HR talks about job hunting and career planning for network engineers

Recently, the company is recruiting for the position of network engineer. From selecting resumes on the recruitment website to organizing interviews, let’s talk about your thoughts:

First of all, here is the resume. I am more concerned about professional experience and work results. , as well as technical majors, etc. For professional experience, the focus is on the scale of the companies that have served and the specific business scope for which they were responsible. It is especially important whether the position in the specific work is leading or participating. As for the technical direction, it should reflect an idea of ??one's career planning and clearly state one's learning and development direction in the IT field. Judging from the screening of most resumes, the content of most resumes is relatively general. The resumes describe various technical skills, but the actual interview communication reflects that they only have a superficial understanding. The resumes I selected basically all have more than three years of work experience, but through the interviews, I felt that most engineers are still at the level of basic office computer maintenance, and are not familiar with layer 3 switching, routing, firewalls, databases, distributed network planning and management, etc. There is a lack of in-depth knowledge in this aspect. I would like to suggest that network engineers with certain experience should make a plan for their own technical development after three years of accumulation. Personally, I prefer employees who have received vocational training. Their hands-on practical abilities are generally stronger, because vocational training is different from university education in that it pays great attention to students' practical abilities.

Talking about interviews, the applicant’s external image and communication skills are very important. The image should reflect professionalism, such as clothing, hair, beard (for men), etc. During the interview yesterday, I saw that some people’s hair was messy and looked like they hadn’t been washed for a few days, and some were sweating heavily when they sat down in front of each other. Taste, this is not a good first impression. Let's talk about communication. My interview style is more casual. I don't need to do written test questions like TCP protocol. It's just an interview. I talk about my work experience. I ask more detailed questions, focusing on technical points. At what level can I pass such a test? Communication is easy to reflect, and the communication process will observe the individual's expressive ability and personality characteristics. For example, some people's voices tremble when speaking, some people like to quibble, and some people are particularly passive. There are other details of the interview that you should also pay attention to as a candidate, because the person interviewing you is always observing you. For example, as soon as some people come into the company, they loudly say to the front desk lady that your company is difficult to find. Some people sit crookedly with their legs crossed and look around while waiting. These details all reflect a person's professionalism. I suggest that while learning IT technology, you should also cultivate your own professional quality and management capabilities, and demand yourself at a higher professional level.

Finally, let’s talk about career planning. Although a network engineer is a technology leader, you must have management ideas and concepts. In fact, everyone is a manager, because first of all, you already have a good management target. Just yourself. For IT technology, you must have a comprehensive understanding of new knowledge and concepts in the entire IT field, but more importantly, you must choose a direction for in-depth development and become a professional expert, which means you must focus on your own skills in IT. The field develops both horizontally and vertically.
