What can I do to stand out against other candidates? 我应该怎么做才能从众多候选者之中脱颖而出？
别只顾着看你的technical skills。
尽管硬件非常重要，但是实际上和你一起申请工作职位的大部分竞争者都具有雇主所要求的skill-set。要想跳出万花丛中，你必须要让人看到你的独一无二的亮点，从cover letter到interview。
你曾经在不同的国家工作过（因此有更广阔的视野）？
你会不止一种语言？
你懂得灵活运用Excel VBA？
你曾去往某个落后地区做过志愿者？
你曾经试图创业？
任何一切与专业相关可能为你带来竞争优势的经验，不要回避，大胆写在你的简历上。在今天的职场中，学会如何成为一个culture-add，比成为一个culture-fit更吃香。
当面试官说，“你有什么问题问我们吗”，我应该如何回答？
千万别小看这一环节。
这一题的要点是，你要通过这个问题，让雇主知道你已经对应聘的公司和岗位做足了准备功课，并且真心诚意愿意加入。所以千万别问“噢，那你们公司具体是做什么的呢？”“你们”取而代之。
So, questions like: ‘What would success look like in this role?’, ‘What do you most need from the person who steps into this role?’ and ‘What challenges would you need me to meet to help the organisation meet its objectives?’. Also, don’t be afraid to ask about the culture – an alignment of values is important for both sides!
过了好一阵都没听到面试结果，我该怎么做呢？
There is nothing wrong with following up; if anything, it demonstrates that you are highly interested in the role and are a proactive person. Both traits are highly valued by employers. A thank you email directly after an interview is a nice touch and can be complemented by a follow up email after a reasonable amount of time has passed. In your follow up email, make sure you clearly and concisely communicate your enthusiasm for the role and the value you would bring to the company.
When contacting your interviewer, it’s important to remember and respect that they have many other priorities competing for their time. Hiring for this role is not the only thing they are doing; so sometimes, no news is no news.
With this advice in mind,
start jotting down some ideas for each question that relate to you and your career journey.
