9. Myth: If you want to stand out, you need to call to follow up on your application.
谣言九:如果你想脱颖而出,你就要打电话去时时跟进。
Fact: Most employers will tell you that these calls don't help and sometimes hurt. These days, with hundreds of applicants for every opening, if every applicant called to follow up, employers would spend all day fielding these calls. Believe me, they don't want to.
真相:大多数老板会告诉你,就算你打电话去也不会有帮助,有时候还会起到不好的效果。现在,每次公开招聘都会有上百个人来应聘,如果每个求职者都打电话跟进的话,老板就得成天处理这些电话。相信我,他们不会希望出现这种情况的。
