What preparations do you need to make if you want to apply for a job in consulting industry?

The preparation for job hunting in the consulting industry is as follows:

1. Understand the market employment information:

Nowadays, it is an era of rapid information development. To find a company that is most in line with its own strength and closest to the goal of choosing a job, you must first obtain the market employment information. Employment information refers to the news and information about job hunting and employment, which generally includes the national political and economic situation, employment guidance plan, the demand of various social departments and the development trend of various industries and occupations in the future. More specifically, it also includes the requirements of some industries and departments for the quality of employees, the development of a certain profession, the differences in regions, the specific situation of the unit, such as scale, future, interpersonal relationship, treatment, and the supply and demand of college graduates.

For example, foreign companies attract many college graduates and senior talents with high salary, high welfare, first-class working environment and more development opportunities, and are the first choice for job seekers.

but foreign companies are good, but there is a very high condition, that is, English is good. Few foreign companies do not require CET-6, which is the basic condition. Aside from this requirement, the dazzling stacks of all-English forms also hint at the importance of English in the company. Procter & Gamble Company once claimed that "English is only a tool, and truly talented students will not be rejected because of English", and its recruitment forms are still designed in English. During the interview, the English level will be tested. Recruiters will ask students a lot of questions in English, not only to test students' comprehensive quality, but also to test their ability to respond to English. A candidate spoke English with the recruiter for two hours during the interview, and it seemed that he could not speak Chinese. This is one of the employment standards of foreign companies, and this is the market employment information.

There are three main ways to understand the employment information in the market:

1. News media. For example, the employment information in newspapers and periodicals is very extensive. For example, Guangzhou Daily, Southern Talent Market News, Yangcheng Evening News and Nanfang Daily have all opened job-seeking columns such as "Job Square", "Recruitment Guide", "Choosing a Job Today" and "Talent Market" respectively. In addition, China Personnel News, Employment Guidance for Graduates and Employment Guidance for Guangdong Graduates.

2. Various supply and demand meetings and recruitment fairs.

3. School. Many schools have become specialized employment guidance offices for students, but the media should be regarded as the most important channel, because it is not only the latest and fastest news report of policies and employment market information, but also a huge information officer in its recruitment advertisement, which can broaden the employment ideas of job seekers and make job seekers have a definite goal.

from the above, it can be seen that the larger the scope of collecting employment information, the better, the more specific the better, and the earlier the better. "Before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass come first". If you are good at capturing and analyzing job-seeking information, you can take the initiative in your own hands and have a much greater grasp of job-seeking success. Otherwise, at the last moment, it is difficult to grasp, so we have to rely on our own imagination and speculation to "follow our feelings" and get into trouble in job hunting; Or passively obey the orders of others and blindly choose according to popular views in society.

2. Know the employer's situation:

Before deciding to apply, job seekers should have a preliminary impression of the company and master detailed information about the company, so as to "know yourself and know yourself". If you know nothing about the employer, the interview will fail.

Two years ago, a male undergraduate majoring in marketing in Guangzhou confidently applied for the position of salesman of Avon, a company invested by the United States in Guangzhou. He thought Avon was just a beautiful name of this company and had no idea that Avon was a registered trademark of women's cosmetics. Therefore, in the interview, when the examiner asked him why he applied for the company, he replied without hesitation: "I like Avon." As a result, the serious interviewer could not help laughing. This gentleman lost because of this sentence. Imagine, how can a person who knows nothing about his products be admitted as a salesman?

Understanding the basic situation of the employer includes:

1. Recent newspaper contents about the employer, basic knowledge of the industry to which the employer belongs

2. Recent major products or business projects of the employer

3. Personnel composition of the employer

4. Employers and the importance they attach to talents

5. History and development background of the employer

6. In their view, in the final analysis, enterprise competition is talent competition, employing people properly and prospering; If people make mistakes, they will all lose. Kong Ming, a hero of the Three Kingdoms, is of great wisdom, but only because he misused Ma Su and lost the street pavilion, which led to a lifelong regret. Therefore, only by entrusting those doers who have real talents, practical knowledge, courage to forge ahead and loyalty to their duties can enterprises ensure that they continue to expand in the fierce market competition, firmly grasp the initiative of competition and remain invincible forever. On the other hand, if we take personal likes and dislikes as the criterion of employing people, and blindly reuse those who are good at flattery and flattery without real skills, it is bound to produce a negative atmosphere of "saying it is better than doing it, saying it will not join the club", which will seriously dampen the enterprising spirit and enthusiasm of employees, undermine the cohesion of enterprises, and eventually lead to the brain drain, chaotic management and even a passive situation of business failure, which will limit enterprises to difficulties. Such an enterprise doesn't even need to participate in the application.

it can be seen that the success or failure of an enterprise depends largely on whether it gets good talents, and talents should also know about the enterprise. The ways of understanding can be news reports, magazine articles and various information books, or friends and relatives, and if possible, they can also go to the unit for on-the-spot reconnaissance and personally understand the situation.

