Interview experience in foreign companies

Three days later, I received an E-MAIL from this company. I was full of joy. When I opened the letter, the beginning was good and the middle was good, but the result was that I was disappointed that "the interview failed." Fortunately, the company told me the reason why I failed the interview...

That was when I was in school. Enter a college with good or not bad grades. In terms of study, I completed everything to the standard of being able to pass. The end of a semester. I was preparing to participate in social internship, and later I joined a foreign company through the relationship with my classmates. It was a small exercise. With my excellent conditions, I successfully passed the dangerous period - independence. At the beginning, because I was new here, many of the tasks at hand could not be entrusted to me. I was like a hotel waiter, running errands for others, delivering messages, and conveying opinions. It seemed like a small thing, but it was actually very training.

When I first started working, due to the lack of these conventional things, society was not as simple as school life, with interesting news, sentiment, and rich campus life. During the internship period, these no longer existed. Boring work, boring communication, no matter how hard I tried, I could not integrate into this group. The worries bothered me all the time and made me sick.

With a period of practice, I slowly figured out the rules, and my heart was not as impetuous as at the beginning. I stayed away from the hustle and bustle and entered the routine, and I was able to control my wandering mood.

The company often provides some short-term business training. For me, an outsider, I don’t need to participate because I had the illusion of a bright future when I was in school. Besides, I can expand my knowledge and broaden my horizons.

The trainer is a young and beautiful lady, tall and with a gentle light in her eyes. Intuitively, she should be the backbone of our company's business, because I have heard seniors say that if a woman becomes a leader and plays an important role in the company, her beautiful appearance will have more connotation. There are two possibilities: either you can be promoted based on your high professional level. Or rely on physical superiority. How could I, a fledgling me, have such profound insight! However, having said that, after taking a class, I really made new discoveries.

Talking about pride, pride is a manifestation of vanity, and vanity means thinking that you are not better than others, but you have to pretend to be better than others on the surface, or strive for success through your own efforts. Be better than others. Proud people always value themselves too much, thinking they are better than others, and show off in public whenever they have the opportunity, showing off in public, showing off a arrogant and arrogant look, especially in front of subordinates and people who think they are inferior to themselves. It is arrogant and arrogant, with the nature of belittling and ridiculing. So pride has more ugliness than vanity, but there is no enterprising spirit in vanity.

However, being proud of the achievements of others or groups is the excitement and passion from the heart, the affirmation and praise of others, and the embodiment of collective honor and pride. This is the same as being proud of one's own. Pride is fundamentally different. This kind of pride will not only stimulate your own enthusiasm for progress, but also have an inspiring effect on others or groups. This pride is the call of an upright soul to glory.

I learned something from this class, but I didn’t expect that there are so many theories outside of school. You can't find it in our textbooks.

After the two-month internship period, I returned to school and wrote some thoughts and feelings about working outside, as well as a semester summary.

The second semester has begun. My performance in the previous period has helped me a lot. I have also experienced some changes in my personality, such as: patience, personality and other things! It can be said that my self-confidence has been greatly improved, and the biggest gain seems to be that I am much smarter than before.

In the blink of an eye, it’s summer vacation. As I go to school in a different place, it stands to reason that I have to go home during the vacation. In order to earn some learning experience, a good sword needs constant training, just like a sword, I need to break in and practice again. In the evening, I prepared test materials and certificates in the dormitory. After sorting out the mess, I turned on my computer and checked the talent pool of a certain city to see if there was any job suitable for me. After flipping through page after page, my eyes finally landed on the website of a multinational company. Recruitment position - Translator. This is a Canadian multinational company. Based on the introduction of conditions and good performance during work, the company can send employees abroad for further study based on their special performance. go. This new discovery really attracted me greatly, and I decided to interview this company.

