面試過後毫無迴音的10大原因（下）
點此閱讀：面試過後毫無迴音的10大原因（上）
When it is finally time to make an offer 當到了給出工作機會的時候
They told you the interview process is complete — all drug tests, background checks, and everything else is done, and a decision will be made by last week (or even last month). But, it may still take longer because:
他們告訴你面試流程已經結束——任何藥檢，背景調查，別的什麼的都已經完成了，會在上週給出答案（甚至是上個月）。但是，仍然還需要更長的時間，因爲：
7. More missing decision-makers, higher up the chain. 7. 更多高層的，做出決策的人士不在場。
Yet again, someone important in the decision-making may be out of the office or unavailable for some reason. The right people need to approve new hires, often in very specific order up the organization’s management chain, and decisions wait until the appropriate approval is received so the paperwork can passed on up to the next level.
有一次，重要的做出決策的人員可能不在辦公室或因某種理由沒空。那個人要覈實認可新職員的資格，而那個人常常處於一家公司管理層裏非常具體的位置。並且最終決定需要等待至正式覈實消息得到接收了，這樣文案才能傳遞至下一個階段。
8. Business has changed unexpectedly, and they are waiting for the dust to settle or adjusting to a new reality. 8.生意毫無預期地改變了，他們在等待塵埃落定或正在調整到新情況。
So budgets are being juggled because of an unexpected increase (or drop) in business, and they won’t contact anyone until they know they can afford to fill the job.
因此，預算就很糾結，因爲公司生意突如其來的增加或降低，因此他們不會跟任何人聯繫，直到他們直到可以支付得起這份工作的薪水爲止。
9. Definitely restructuring that job. Probably... Maybe... Or, maybe NOT! 9.絕對在重構那個職位。也許……可能……或者，可能並不是！
Again, they haven’t found the perfect candidate, so they are reconsidering the structure of the job. When they are done, it may be a perfect fit for you, or not. They won’t know until they’re done making the changes, and, of course, you won’t know until after they do.
再次，他們找不到最合適的求職者，所以他們在考慮重新調整這個職位的架構。當他們完成了這一步，可能是一份很適合你的工作，或者，不適合你。他們不知道的，除非已經完成所有調整，並且，肯定的是，你只有在他們完成之後才知道。
Maybe they will decide, in the end, that it’s too time-consuming and expensive to re-post and go through the whole interviewing process again, so they’ll go with the best candidate they’ve got. Which could be you, IF you are still available (don’t wait, though!).
可能他們會做出決定，最終，再次經過那個太耗費時間，花費太多的重新投放廣告並經過的面試流程，所以他們會直接招聘已有的最佳面試者。可能就是你，如果你仍然還沒找到工作的話（不要再等了！）。
10. Waiting for a decision from candidate #1. You are candidate #2. 10. 等待求職者1號的決定，你是求職者2號。
They could have offered the job to someone else and are waiting for that person to accept (or not). Or are in the process of negotiating the job offer with the person. It isn’t over until the person starts the job (sometimes not then, either). If that person doesn’t accept the job — or doesn’t stay very long — you might well be next in line for the job!
他們可能給別人工作的機會，然後等待那個人接受（或不接受）的消息。或者正在跟那個人談判薪水。只要那個人還沒開始工作，這個過程就還不算結束（有時候也不是這個時候）。如果那個人不接受這份工作，或者不會在這份工作呆很久，你可能就是他們的備選！
Or, you may be completely out of the running, and they don’t contact you because they don’t have the time, technology, or manners required. Or they are afraid of getting sued.
或者，你可能完全沒有希望了，他們不聯繫你是因爲他們沒有時間，技術，或所需的禮節。或者他們擔心被起訴。
Try not to assume the worst — or the best — until you know for sure, or until several months have passed with no word and no responses to your efforts to get an answer from them.
儘量不要做最壞的打算——也不要做最好的打算——直到你非常肯定，或者過了好幾個月都毫無音訊，才做打算。
If it doesn’t work out this time... 如果這一次無法解決……
Perhaps you felt a “connection” with one or more of the people there and would be interested in that employer if another opportunity developed, ask those folks to connect on LinkedIn (what do you have to lose?), and stay in touch. Perhaps, send them a thank note for the opportunity to meet them and to learn more about the organization. It can work!
也許你會跟公司裏的一個或多個人感到很有“聯繫”，可能會感興趣，如果有另外一個新的機會，你可以在領英上詢問這些夥伴（你還有什麼值得輸的？），並且保持聯繫。也許，給他們發送一封感謝信，感謝與他們見面的機會以及更瞭解公司的機會。真的能行！
If you worked with a recruiter, send the recruiter an invitation to connect on LinkedIn. Most recruiters welcome all connections, and connecting with them makes you more visible to them and to the recruiters and employers they are connected to as well.
如果你曾經與招募者共事，在領英上向對方發送一封邀請函。大多數的招募者都歡迎所有的聯繫人，並且與他們聯繫更能讓他們注意到你，以及更能讓他們所聯繫的其他招聘者和僱主也注意到你。
