這篇TED原本的標(biāo)題是:Why the best hire might not have the perfect resume。反過(guò)來(lái)解讀就是為什么擁有完美的簡(jiǎn)歷卻不被HR待見(jiàn)。
這個(gè)問(wèn)題,惡魔的奶爸在公眾號(hào)推送過(guò)好多次類似的話題:大學(xué)文憑到底重不重要。
這篇TED口齒比較清楚,用的詞匯短語(yǔ)不是很難。
TED TALKER
?Hartley is a human resources director for UPS Information Services, and makes human connections with employees immersed in technology.She holds a BA in political science from SUNY Binghamton and an MA in corporate and organizational communication from Fairleigh Dickinson University. She is a certified Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) from the HRCI.

演講的開(kāi)始,Hartley提出了一個(gè)問(wèn)題:如果有個(gè)崗位需要招聘,有兩個(gè)選擇,你會(huì)選擇哪一個(gè)人?
Person A: Ivy League, 4.0, flawless resume, great?recommendations.
Person B: state school, fair amount of job hopping, and odd?jobs like cashier and singing waitress.
毫無(wú)疑問(wèn),一般這種問(wèn)題丟出來(lái),都是會(huì)選擇B的。
Hartley把B取了一個(gè)名字:"the Scrapper,":the one who had to fight against tremendous odds to get to?the same point.
她表示,她并不排斥A,能夠被精英大學(xué)錄取并順利畢業(yè), 同樣需要付出很多心血和犧牲。只是,如果你的一生都被設(shè)計(jì)為走向成功, 你要如何應(yīng)對(duì)困難的時(shí)刻呢?相反,B作為一個(gè)人生注定失敗的人, 而被錄取了,會(huì)怎么做?
Hartley之所以垂青職場(chǎng)拳擊手,是因?yàn)樗约壕褪沁@一類人。傳統(tǒng)的思維認(rèn)為創(chuàng)傷會(huì)導(dǎo)致痛苦, 而且還重點(diǎn)強(qiáng)調(diào)了失敗的結(jié)果,然而,事實(shí)上,即便是最糟的境遇也能導(dǎo)致成長(zhǎng)和轉(zhuǎn)變。這個(gè)就是傳說(shuō)中的:Post Traumatic Growth。
在不幸和困頓面前,有的人能夠蛻變成為拳擊手:
1、有目標(biāo)意識(shí), 永不放棄自己。Scrappers have a sense of purpose that prevents them from?giving up on themselves
當(dāng)事情發(fā)展并不盡如人意, “ 拳擊手” 會(huì)問(wèn) ,“ 我能做些什么別的來(lái)創(chuàng)造一個(gè)更好的結(jié)果 ? ”
2、幽默感。Scrappers know that humor gets you through the tough?times, and laughter helps you change your perspective
3、人際關(guān)系。Somewhere along the way, they find people who bring out?the best in them and who are invested in their success
最后,Hartley說(shuō):“I say choose the underestimated contender, whose secret weapons are passion and purpose.”
其實(shí)這篇說(shuō)的是一個(gè)“逆商”的概念。也就是指人們面對(duì)逆境時(shí)的反應(yīng)方式,即面對(duì)挫折、擺脫困境和超越困難的能力。Hartley認(rèn)為,工作勝任度會(huì)在更大程度上取決于其面對(duì)挫折、擺脫困境和超越困難的能力,一直一帆風(fēng)順的人優(yōu)秀光環(huán)籠罩的人往往不肯屈就去做一些基礎(chǔ)工作,也不肯配合其他同事。反而是這些拳擊手們?cè)敢庾プ∫磺袡C(jī)會(huì),拼盡全力,配合度也比較高。
ACTION
1、學(xué)習(xí)問(wèn)自己:我能做些什么別的來(lái)創(chuàng)造一個(gè)更好的結(jié)果?
2、珍惜忠言逆耳的良師益友——人人都知道人際關(guān)系的重要性。但是年紀(jì)越大,這個(gè)越少。
