Facial experience to warm the night and cold winter - to my university

First of all, let me introduce myself. I am a senior undergraduate student at XX College, Shanghai XX University. My name is XXX. My major is XX Engineering. I once interned at XX and am interested in XX. I have taught myself XX language. (For privacy, XX represents parameters).

Why can I tell you such a long list when I introduce myself? Because practice makes perfect, it comes naturally.

In the past three or four months, I have been fighting with thousands of seniors and graduate students on the battlefield of finding a job. In this battlefield, there are blood and tears, and there are successes and failures. And return.

If the college entrance examination is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, then the process of finding a job is more rigorous than the college entrance examination.

The winter of 2015 came very early, was very cold and very long. During this long winter, I saw many people walking alone like me.

From the process of preparing my resume in September to finally signing a contract with my ideal company, I revised my resume several times, applied to dozens of companies, attended more than a dozen presentations, and was hungry alone. I went to an unfamiliar place for an interview with my stomach full, and successfully lost several pounds. It covers the Internet, Internet finance, securities insurance banking, e-commerce, automobile manufacturing, software services and other industries.

From September to November 30, I closed my circle of friends, reduced contact with friends, and submitted my resume, interviewed, and looked for a job with peace of mind.

In these busy and fulfilling months, I still haven’t gotten an offer. I once suffered from insomnia and anxiety. I saw many classmates around me taking offers but I still had no clue.

It seems that people’s luck always comes in waves. If you are unlucky during this period, you will be lucky next time. When I was anxious about work for two or three months, I was already desperate and ready to turn to fate. When I surrendered, it seemed like Lady Luck was on my side again.

Around 5 pm on November 30, I was busy with the work at hand, and suddenly I received a call. The sweet girl on the other end of the phone asked me if I was XXX. I said yes and asked Did I attend an interview with the company last Thursday? I said yes, and she said: Congratulations on passing the interview. I was so excited at the time that I didn’t know how to express it. It felt like the goddess you once missed every day suddenly agreed to be with you, the thing you have always longed for suddenly got your hands, and a huge stone in your heart successfully landed. Pleasure.

I think such a mood is rare in life. I have thought about it for a long time. I only had such an emotion a few years ago when I graduated from junior high school and ranked first in the school. To sum up in the words of the ancients, there are several great joys in life: the time of being named on the gold medal list and the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room. The feeling at this moment is as happy and joyful as being named on the gold list.

She asked me again if I would like to sign a contract? Ask me why I don’t look very happy? I said of course I would, I was so excited that I couldn’t speak. Then she confirmed the email and said that she would send the offer to her email later and check it out. In order to satisfy my vanity, I asked: Am I the only undergraduate student? She said no, there were other undergraduates... Then I saved this phone number on my phone and named it Lady Lucky HR.

Since then, Goddess of Luck made the first call, and all the other Gods of Luck have been dispatched. In December, I received many offers one after another, but I rejected them one by one.

Just two days ago, Shanghai General Motors called me to go for a physical examination. The moment I received the call from HR, I was excited and scared. Although I had expected all this, the moment it actually happened For a moment, I was at a loss. My mind was blank and I had no intention of working. Because I had already signed a contract, I was particularly troubled. I think Shanghai GM will be a perfect ending to my experience. From the time I submitted my resume in September to the time I was notified of the physical examination, I went to GM for 5 interviews. I brought 15 resumes and was interviewed by 6 senior managers. The final interview was I had a roundtable meeting with the senior director of SGM and IBM engineers with Ph.D. and master's degrees. I felt very satisfied to have experienced all this. As for whether the result can be applied to General Motors or not, it is no longer that important (at least that's what I thought at the time of the interview). think).

In the past few months, I have come into contact with state-owned enterprises, foreign enterprises, joint ventures, and private enterprises.

Some of them are Fortune 500 companies, some are industry leaders, some are listed companies, and some are innovative industries...

The following arrangement is in chronological order: Huawei Feiniu Network Tonglian Payment PwC IBM Shanghai Mobile Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, Wanda Information, Shanghai General Bailian E-commerce...

Because there are many companies and each company looks bloated separately, I have summarized some of the basics of finding a job, but every company has them If you want to understand the personality of each company, you can introduce them one by one when you have time:

A resume is a person's label, and a profile picture is a person's appearance. Every reputable company receives many, many resumes every day, and how to stand out among so many resumes is a skill.

When writing your resume, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Is my university 211 or 985?

