面试石沉大海的八大原因

　　预算还没敲定

　　Departments' budgets dictate how much they can pay new hires and whether or not adding personnel is possible. Companies announce budget changes at different times and can depend on outside financing if it's a start-up, so you may not be receiving a call because the department is waiting on its final numbers。

　　部门预算决定着是否能招人，能给多少钱。公司的预算可能在不同的时间会有所变化，有些公司可能还要根据外部融资来决定，特别是那些刚起步的公司。所以，如果你没有接到雇主的电话，那么可能是招聘的部门正在等待最后敲定的预算结果。

白天工作时间忙不过来　　There Aren't Enough Hours in the Day

　　白天工作时间忙不过来

　　Keep in mind that your employment isn't the only thing the hiring manager has on her plate, not to mention there are several people involved in hiring decisions. If it's a particularly busy time in the industry then hiring could be a lower priority than usual。

　　记住，招聘并不是HR唯一要忙的事，更何况除了HR，还有其他人会参与到招聘的决策。如果这段时间正好是该行业最忙的时候，那么招聘这类事很有可能会被排在不那么重要的位置上来处理。

工作邀请已经发出　　An Offer Has Already Been Extended . . 。

　　工作邀请已经发出

　　. . . to someone else. If the position has already been offered to another candidate and is waiting for that person to accept the offer, they'll withhold from making contact with other applicants in the running. This process can take longer than you'd think — the preferred candidate could be on vacation or trying to negotiate salary. An employer won't let you know a position has been filled until it's been formalized。

　　工作邀请已经发出，不过是给了别人。如果是这种情况的话，那么雇主就是在等对方的回应，这个时候，他们是不会和其他的求职者联系的。这一过程比你想象中的要更长，因为可能这个收到offer的人正在休假或者在和招人单位洽谈薪酬。在招聘岗位最终确定前，雇主是不会让你知道的。

你应聘的职位已经不存在了　　The Position No Longer Exists

　　你应聘的职位已经不存在了

　　Shake-ups can occur that reorganize departments and eliminate the position you interviewed for. This kind of change can cause higher-ups to be distracted and they might not get around to announcing the news to candidates as soon as you'd hope。

　　人事变动会重组部门，精简岗位，而你所应聘的那个岗位很有可能就不存在了。这类变动对高层影响更大，可能没有人会分神去通知你这个岗位已经取消了。
