I have read an article and reposted it. You can read it and it may be helpful to you

My personal feeling is two words----confidence< /p>

I have been working for a while, and I see a lot of juniors and juniors looking for jobs. I often see people saying that undergraduates and postgraduates are not valuable, and that there are a lot of PhDs and masters for positions worth two to three thousand! I Let me tell you about my experience to give some confidence to the fresh graduates and juniors who are looking for jobs now!

I looked for a job for three months from October 2006 to January 2007. I went through numerous written examinations, large and small, After a rough count of the interviews, the results are as follows:

***Resumes submitted: 161

Opportunities for written examinations: 38 times, participation: 23 times, passing: 18 times< /p>

Obtained interview opportunities: 31 times, participated: 25 times, passed: 16 times

Obtained positions: 8, in chronological order:

1 , Neusoft Co., Ltd.

The salary of this company is 4000*16 months, which seems low enough, but the work locations are mainly in Shenyang and Dalian. Objectively speaking, the treatment is pretty good in the local area, but I feel that Dalian and Shenyang are too remote and cold, so I didn’t consider going there!

2. Huawei North Research Institute

< p> This needs no introduction, the salary is only 6,500 a month, and the contract is for one year, but he can guarantee a Beijing household registration. For a newly graduated college student, this is harder to refuse than tens of thousands of yuan. Unfortunately, it was not in line with my career goals and I didn’t go there in the end

3. Shanghai aspenTech Co., Ltd.

This is a very good company, the global leader in chemical engineering software, in the chemical industry The field is famous. Its interviews were the most difficult and took the most time and energy I have ever experienced. I went through 6 rounds of electronic interviews in one day, 4 of which were English technical interviews conducted by foreigners. The whole process was very painful, and it was also very difficult to get the offer. It’s not easy. The salary is 6500*12, which is considered poor in Shanghai, but basically I can’t hire people. Students who want stability can consider it!

4. Yuxin Yicheng Software Company

p>

A company with very poor remuneration. This is a company that specializes in making software for banks. I originally invested in it mainly because I was interested in finance. After the remuneration became regular, it would be 4,000. The work is quite tiring, and Beijing account registration is not guaranteed. I should It is said that this kind of salary is really not very competitive in Beijing. Basically, no one comes, and everyone rejects this company.

5. CINET Software Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd.

This It is a very good software company. It mainly outsources to Moto, Nortel and Lucent. Employees are sent to work in these companies and become regular employees in 1-2 years. It is headquartered in the United States and is famous for its Mido. The starting salary for past students is more than 12,000 and for fresh graduates is 9,000. - 10,500, 10,000 settlement allowance, 5,000 fitness card issued every year, and a very important point, this company will be listed soon, and stocks will be issued in the next two years. No matter how you look at it, this should be considered a pretty good offer in the field of IT software development. It was unintentional at first. I submitted my resume during the double selection meeting in Beijing on November 29th, and was notified of an interview the next week. One written test and two interviews were completed in one afternoon, and I made an offer a week later. I admire the efficiency of this company.

6. Sunshine Property & Casualty Insurance Co., Ltd.

This is a newly established insurance company at the end of 2005. It has a strong background and its shareholders are Sinopec, China Southern Airlines, Chalco, Sinotrans, and Guangdong Electricity, resume at NTU. The most impressive thing about this company is their meticulous approach to the recruitment process, and they will give you pens and small gifts. One round of written examination, two rounds of interviews, and a written test. On one side there was a group fight, with 10 people discussing the repatriation of Olympic migrant workers; on the other side, they were in Beijing, where they mainly asked some routine questions. I will introduce the specific interview details and techniques in detail in a later article. The remuneration is a basic salary of RMB 4,000 and a subsidy of several hundred yuan. The salary will be determined based on the position after becoming a full-time employee. Today we have recruited about 20 people across the country and are trying our best to obtain Beijing hukou.

7. China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation

This is a ministerial-level unit directly under the State Council. It is a state-owned policy insurance company established in 2001 the day after China joined the WTO. It is the only company in China that engages in the export credit insurance business. The development prospects of this business are very good. This is also my final employment destination. The specific treatment cannot be disclosed. First, I saw the company's recruitment information online, and then sent the completed form to them via email as required. I received a notice for the written test on November 29th. The location is in Tianjin. The computer knowledge tested is very comprehensive and complex. I will go to Beijing for an interview on December 11th. 10 bosses will interview you one by one, mainly including general questions, technical questions, and English questions. , received the offer on December 31st. This year, the head office has hired about 15 people, including 2 computer people. The Tianjin branch is also recruiting, but the specific number of places is unknown.

