1、 面试官更重才还是更重貌,来自读者的建议 I”ve been interviewing candidates for a research job and have had a very good shortlist. The two frontrunners are both excellent - they seem bright and keen and hardworking. One is reasonably good-looking; the other is exceedingly plain - obese and with bad skin. The role is not
2、 client- facing so looks should not matter. Yet I find myself inclined to hire the person who looks more prepossessing - which is unfair as the plain one surely needs a break. What should I do? 我在为一项讨论工作(面试)候选人,并有了一份特别好的入围名单,面试官更重才还是更重貌,来自读者的建议 。两位候选人都特别优秀他们看起来聪慧、热忱而且勤奋。其中一位容貌出众;另一位则过于难看比拟胖,而且皮肤不好。聘
3、请的职位不是面对客户的,因此长相并不重要。不过我发觉自己倾向于聘用那个看起来更讨人喜爱的家伙这有失公正,由于长相难看的人确定也需要时机。我该怎么办呢? 经理,女性,38岁 Manager, female, 38 露西的答复 Lucy”s Answer You should hire the fat and spotty one. This is not because you feel he (or she?) deserves a break - it isn”t your job to play social engineer. It is because he is almost cer
4、tainly better at the job than the one who is easier on the eye. 你应当聘用那个脸上长满粉刺的胖子。这不是由于你觉得他(或她?)应当得到这个时机扮演社会工程师不是你的职责。而只是由于他几乎确定会比那个更养眼的家伙干得更好。 You claim that the two are equally skilled and industrious. If you are right, you should hire the looker as lookers are easier to have around. But I don”t th

They are paid up to 15 per cent more and they advance more quickly. This might make one inclined to cho
6、ose the cute one. 你说两个人都同样有才能和勤勉。假如你说的是真的,你应当聘请那个容貌出众的,由于容貌出众的人更可能阅历丰富。但我认为你说的不是真的。 However, if you consider the reason for this discrepancy, the odds shift towards the fatty. Beauties outperform beasts mainly because we expect them to do so. If you show people pictures of job candidates, they rate
7、the beautiful as more trustworthy, more intelligent and more diligent than the plain. Fat people score particularly badly. One US study had people rate the obese as awkward, lazy, uncooperative and unconscientious. 然而,假如你考虑一下造成这种差距的缘由,时机就会转向那个胖子。美女赛过野兽,主要是由于我们估计他们会表现出众 Lookist perceptions run so dee

You should hire him at once - indeed, I hope you did so weeks ago. The only reason for not doing so is if you
10、 feel the heavy, spotty one looks so dreadful that you physically shrink from him. Then mark yourself down and hire the looker. 因此,你那位长相难看的候选人能够走到这一步,说明他远胜于另一个人。你应当马上聘用他实际上,我盼望你在几周前就已经聘用了他。拒绝聘用他的唯一理由是,假如你觉得一个满脸痘痘的胖子看起来让人感觉不舒适,会让你躲着他。假如是这样,降低标准,聘用那个养眼的人吧。 读者的建议 Suggestions from readers I”ve managed r
11、esearch teams for years, and can tell you there is absolutely no correlation between looks and skill. Some of the ugliest persons are brilliant, and some of the best-looking are stupid; and vice-versa. Engage the two leading candidates in further evaluation. It may take time but one candidate surely
12、 will emerge as the best colleague and researcher. 1. 我有着多年的讨论团队治理阅历,因此可以告知你:长相与才能肯定无关。一些很丑的人特别聪慧,而一些长得美丽的家伙却非常愚蠢;反过来也是一样。你应当进一步对这两个候选人进展评估。这可能花费时间,但这样做可能会招到最好的同事和讨论人员。 匿名,男性 Anon, male Depends if the candidates are male or female. An attractive woman will be a threat to you. I use my looks to get w

After the recession ends he/she will be offered fewer enticements to leave. 3. 聘用那个长的难看的!在经济衰退完毕后,他/她离职的可能性比拟小。 参谋,男性,74岁 Consultant, male, 74 Hire the slim one. Obese people are more likely to take time off owing to illness.
15、 Obesity is a lifestyle choice and so you”d not be discriminating against a person with a disability by not hiring the fat one. 4. 聘用那个苗条的家伙。胖人更可能请病假。肥胖是一种生活方式的选择,因此你不会因没有聘用胖人,而让人觉得你在卑视残疾人。 匿名,男性 Anon, male From personal experience, dealing with adult-onset acne makes one infinitely tougher and more resilient at work. 5. 从我的个人经受来说,与成年期粉刺做斗争会让人无比顽强,在工作中适应力量更强。 匿名,女性 Anon, female Winston Churchill was overweight, unfit, drank, smoked, wasn”t very good looking . . . Got the picture? 6. 温斯顿?丘吉尔(Winston Churchill)超重、不安康、酗酒、抽烟,长得不太好看看过照片了吗?
