Learn to sell yourself at job fairs

The day before yesterday, I participated in a graduate exchange meeting of a local university

It was an open-air venue. The weather was very cold, so I couldn’t care about my image. I wore a thick down jacket and stood in front of the recruitment in front of the stage.

First of all, the school’s logistics services are in place. There are volunteers wearing ribbons (probably freshmen and sophomores) serving everywhere, and students also bring hot water to us from time to time. I would like to express my gratitude here. grateful.

There are many students, but few of them are suitable.

The application skills of college students are very problematic. When they come to the stage, they don’t ask anything else but ask: What is the salary of this position? Or what does this position do? Or are there other requirements for this position?

In this regard, let me first review my unit’s roll-up advertisement: the salary and benefits are not mentioned; the job positions are written in industry terms instead of the majors studied by the students, resulting in students not knowing the main work of each position What is it.

Because I was also a graduate, I was really ashamed of myself at that time. I was really a blank slate and didn’t understand anything.

In fact, I think schools still need to provide students with some necessary employment training. At least they must learn to sell themselves, and at least they must learn not to ask stupid questions. If my school could offer such a course at that time, I would have saved myself a lot of detours during my job search.

What is the salary for this position?

Basically, I will not take the initiative to ask this question when applying for a job, unless I have a clear intention of employment. Generally speaking, the company will not clearly tell you the specific salary of this position before hiring you. And the first problem is salary. It will make the employer think that you are working for money. At least it is not very noble or ideal.

The person who asked this question was eliminated first.

What does this position do?

If you don’t understand this industry, you must also learn to understand the meaning of this position literally. Not all of it, but almost the same.

If you have determined the industry direction in which you are looking for a job, it is best to go to relevant websites to learn, which is also a good stepping stone. Another classmate asked me about the jobs of the six positions listed above, which was really hard for me to understand.

Are there any other requirements for this position?

If the company states it clearly, there will basically be no other rigid requirements. If there are other requirements, it means that the company will politely reject you.

Because we tend to be hard-working people, we specifically asked about school expenses and family status during the interview. This caused many students to misunderstand and think this unit is funny, thinking that these questions have nothing to do with work. However, I learned from these questions that some students spend more than 10,000 yuan of pocket money a year but their family conditions are very average. Although some students spend more money, they use it to study instead of eating, drinking and having fun. Some students have ordinary family conditions. It’s not good, but it’s also bad at studying. . . . .

I also met a student, who was basically okay. When we were having a pleasant conversation, he answered a phone call, which made me think he was very rude.

Students stay in the ivory tower for too long and are too far away from society. I hope that students can get help from their seniors, become more mature, and ask fewer stupid questions.
