What kind of resume can get you interviewed by Uniqlo?

I saw Uniqlo’s online application on 51job by chance. I didn’t know much about it at the time, so I applied casually. At that time, I was still working as a class teacher at the Huatu Civil Service Training Institution, and my life was very busy. Enriched, I got to know a lot of people, many good teachers, and it felt good when working students of the same age or older than me called me Teacher Zhang affectionately. I received a message notification after class one day. There was a test question from Uniqlo in my mailbox. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. I opened my computer and went to my mailbox to do the questions after I returned to the dormitory the next day. I had just attended classes at Huatu for more than ten days. , I have a good feel for some reasoning questions and mathematical calculations, so I took a draft and worked on it, and pressed submit. Two days later I received a notice: Huanong No. 3 Teaching Building, 1:00 p.m. 45 points; on the same day, I went to Guangzhou East Railway Station for an interview with a guarantee company. Because I went early, I was the first person to interview. I felt that the interviewer was very good and the interview went smoothly. After the interview, I I went to eat. I didn’t plan to go back to school because of the Uniqlo noodles in the afternoon, so I just wandered around. By chance, I saw a Uniqlo store in Guangzhou East Station of the subway. It was really good, with a self-service shopping style

style, bright warehouse-style shopping environment, and what appears every ten seconds: Welcome, please choose whatever you want. I looked around for a few times and happened to see their store manager reviewing the store. I was trying to muster up the courage to chat with him because I heard that the service attitude of their store is very good. Uniqlo's The service concept is to impress customers rather than satisfy them. But just then my cell phone rang, and I received a call saying that the boss of the guarantee company just wanted to meet me, and I was just walking back.

Their boss seemed very worldly to me, and the questions he asked were very realistic, so I asked you directly. Is there any social connection? After joining their company, I had to do not only business but also personnel work. I often worked overtime and the salary started from 2,000.

I felt that their company did not have a perfect system. At that time, I had no enthusiasm to meet again. When I went down, he might have noticed it and asked me if I really wanted to go to their company. My answer was deliberately protracted, thinking...otherwise I wouldn't have come for the interview long ago. Then he nodded and asked me when I would be able to go to work. I might not know, and then said that the Human Resources Department would let me know. The interview was over in this way. It was almost half past twelve. I just rushed to Huanong and arrived at one forty. The two staff members in charge of signing in were very kind. We all sat in a large classroom. After watching the promotional video, I was attracted by the salary and the completely meritocratic personal improvement space. After watching a promotional video, it was our group’s turn for an interview soon.

Leaderless group discussion, with two interviewers Very NICE store manager sister, please give each person a minute to introduce themselves. There are students from Huanong Main School, Guangzhou Industrial University, China Normal University, and Jinan University. Everyone has a strong experience in self-introduction. I also

I wrote everyone's name very carefully on the manuscript paper. It was considered polite to call them by name during the discussion. At that time, I said: Good afternoon everyone, I am from..., and I served as the deputy secretary of the department while I was in school. Minister, this not only allowed me to learn the writing skills of various official documents, but also improved my ability to communicate and cooperate with them. At the same time, I also served as the monitor of our class, actively coordinating all matters in the class, It improved my leadership skills, and more importantly

cultivated my sense of serving others. I also participated in many related sales activities outside school, such as mobile phone promotions, weekly sales, etc., which taught me to stand on the side of Thinking about the problem from the customer's perspective, what can our products bring to them? Joining UNIQLO may be due to a childhood dream, because our family is in the clothing retail industry, and I have been helping in the store since I was a child. Especially on weekends, whenever I see customers leave happily after buying satisfactory clothes, a sense of happiness and accomplishment arises naturally. UNIQLO provides services to our young people who have ideals, passion and dare to challenge. I am eager to join this group. Thanks! Her voice was loud and confident, and I saw that the interviewing sister kept nodding and smiling at me. Maybe it was because they were used to this in the service industry, but in any case, her sweet smile made me not nervous at all. Then posted a topic for discussion: Which publicity method is better for Uniqlo: celebrity endorsement or animation endorsement?

As soon as I read a few words, No. 1 Nobita said first: Please take two minutes to read and think about the question. After two minutes, we will vote. Then the girl from CUHK said that I will time it!

Everyone knows that the leader, timer and summarizer of a group discussion are most likely to be favored by the interviewer. At that time, my heart skipped a beat, no, I must express my opinions quickly later. , two minutes later,

One of the boys and I chose the animation spokesperson, and the other three chose celebrities. At this time, the leader said that the animation side should first explain the reason. It just happened, so I said it would be a limited edition. Because of this It can better capture the attention of consumers

Achieve a certain sales volume in a short period of time and increase the popularity of Uniqlo. After all, Japanese cartoons and American Disney are the favorites of many men, women and children, but celebrity endorsements such as Sun Li Or Chen Kun

Their fans are definitely one-sided. Many people will not like it or some celebrities have negative news.

