Napoleon hired a secretary.

March, April and May are the golden months for job-hopping. If you are already eager to try, or encounter various questions from the examiner during the interview, I suggest you read this story first.

/kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, French President Napoleon had to deal with many national affairs every day. Because of his busy work, he decided to advertise in several newspapers and recruit a presidential secretary.

You know, being the president's secretary, that's the best, fame and fortune. As soon as this advertisement came out, the letter of application flew like snowflakes, and many candidates posted their own beautiful photos and wrote gorgeous personal profiles.

But most of these letters are exactly the same. For example, their first sentence was almost like this: Dear Mr. President, I saw your advertisement in the newspaper for a secretary, and I hope I can apply for this position. I am so-and-so years old and graduated from so-and-so school. If I can be selected by you, I will work hard. ...

Napoleon was very disappointed after reading these letters in his precious free time. When he was considering whether to give up the recruitment plan, a special letter arrived late. The letter wrote: "Dear Sir, the advertisement you advertised will certainly attract hundreds of application letters. I believe that your work must be very busy and you don't have enough time to read and deal with these things carefully. So, you just need to dial this number gently ... I'll be happy to help you organize your letters, which will save you precious time. You don't have to doubt my work ability and quality at all, because I have fifteen years of secretarial work experience ... "

This letter made Napoleon shine at the moment. He was so surprised that he decided to hire this person as a secretary.

This incident tells us that in the face of many competitors, it is impossible to stand out by recommending yourself blindly. Know how to put yourself in others' shoes, look at and consider problems from others' standpoint, and help others solve problems. The world is yours.

Well, that's the end of the story

What does this recruitment story inspire you? In fact, in the tide of society, each of us is involved in a hurry. In every line of our business, there are industry leaders, navigators and helmsmen.

How to stand out from many competitors? Several lessons I have summed up myself.

Today's society is changing with each passing day and updating iteratively. The competition among enterprises in the market has long been the competition of core talents. If the core talents in an enterprise take the lead in developing top products, they can take the lead in occupying market share and making high profits. At this time, the same industry has long been dumped for several blocks.

In fact, there are many talents in China. Especially in first-tier cities like Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the most important thing is talent. Being conscientious and down-to-earth is only the most basic requirement. However, if enterprises want to get ahead, they must have innovative talents with brainstorming.

Take a friend of mine as an example. He has worked in her unit for more than ten years. He is particularly careful and dedicated, and the work assigned to him by the leaders can be perfect.

All kinds of tabular data, summary and classification, etc. arranged by the leaders are in good order, and they never let the leaders worry or trouble them.

Her job is stable, and she is very satisfied with her present job. But the only drawback is that she has been following the arrangement of the leader for more than ten years, standing still, without promotion, and her salary increase is only a handful.

Tell me about another classmate of mine. He is particularly subjective and flexible. His ideas are always novel, and he likes challenges.

As long as his ideas and plans are brewing to a very mature stage, he will ask the leaders to brainstorm. He is committed to project research, how to save costs, how to seize the market quickly, and how to get through the blocking points. He always has a feeling of being ahead of the times. His heart is always in front of the leader and he is more careful than the boss thinks. He reversed his role and regarded enterprise development as his own career. So, how can the boss resist not liking such an employee who is both worry-free and labor-saving?

In this way, with excellent performance, my classmate has been promoted and raised in recent years, and has been far ahead among his colleagues who joined the company.

I read this sentence from a book. In other words, when employees report problems to leaders, don't go to see him with a question mark and ask the leaders what to do. What's next? Who should be arranged to carry out it?

If you ask this question, even if you don't say it, the leader is disgusted. The leader is very busy every day and has no time to consider so many details.

All we have to do is go to see him with the answer. For this thorny problem, I list in advance the solution ABCD that I think is more reliable. In front of the leader, I just need to let the leader know the situation and let him decide which option.

Does it make leaders feel relaxed? You can solve many problems by yourself.

This is the case with the clever secretary that Napoleon hired. He didn't throw the problem directly to Napoleon, but put himself in his shoes and put forward a solution directly.

If you have enough self-confidence and enough thinking, you can achieve yourself!
