拿到工作邀約被問到期望薪資時,有其他面試進行中、有其他薪資很好的機會或手中沒有其他邀約,該如何用英文回覆招募員?想要主動詢問面試資訊流程、把面試時間提早、爭取更多考慮時間又可以怎麼問?本文作者為資深軟體工程師組成的ExplainThis團隊,整理與招募員對話的11種英文回信模版。

如果招募員在一開始來信時,有把接下來各個階段會有什麼不同關卡都展開來說了,我們可以像下面範例這樣,詳細詢問下一個面試階段的資訊;如果招募員沒有直接告知完整流程,建議主動詢問。
Thank you for the update and for moving me to the next step in the process. I'm excited to continue. Could you please provide some insight into what I might expect during the phone screen? Any details on the format or topics covered would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to it! |
中文版本可以這樣回覆:
感謝來信告知,並安排下一階段的面試。期待能與貴公司在下場面試有更深入的交流。 想請問是否能分享更多關於電話面試的資訊?例如電話面試的形式、會涉及什麼主題等等,謝謝。 |
書中我們有談到,推薦盡可能把面試都安排在相近的時段,例如一個月密集面試完所有公司,會好過面完一間後再面下一間。最主要的原因是因為到後面的談薪水階段,如果手上同時有多個工作邀約,能談的籌碼會變比較多,這樣能讓自己談薪水時比較輕鬆。
但如果有時候時間沒辦法安排那麼剛好,那就需要詢問招募員能不能盡可能把面試約早一點。具體來說,可以這樣寫:
Thank you for the encouraging update! I'm excited to hear that the team wants to move forward. I wanted to let you know that I have an offer meeting with another company soon, and their potential offer is quite attractive. However, XXX is still my top choice. I'm willing to be as flexible as possible with scheduling the final interview to make it happen sooner rather than later. I look forward to the final interview! |
中文可以這樣回:
感謝來信告知,很期待後續的面試。 由於近期我同時正在與另一家公司談,他們初步提了很有吸引力的條件。不過因為XXX仍是我的首選,因此希望能加速完成最後一輪面試。如果能及早安排面試,我願意配合貴公司的時間安排。 非常期待最後一輪的面試! |
如果是在還沒開始正式面試前,招募員就先問期望薪資,這時你可以說希望先多了解團隊,希望等到有正式的工作邀約後再討論。
I'm very excited about this potential role, and I'd love to learn more about the job and the team. If it's not too much trouble, could we revisit this in more depth later if I'm fortunate enough to receive an offer? |
如果有正在面試的其他工作,且那些工作可能有競爭力的薪水,即使你還沒真的拿到其他工作邀約,可以提說其他潛在還在面試的工作,然後說想先了解目前自己在市場可能拿到的薪資條件,然後把球丟還給招募員。
I appreciate your interest in my salary expectations. At the moment, I'm in the interview process with a few other companies that may offer competitive compensation packages. While I haven't received any concrete offers yet, I'm eager to gain a better understanding of my market value. I'm very interested in this opportunity with your company, and I'd like to learn more about the role and responsibilities before discussing compensation. This will help me better understand the value I can bring to your team. Would it be possible for you to provide some insight into the salary range you have in mind for this position? This information would be incredibly helpful as I evaluate my options and ensure we're aligned in our expectations. |
這時可以直接把話題轉移到競爭對手的工作邀約,表明自己目前拿到的數字,以及不希望因為薪資問題而沒有選貴公司,然後再把球丟還給招募員。
I've got to say, I'm really excited about the possibility of joining [公司名稱]. There's so much that appeals to me about your company, especially [提1-2點特別喜歡該公司的點]. I wanted to be upfront with you about something – I've actually received an offer from another company. They've put forward a package of [其他工作邀約開的待遇]. Now, I'm not telling you this to play hardball or anything. It's just that I'd hate to miss out on working with you folks because of the compensation. I'm wondering if there might be some wiggle room in your offer to make it competitive with what's on the table elsewhere? I really think I could bring a lot to your team, and I'd love to find a way to make this work for both of us. What are your thoughts on this? I'm all ears and ready to discuss further. |
這時可以根據前面有談到的薪水網站(例如 Levels.fyi),你目標職級中薪水偏高的那個區段,然後說你偏好在的區段。即使這時候可能你並沒有在面試其他公司,可以用以下的回覆:
我目前有其他幾個正在探索的機會,因為面試下來真的很喜歡 [公司名稱],如果 [公司名稱] 在薪水面能達到 [你研究到該公司可能開出的區間中偏高的那一段薪資],我會願意直接接受,並停下目前其他的面試流程。 |
用英文可以這樣回:
To be honest, I'm currently exploring a few other opportunities. But I've got to say, after going through the interview process, I'm really impressed with [公司名稱]. You guys really stand out to me because [提 1 - 2 點特別喜歡該公司的點]. Here's where I'm at: if [公司名稱] could offer a package in the ballpark of [提你研究到,該公司可能開出的區間中偏高的數字], I'd be ready to accept on the spot. I'd even be willing to wrap up my other ongoing interview processes. That's how excited I am about the possibility of joining your team. What are your thoughts on this? Is this something we could potentially work towards? |