It will affect the image of our brand, considering the cost. Celebrity endorsements are expensive. Although you can feel the charm of Uniqlo clothing from the visual and auditory aspects, limited editions can directly bring long-term business to the store. As soon as I finished speaking, two opponents raised their hands and said that they would change their votes to our point of view, because I probably stated my point of view, and then the discussion centered on this point. The one who still insisted on celebrity endorsement It was also very well said and more opinionated. After that, we made a summary. Nobita pointed at me and asked me to summarize, so I briefly restated the point I just made, and then I finished. I asked everyone if they had anything to add, and they said no. Then we looked at the HR sister quietly, and she looked at her watch and said: "Have you come to a conclusion? Please give a representative." I Dizzy, didn't I just say that? I immediately thought that I had just said so much, that we should pay attention to teamwork and give opportunities to others, so I smiled and said to let that girl from CUHK come. She said, but, but, she said she still let me come and passed her notes to me.

Isn’t this setting me up for injustice? Forget it, I still smiled and took it with both hands and said : Then on behalf of our team, let me talk about... Then the interviewer asked two questions: What is your career plan at Uniqlo? Where do you want to be?

Can you accept nationwide dispatch? After we answered them one by one, we went back to the interview and it was over. After we came out, we were very nervous and felt that we had gone too far and that we might not be able to survive.

Originally, I was told that I would be notified within three days, but my phone still didn’t respond the next day, which almost made me feel heartbroken. However, at 8 o’clock the next morning, I received a second notice. I was so excited, and I had to actively prepare. I read a lot of interviews online, printed out more than 20 pages of information, and slowly read about the history and culture of UNIQLO. The more I know about this company, the more I like this company. I also understand why it can enter the Fortune 500 and why it has the ambition to be the world's number one by 2020.

When I see the interviewer who talks about the experience in person, I will I am Japanese and have a translator. Because I know that Japanese people are very polite, I also prepared Japanese etiquette the night before the interview and reminded myself to be concise and logical when answering questions, otherwise my translator sister will make mistakes. I will cut you off and not help you translate.

I came to Jingxingsha shop with trepidation. When I checked in, I found that the girl from the Chinese University of Science and Technology who supported my point of view also entered the second side. I was very happy to sit down and chat with her. It was relatively relaxed. At this time

A Chinese man came out and read our names, three women and two men, and we were chatting with Europeans again. I thought he was a staff member. Unexpectedly, after we followed him in, he sat on the interviewer's seat and introduced us: Hello, I am from South China District. Manager Zhang Shiyu, today

I will be interviewing everyone... Oh, what a good luck, I got the only Chinese interviewer from the six groups of interviewers, okay, I'll take care of myself as I come. , I am No. 3. I asked questions from beginning to end and then from beginning to end. I was lucky.

I had enough time to think. I introduced myself first. I talked about the same as the first person, but when it was my turn During the introduction, a girl walked in. It turned out that there were six people in the group. She was late. Manager Zhang interrupted me and asked the girl why she came just now.

She said that she just went to the toilet before the interview. The officer asked her to introduce herself and just put me aside.

I still

smiled and waited for her to finish. To be honest, she might be nervous and her speech was not very good. , and then it was my turn again, I smiled and said, I just mentioned... Also... Then I asked a question: Uniqlo will be No. 1 in China in 2012 and No. 1 in the world in 2020. If you are responsible for As a Uniqlo store manager, what can you do to achieve this goal? Boy No. 1 said that I need to strengthen publicity and open up the market, BALALA, and then he was interrupted and said, I know what you are talking about

It is: publicity strategy, is there any more? Then the No. 1 man said: I want to have a winning team, and then the interviewer Ann pinched the second officer’s finger and talked about talent strategy, is there anything else? The boy said something else, but it was similar to the previous two points. Girl No. 2 also said similar things. When it was my turn, because the common points had been said, I couldn’t repeat them. I: If I'm lucky enough to join UNIQLO, as a store manager, I must have high professional skills, have the highest sense of responsibility for this store, and truly run it as my own store. What happened? , I am the last line of the team in this store, and I must stick to it. Secondly, I want to train my subordinates and cultivate an excellent team. We fight side by side. The store manager is just a title. Everyone is in this store. The operator is only responsible for the size of the area. Next, I want an attractive store. We will not just display fashionable clothes in a conspicuous display. Our main products must also be put out in an orderly manner to ensure

The colors are complete and the numbers are complete, providing customers with an easy-to-select and purchase environment, and striving to increase the store's turnover by 30%, 40% or even more. Perhaps the increase in our store's turnover will not have an impact on our goal of being No. 1 in the world< /p>

It’s big, but we have excellent troops. If we spread them out, the effect will be exponential. I believe that the goal of being No. 1 in the world in 2020 is just around the corner, or even earlier. When I spoke again, the interviewer kept taking notes, which made me more confident. Second question: What role have you played as a leader, what difficulties have you encountered, and how did you deal with them? Others have great experiences. What national competitions, how hard did you win the award? Mine is mine

