Chapter 684: Interview

"Ahh

Amelia Roy finished her breakfast and sat down in front of her computer to open her email and check her email without even putting away her plate.

When she saw the written test notice from SAP Times, she immediately let out an amazing scream.

She submitted her resume to apply to "SAP Times" purely with the idea that "thieves don't go empty" and have dates without dates, I really didn't expect to be passed, after all, the college she graduated from does not meet, and she is not a party member. Now when I see the written test notice, I naturally scream in surprise.

SAP Times is a subordinate unit of the Propaganda Department, so the staff are all civil servants.

There are no public institutions in the United States, so most public institutions, such as hospitals, post offices, and cleaners...... All belong to the civil service establishment.

Civil servants in the United States are not as popular as in rabbit countries, so children ask them what they want to do when they grow up, some want to be dentists, some want to be cooks, but they don't hear of people who want to be civil servants.

There is no way, the salary of civil servants in the United States is generally low, and most of them do not even reach the average salary, which is to ensure income in drought and flood, and not die of starvation.

However, in recent years, the credibility of the government has been increasing, the number of civil servants has been improved due to the downsizing and layoffs, and the number of applicants for the civil service examination has gradually increased, and last year there was a grand situation in which 370,000 people competed for 3,321 positions. In just half a year this year, the number of people who applied for the SAP Times has reached 13,000.

So although civil servants are not popular, they are not so easy to enter, and Amelia Roy has to defeat hundreds of professionally born opponents like her, or even stronger than her, if she wants to go to SAP Times.

The civil service examination process in the United States is similar to that of the rabbit country, with written exams, interviews, background checks, and physical examinations, all of which are passed before being admitted.

So Amelia Roy is now waiting for the written exam.

The assessment of civil servants in the United States attaches more importance to written examinations, focusing on assessing the professional skills of candidates, while corporate recruitment attaches more importance to interviews and focuses on testing the candidates' on-site adaptability, and the two have different emphasis.

As a reporter, you must not only be able to write articles, but also conduct on-site interviews, so this is a job that requires professional knowledge and on-the-spot performance.

After getting the written test notice of "SAP Times", Amelia Roy entered a period of full preparation, "SAP Times" is the unit she wants to enter the most, so she gave up the interview notice of other newspapers, ready to fight against the odds, and strive to enter "SAP Times".

There are opportunities that people may only encounter once in this life, and Amelia Roy knows that this is an opportunity to change her life, and nothing is more important than this opportunity.

So after getting the notice, she started the crazy study mode and put aside what her parents were going to do.

Luck only favors those who are prepared, and under Amelia Roy's frenzied study day and night, she defeated the vast majority of her competitors, eliminating 978 out of 1,123 candidates after the written test, leaving 145 to enter the interview stage.

There were two rounds of interviews, the first round was an interview with the HR department of SAP Times, and 135 people were eliminated in this round, leaving 10 people to enter the second round of interviews.

The second round of interviews is a job interview, which is mainly carried out by the management of the recruiting department. Due to the special position, the interviewers this time not only have the director of the palace office, but also the president, vice president, and the head of the personnel department, which is extremely high-level.

…………

After Amelia Roy received the notice of passing the first round of interviews, she ran to Fifth Avenue and spent half a month's salary of 1,500 hundred dollars to buy a dark blue professional suit, which made her look more energetic and capable.

She prepares to wear the suit for the second round of interviews and show the interviewer the best of herself.

The next day, Amelia Roy came to the SAP Times in a battle robe.

There were a total of 10 people participating in the second round of interviews, and when Amelia Roy came to the waiting room, the other 9 people had already arrived, but everyone didn't chat, and the waiting room was so quiet that you could hear a needle falling to the ground, 10 people grabbed a position, and everyone regarded each other as opponents, looking at each other's eyes with vigilance.

After Amelia Roy entered the waiting room, she found a vacant seat and sat down, and did not communicate with the people around her, quietly waiting for the interview to start.

Half an hour later, the interview began, a staff member in professional attire held the list in his hand, called away the people in the waiting room one by one, these people left and did not come back, watching the number of people in the waiting room decrease one by one, Amelia Roy gradually became nervous, and when she was the only one left, she felt that time passed very slowly, and every minute was a torment.

"Amelia Roy, it's your turn, let me go!"

Just as Amelia Roy was so nervous that her palms were sweating, a voice came from the door.

"Okay!"

Amelia Roy let out a sigh, picked up her handbag and followed the staff towards the interview room.

The two walked all the way down the long hallway, took a small turn, and came to a dark red solid wood door, which the staff pushed open and motioned for Amelia Roy to enter.

Amelia Roy nodded slightly to the staff and stepped inside.

The interview room is not very large, with a chair on the opposite side of the door, and a long table directly opposite the chair, behind which sit five unsmiling interviewers.

"You may be seated!"

"Thank you!"

Amelia Roy nodded slightly after hearing the interviewer's words, sat down and gently put her handbag at her feet, and then quietly looked at the five interviewers in front of her.

The five interviewers were all very young, four men and one woman, the youngest was about 40 years old, and the oldest was the interviewer sitting in the middle, who looked to be in his 50s.

Although Amelia Roy didn't know who these interviewers were, she knew that the people who usually sat in the middle were the highest-ranking people on the scene, and they were the ones who decided her fate.

In the general interview, as long as the person with the highest level on the scene is obtained, the interview is basically considered successful.

So when Amelia Roy knew that the person who decided her fate was the interviewer sitting in the middle, she kept looking at the interviewer in the middle solemnly, not caring about the distraction at all.

The first round of interviews is usually a test of professional skills, so during the first round of interviews, the interviewer asked Amelia Roy a lot of professional questions about journalism.

The second round of interviews mainly focused on impromptu performance, and this round of interview questions was very wide-ranging, and there would even be some strange questions, so before the interview, Amelia Roy looked up a lot of similar interviews, including which very strange questions she also made up for it.
