這是每位信息技術從業者都懼怕的一天:先是聽聞公司內部將啟動裁員,隨后被叫到人力資源經理辦公室,得知自己被解雇的消息。
科技行業正經歷一場裁員潮。上周早些時候,IBM宣布計劃裁減部分員工。與此同時,亞馬遜也公布計劃裁員1.4萬人,Meta的人工智能部門則在上月裁掉了600名員工。遭遇裁員后,一個令人不安的問題浮現:“接下來該怎么辦?”對大多數人而言,這意味著要重整旗鼓,并尋找新的工作機會。Overture Partners首席營收官馬克·埃洛(Mark Aiello)指出,這個過程可能異常艱難。
“絕對沒有人會在周日晚上臨睡前想著,‘嘿,我可以去找新工作了,明天一定會很棒!'”埃洛說道。
翻新舊簡歷。IT Brew采訪了技術人才派遣機構Prosum南加州市場副總裁黛安娜·黃(Diana Huang),了解信息技術專業人士如何能讓求職過程更輕松,以及正確的簡歷禮儀。黃表示,信息技術專業人士優化簡歷最重要的一點,是通過數字或其他可衡量的指標來展示自己的成就。
“可以是‘通過自動化將云支出降低了15%',或者是‘將部署頻率從每周一次提升至每日一次',”黃說道,“關鍵是加入數字和具體細節,展現你的影響力。”
她補充說,專業人士應確保簡歷細節與其領英(LinkedIn)個人資料上的內容一致。一份好的簡歷也應盡可能簡潔。
“別把簡歷寫成小說。沒人會讀15頁,”黃說,“盡量精簡。如果你資歷較淺,工作經驗在五年或以下,請將簡歷控制在一頁內,并力求非常簡潔。”
埃洛指出,求職者還需要應對申請人追蹤系統——這是招聘經理用來根據特定關鍵詞或資格篩選簡歷并對其進行排名的軟件。他補充說,這些“神奇”的算法會讓求職者處境更復雜。
“這比中央情報局任何不對外解釋的行動都要神秘,你只能指望自己用了正確的關鍵詞、設置了正確的權重等等,”他說。
因此,埃洛建議求職者避免使用領英的“一鍵申請”功能及類似工具,而是應花時間針對心儀職位的職位描述中提到技能,來量身定制簡歷,突出這些技能。
“(過度使用一鍵申請)就相當于在說‘我喜歡被無視'……因為這基本上就是你將面臨的結果,”埃洛說。他補充道,那些確實想使用此功能的人,應該做額外的研究,并單獨聯系招聘經理。
如何成為出色的社交者。埃洛補充說,當專業人士尋求新機會時,人際關系網絡也很重要。他表示,尋求新職位的專業人士在與行業人脈討論自己的理想職位時,應該具體明確。
“不要只是說‘我在找工作'。要用他們能理解的術語,幫助他們準確理解你所從事的工作,”他說。通過電子郵件或短信發送類似的招聘帖子,有助于說明信息技術專業人士正在尋找什么樣的工作。
黃建議科技專業人士與幾位專門從事信息技術領域的本地招聘人員建立牢固的關系。
“如果你能建立起這種牢固的關系,他們會為你提供機會,讓你獲得更好的機會,而不是僅僅提交一份申請,然后很多時候都石沉大海,”她說。
她還建議專業人士在領英和類似平臺上公開宣布自己正在求職。
“我敢打賭,很多看到這條消息并且曾與你共事過的人會想,‘哦,聽到這個消息我很難過,但我認識某某人,他們可能在招人。讓我來牽個線吧',”黃說道,“所以,不要害怕廣而告之。”
求職的黃金法則。埃洛表示,專業人士必須記住,即使在找到新工作后,也要與建立的人脈網絡保持聯系。
“如果你只有在需要別人送你去機場或者需要幫忙搬家時才聯系你的朋友,過不了多久,他們就不再是你的朋友了,”他說。
黃補充說,如果求職者對某個職位失去興趣或完全退出候選池,應該告知招聘人員。“如果你玩失蹤,那么你就會被他們的系統拉入黑名單,他們就不會再把你推薦給他們的客戶了。”(財富中文網)

It's a day every IT pro dreads: hearing about layoffs within your company, then being summoned into an HR manager's office and being dismissed.
The tech industry is going through a purge. Earlier this week, IBM announced plans to layoff a portion of its workforce. Meanwhile, Amazon shared plans to axe 14,000 employees and Meta let go of 600 workers from its AI unit last month. After a layoff comes the uncomfortable question: “What's next?” For most, it's dusting yourself off and looking for a new opportunity. According to Overture Partners CRO Mark Aiello, that can be a grueling process.
“Definitely no one ever went to bed on Sunday night saying, 'Hey, I get to look for a new job. Tomorrow is going to be great!'” Aiello said.
Dusting off the ol' résumé. IT Brew caught up with Diana Huang, VP of technology staffing agency Prosum's Southern California market, to learn how IT pros can make their job search less cumbersome, as well as proper résumé etiquette. Huang said one of the most important things an IT pro can do to improve their résumé is to demonstrate their accomplishments through numbers or other measurable metrics.
“It could be 'Reduced cloud spend by 15% through automation,' or 'Improved deployment frequency from weekly to daily,'” Huang said. “It's adding numbers and specifics and showing your impact.”
She added that professionals should make sure résumé details match what's on their LinkedIn profile. A good résumé is also as concise as possible.
“Don't write a novel. No one's going to read 15 pages,” Huang said. “Let's try to really keep it short. If you're more junior, five years [or] under, keep it [to] one page and try to keep it really concise.”
Applicants are also working against applicant tracking systems, software used by hiring managers to filter and rank résumés by specified keywords or qualifications, according to Aiello, who added these “magic” algorithms can complicate things for job-seekers.
“It's more secret than anything the CIA does that they don't explain, and you have to hope that you have the right keywords and the right weighting and all of that,” he said.
Because of this, Aiello advises that applicants avoid using LinkedIn's Easy Apply function and similar tools, and instead take time tailoring résumés to feature skills mentioned in the job descriptions of the desired role.
“[Overusing Easy Apply] should mean 'I like to be ghosted'...because that's basically what's going to happen to you,” Aiello said. He added that those who do feel inclined to use the function should do additional research and reach out to hiring managers separately.
How to be a notable networker. Networking is also important when professionals are seeking a new opportunity, Aiello added. He said professionals seeking a new role should be specific when discussing their ideal role with their industry connections.
“Don't just say, 'I'm looking for a job.' Help them think exactly of what it is that you do in terms that they can understand,” he said. Emailing or texting similar job postings can help to illustrate what an IT pro is looking for.
Huang suggests tech professionals build strong connections with a handful of local recruiters who specialize in IT.
“If you're able to have those strong relationships, they will give you access to opportunities that will give you a better chance, rather than just submitting an application and a lot of times turning into a black hole,” she said.
She also advised professionals to announce that they are seeking work on LinkedIn and similar platforms.
“I bet you a lot of people who would see that and have worked with you would be like, 'Oh, I'm so sad to hear that, but I know of so and so who might be looking. Let me make that connection,'” Huang said. “So, don't be afraid to broadcast that.”
The golden rules of job hunting. Aiello said it is important for professionals to remember to maintain contact with networked connections, even after they land a new job.
“If the only time you hear from your friend is when you need a ride to the airport or you need help moving after a while, they're no longer going to be your friend,” he said.
Huang added that job-seekers should let recruiters know if they lose interest in a position or leave the candidate pool altogether. “If you ghost, then you will be blacklisted out of their system, and they will not present you again to their clients.”