It’s relatively plain. I said that I once interned at the Agricultural Bank of China and managed more than 30 people. How did I deal with the sudden annual fee when applying for a student card? Another question is: Your career plan is similar to the first one, and then It was our turn

When we asked him, I remember boy No. 1 asked him his age, why there were so many people. Sure enough, the interviewer said: Guess, he said: I guess you are around 30. "Left or right?" "Right" The interviewer's face darkened and he said: So you are over 30? I am actually 28. Then the No. 1 guy wanted to eliminate the embarrassment at that time, but the interviewer said: You have used up one of your opportunities to ask questions, and then let the interview end. I felt very sorry for the boy. I felt like he was killed instantly. Because I felt good about my performance in the second interview, and Manager Zhang also took a lot of notes on my column, I was more confident about entering the final interview. Sure enough, I received the final interview notification at 8:00 the next morning.

In the business center on the sixth floor of the Westin Hotel in Guangzhou, the interview time was at 4:15 pm. The interviewer was relatively tired, so I arrived an hour early that day. I didn’t want to go in so early, so I walked around the community below. After checking it, it turned out to be a five-star hotel. The service attitude was super good. He helped me press the elevator, asked about washing my mobile phone, and personally led the way. After I signed in, I sat on the sofa outside and chatted with the Europeans again. It was a small group interview, and the interviewer for the final interview in Guangzhou was Brother Pan Ning, CEO of China Region. The people are really as nice as the legend says. The final interview is in the form of a group interview, with each person asking about 2 questions on average. Because the boy in the same group was very wordy and could answer every question ten miles away. I was interrupted several times. I also tried to be concise because the boy talked too much and didn't have enough time to finish. There was no time for all of us to ask questions. According to the order of sign-in, we sat opposite Brother Pan Ning. Brother Pan Ning first asked us to introduce ourselves in order, and there was no time limit. After it was over, Brother Pan Ning asked, Uniqlo's recruitment is now in its third round. Why did we miss the previous two rounds? Whoever thinks it through first will tell first.

I feel like he has interviewed thousands of people and can tell what you are thinking at a glance, so I want to answer sincerely. I said: The most commonly discussed question we senior students encounter is When I was looking for a job, when I told my friends that I had been preparing for interviews with Uniqlo recently, many people said they had never heard of it. I had not noticed the recruitment before. Did Uniqlo not promote enough to us college students? ? "But Guangjin also has many people coming for interviews." "Our employment at Guangjin is mainly for banks. I was an intern at the Agricultural Bank of China before, but during the two-month internship, the work in the bank was relatively It is suitable for people who pursue stability. I think about what I am doing every day. My dream is not this

I need a challenging job. I am very glad that I can catch up with Uniqlo. (Go on to praise It’s so good, so much, and I want to join this group so much)” Thinking about it now, I feel so stupid. This answer really hit the target directly. Others talked about taking the postgraduate entrance examination, the civil service examination, and Yiguang Work. A girl said that she missed an online application, and she wanted to dominate the interview, but failed, and then praised her orderliness. Then she was in her hometown during the second round of recruitment, how could she ask her friends to help register? The resume was relatively scattered, so I submitted my own resume. Sure enough, the interviewer looked at her resume carefully and felt that she really loves Uniqlo and showed that enthusiasm. This is also her.

The reason why he was able to receive an offer from our group is that Brother Pan Ning also looks into our eyes when communicating. He understands you through your eyes. He also asked about your two major selling points and shortcomings as a store manager. I emphasized my leadership and cohesion. The shortcomings are my own lack of experience and adaptability. Then I was asked: How to improve. I said that when I started from the grassroots level, I must learn with humility and ask the store manager how to deal with any accidents I encountered before. First, I have the awareness to take precautions. If I really encounter something that has never happened before, When problems arise (I really want to slap myself, it’s typical of myself to shoot myself in the foot), I still say with a straight face that I will stay calm, maintain order on the scene, and ask my superiors or elders for instructions as soon as possible to handle it.

< p>This question. I feel that none of my answers are bright, so no wonder I received a rejection letter that night,

To be honest, when I saw this letter, I felt very bad. After all, Uniqlo is the store where I have spent a lot of energy and emotion this month. In my first job, I went from having more than 1,000 people on one side to more than 20 people at the end, but I regretted that I failed at the end. However, I really learned a lot in this process and experienced a comparison. Formal and standard interview process, thank you to Uniqlo, thank you to 51job, thank you to your relatives and friends for their support, and also thank you to the new Guanggong friends who joined Uniqlo, thank you

for their encouragement! I believe that if I can do what I said in the letter, there will be a career that is more suitable for me waiting for me.

No matter what, UNIQLO gave me a copy on my job search in my senior year. A rare experience worth writing down to remember.
