对于求职者来说，海投简历后没有接到面试电话是一回事，参加面试后没有接到录用电话又是另外一回事。在面试后等待HR电话的漫漫长夜里，求职者往往会焦躁不安，患得患失。其实，HR没有给你电话的原因不外乎以下8个，看好了，别再杞人忧天，自寻烦恼了。
You Didn't Follow Up
你没有及时跟进
Don't expect an employer to make the first move after you've interviewed. Following up after a job interview isn't an optional gesture; it's mandatory if you want to stay in the running for the position. Initiating communication after your interview, even if it's just an email to say thank-you and you're enthusiastic about the opportunity, separates you from another candidate who wasn't thoughtful about her follow-up.
面试后，不要妄想雇主会先联系你。如果你还想要这份工作的话，那么面试后的跟进就不是一个可选项，而是必选项。面试后主动和雇主联系，哪怕只是简单地发一封邮件，表示你的感谢，说明你对这个机会的渴望。及时跟进会让你在其他没有那么做的求职者中脱颖而出。
Your Contact Info Was Wrong or Lost
你的联系方式错误或遗失
It's a cover letter must to include your contact information, even though you already put it on your resume. Prepare for the possibility that your papers might get separated so the hiring manager isn't left without a way to contact you. Also, be sure to triple check your email address and phone number that you provide — there are few things more careless than providing incorrect contact information.
即使你在简历里已经写明了联系信息，你也要在求职信上再写一次。你要做好这样的准备，说不定你的简历和求职信被分开来了，所以HR就没有办法联系到你。另外，要再三地检查你的邮箱地址和电话号码是否正确。如果联系方式写错的话，那就太不仔细了。
They're Taking Their Time
他们不急着招人
If your position is a newly created role the employer may not be in a rush to fill it; they'll want to see a range of applicants before selecting one. Pay attention to the date the position was first listed — if you applied soon after it was posted, the employer may be holding out on making a decision until the job has been open for a certain amount of time.
如果你申请的职位是新增的，那么雇主可能不会那么急着招人到岗。他们会在一大堆求职者里挑挑拣拣，最后再确定人选。注意该职位招聘信息的最初发布时间，如果你是第一批去面试的人，那么雇主可能想要等一段时间，有了足够多的人来面试之后再决定。
They're on Vacation
他们放假了
It's a frustrating truth, but hiring is affected by seasonality. Hiring managers take vacations just like everyone else, and your interview may have occurred right before that someone in charge (or the person she answers to) put on her out of office reply. A delayed response could be due to a peak vacay time at the company, a likely reason during Summer or near the holidays.
一个可悲的事实是：招聘是个季节性工作。人事经理也和其他人一样要放假，而你的面试很有可能就在某个负责人放假前刚完成。这样的话，负责人只有在休假回来后才能继续处理招聘事宜。如果面试后一直没有回应，那么就有可能碰上了公司里的休假高峰，在暑假或者国定假期里很容易出现这种情况。
Budget Hasn't Been Finalized
预算还没敲定
Departments' budgets dictate how much they can pay new hires and whether or not adding personnel is possible. Companies announce budget changes at different times and can depend on outside financing if it's a start-up, so you may not be receiving a call because the department is waiting on its final numbers.
部门预算决定着是否能招人，能给多少钱。公司的预算可能在不同的时间会有所变化，有些公司可能还要根据外部融资来决定，特别是那些刚起步的公司。所以，如果你没有接到雇主的电话，那么可能是招聘的部门正在等待最后敲定的预算结果。
There Aren't Enough Hours in the Day
白天工作时间忙不过来
Keep in mind that your employment isn't the only thing the hiring manager has on her plate, not to mention there are several people involved in hiring decisions. If it's a particularly busy time in the industry then hiring could be a lower priority than usual.
记住，招聘并不是HR唯一要忙的事，更何况除了HR，还有其他人会参与到招聘的决策。如果这段时间正好是该行业最忙的时候，那么招聘这类事很有可能会被排在不那么重要的位置上来处理。
An Offer Has Already Been Extended . . .
工作邀请已经发出
. . . to someone else. If the position has already been offered to another candidate and is waiting for that person to accept the offer, they'll withhold from making contact with other applicants in the running. This process can take longer than you'd think — the preferred candidate could be on vacation or trying to negotiate salary. An employer won't let you know a position has been filled until it's been formalized.
工作邀请已经发出，不过是给了别人。如果是这种情况的话，那么雇主就是在等对方的回应，这个时候，他们是不会和其他的求职者联系的。这一过程比你想象中的要更长，因为可能这个收到offer的人正在休假或者在和招人单位洽谈薪酬。在招聘岗位最终确定前，雇主是不会让你知道的。
The Position No Longer Exists
你应聘的职位已经不存在了
Shake-ups can occur that reorganize departments and eliminate the position you interviewed for. This kind of change can cause higher-ups to be distracted and they might not get around to announcing the news to candidates as soon as you'd hope.
人事变动会重组部门，精简岗位，而你所应聘的那个岗位很有可能就不存在了。这类变动对高层影响更大，可能没有人会分神去通知你这个岗位已经取消了。
