How to read the subtext behind the interviewer

Word 1: Broad room for development

Possible subtext: Ambitious small companies like to use this word most when recruiting, but they don’t tell you that the salary may be low. , and you have to work overtime on weekends. Only when the company goes public can you become a hero and get the original shares.

Comments: When you see this kind of recruitment information, think about whether you can work in this company for a long time. If you quit the company after a few months, or if the company goes bankrupt soon, then "no matter how big" the development space is, it won't mean anything to you.

Word 2: Flexible working hours

Possible subtext: This is also a common expression used by newly established companies or non-profit organizations when recruiting. Many people have very "flexible" working hours in their first jobs. They often work on Saturday nights to prepare for company events; sometimes they may need to stay up late to make PPT; or they may need to come early to prepare for meetings a few days a month. Half an hour to work...

Comments: Flexible working hours may take various forms, but when a recruiting company says that working hours are flexible, it generally means that you need to work at any time according to the company's needs, not It means you can work according to your own time plan.

Word 3: Good at finding and solving problems

Possible subtext: The operation of such companies may be chaotic, and they need manpower to change this.

Comments: Of course, some people like to face challenges, and some people will say in interviews that they have strong problem-solving abilities, but in actual work, they are not willing to face a room full of quarreling employees.

Word 4: Independent work space

Possible subtext: Most people want to have some autonomy at work and don’t like someone constantly telling you what to do. But sometimes companies that require you to work independently may have chaotic internal management mechanisms, so you need to give full play to your subjective initiative to work.

Comments: When interviewing with such a company, you can understand the specific scope of the job, rather than just getting general answers such as "help achieve sales goals" or "do a good job in company promotion."

Word 5: Salary interview

Possible subtext: Many companies’ positions are clearly priced. This is written in the recruitment notice, perhaps to keep it confidential, but it is also very possible. It is prepared to price according to the individual.

Comment: The last person who resigned received a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, but it does not mean that you can also get this amount when you get this position. Before estimating the price, it is better to conduct market research first. Don’t make the price too high, and of course, don’t make it too low.

These job information have a "thorn" in them

Thorn A: Seeking talents with high salary in all aspects

It is obviously recruiting salesmen without basic salary, but they claim that " "How many thousands can the annual salary be?"; It is obviously a self-financed cooperative enterprise, but it claims to be "the only one in the country", "internationally renowned", etc.; if even a driver is hired under the banner of high salary to seek talents, there is no need for me Say, you must also imagine that there is something fishy here.

Thorn B: There are a lot of people recruiting for high-end positions

It’s hard to count how many senior-level positions a company can have, and the higher you go up, the fewer the number of positions. There is a problem with large-scale recruitment of so-called high-end positions.

Thorn C: There is no specific recruitment position

The job description is vague. Be careful, it may be a "borrowing chicken to lay eggs" trick played by some insurance companies. If you don’t have a specific job title, don’t apply.

Thorn D: A large number of recruitment examination materials for more than two core departments

Does the company have any new business expansion? What stage of development is the company itself at? Occasionally one or two mediocre people in a certain department are eliminated It is common for people to be hired to fill the vacancy. If they are hired in batches, we have to be careful and judge the reasons.

Thorn E: Recruiting a certain position all year round

There may be two reasons why a company recruits a certain position all year round: First, the turnover rate of this position is too high. Another possibility is that this position is really difficult to recruit, which usually happens in high-end positions or very specialized positions.

Headhunting experts believe that some domestic industries started late and relevant professional talents are simply rare. Therefore, it is normal for some high-end positions or professional and technical positions to not be able to find suitable talents. But regardless of the above reasons, for most job seekers, the response rate for applying for such a position must be very low.
