Chapter 11: Two Rounds of Interviews in a Row (Ask for Comments, Ask for Recommendations)
Linda smiled, this little girl, when she talks about her shortcomings, she is actually talking about her own advantages in disguise.
It's more interesting to talk about the merits, not to say it positively, but to show it from someone else's point of view.
It's quite convincing, this little cleverness is obvious, but it's not annoying.
Then Linda asked, "What are your plans for your life, and what are your dreams?"
I have to say that this is a problem that Muzi is not prepared for, she thought about it and said frankly: "I am still young, I haven't thought very far."
When I applied for my first job, I was thinking about how to establish a foothold in the deep city, and when I had a salary, my mother would not have to work so hard.
Now I think it's simple, I hope to have a better platform, I can grow quickly, and then I can pick up my mother to live with me in the deep city. ”
Muzi frowned and said:
"If you mean that planning is work-related, frankly speaking, I am still relatively immature, and I very much hope that working in a good company like EB can have a more cutting-edge perspective, so that I can have the ability to think and plan, and not deviate. ”
After answering a few questions, Muzi became more and more relaxed, his eyes lit up when he answered this question, and his little face was rosy.
Linda then asked a few more questions, such as the specific content of her previous job, and one thing she was proud of in her previous job, and then Linda asked, "What are your hobbies?"
Muzi said: "In terms of hobbies, there are no particularly outstanding ones, and I usually listen to music and read books. ”
Linda asked, "Tell me what books you've been reading lately?"
Muzi thought for a while: "Before the Chinese New Year, I read a book "Seven Habits for Cultivating Highly Effective People"
The 7 habits mentioned in it play a very important role in sorting out my job search ideas and the facts of my job search plan.
During the Chinese New Year holiday, I read a book "Meet the Unknown Self", during that time I was a little impatient and anxious about finding a job, and I calmed down after reading this book.
I was inspired and baptized physically and mentally. I hope to have the opportunity to communicate with you about reading in depth. “
Linda was a little surprised, she had interviewed interviewees whose so-called hobby was "reading" in many interviews, and almost none of them could say so clearly what books they had been reading recently.
What is the takeaway after reading,
And to what extent to read,
Even Muzi talked about the insights she gained from her recent reading to help her prepare for the interview.
In addition, she couldn't help laughing at Muzi's "careful" and very "playful" "appointment" with her that she would have the opportunity to share her reading feelings in depth in the future.
Because usually only if you succeed in the interview and become a colleague in the future, you will have such a "chance".
Linda has a good impression of Muzi, with clear thinking and clear goals, and her idea of taking her mother to live with her also moved Linda a little.
At the end of the interview, linda said: "Let me briefly introduce our team: our department is mainly responsible for the commercial procurement of marketing resources of EB China's apparel division. The department is mainly divided by procurement category and currently has close to 20 employees. “
"That's probably the case," Linda asked, "I wonder if you have any other questions?"
Muzi said: I have two questions:
"The first question is, what kind of training system does your company have for newcomers?
Second question: If I can, I would like to know the interview process for this position, for example, how many rounds of interviews will there be, how long will there be an interview result, and if you don't pass the interview, will you let me know?"
Linda thought for a moment and said: "The first question: EB has a very complete new employee training and on-the-job training system.
After the on-site training is completed, the department will arrange a business mentor for the newcomer, and the business mentor will focus on the training of the content of the security requirements within a month, and the newcomer will be over-coached within half a year.
Of course, we also have a huge number of online training courses. “
Linda thinks these are two high-quality questions, and she is more than happy to answer them: "Second question: Usually there are 3 rounds of interviews for this position, I will be the first and HR Jason will be the second.
Then Jason and I will combine our opinions to decide whether or not you will make it to the third round, and the third round of interviewers will be the marketing director of our department.
If the interview is not successful, we will not initiate a notification, and the interview will be notified within a week. “
Muzi nodded and said, "Thank you, I don't have any other questions"
Linda said, "Okay, let's wait a minute. ”
With that, Linda turned and walked out of the conference room.
More than ten minutes later, Jason entered the conference room, and Muzi was much more relaxed than when he had just met Linda.
Jason and Muzi didn't talk for a long time, mainly to introduce EB's compensation and benefits system.
He told Muzi that the marketing department of EB, where this position is located, is mainly responsible for the marketing and procurement business of the women's clothing division in China, with 15 days of annual leave a year, and the implementation of a monthly salary plus year-end bonus system, which can probably get 14-16 salaries a year, and if the performance is good, it may be more.
The company has a complete newcomer training and job training system.
The company will arrange team building (team trip) twice a year.
In addition to paying social security and medical insurance for employees, the company will also pay additional commercial insurance and free physical examination every year. . .
Listening to it, Muzi's little heart fluttered, and she felt that EB was really a super perfect company.
Finally, to the most critical question: "Your resume shows that your current salary is 4,500 yuan a month, what is your salary expectation for the position you are interviewing for?"
Muzi thought for a while and said, "I hope that the current salary will increase by 30%." ”
Muzi was still shallow in the end, unable to hold his breath, and before Jason could reply, Muzi explained again:
"I make this expectation based on the following considerations:
First, it is understood that the salary increase for job hopping is generally 20%-30%.
Second, my company's current business situation is not very good, and it belongs to the manufacturing industry, EB is a leader in the Internet industry, with proud performance and good reputation;
Third, I have more than half a year of work experience, and the company is planning to give me a salary increase after the Chinese New Year. ”
Muzi paused for a second and concluded: "Based on the above considerations, I think my expected salary increase of 30% is more reasonable.
Of course, I believe that EB must have a very complete salary system, and will definitely provide interviewees with a fair and competitive salary package. ”
This explanation actually means that she still has room to negotiate on the salary requirements, because she is not sure that EB will be able to offer her expected figures, and hopes to fight for a salary, but she is afraid that she will mess up the interview because of the high asking price.
Jason quickly mentally calculated, 4500 yuan rose by 30%, is 5850 yuan.
At present, the position of Muzi interview is marketing specialist, this position can be divided into 1-6 levels according to the qualifications of the interviewer, the first level is usually a bachelor's degree graduate, level 6 is the expert level, level 6 is rarely reached by the company, and the proportion of level 4 senior personnel is relatively large.
Muzi has more than half a year of work experience, and as far as Jason's communication with Linda just now, Linda recognizes Muzi as a whole.
Muzi can basically be matched to level 2, level 2 is usually a graduate degree or a person with a certain work experience, the salary range is 5000-7000 yuan, and Muzi's target treatment of 5850 yuan falls in this range.
Jason replied, "Okay, understood, there's no problem on my side, do you have any other questions?"
Muzi said: "Just now Linda said that there are three rounds of interviews for this position, Linda, you, and the regional director, have the interviews between Linda and you been completed now?"
Jason said, "Yes"
Muzi then asked, "Excuse me, how long will it take for me to enter the third round of interviews?"
Jason said: "The regional director is the final meeting, he's busy, and we need to make an appointment with him, but it's usually within a week. ”
Muzi said, "Okay, thank you very much, I have no problem"
Walking out of the Imperial Building, Mu Zi reluctantly looked back and sighed: If you can work in this building, you will be half a successful person.