8. Central Foreign Exchange Business Center of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange

This is my dream offer, but unfortunately it was only after signing the China Credit Insurance Corporation. This unit is the Central Reserve Department of the Administration of Foreign Exchange, which is in charge of the country’s foreign exchange reserves. The most attractive thing about this job is the personal satisfaction it brings to you. Talking about patriotism in other places may be vague, but here you can clearly see how much money you have made for the country. Just imagine, when you participate in investing trillions of foreign exchange reserves in the international market and earn foreign exchange for the country, what kind of satisfaction and sense of achievement it is. At this time, your personal value is reflected to the greatest extent. The specific treatment cannot be disclosed. I attended a lecture at NTU, submitted my resume and application materials on the spot, and went to Beijing for a written test on December 8. The questions were all in English. The main test was computer expertise, which was similar to that of China Credit Insurance Corporation. It was also comprehensive. Finally, I asked a few open questions: Give examples of how risk control was carried out in projects you have participated in; please talk about the types of risks and your views on risk control. Interview on January 9th, two rounds. In the first round of group fights, a group of 5 people discussed: Learning from the West. If 4 people have to eliminate one person, who should be eliminated and why? The second round is many-to-one, mainly including general questions, English questions, and professional questions. On January 17th, I was notified of the physical examination, followed by the political review. The specific details will be introduced in detail in subsequent articles.

In the end, the most painful choice faced was between China Credit Insurance Corporation and the Central Foreign Exchange Business Center of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. It is difficult to say which offer is better. I have asked many people, but in the end there is no unified answer. Of course, it is meaningless to talk about which one is better now. I have signed for the former and did not go for the physical examination of the latter at all.

That’s it. It’s not difficult to get a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. It mainly depends on your job search skills!

(1): Let’s summarize based on my own experience. Some common questions in interviews:

1. Why apply for this company (why apply for this position)

Questions that most units will ask, but most people can answer Not good. Personally, I think you should answer from the following perspectives: your impression of the company, your understanding of the company, your job search goals, and how well the company matches your job search goals.

It is best not to just talk about how good this company is, but to talk about it from the perspective of the match between your job search goals and this company. The following are successful cases:

1) Huawei

Q: Why choose Huawei?

Answer: Because I have many classmates at Huawei, and through daily contact with them, I can also understand that Huawei is a place where people make technology and learn things with heart. For a newly graduated college student who wants to learn technology in a down-to-earth manner, Huawei is a good choice.

2) IBM

Q: Why choose IBM?

Answer: Because I have many senior brothers and sisters in IBM, and I myself also received an IBM scholarship and visited the IBM headquarters. At that time, IBM had excellent corporate culture, good career development paths and a comfortable working environment. They all left a deep impression on me, so when looking for a job, IBM became my first choice.

3) Central Foreign Exchange Business Center of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange

Q: Why choose our unit?

Answer: Because I am very interested in finance and have studied finance-related courses as an undergraduate, when I chose a job, I made the financial institution my first choice and attended your company’s seminar. After that, I was immediately attracted. I felt that if I had the opportunity to work in your organization, I could maximize my expertise, grow with your organization, and make my own contribution to the country's foreign exchange reserves.

2. What do you think of overtime?

This question is also often asked. I believe that most students will answer that they can accept overtime, but I personally feel that this answer alone is not enough. It is best to answer from two perspectives. Please take a look at the following successful cases:

(Sunshine Property & Casualty Insurance Co., Ltd.)

Q: What do you think about overtime?

Answer: This is how I view overtime. Since you come to work, you must be responsible. Therefore, if you work overtime because of work needs, of course there is no problem. But you should also pay attention to improving work efficiency. If you work overtime because of procrastination, it is not advisable. For example, if I can finish work in 4 hours that others take 8 hours to do, then why do I have to work overtime?

Q: What if your boss sees that you are performing well and assigns you 4 hours of work?

Answer: Just do it. That shows that the leader values ??me and I have learned a lot. In addition, there is another point: the work is never finished. While working hard, you should still pay more attention to rest and devote yourself to the next day's work with more energy.

3. What are your salary requirements?

This is a trap question. Unless there are very special circumstances, never give a specific number. Avoid this topic and talk more about the contribution you can bring to the company. The following are successful cases:

1) Sunshine Property & Casualty Insurance Co., Ltd.

Q: What are your salary requirements?

Answer: I think as a fresh graduate without any work experience, the first thing I should think about is what contribution I can make to the company, rather than what I can get from the company. Talking about rewards is a sign of immaturity. I believe that the company will have an objective and accurate evaluation of my abilities and will not turn a blind eye to my contribution to the company. Regarding the salary issue, I think it's best to wait until I get the offer before we discuss it.

2) Instant connection, HR

(Note: Based on the information I heard in advance, my expected salary is written as 10,000)

(Note: The following Conversation in English)

Q: Your expected salary is high enough

Answer: I'm sorry, because the salary level of your company I heard about is so high. If I write low, that means I don't meet your company's hiring standards.

Q: Then tell me what you think about salary

Answer: This is how I look at the salary. As a fresh graduate, what I want to think more about is that I can What contribution I have made to the company, my personal abilities have been developed in the process, and the company has benefited from my development and contribution, so it will naturally not treat me badly. This is a mutually beneficial process. I think the most important thing is to expect a salary worthy of your abilities.