2. Is my major a popular major?

3. Did I receive any scholarships in college?

4. What kind of internship experience have I had?

5. How were my grades in college?

6. What other meaningful things did I do in college besides studying?

Many people have no idea where to start when writing a resume. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there will still be a lot to write.

In addition, when writing a resume, you must highlight differentiated competition. You must have something that others don’t have to be more likely to be selected.

And HR reads the same content every day She has written her resume many times, so it would be better if you have something fresh and new to catch her eye.

Let me rank the priority of the content on the resume:

1. University

2. Major

3. Internship experience

4. Scholarships and competition awards

5. Achievements

6. Evaluation of personal characteristics

When it comes to this, another aspect is involved Question: Regarding universities and majors, are 985 universities definitely better than 211 universities? The answer is no, 985’s good majors are really good.

For example: If you tell me that you are a history major at MIT, I will feel that there is something wrong with this.

I have seen a post before saying that graduates of Peking University Jade Bird have been working for several years with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan. In fact, it is completely possible.

In short, professionalism is very important.

Now if I would recommend a major to my juniors: As far as I know, computer-related majors in science and engineering are pretty good.

I once met a girl from the School of Computer Science at my school during an interview, and she told me: Why are you in Communications trying to steal my job at the School of Computer Science?

I said it was your computer that stole my communication job. She told me that she is now interning at IBM, but she is not planning to go because she got an offer from Intel. (In addition to envy, I only have hatred)

Hey, when I think of this, I remembered that an HR told me that communication is not a computer-related major (=.=) and I instantly collapsed.

A friend said before: Nowadays, 985 university + computer major + internship experience in large companies = annual salary of 200,000. I actually believe this.

So what should you do if you are not in a 985 university or a popular major?

The way to make up for it is:

1. What have you invented and created yourself?

2. Have you worked in a relatively well-known company

3. What ACM awards have you won?

Regarding these items: Everyone can look at their own situation and go deeper.

But don’t worry, the proportion of real 985 universities + popular majors is less than 10%, and since they are not on the same level, there will be no head-on competition. The rest are similar to us, so we need to pay attention to differentiated competition at this time.

The group interview is actually a very lethal round of interviews. This round of interviews usually consists of a group of 5-10 people.

I remember that at Huawei, 10 people were divided into two groups to debate. In other companies, 5-6 people discuss a project, which are all very open questions.

Generally, one-third of the people will be removed. A small number of groups with particularly good performance will not remove people.

/p>

But if you are a shy little girl or boy, you need to practice your abilities in this area.

The group interview will test your abilities:

Ability to communicate with others

Ability to think logically

Flexibility Ability

Group interview is also called: leaderless group interview. Although it is a leaderless group interview, it is a competition with a voice.

For example:

In the group meeting at Huawei, it was the first group meeting in my life. I wore a handsome suit early in the morning (formal attire is very important and must be... A clean impression, you don’t have to be handsome but you must be clean), when you arrive at a five-star hotel, it turns out that most of them are Fudan students.

There are 10 people in our group, 8 of whom have undergraduate and master's degrees from Fudan University. The remaining two have me go to undergraduate school and the other one go to graduate school.

Because this was my first time in a group, I was extremely nervous and inexperienced, so my defeat was ugly.

Later I summarized the reasons for my failure:

In the 1.5v5 debate competition, I saw that they were all undergraduates and masters from aristocratic schools, and I felt that my undergraduate degree was too different from them. I felt guilty and did not take the initiative to grasp the right to speak.

Now that I think about it, I was too naive at the time. Now I clearly encourage the students who go to college. Although our college is not an aristocratic school, the people we go to college are still very good. Don’t be vain and work hard.

2. I was not prepared to introduce myself. At that time, each person introduced themselves for 3 minutes. When it was my turn, I kept trembling and talked nonsense and the time was exceeded. (It’s so embarrassing)

3. This is very important. Everyone must remember: Choosing a seat is very important! Choosing your seat is important! Choosing your seat is important!

Try to choose a place as close to the interviewer as possible, otherwise the interviewer will not be able to see you if you sit at the end like me (=.=)

From the first group interview, I felt guilty and nervous. So Yun was afraid of public appearances, but later on he began to enjoy the quarrels among people in public. On the one hand, this is a change in mentality. On the other hand, in fact, this is a very important ability, the ability to communicate with others, the ability to share thoughts and experiences, and the ability to think and respond quickly. . From a certain perspective, this ability is greater than your professional ability.

