To improve your working ability, you need to learn from the experience of your colleagues in the workplace. In the workplace, we should dare to admit our mistakes. Will you try to apply for a job by SMS? Those things in the workplace.

Will you try to apply for a job by SMS? 1 Miss Xu, 28 years old in Beijing, used her mobile phone more frequently a while ago. It's not the phone that keeps Miss Xu's cell phone ringing, but the short message. These short messages are not weather forecasts, greetings from friends, but recruitment information tailored for her. 17 days later, after receiving the mobile phone recruitment message of 17, she finally chose a satisfactory job and worked in the catering department of a hotel in Beijing. Her evaluation of mobile phone job hunting is: convenient, economical, timely and accurate.

Since the mobile phone job search service was launched in Beijing on June 65438+1October 65438+August, nearly 20,000 job seekers have accepted this service, and more than 80,000 messages have been received, with more than 2,000 people online every day. Compared with traditional job fairs, media advertising, online recruitment, headhunting recruitment, etc. The value-added service of recruiting SMS mobile phones is smoother and more targeted. Some people call it "the fifth job intermediary".

Mobile phone short message job hunting is a brand-new talent recruitment information publishing platform based on GSM/CDMA access mode and browsing through mobile phones. The staff of Beijing Talent Service Center, which provides this service, said that job seekers first input their own relevant information, such as personal situation and occupation they need to find, and the computer will automatically select the job position that best meets the user's personal requirements from tens of thousands of recruitment information stored by the employer, and send it to job seekers through SMS. Job seekers don't have to pay any fees after they find a job. However, every text message a job seeker receives costs 0.3 yuan.

At present, only a few users have opened this service by telephone, and most users apply directly and cancel it automatically through SMS, so the success rate of this service is not easy to calculate. The reporter found from their registration form that more than 80% of the job seekers applying for this service are between the ages of 25 and 35, and the positions with high success rate are mainly concentrated in property management, sales, accounting, secretarial, driver and other positions.

It is reported that Beijing is not the first city to launch this job search service. In May this year, Shenzhen took the lead in launching this service. At present, their daily online users have reached tens of thousands. Shanghai followed closely and started this service on September 25th. At present, 3,000 to 4,000 recruitment messages are sent every day. In addition, Wuhan and Changchun have also opened this service.

Competition of job-seeking methods

The advantage of the job fair is that it has a strong sense of existence, and job seekers have a more intuitive understanding of the recruitment unit, and at the same time there are channels to give full play to their abilities. The disadvantage is to go to the scene, and it is crowded around. Looking for a job is like fighting a war. It feels like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The advantages of newspaper advertisements are large amount of information and long retention time. The disadvantage is that there is a lot of information on a page that adapts to and does not adapt to its own situation, which is very troublesome to find.

Online recruitment is a new way of job hunting. Its advantage is convenience, but its disadvantage is that everyone can enjoy this service. In addition, a lot of information is updated too slowly, which affects the authenticity of information.

Headhunting companies have become more and more familiar in recent years, but their limitations are also obvious: the recruitment targets are strictly limited, and they are only a "club" for a few middle and senior talents.

Mobile phone job hunting is only the patent of "mobile phone family", and the level and accuracy of its information source need to be tested, which is estimated to have limited appeal to young people with high academic qualifications.

Will you try to apply for a job by SMS? The so-called SMS job hunting is to apply for this service on a fixed website or related units. And edit your basic information and application requirements into short messages and send them to the designated number or information platform, which will send the qualified unit information to users in the form of short messages. It is understood that at present, local talent markets and talent networks in Shandong and Heilongjiang have opened this service, with 2 to 5 messages per day, and the charges are mostly between 0.3 yuan and 0.5 yuan.

In March of this year, Xiao Wang of Jianghan University sent a job-seeking short message to a talent website in Wuhan: after writing his own situation into the short message, he received about 6 job-seeking information one after another. She chose a secretarial position in a private company to apply for, and recently passed the interview, just waiting for the final result of the employer.

Mix of Huazhong Normal University believes that short messages, known as the fourth media, are very fashionable as a way of job hunting, and young people like to follow the fashion and are willing to accept it. Xiao Li of Jianghan University refused to catch up with this fashion. He believes that the cost of SMS job hunting is high, the authenticity of information is doubtful, and the success rate will not be high. Xiao Chen of Wuhan University has a wait-and-see attitude. He said that if it is in an extraordinary period, such as SARS, it is not bad to use this method, but generally speaking, conventional methods will be adopted, such as attending job fairs.

In this regard, Mr. Hu from the School of Foreign Languages of Huazhong Normal University expressed his views. He thinks we should look at it in two. Modern people's job-hunting means are increasingly diversified, which is conducive to job seekers to expand the scope of job hunting. At the same time, it should be noted that because the supply and demand sides do not meet, individuals may falsely report their resumes and the other party may provide false information, so students should be particularly cautious. Perhaps SMS job hunting caters to the psychology of young people, but it can't replace the mainstream job hunting method. Teacher Zhang of Jianghan University believes that online job hunting was not optimistic at first, but now it has been accepted by many people. Although there are some problems, there is still room for development in SMS job hunting.
