学生情侣踏上求职之旅

Have you ever considered going to a job fair with your boyfriend or girlfriend? Or submitted both of your resumes to a company’s human resource department?
你考虑过和恋人共赴招聘会吗？或是将你们的简历投给同一家公司？

This might seem a bit odd, as in the past job seekers tended to avoid revealing their private life to employers. They feared they might be rejected for doing so, or were simply shy.
这听起来可能有点怪。因为过去，求职者总是会避免向用人单位透露自己的私生活。他们担心会因此遭拒，或者只是羞于开口。

But things are changing. Many college couples are choosing jobs in the same workplace. Chen Jingji, 21, a senior majoring in Chinese literature at Sun Yat-sen University, applied to the same company in Shenzhen as her boyfriend.
而现在不同了，许多大学生情侣在求职时会选择在“同树而栖”。21岁的陈静吉（音译）是来自中山大学中文系的大四学生，她和男友一同申请了深圳某公司的职位。

She believes one of the biggest advantages of working with her boyfriend is that they can spend more quality time together.
她认为，和男友一块工作的最大好处是可以有更多的相处时间。

“We can often work together. Taking a taxi here is extremely expensive, so we can share the fares,” Chen said. “It will also be easier to rent a place near the office.”
她说，“我们可以经常在一起工作。在这边打车特别贵，这样一来，我们可以分担车费了，而且在公司附近租房也比较容易。”

Apart from practical issues, many lovers are choosing to work together because they can discuss problems with someone who truly understands them.
除了这些实际问题外，许多情侣选择搭伴工作，是因为他们可以和真正的知己来共同探讨问题。

“A couple working together might understand each other better,” said Mu Yuanguang, HR manager at Hainan Airlines,
海南航空公司人力资源部经理穆光远表示：“搭伴工作可能会加深情侣对彼此的了解。

“This can be especially important for women in a relationship, who often complain that their career problems are not given due importance.”
“这对恋爱中的女性尤为重要，因为她们常常会抱怨自己的工作难题没有得到公司应有的重视。”

Many graduate couples don’t even conceal their intention of joining together. But HR managers might have vastly different attitudes towards this trend.
许多刚刚毕业的情侣甚至毫不掩饰想要搭伴工作的想法。而对于该趋势，人事经理们的态度截然不同。

More and more companies have begun to consider recruiting talents in pairs. Sectors including oil exploration and aviation actually encourage “co-working”.
越来越多的公司开始考虑招收情侣档。实际上，像石油勘探和航天航空这类行业就很鼓励这种情侣档的工作方式。
