????有時會發生這種情況，你在一場（或者多場）面試后完全依照面試官的指示跟進面試進展，但是后續結果仍然如同石沉大海。如果這樣該怎么辦？這就是堅持不懈和死皮賴臉之間的界限可能特別模糊的地方。招聘企業往往需要長達兩個月的時間來為高級職位物色候選人，所以幾個星期沒有得到回復，可能僅僅意味著他們仍然在面試其他應聘者。

????但是新畢業生通常應聘的都是初級職位，涉及到這類職位，菲尼根所，“如果你在大約兩個星期之后還是沒有收到任何回復，千萬別聯系應聘企業超過兩次。”即使一定要問，也要嘗試去找到一個名正言順的借口，比如你剛剛寫了一篇和你所申請的工作有關的博客：“如果你再次聯系應聘單位，原因只是因為你沒有接到反饋。那你的行為就過了界，變成招人煩了。”

????“如果你碰巧知道面試官的手機號碼，請不要使用它來打電話或者發短信給面試官，”菲尼根補充說。“這讓人毛骨悚然。”他同樣表示，雖然二十多歲的年輕人都出了名的善于利用社交媒體，但是“不要試圖在Facebook上添加面試官為好友。”有些求職者，尤其是缺乏經驗的求職者，把那類舉動看作純粹的友好姿態，但是面試官更有可能會覺得遭到了騷擾了。

????還有一件事：如果有一些面試官從來沒有告知過你面試結果，別太往心里去。“你必須理解這個現實，那就是，很多人都開不了口來傳達壞消息，”菲尼根評論指出——所以他們干脆什么都不說。但是，布萊克稱，即使你對招聘企業的應對方式感到失望（甚至憤怒），也要盡量留有余地。

????“必須在面試流程中保持專業姿態，因為你在隨后的職業生涯還會遇到他們之中的某些人，”他說。“你永遠不會知道他們中的哪些人哪一天會變成你的貴人。”祝你好運。（財富中文網）

????What if, as sometimes happens, you follow up after an interview (or more than one) exactly as the employer suggested -- and you still hear nothing? This is where the line between persistence and peskiness can be especially foggy. Companies often take up to two months to fill senior jobs, so hearing radio silence for a few weeks may simply mean they're still interviewing people.

????But for an entry-level job like the ones new grads usually get, "never reach out more than twice if you hear nothing at all after two weeks or so," Finnigan says. Even then, try to have a believable pretext, like a blog post you just wrote that is relevant to the job you applied for: "You cross the line into peskiness if you have no real reason to get back in touch except that you haven't heard anything.

????"If you happen to know the interviewer's cell phone number, don't use it to call or text them," Finnigan adds. "It's creepy." Likewise, although twenty-somethings are famously comfortable with social media, he says, "do not attempt to friend interviewers on Facebook." Some job hunters, especially inexperienced ones, see moves like that as merely friendly gestures, but interviewers are more likely to feel as if they're being stalked.

????One more thing: If you never do hear a yea or nay from some of the people who've interviewed you, don't take it personally. "You have to accept the reality that many people have a hard time delivering bad news," Finnigan observes -- so they just say nothing. But, says Black, even if you're disappointed (or even angry) with the treatment you get from employers, try not to burn any bridges.

????"You have to be professional about this process, because you'll run into some of the same people later on in your career," he says. "You never know which of them will be turn out to be important to you." Good luck.
