Two days later, Muzi came to one of the famous buildings in the central CBD, the Imperial Building, to participate in the interview with EB.

With a total of 46 floors, the Imperial Mansion lived up to its prestige, and was once the tallest building in Shenzhen.

About half of the floors of the Imperial Tower are EB's offices, which is a sign of the sheer size of an online shopping platform.

Muzi entered the Imperial Building, and when he looked at it, the flow of people came and went, and it didn't seem to be as fashionable as the stylish employees, but everyone's faces were full of burning confidence, and they all looked very busy.

Entering the door on the first floor of the building, there is a beautiful and atmospheric front desk in front of you, and the girls at the front desk have appropriate makeup and graceful figures.

The entire hall and elevator corridor on the first floor are mainly in golden tones, decorated with marble and brown glass partitions, the hall is more than 10 meters high, and the modern metal texture ceiling decoration is magnificent.

This is the place that Muzi dreams of. Muzi took a deep breath, took out his documents, walked forward, went to the front desk to check in, and then took the elevator to the eighteenth floor, where he made an appointment for an interview.

EB's sales business covers clothing, electronics, books, mother and child and other categories, and is a U.S.-funded listed company with a market value of more than $150 billion.

According to the business area, the EB marketing department is mainly divided into two main sections: the international business marketing department and the China business marketing department.

Taking the elevator to the door of the eighteenth floor, Muzi dialed Jason's phone: "Hello, Jason, I'm Muzi, I'm at the door of the eighteenth floor of the Imperial Building." ”

Jason picked up the phone and looked at the time it was 9:53 a.m.

Muzi believes that you must not be late for the interview, and being late will definitely lead to a great reduction in the impression of the interview, and may even directly lead to the failure of the interview.

It is advisable to arrive at the designated office building for the interview about 20 minutes in advance, and you need to allow enough time for identity verification, check-in, and the elevator upstairs.

Get in touch with the interviewer 5-10 minutes in advance.

In case of being late, be sure to contact the interviewer in advance to explain the reason and seek understanding, so as to redeem the bad impression to a certain extent.

Three minutes later, Jason appeared at the door and welcomed Muzi into the office, and the two of them came to a conference room that could accommodate about 10 people and sat down.

The meeting room is sunny and well-lit, and the long table is brightly painted, and it looks like a high-quality object.

There are also many photos and trophies hanging on the walls of the office, documenting the company's many history and honors.

"Today's lead interviewer is Linda, Head of Marketing, who will be the future direct lead of the role," Jason said.

Jason said as he poured a glass of water for Muzi, who got up and took the water and said "thank you"

At 10:10, Linda pushed the door and walked into the conference room, Muzi quickly stood up and looked at the visitor respectfully, Linda is about 30 years old, short hair, no powder, wearing a loose professional pants, flat shoes, capable and steady.

Usually the interviewer will not show up in the interview room on time, which can appear busy and dignified, and also put some pressure on the interviewer.

10 minutes late, it is already the "punctuality" in "punctuality".

Jason immediately introduced to Muzi: "This is Linda, the head of the marketing department, today's chief interviewer. ”

Mu Zi hurriedly greeted with a smile: "Hello, Linda, I'm Li Muzi." ”

Linada smiled slightly: "Sit down." ”

Seeing Linda come in with her resume, Muzi didn't take the initiative to hand in her resume again.

Generally, the interviewer will get the interviewer's resume before the interview to understand the general situation of the interviewee in advance, but special cases are not excluded, so you still need to print two resumes as a backup when participating in the interview.

At the beginning of the interview, Muzi opened the prepared notebook and paper, and humbly prepared to take notes.

For newcomers to the workplace, you can prepare a small notebook and a pen to record key questions during the interview, and if you are applying for a high-end or managerial position, it is a different matter.

This small gesture left a good impression on Muzi, and Linda's attitude was relatively gentle during the whole communication process.

Linda pulled out a chair and sat down, glanced at her resume, and said, "Hello, Li Muzi." ”

Muzi straightened up: "Hello, Linda." ”

Linda nodded slightly and asked, "I graduated from my bachelor's degree last year and am currently on the job, I have only been doing this job for a few months, why do I want to change jobs?"

