How to choose a boss when applying for a job? ?

We can't choose our parents, but we have the right to choose our boss. It is said that the reason why employees leave their jobs is largely because? Boss? , not the so-called? Development space? .

The survey of "Workplace Guide" found that nearly 80% of people will choose a boss when applying for a job; Another 20% said they would not. No matter whether they consider the boss factor in job hunting or not, and no matter what proportion this factor takes in all the factors they consider, all the interviewees agree that the boss has a great influence on their work.

Question 1

Q: When looking for a job, did you consider the boss's factors?

A: Leadership is very important, but it is not considered.

Happy, Shanghai electric employee, working for 3 years.

I never thought about the boss when I applied for the job, but when I really work, I will find that it is really important to have a capable and good manager. If the boss is bad and the company doesn't develop, who has the motivation? Management confusion, who can do it well? So it is of course important to have a good leader. However, all this will not be known until I really work in the unit. When looking for a job, it's hard to say that you know what your big boss is like. So when I look for a job, I won't consider the boss.

Choosing a boss depends on the size of the company.

Chris is an employee of a consulting company and has been working for 5 years.

Whether to consider the boss depends on the company I choose. If it is a very big company, I will look at the corporate style, regardless of the boss. But if it is a small company or a developing company, you have to choose the boss. I will pay more attention to the boss's management style, because his management style affects the whole enterprise culture and the ability of subordinates to play. In other words, as a subordinate, whether I can get enough development space, the boss plays a very important role.

I have always attached great importance to the factor of the boss.

Polo, a China employee of Shiseido, has 3 years' working experience.

To tell the truth, I always choose my boss when looking for a job. I value my boss very much when I change jobs, because your leadership determines your future.

Emily, website planner, worked for 3 years.

Of course, consider the boss. I have to work with him all the time. If I meet a boss who is difficult to communicate with or whose style is very different from mine, I can't do this job.

Question 2

Q: What kind of boss would you choose?

A: The way of doing things is very much to my taste.

Gan, an engineer of General Motors, has 3 years working experience.

I didn't think much about salary when choosing a job, but the company background is very important. As for the boss, I consider whether his way of doing things is to my liking. Everyone has his own way of doing things, some people are more radical, and some people are more stable.

If you rashly choose a job without considering whether the boss's way of doing things suits you, it is likely to screw things up. For example, if the boss is more radical and you are slower, there will definitely be conflicts between the two sides. My boss and I are both radical. I like his resolute personality very much, so I feel very energetic following him.

I need a boss who can let me learn something.

Colin, an employee of Singapore Enterprise Development Agency, has worked less than 1 year.

To tell the truth, students who are applying for a job for the first time or newcomers in the workplace are very vague about what kind of boss they need. Generally speaking, what do they want from their boss? Better people? . This concept is very broad and difficult to define. It can be understood that they have requirements for the boss's personal charm and leadership.

For example, he will know when to use iron fists and when to use sugar-coated shells; He must be upright; Acting must have a big picture; He can take responsibility instead of leaving everything to his subordinates and so on. These are all qualities that an idealized boss should possess. What I personally need is a boss who can give me something to learn. Newcomers in the workplace are all starting from scratch, and it is most realistic to find a boss who can let them learn something.

The boss should look pleasing to the eye.

Emily, website planner, worked for 3 years.

I think we must consider the boss when looking for a job. I'll see if this boss is an open-minded and easy-to-communicate person first. I think I will give up this job if the boss has a leadership posture and is difficult to communicate with.

After all, the boss has to deal with him every day, and if it is not easy to communicate, the work will be very tired. There is also depends on the boss's appearance. Because of what you see every day, his appearance will directly affect the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of employees. It's better to be pleasing to the eye, of course, not too harsh, as long as it looks pleasing to the eye.

At least it looks ambitious.

Judy is an employee of a consulting company and has been working for 4 years.

I still pay more attention to my boss when I apply for a job. However, it is difficult for me to describe what kind of boss I want to choose. By talking, I can judge whether I can accept the boss. It depends on the feeling that you don't get along. However, one thing is certain. I hope he can tell me the prospect of the company's development and what kind of prospect he can give me. From his description, I can feel whether he is ambitious or not. If the boss looks ambitious, then employees will have expectations.

A hands-on boss will definitely not follow

Grace is an employee of SPA Shanghai branch and has been working for 5 years.

I once worked under a hands-on female boss, which was very painful. No matter what we do, she will personally come and participate, always clinging to some details, regardless of the big directional problems. I was in the marketing department, and we put forward many marketing ideas and suggestions, but she didn't listen to a word. She doesn't trust the staff so much that our work can't be carried out. So looking for a job now, I value the respect and trust of the boss to the employees.

I will choose a boss who respects employees and is willing to let them do something. That kind of hands-on boss will definitely not follow. Hands-on shows that he doesn't know how to manage, delegate and concentrate.

Enthusiastic, pragmatic, positive and efficient.

Polo, a China employee of Shiseido, has 3 years' working experience.

What are the criteria for choosing a boss? I don't think it's clear at once. I often look at my feelings. The ideal boss should be a warm, pragmatic, energetic and efficient person. I'm a down-to-earth person myself, so I like a down-to-earth boss. Enthusiastic people are easier to get along with. A self-motivated person can drive people around him. Paying attention to efficiency is very important for doing a good job.

Question 3

How to choose a boss?

Method 1: follow the first impression and follow the feeling.

Poirot's views represent the views of many people. In fact, choosing a boss is also very particular about love at first sight. ? With the increase of working years, a person's personal experience will increase, the number of people he contacts will increase, and the social experience will become richer and richer. ? Really, when you meet more people, you will find that you basically know what kind of person he is at first sight. Listen to him for a few more words at most. Although the judgment may not be accurate, I also know that it is seven or eight points. ?

In this regard, Fan Jue, human resources manager of Dell Procurement Co., Ltd. Shanghai Office, also agreed. She believes that people with certain work experience will consider the boss's factors when choosing a job. ? Work for the enterprise and the people. ? So people usually have their own ideas and judgments about their bosses.

Through contact, conversation and observation in the interview, we can know whether this boss is good or not and whether this job is suitable or not. Moreover, in the interview process, job seekers can also ask questions, get the information they need through the other party's answers, and then judge whether the boss is suitable for them.

Interview is a process of mutual choice, and job seekers should show confidence. The other party picks you, and you are picking the other party. ? Yao, training and development manager of Shanghai Minimally Invasive Software Co., Ltd. reminded. She believes that with this self-confidence, job seekers can see what kind of person the boss is from his words and manners.

The perfect boss may be very strict with his work, which will help you improve your requirements for yourself; A gentle boss may be nice, easy to get along with and willing to give you detailed guidance. No matter what personality the boss is, the most important thing is whether he can let you learn something. If this boss can't let you learn something, it doesn't matter how well your personality and style fit.

Method 2: Observe the office atmosphere and collect the surrounding information.

Yao believes that recruiters will try their best to show their best side during the interview. Therefore, job seekers have to further observe the surroundings on the basis of communication. For example, is employee action in full swing? What's the expression on the employee's face? Is there a positive working atmosphere in the office? In addition, you need to know the basic situation of the company before applying for a job. Such as industry, company nature, investor background, etc. These also affect the style of the whole enterprise and reflect the style of the boss from the side.

Chris, a career consultant, suggested that job seekers can learn about the company and boss from websites and acquaintances. A lot of information can reflect the boss from the side. For example, in companies with good welfare, bosses usually respect employees, while in companies with promising prospects, bosses have strategic vision and foresight.
