How should candidates identify and deal with the "job search" trap?

? ? Internet job hunting: job hunting traps you must know!

I have been working in SEO optimization positions since I graduated from college. In the past few years, I have experienced hundreds of interview invitations, large and small, and only I know the sadness of it. For example, you may be tricked by a training institution into going for an interview at first, picking on all kinds of problems with you, making you feel that you are not good enough and need to participate in their training; some securities and financial companies will call you to interview for a position that is not the position you want to work in at all. It's a sales job, I'll give you a bright future, tell you how much it will cost per month, and how easy it is to do... It's the job hunting season again, I just hope that some of my experiences and lessons can make you less busy. Take detours and find a job that suits you as soon as possible.

1. Small and medium-sized companies hire multiple people for one position

Generally, companies with hundreds of people in the online promotion field will only hire one person for online promotion. If they hire multiple people, it may be The training institution may not recruit people for this position at all.

2. Recruit apprentices and manage trainees

It is basically a training institution. Basically no company will be so kind to train you and pay you a salary. The boss wants They are people who can help them make money as soon as they come. Before you create value, it is impossible to train you for free.

3. No work experience is required, and the salary is high

They are usually investment, financial, and insurance companies. They are not recruiting online promoters, they are looking for salespeople, and they want you. Those who do business will ask you to recruit friends and relatives around you to invest, or even ask you to invest your own money. They will draw a big circle with you, and then a series of brainwashing training will slowly make you fall into it.

4. Salary

General recruitment requirements are written as 4-6k. In fact, the company will only give you a salary of about 4k. The minimum salary you think is actually their highest. Salary, if you want to find a job with a salary of around 6k, it is recommended that you apply for a position with a salary of 6-8k.

5. Flexible work

Don’t be misled by the word flexibility, thinking that freedom may actually be the biggest limitation, which means you may need to work overtime at any time, even on weekends. If you work overtime, be sure to ask.

6. Only sent emails, not even a phone call

This person is so busy that he can’t even take a few minutes to make a phone call. This is also the most basic etiquette. Most companies will call you first to ask if you are still looking for a job and if you are interested in their company, and then agree on an interview time. They set the interview time unilaterally from the very beginning without even making a phone call. This is extremely disrespectful and has no sincerity in recruiting people. There is no need to waste your time. Even if you go, you will most likely be perfunctory.

7. It’s a remote location and no company-related information can be found online

How well this company must keep secrets. In an age where information is so developed, you can’t find it online. A little bit of relevant information. If you really want to be in an online promotion position, how could you not even have a basic official website? Don’t tell me anything. I have never done any online promotion before. Many children who were deceived into pyramid schemes are like this. Being deceived into leaving.

8. There are emails and phone calls, but no job information.

The company is recruiting, but there is no job information posted online. Don’t you think it’s strange? Don't be fooled by excuses like being busy or forgetting. At least the job responsibilities and recruitment requirements must be reflected in the interview email. If these are not included, the position is basically not being recruited, and you don’t have to waste time.

9. Use your mobile phone to make calls and send you text messages to ask you for an interview

How poor is this company that doesn’t even have a landline? Just randomly edit a text message to call you for an interview without even sending an interview email. Do you think it’s reliable? Especially when you can only find very little information about the company online. If you are so casual and perfunctory, you are basically not recruiting people for the position.

10. Please attend an interview on the weekend and wear formal attire

Usually for insurance, financial management, and securities companies. When you go as promised, what awaits you is either an insurance and financial management brainwashing session, or the interviewer thinks that you are not capable enough and recommends that you start as a grassroots sales clerk. He will also tell you how high the sales salary is and how. There is a future.

The above are some of my interview insights. I just hope that one or two of them can be helpful to you and save you from wasting time on this kind of recruitment work. If you have better ideas, please leave a message to exchange.