One final point: You must have your own opinions and attitudes in group meetings. You don’t have to appreciate my person, but please value my voice.

A few words of motto for being a good person: Don’t fight, don’t rush, don’t rush, don’t be slow; speak with reason, and speak with evidence. People who can do these words actually have the demeanor of a general.

For majors, they will generally look at your resume and ask about your project experience. This is mostly the case for science and engineering majors. I don’t know about other majors at the moment.

The professional interview rarely involves the courses you have taken in school. I am talking about very few, but occasionally I will ask about some.

Think about how to answer the following questions:

Communication related:

1. Talk about Shannon’s theorem

2. Bit rate and wave The difference between bit rates

3. Draw a constant current source

4. Introduce the TCP/IP protocol

... Welcome to add

1. Write a sql statement: it depends on luck which question you encounter, whether it is difficult or easy

2. Write a minimum stack in C++ or Java< /p>

3. Sorting algorithm

4. Flip and insert binary trees to determine whether two binary trees are equal? (Questions about data structures are almost explosive)

5. Understanding of MVC

...Welcome to add more

The interviewer will take your resume and ask Project-related questions

1. What difficulties did you encounter in this project? How to solve it?

2. What are you most satisfied with in this project? What are you most dissatisfied with?

3. Have you made any optimizations to this project?

You must be calm and confident when answering the interviewer's questions. Don't be evasive. If you don't know something, just say no, because after all, there will be questions about what you don't know. And they know that you fresh graduates are all a bunch of scum.

If you want to work in IT, you must have at least one language that you can master: c, java, c++, Android objectC, etc.

To put it bluntly, everyone is very weak, but if you are better than others, then you are the one.

But according to my observation, large companies generally don’t care about too many details. I didn’t get a single question in the General Professional Written Examination (=.=). I was unlucky. After a long time, I actually passed. I couldn’t believe it myself when it came to the professional side.

Large companies generally look at your potential and comprehensive abilities, and they will look at the performance of each link comprehensively.

Let’s take GM as an example: When I went to the professional final interview, I saw that my personnel evaluation was A, and all 6 senior managers passed it.

Generally, when you are looking for a job, you are competing with others in the early stages of brushing up your resume, doing questions, and doing group interviews.

In other words, in these rounds, we need to PK others, but the later the interview reaches, the more we will come into contact with the company’s senior management.

At this moment, everyone’s ability They are all similar, but what is more worthy of attention are some personality issues:

Think carefully about the following questions:

1. What is the thing that impressed you most in college?

2. Tell me about your three strengths and three weaknesses? And give examples

3. What are you interested in? What efforts have you made for it?

4. Tell us about your knowledge and understanding of our company? Tell us about your knowledge and understanding of this industry?

5. What are your life plans for the future? In other words: What is your dream?

6. What subjects are you best and least good at in college?

7. Do you think you have any advantages as an undergraduate student compared to a graduate student? (Actually, I think if you have reached this point, it means that your ability is already very powerful. As for the advantages, everyone knows it, it depends on how you talk about it)

In fact, these are your own problems, even if you say They are some philosophical questions, and there is no standard answer. When the interviewer asks you such questions, he often does not mean to get superficial answers, but to see your essence through these.

We may have never thought about these issues properly when we were in school. But you must think carefully about these questions before looking for a job?

Only when you understand what you want can you know what you can want. Be a smart person, be a person who understands and speaks well.

But in many cases, during the interview, the company's executives ask you some questions like this? Suddenly my mind goes blank and I don't know what I'm thinking about? It is inevitable to be eliminated.

/p>

But another word may be more suitable: God rewards hard work, and everything comes naturally.

In the process of looking for a job, I also had a dependence mentality, relying on my relatives and friends to provide me with some convenient channels.

Later, after hitting some walls, I realized that a person has to keep his head high and not bow his head. Dependence is often the biggest obstacle on our way to becoming stronger.

We must have the courage in our hearts to see what kind of path we can take by ourselves without relying on others.

In other words, we actually need to develop our own independent personality, independent thinking, and the ability to independently discover and solve problems.

In my opinion, whether you have just entered college or are already preparing for a job, postgraduate entrance examination, or studying abroad.

We all have to have our own ideas: Why did I come to this city? Why did I choose this university and this major? Why did I choose to work? Why did I choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination? Why did I study abroad?

Every step we take, we should think about why we are doing it. If we understand every step we take, then our steps will be firm and steady, and the road will be straighter and smoother, instead of just following what others say. .
