[求助] 关于学科年会上job interview的几个问题

这个月,我们学科开年会。年会会请一些学校或业界的人来offer job interview。这些openings都有正式的申请程序和递交申请的正式deadline,deadline基本在九月以后。年会上的interview主要是先让有兴趣的互相作个了解。我打算参加一些面试,哪怕作为热身练手也行。在此,有几个问题想JM们求助:

1。我的状况是:到开会时dissertation初稿写了大概一半的样子。剩下的部分大致的结果和结论基本上心里有数了,但还没成文,而且,以后写的时候有可能还会做一些额外的分析refine一下。现在,年会上有几个我特别想去的职位,但我有点担心,怕我目前的准备程度不够充分,到时要是谈得不是十分好,会失去on campus visit的机会。我想,那几个特别想去的地方,这次先不参加他们的面试,等回来时继续用功,到他们正式申请的deadline到的时候,我大概能写出2/3的初稿了,到时再投申请,没准获得interview 和on campus visit 的机会会大些。不知道我这种想法是不是有偏颇?还是说应该先在年会上跟他们谈谈吗?

2。还是着装问题,现在鞋和裤装不是问题,裤子有一条黑色的和一条深灰色的,都是正式的样子,而且合身。但是,上身的衣服有点问题。到现在都没找到合身的西服。不知道,这种面试不穿jacket可不可以?我现在有一件咖啡色衬衫、白色衬衫、还有一套样式很保守的灰绿色的twinset cardigen。不知上身就穿这些衬衫或cardigen而不穿西服,会不会给人不正式或者不重视面试的印象?

3。面试时可以用会议发的包吗?一般是帆布的,可以放A4文件。

4。刚见面打招呼以及面试结束道别时,应该由谁先伸出手跟对方握手?[em14]

平时经常在这个版上潜水,有很多收获,不过,碰到这些具体问题,还不是特别sure,请JM们帮忙给些建议。先谢过大家了![em25][em25]

Hey, I am going to the annual conference in my field this month too. We may be going to the same one [em08][em08][em08]

Back to your questions, since this is my first time to try conference interviews too, I can only speak according to what my committee members and our "academic brothers and sisters" have told me:

1. Listen to your advisor. I have conflicting advice from my committee members. Some said it is better to talk to as many employers as possible, while others said focus on a few schools you are really interested in. Since your advisor is going to play an essential role in your job hunting, listen to him/her to make him/her happy.

2. Based on what I saw at previous conference placement sections, everybody (both boys and girls) wore black suit. That is why I spent the whole weekend (Friday - Sunday) shopping for jackets.

However, personally I do not think it is a serious problem if you do not wear a jacket. Acting professionally is more important. My interviews run from Friday to Tuesday (5 days total), there might be a day or two when I do not wear jacket for sure.

3.  The conference bag may not look professional, in my opinion.

4. It really depends.

个人认为还是跟employer当面谈一下好,即使你到时候准备不是特别充分,也可以利用机会多了解一下雇主和职位的信息, 相信他们会很高兴回答你的问题。 参加年会本身也体现你对该profession/discipline的专业程度和重视, 可以给提前给雇主一个良好的印象。

这个阶段的面试穿着还是中规中矩一点好,我的感觉是不一定一身黑,但一定要Jacket, 除非会场一百多度穿jacket会热死人. 当年我一个穷学生花了两百多买了套装面试,不知道跟找到工作有没有必然联系, 但确实增强了一点自信心。

如果材料很多用帆布包也可以,但也要有正式的bag, 不然会有点象逛菜市场了

对方热情就他/她先伸手,他冷淡半天不伸就我先伸, 这个就是错了也不严重,跟谁先拥抱不一样

I got 4 onsite (invited to the company) interviews and my first job through this type of conferences 7 years ago. Definitely suggest to wear formal suits (jacket and skirt). And don't pass any opportunity to talk with potential employees even that you think you are not ready yet. During the conference interview, stay positive and enthusiatic. Hiring managers look for experience AND personality (somebody who can fit into the team). So it would help a lot for the first job hunting if a student can show her pleasant personality. [em08]