如先前提到,在收到招募員初次提供的工作待遇後,不要直接就答應下來,要根據你做的事前功課來談。然而,要如何具體開始呢?推薦可以用下方的模板。
Dear [招募員的名字], Thank you for the offer. I'm excited about joining [公司名稱] and would like to discuss the compensation package briefly. Based on my research and [specific skills/experience], I've found that similar roles in our industry typically range from $[數字] to $[數字]. Given my [key strength], I believe a salary between $[數字範圍] would align well with the value I can bring. Is there flexibility to adjust the offer closer to this range? If not immediately possible, could we consider: • A performance-based salary review after [數字] months? • Additional bonuses or equity options? • A clear path to increase based on specific milestones? I'm confident we can find a mutually beneficial arrangement. What are your thoughts on this? Best regards, [你的名字] |
如果你談到滿意的工作待遇,決定要接受工作邀約,則可以使用以下的模板。
Dear [招募員的名字], I hope this email finds you well. I'm writing to formally accept the offer for the [職稱] role at [公司名稱]. I'm thrilled about the opportunity to join your team and contribute to [你想為公司與職位帶來的貢獻]. As discussed, I understand that: My start date will be [日期] The annual salary is [薪水] [可以補上其他任何有談到的福利] Please let me know if there are any additional steps I need to take before my start date or any paperwork I should complete. I'm looking forward to starting this new chapter with [公司名稱] and working alongside the talented team you've assembled. Thank you again for this opportunity. I'm excited to get started! Best regards, [你的名字] |
如果你還有其他正在面試的公司,但是已經拿到某家公司的工作邀約,而這時候該公司希望你盡早給出答覆。有些招募員甚至會給緊迫的答覆時限,例如要兩天內答覆,這時你可以這樣回覆:
Thank you so much for extending this offer. I'm genuinely excited about the opportunity to join [公司名稱]. Given the significance of this decision, both for myself and for the company, I was hoping I could have a bit more time to give it the thorough consideration it deserves. I want to ensure that when I come on board, I'm fully committed and ready to give my all to the team. I'm currently in the final stages of another interview process, and I believe it would be prudent to complete that before making my decision. This will allow me to evaluate all my options comprehensively and make the most informed choice possible. |
除了爭取時間的方式,另一種方式是去爭取跟該公司的人多聊聊。這個是一舉兩得的做法,因為一來能爭取更多時間,二來能有機會蒐集更多資訊來協助自己做決策。這時你可以這樣回覆:
Thanks so much for this offer – I'm really excited about the possibility of joining the team at [公司名稱]. Before I make my final decision, I was wondering if it might be possible to have a chat with [某個團隊成員,或用人主管] to get a better feel for the day- to-day aspects of the role? I find that these conversations are incredibly valuable in helping me understand how I can best contribute to the team. I'm eager to wrap this up and give you my decision, and I believe this conversation will help me do that with full confidence. Let me know if this is doable, and if so, when might work best? Really appreciate your help with this. |
如果你決定婉拒工作邀約,則可以使用以下的模板。
Dear [招募員的名字], I hope this email finds you well. I want to thank you for offering me the position of [職稱] at [公司名稱]. I appreciate the time you and your team invested in interviewing me and considering me for this role. After careful consideration, I have decided to decline the offer. While I was impressed by [公司名稱] and the opportunity presented, I have decided to pursue a different path that aligns more closely with my current career goals. I want to express my gratitude for your confidence in me and for the professionalism shown throughout the interview process. [公司名稱] is clearly an excellent organization, and I wish you and your team continued success. Thank you again for your time and consideration. I hope our paths may cross again in the future. Best regards, [你的名字] |
