Video Job Interview May Weaken Your Chances
視頻面試減小成功機會
If you're applying for a job a couple thousand miles away, a Skype interview will certainly be cheaper than meeting in person. But it could end up costing you the job. Because a study finds that a video chat can make you seem less likeable than a face-to-face interview would.
如果你應聘一個千里之外的工作，Skype視頻面試當然比面對面面試省錢。但是這可能會讓你丟掉這份工作。因為一份研究顯示視頻面試讓你看起來比面對面更不討喜。
Researchers recruited 104 MBA students, most of whom had about five years' work experience. Half the students acted as job candidates for a position at a fictional company; the other half served as interviewers. Each candidate interviewed both in person and via video chat.
研究人員招募了104名MBA學生，大多數都有五年的工作經驗。一半充當一個模擬公司的面試官，一半充當應聘者，每個面試官會分別面對面面試和通過網絡面試。
Turns out, job seekers on video were rated as less likeable, and were less likely to be recommended for the job.
結果是，通過視頻面試的應聘者更不討喜，入職幾率很低。
And it's not just the interviewees who got worse scores with video. Interviewers themselves were judged as less personable, competent and trustworthy. Even less attractive. The results appear in the journal Management Decision.
不光是應聘者視頻面試得分變低，面試官也被認為風度不夠，能力不足，不值得相信，甚至不夠有吸引力。這個結果發表在《管理決策》雜志上。
It's harder to telegraph emotions and maintain eye contact during a video chat. So if Skype's your only option, the researchers recommend positioning your webcam as close to eye level as possible, and being more expressive than usual—it might land you some actual FaceTime down the line.
在視頻聊天中，很難做到傳遞情緒，保持眼神交流。所以，如果Skype是你唯一的選擇，研究人員建議你把攝像頭靠近眼睛的高度，你也要比平時表現力更強。這可能會讓你達到真實面試的要求。
