forward to doing it again.'"

    Good luck!
