“你为什么想来这工作”的完美回答

"I've sent my résumé to over 150 companies but I'm not getting any bites," complained a job hunter. "How many more jobs should I apply to in order to generate some interest?"
"我把简历发给了150多家公司，但是没有得到任何面试机会，”一个找工作的人抱怨道。“我还得申请多少份工作才会有公司对我感兴趣呀？”

Some people treat job hunting as a numbers game. They hope that by applying to enough companies, sooner or later they will find success. While there is no one magic number of how many places a jobsearcher need apply, you shouldn't for a moment believe that applying to everything in sight is a winning strategy for career progression. Moreover,being uNPRepared for success might also be risky.
有些人把找工作看成是数字游戏。他们希望申请足够多的公司后，早晚都能成功。由于并不存在申请多少家公司就能找到工作的魔法数字，你不应该相信，只要是公司你就去申请对你的事业发展是成功的策略。此外，没有准备好也是有风险的。

Imagine getting this call: "Hi Joe.This is Jane from ABC Corp. I'm responding to the résumé you submitted to us.Thanks so much for your interest. Can you tell me why this job appeals to you?"
想象一下你接到这个电话：“你好，乔。我是ABC公司的简。我负责处理你提交给我们的简历。谢谢你对我们的公司感兴趣。你能告诉我为什么这份工作会吸引你吗？”

Gulp. Joe's chances could be doomed from the get-go if he can't quickly summon to mind a better answer than: "Well… I applied to lots of jobs. Remind me which company you're calling from, and tell me about the job. Then I'll be able to explain it to you."
如果乔不能迅速地找到比这个更好的回答，那么他的机会注定会瞬间即逝：“嗯......我申请了很多份工作。请提醒我你是哪家公司的，告诉我是什么工作。这样我就能向你解释了。”

Already, Joe has blown his chance to show that he actually cares about this particular opportunity. Worse, he cemented in the mind of the interviewer that he is submitting frivolous applications out of desperation and likely isn't a serious candidate.
乔实际上很看重这一机会，但这样回答，这个机会就浪费掉了。更糟的是，他留给面试官的印象是他由于绝望才随便提交申请的，他可能不是一个严谨的候选人。

To be fair, you can't be expected to put in hours researching the details of every company before submitting an application. Nonetheless, it is important to have a clear sense of why you're interested in every company to which you apply, and what in your background should make that particular company interested in you.
说句公道话，你不可能每次提交申请前都花很长时间研究每个公司的细节。然而，重要的是要清楚地意识到你为什么对你所申请的公司感兴趣，以及你的哪些背景能让公司对你感兴趣。

If you want to make a hit, then take the time to understand the basics of your target companies' employment brand. Be prepared to tap into their carefully crafted reputation from your first conversation and all the way through the hiring process.
如果你想得到工作，那你就需要花时间理解目标公司就业品牌的基本内容。在你第一次的谈话和以后的招聘过程中，准备好去深入了解他们精心打造的声誉。