Mu Zi calmly replied: "This is my first job, I cherish it very much, and I am very grateful to have this job opportunity to allow me to settle in Shencheng, the leaders are willing to promote new people, and the colleagues are also very friendly."

Speaking of this, Muzi paused for a second, and then said:

"However, I applied for this job through campus recruitment, and at that time, I had an interview in a different place and signed an employment agreement.

In fact, there is no deep understanding of the specific situation of the company, although the company belongs to China Merchants Group, but after arriving at the post, it is found that the company's operating conditions are not ideal. ”

Mu Zi pursed his lips, thought for a while, and said, "Relatively speaking, as a newcomer to the workplace, I have always been willing to learn and work.

I hope to enter the platform of the head enterprise, have the opportunity to learn advanced industry experience, working methods, and get better experience and growth. ”

Muzi's core strategy to answer this question is: objectively first promote and then suppress, and then express and make demands.

Yang: First recognize the current work, lead colleagues, and show that Muzi knows gratitude

Suppress: Present objective facts: business management is not good

Statement: willing to learn and work

Appeal: Hope to be trained and grown.

This question is one of the general module questions in Muzi's interview book, she states objectively without any complaints, and there are two pauses in between, creating a sense of realism that she answers while thinking, rather than endorsing.

Linda listened to Muzi's calm answer to this question, and was quite satisfied, and nodded slightly.

Linda then asked: "You said that your understanding of the current company is biased, which is one of the reasons why you plan to leave.

How much do you know about the job you're interviewing for, and will there be another short-term job due to cognitive biases?"

Linda is really a veteran professional, and it is easy to catch the loophole in Muzi's answer to the previous question.

Muzi paused for two seconds, seemingly answering the "facts" mentioned in the previous question and laying a "hole" for the next question, in fact, this is also one of the series of questions that Muzi has prepared.

Muzi quickly sorted out his thoughts and replied: "Although this job has not been done for a long time, it has given me a certain understanding of the workplace from completely relying on imagination to now.

I was very cautious about changing jobs, from being at a loss and not knowing how to start to collecting industry information and analyzing the industry, and finally I locked in the Internet industry. ”

Muzi paused for a second and continued: "EB is a leader in the Internet industry, ranking third in the world in the Internet industry, and even more so in China.

The company has a market capitalization of more than $100 billion and is still growing at a rate of more than 50% annually since entering the Chinese market in 2003.

At present, in the Internet industry, foreign-funded enterprises, especially American-funded enterprises like EB, are far ahead of other domestic enterprises in terms of management system, system and platform. ”

After praising EB, Muzi continued to praise himself: "Although I am not the top university graduate, my teachers and friends all evaluate me as practical and willing to learn.

Combined with the experience of working as a marketing assistant in the past few months, I feel that I have a certain understanding of the position I am interviewing for, and I have the determination and confidence to do a good job.

I would very much like to be able to join EB."

EB's background, Muzi has long been familiar with it.

The answer to this question is actually a combination of several questions in the special module and the general module in the Muzi interview preparation manual.

It can be seen that the girl in front of her has indeed done a lot of homework for today's interview.

Linda felt a frank tenacity in Muzi's body.

Linda smiled and asked, "Your teachers and classmates have all commented on your steadfastness and willingness to learn, how do you think they came to this conclusion?

After a few questions, Muzi came to the conclusion that Linda is a very logical person.

Muzi thought for a moment and said: "Although I am not a very top university graduate, I have been excellent in character and learning since I was a child, and I won a second-class scholarship in college for two consecutive years.

My family's financial conditions are not very good, so I have been participating in part-time jobs during college to reduce my mother's financial pressure. ”

"Self-evaluation......" Muzi thought for a moment and then replied:

"The disadvantage is that it is a bit axial, and it is not easy to give up the things that I identify, for example, for the position I am interviewing for now, I have actually worked hard for a long time.

From submitting resumes, to receiving a call from Jason, to returning to Shencheng from his hometown in advance for the Chinese New Year in order to prepare for the interview, he took the initiative to contact Jason for an interview opportunity. “

Muzi told the story as if he were telling someone else's story.

After saying that, I smiled a little embarrassed.

"What about the advantages" Muzi thought for a while: "My mother and friends think that I am an understanding and easy to communicate person. ”
