1. Interviews are often attended by the company’s HR manager, and due to the system of state-owned enterprises, the HR manager can often decide which candidates to choose. Therefore, being able to enter the interview stage after being eliminated from the first batch of resumes shows that the HR manager has affirmed the quality of the applicant, and the interview is only to further confirm their judgment.