Early the next morning, I got up early. After everything was washed, it was time to set off. After grabbing the materials prepared last night, I set foot on the road to the smoke-free battlefield. I came to Block A of an office, asked which floor the company was on, then walked to the elevator and pressed the button for the 28th floor. The door opened. I stepped into the elevator and waited. After a while, I reached the 28th floor and got out of the elevator. Door, walking in the corridor, looking at the large transparent windows everywhere. At that time, I thought how great it would be to be able to work in such an environment! An immaculate office building, clean and flawless, so beautiful! Watching people coming and going in front of me, hurriedly passing by you, everyone's face condensed with a look, so serious, it gave me the feeling. When I came to the front desk of the company, a lady was working on the computer. "How can I get to the general manager's office? I'm here to take an exam," I asked. "Go inside, but you have to go to the general manager's secretary first. Did you see the sign hanging on the door inside?" I thanked this beautiful girl. Her gentle attitude made me relax from the tension and depression before the interview. When I walked to the secretary's office, I saw the sign in front of the door - Secretary's Office. I knocked on the door gently, followed by a polite "come in".

I walked into the office and saw a beautiful girl sitting there working. I explained my background, she asked me to sit down, and then said to me: "The general manager who interviewed you is a Canadian. "The name is Pete." "Does he speak Chinese?"

"No, he only knows a few simple words. If you can't handle it, it doesn't matter. I can go in with you and help you translate." But there are not many opportunities like this, what do you think?”

“Oh, no. I think I can, let me try!”

Fortunately, I have done internship before. It is also a foreign-funded enterprise and has had many training opportunities. Of course, this exam will not have a big impact on me. Besides, my major has also built up my confidence. I also prepared for it that night and had already prepared the questions that should be asked. After she agreed, she led me into the general manager's office. I was still a little excited. This was my first interview with a foreigner. We were introduced by the secretary and we greeted each other.

“Hello.” “Hello.”

He actually spoke Chinese. Although the pronunciation of the words was not so round, it was enough. After all, he didn’t know the other person’s language. How deep is the water? I'd better play it safe. Pete is very easy-going, and does not have the stern, senile look that is inherent to Chinese people. Our mood lightened up even more. The entire office was not enveloped in a tense atmosphere. Pete politely asked me to sit on the sofa, and I took the opportunity to look around the room. Chinese style design, nothing like European style design. Pete sat across the table from the boss.

“You are a student, oh! Not bad.”

“Yes.”

“Can you introduce yourself in English?”

"Of course."

The general situation is all said in English. After hearing this, Peter nodded with a smile and continued to ask: "Okay, can you tell me why you chose this job?"

I answered his question calmly.

After a heated exchange of words, I found out that the questions asked were actually very simple. I didn’t find them difficult, and they were a bit beyond my expectation. After that, I relaxed myself. This may be the inherent characteristic of the boss! My little emotion was immediately caught by Peter. He's so insightful.

This time he asked me the last question with a serious face: "I want to know in the company you worked for before, when you were working, whether at work or after get off work, you took the money in urgent need. Have you ever given up company supplies, such as a pen, and returned them to the company after you use them?"

What a simple question! It all sounds a bit ridiculous. In our work, we just don’t participate in work. Small behaviors like this in school are nothing! However, I still felt there was a problem and didn't answer it right away. After thinking about it, I thought he might be testing my honesty, or whether I have the habit of taking company supplies!

After confirming, I answered "No."

"OK, not bad."

Pete was still smiling, and then nodded to tell me that the interview was over. The result was known in three days and I was asked to go back and wait for the good news.

That’s it. It’s such a simple interview.

I was sitting alone on the bus back to school, still thinking about it, but I was still in a good mood, because I answered all the questions well, so the result should be good.

Three days later, I received an E-MAIL from this company. I was full of joy. When I opened the letter, the beginning and the middle were good, but the result made me very disappointed. Disappointment "failed interview". Fortunately, the company told me the reason why the interview failed. It was written in great detail. The reason was very simple. It was the mistake in asking the last question.

The problem to be explained in this question is: testing a person’s honesty. In Canada, if a person loses his integrity, his life will be extremely difficult in the future. Just as Chinese people are disgusted with thieves, this is why in recruitment, if employees perform well, they will have the opportunity to study abroad. It turns out that the drunkard's intention is not to drink!

This touch will affect my future growth. Now I have left Ivory and truly entered the society, and I have a deeper understanding and deepening of the word integrity in my dictionary.
