接到他人要求你給予推薦介紹,是個榮譽,也是建立人脈關係的好機會。但是,如果你自己對請求者並不認可,你還是要謹慎,以免損害了你個人的識人之明。
那麼,你該如何回應呢?
- 坦誠以對。與其巧言回避,造成後續的誤解,不如誠懇的告訴他你為何不能為他做出推薦介紹。你可以告訴他,或許他的能力不足,或是時機還不成熟,或是他要求的推薦安排並不能實現他的目的。
- 提供另外一個選擇機會。如果可行的話,提供給這位推薦請求者另外其一個選擇機會,並且給予適當的建議,他如何可以獲得這樣的新選擇機會。
- 保持聯繫。如果你確實願意在後續時間幫助他,你就實在的告訴他。將你的大門開放,他也會繼續對你尊重、感激你的好意。
How to refuse a request for recommendation?
It's an honor to receive a recommendation from someone else. It's also a good opportunity to establish a personal relationship. However, if you do not approve of the requester yourself, you should be cautious so as not to damage your personal knowledge.
So, how do you respond?
- Be honest. Instead of avoiding and causing subsequent misunderstandings, tell him in good faith why you can't recommend him. You can tell him that maybe his abilities are not enough, or his timing is not ripe, or that the referral arrangements he asks for do not achieve his goals.
- Provide another choice. If feasible, provide the referral requester with another choice and give appropriate advice on how he can get such a new choice.
- Keep in touch. If you really want to help him in the future, you can tell him. Open your door, and he will continue to respect and appreciate your kindness.