If you have mastered the specific materials of your company, you can get them easily when you need them, so that you won't have to say "I don't know much about your company" during the interview, but you can explain why you are applying for this job with your own advantages, so as to be targeted and show that this company is very suitable for your interest. In this way, it not only shows your advantages, but also gives people a capable, alert and steady image.

At the same time, collecting information extensively and understanding the company can help job seekers identify the main direction, examine the company more accurately and objectively, choose the company suitable for their own development, and avoid detours. This requires your calm thinking and clear judgment.

For example, when you go to the talent market, if some units charge job seekers registration fees ranging from 3 yuan to 5 yuan, it means that these units lack funds and strength, and rely on registration fees to increase their income. Even the minimum recruitment conditions are not available, and it is estimated that it is not far from the loss.

If you learn from other job seekers that some examiners are indifferent and talk to job seekers in a condescending tone, which is like a trial, this is the examiner's dereliction of duty, the deficiency and loss of the applicant, the act of killing talents, and the taboo of using materials, which shows that this unit does not respect talents.

In addition, job seekers can make a phone call to the employer to judge the management level and strength of the unit from the attitude of employees to answer the phone. Some units don't leave a phone number in the job advertisements, and no one answers when they do. Occasionally, someone answers, either asking questions or being extremely impatient, which shows that the quality of the personnel in this unit is low and the management is not strict. An employee's cultural accomplishment, work ability and experience can be reflected from answering the phone, and the overall image of a unit is shaped by every employee's words and deeds.

3. Study the topics in the interview:

During the interview, the interviewer will ask a lot of questions or a series of questions to the job seeker. Job seekers should be prepared in advance for the questions that the interviewer may ask, so as to have a well-thought-out answer. The following are 49 questions that American recruiters often

ask when recruiting college graduates, summarized by Dr. endicott of the United States after a large number of investigations, many of which are worth thinking about by job seekers in China.

4. Know the main ways to apply for a job:

With the increase of talent flow and the development of talent market, there are more and more ways to apply for a job. Job-seekers should know more about job-hunting methods and use them appropriately in order to achieve the goal of "the East is not bright and the West is bright" and "all roads lead to Rome". One more way, one more choice, one more chance of success

(1) With the help of employment agencies

This is the most common way for job seekers. Due to the management system of our country, the employment market is managed by labor and personnel separately, and the talent agency and employment agency operate in a "double track". The labor department is in charge of employment service agencies, including employment service centers and employment agencies, which provide services for the employment and re-employment of all social members within the scope of the labor law. The personnel department is in charge of the talent service organization, which is usually called the talent service center. The service content is the employment and mobility of professional and technical talents, managers, college graduates and graduate students. When you apply for a job in an employment agency, you must know the situation, so as not to be deceived and lose your job. It is understood that the approved formal employment agency structure generally includes "employment introduction license" and "employment introduction qualification certificate" issued by the labor department, business license issued by the industrial and commercial bureau, fee license issued by the price bureau, and tax registration certificate issued by the tax bureau. The "five certificates" must be complete. If there is no "five certificates" or "five certificates" are incomplete, it is illegal and the copy is invalid.

(2) Participate in recruitment fairs

For example, the "Two-way Choice of Supply and Demand Meeting for College Graduates in Beijing Talent Market in Spring 28" held at the International Exhibition Center, where more than 6 enterprises set up stalls and nearly 1, graduates applied for jobs, was crowded and crowded. However, it should be noted that there are many kinds of "recruitment fairs" at present. If you go to the "fairs" to find a job, you should go to the talent markets or "recruitment fairs" run by the talent exchange institutions affiliated to the government personnel department to apply for a job. This kind of department is not for the purpose of making money, but for employers and job seekers. It has standardized operation, thoughtful service, high reputation, many functions and complete procedures, and once problems arise, it can get a reasonable ending. Pay special attention not to look for a job outside other meetings. Some illegal recruiters often take advantage of the opportunity of the fair to engage in illegal recruitment activities outside the fair. In order to avoid being deceived, we must be careful. In addition, if it is illegal for the recruitment unit to collect registration fees, mortgage payments and security deposits in various names at the fair, job seekers should resolutely resist the refusal and report to the fair office.

(3) Go to the departments in charge of graduation distribution of college students in local education committees and the employment guidance offices of schools

College students can get the demand information of many employers here and get guidance on employment policies and job-choosing skills.

(4) Advertise for a job

It is a good job-hunting method to advertise for a job by newspapers, radio and television. In order to obtain good advertising benefits, job seekers should pay attention to the following issues:

1. Not all people advertise. Job seekers have good conditions and outstanding specialties, and the role of advertising is great. Advertise, that is, make it widely known that there is a person like you who is looking for a job, and the employer is welcome to be hired soon.

2. Choose a good media. Job advertisements should be published in local newspapers, radio and television. It is best to publish it in a special newspaper run by the employment agency. Because employers and individuals also pay attention to these media.

3. Write advertising words well. Pay attention to highlight your own strengths and state your own conditions and job requirements. The language is concise and wonderful.

(5) in person