4. What do you think is the most attractive thing about our unit?

The difficult thing about this question is how do you describe your attractiveness persuasively so that the examiner feels that you did not make it up casually but carefully considered it. Suggestions can be answered from the perspective of opportunities and development. The following are successful cases:

1) China Export and Credit Insurance Corporation

(Note: The following conversation is in English)

Q: What do you think is most attractive about sinosure? What is the place?

Answer: I think it is an opportunity. Because sinosure can provide me with a very good platform, in which I can give full play to my talents and make my own contribution to the development of the enterprise. At the same time, as the enterprise develops, I can also improve myself in other aspects. Ability, such as: communication ability, problem analysis and problem-solving ability, while my personal ability continues to improve, the company will also benefit from it. Therefore, I think the most attractive thing about sinosure is this opportunity.

2) Central Foreign Exchange Business Center of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange

Q: What do you think is the most attractive thing about our place?

Answer: I think the most attractive thing about SAFE is that it provides me with a very good opportunity. Here, I can not only make full use of the computer skills I have learned to solve practical problems, but also You can learn a lot of business knowledge and improve your other skills.

Q: But compared with working in a software company, isn’t your professional knowledge wasted here?

Answer: No. Here, I can use my professional knowledge to solve specific practical problems, and I can improve my communication skills, ability to analyze and solve problems, in short, it is more suitable for my all-round development.

5. What do you think of job-hopping?

This is the hardest question I have ever encountered. To be honest, in an interview situation, for this kind of question, you can only rely on improvisation. Of course, after I came back, I thought about how I should answer, and I felt that my answer at that time was not bad. The following is a practical case:

(Huawei second interview)

Q: If you stay at Huawei for two years, you will learn everything you need to learn. If a company offers you double your salary to poach you, what will you do?

Answer: I think frequent job-hopping is detrimental to your career development, because it will take you a long time to adapt to a new environment, and you will inevitably have to bear greater responsibilities. pressure. Moreover, no company would dare to hire an employee who changes jobs frequently. Therefore, unless there are very special circumstances, I will not choose to change jobs. However, when the difference in salary and benefits for similar positions between two companies is too great, I will report the situation to my supervisor and the company, because the company is not facing the danger of being poached by me alone, but by everyone at the same level as me. They are all in danger of being poached. This is obviously detrimental to the company's long-term development.

6. What factors will you consider when looking for a job? (Second interview with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, English)

Answer: I would first consider the industry and its development potential; then consider the unit and its position in the industry; and then consider the position. , see how well this position matches your professional skills and career plan. Of course, among all these factors, the most important thing is opportunity, that is, whether this position can bring me enough development opportunities, so that my talents can be fully utilized, my potential can be fully tapped, and I can grow with the company.

7. What would you do if you didn’t find the most ideal job? (Second interview with the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, English)

Answer: If I can’t find the best, then I will pursue a relatively better one. Maybe, when I go to that unit that is not the best, I will find that it is actually quite suitable for me.

8. Do you have an offer?

This is a headache for students who have already received an offer but want to pursue a better offer. My usual answer is: yes. Because honesty is the most important quality. The following is a practical case:

(Instant Link Duplex)

Q: Do you have an offer?

Answer: Yes.

Q: Which one is it?

Answer: Shanghai aspenTech

Q: Can you disclose the specific salary?

Answer: Can it be kept confidential?

The other party answered: Yes.

Personally, I feel that there is no need to hide these issues, because if you hide it and are discovered, you will definitely lose your job. Sometimes, when it comes to matters of fundamental principle, honesty is most important.

9. Where do you want yourself to be in 5 years?

It often appears in interviews at technology companies, and is sometimes asked by state-owned enterprises. Personally, I think you should try to avoid talking about specific goals and never say things like "I want to be a project manager in five years" or "I want to be a supervisor in five years" if you don't want to be rejected. The following is my answer for your reference:

(Aspen four or five, Lenovo one, InstantLink two)

"Because I am studying computers, I hope Following the path of focusing on technology, in 5 years, I hope that I will have a deeper understanding of a certain field, become an expert in a certain field, be able to stand alone in a certain aspect, and also be able to understand others. developments in the field.

”

To summarize: This type of non-technical interview is an inevitable part of any unit. The above has basically covered most of the questions in this type of interview. Although these questions are very common, they must be fully answered. Answering it well is not an easy task. In this regard, it is recommended that everyone pay more attention to specific questions. Many students fail in the interview because they did not answer this part well. Therefore, I hope everyone will pay attention to it and go through it after a period of time. With time of practice, I believe you can also participate in non-technical interviews with confidence!

Finally, a reminder: If you are interviewing with a state-owned enterprise, a public institution, a civil servant, a bank, or an insurance company, you must wear it! Formal attire; if you are applying for a management or marketing position, you should wear formal attire. If you are applying for a technical position in a technology company, it does not matter.
