You could tick all the boxes in terms of experience, education and skills when applying for a job, but if your email address is too informal it could be holding you back。申請(qǐng)工作的時(shí)候,你的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn),學(xué)歷和技能都達(dá)標(biāo),但是如果你的郵件地址太不正常的話,這會(huì)在求職時(shí)拖你的后腿。
Research has discovered that addresses considered cute or funny, and even those that contain underscores, can hinder your chances。研究者發(fā)現(xiàn)可愛滑稽或有下劃線的郵箱地址會(huì)讓你錯(cuò)失工作機(jī)會(huì)。
And this has the same negative effect on recruiters as spelling mistakes on a résumé。簡(jiǎn)歷上的拼寫錯(cuò)誤對(duì)招聘人員也會(huì)產(chǎn)生同樣消極的影響。
The study was carried out at the Department of Social and Organisational Psychology at VU University, Amsterdam。這是由阿姆斯特丹自由大學(xué)社會(huì)與組織心理學(xué)系進(jìn)行的一項(xiàng)研究。
The team wanted to see if a résumé containing a formal email address would boost the applicants' chances of getting the job than an informal email address résumé。該團(tuán)隊(duì)想看看有正式郵件地址的簡(jiǎn)歷,和有非正式郵件地址的簡(jiǎn)歷相比,讓申請(qǐng)者得到工作的幾率會(huì)不會(huì)變大。
It deliberately used different fonts, including Arial and Times New Roman, littered spelling mistakes throughout and altered how conscientious, intelligent, honest and humble the applicants appeared。該團(tuán)隊(duì)故意使用了不同的字體,包括Arial和新羅馬字體,還充斥了拼寫錯(cuò)誤,并且改變了申請(qǐng)者本身的認(rèn)真,聰慧,誠實(shí)和謙卑。
The results show that recruiters do indeed assess the hirability of an applicant with a résumé featuring a formal email address higher than that of an applicant with a résumé featuring an informal email address,' said the researchers。結(jié)果表明,招聘人員的確會(huì)通過郵件的正式程度來衡量應(yīng)聘者的應(yīng)聘競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力,正式郵件地址的簡(jiǎn)歷比非正式的應(yīng)聘競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力高。
And this detrimental effect was on par with that caused by spelling errors。拼寫錯(cuò)誤有同樣不利的影響。
This trend was only mediated if the applicant appeared more conscientious, or showed signs of humility。只有在申請(qǐng)者表現(xiàn)的更認(rèn)真和謙卑的時(shí)候,這種趨勢(shì)才不會(huì)影響應(yīng)聘。
"In summary, the results showed that when writing a résumé, it is important to use a formal e-mail address," concluded the researchers。從而言之,研究結(jié)果表明,寫簡(jiǎn)歷的時(shí)候,使用正式郵件地址很重要。
"The initial screening of an applicant's résumé can strongly influence first impressions。初步申請(qǐng)者簡(jiǎn)歷的篩選對(duì)第一印象有很強(qiáng)的影響。
'Even "small" résumé characteristics, such as the email address, can determine a positive or negative impression by recruiters.'即使是例如郵箱地址這樣很小的簡(jiǎn)歷特征,可以決定應(yīng)聘人員對(duì)求職者產(chǎn)生積極印象還是消極印象。
