Early on Sunday morning, because I estimated that the person who took over my shift was one of the two boys in the technical group, I didn't wait for the successor to come, so I went directly out of the factory and took the car to the national exhibition.

Ma Chao and I made an appointment to meet at the gate of the National Exhibition at 9 o'clock, and he called me at 8:57 to ask where I was.

"I'm already in the taxi and I'll be there shortly. I replied to him.

"Oh, I'm just telling you, it has to get a ticket to get through the gate here. I've already got both of our tickets, you can just come to me when you get off the bus later, and I'll stand at the door. ”

After hanging up the phone, I saw Ma Chaoren, standing under a large display screen outside the National Exhibition and looking around, very conspicuous.

After getting out of the car, I lit a cigarette and walked over to Ma Chao.

When Ma Chao saw me, he directly stuffed the ticket into my hand and said, "Don't draw it, let's hurry up." ”

"What's the hurry, didn't you just start?" the notice said that it started at 9 o'clock, and at this time, a large number of job seekers had already entered the venue one after another, and they did look like graduate students in terms of dress, all of them wearing glasses and carrying their shoulders.

"How was your marriage yesterday?" I asked Ma Chao.

"It's okay, you smoke it quickly. "Ma Chao is obviously all focused on looking for a job today, and I wonder if he was still thinking about how to introduce himself to the employer when he entered the cave room last night.

Although this was only the second job fair I attended, I was already able to confirm that it was the largest job fair in Beijing. At first, I didn't have a clear and three-dimensional concept in my mind that a hall could accommodate 200 recruiters, until Ma Chao and I entered the first exhibition hall, and found that the recruitment booths in this hall were densely packed together, as if a wall had been erected, and walking here seemed to be shuttling through a huge maze and unable to find the direction.

The two of us decided to act together. When I submitted my resume, Ma Chao stood by and listened to what I and the recruiter said, and when he submitted his resume, I listened to what he had to say. I often encounter popular company booths in front of the market, just waiting in line for 20 minutes, and it took two and a half hours to visit the first hall.

"No, we're going to have to change our strategy. I said to Ma Chao, "What you say is the same as facing the iron rice bowl, and you always say the word 'stability', but the people I interviewed are all private companies and foreign companies, so I don't need your set of words at all, and it's too time-consuming for us to vote like this." ”

"Then let's go our separate ways?" Ma Chao asked me.

"It's not okay to be separated, so let's go to Hall 4 first. "I think the current speed of the two of us is slow, and there must be a lot of people in Hall 2 and Hall 3 at this time, and Hall 5 is estimated to be indispensable because of the existence of people who do the opposite, and relatively speaking, Hall 4 may have the least number of people.

We went straight through the two halls and found that there were fewer people in Hall 4 than in the first two halls, but there were still queues in front of the booths of some popular companies.

"Let's act together this time, but let's sweep each other in a row and go to the last row first. ”

Ma Chao and I walked to the last row of Hall 4, and the number of people was a little smaller than the previous rows.

"Is there a unit in this row that you fancied before?" I asked Ma Chao, and at the same time opened my own mobile phone records, and found that there was no company I wanted to invest in in this row.

"There are two. Ma Chao said that he showed me the booth number, which was the Machine Tool R&D Center and the Academy of Mechanical Sciences.

"You haven't wiped enough machine tools?" I asked Ma Chao.

"This doesn't recruit workers, and the R&D people won't wipe it anymore, right?"

I looked at both sides to look for these two units, and found that there were five or six students lined up in front of the Academy of Mechanical Sciences, and the R&D center was now empty, so I hurriedly called Ma Chao: "I'll go to the Academy of Mechanical Sciences for you, you go to the R&D center first, and find me when you're done." ”

In the next few rows, we continued to use this method, skipping those who didn't meet them, and when they met everyone who had them, they were in their own rows, and whoever finished the work first went to the other party to discuss whether to help row down or continue to row their own, and it took only 50 minutes for the No. 4 exhibition hall to be swept by us.

"Let's go eat first, then come back and wander around the rest of the exhibition halls. After tasting the sweetness of this method, Ma Chao wanted to take advantage of the victory and chase after it, and walked through the rest of the exhibition hall in one go, but I stopped him.

The reason I gave is that it is now time to eat, although most of the job seekers have gone to eat, the exhibition hall seems to be much more empty than before, it seems to be a good time to submit resumes, but the recruiters of the last few units of our resumes have opened the national exhibition for them to prepare a working meal to eat, they also behaved proudly after receiving my resume and Ma Chao's resume, obviously not as interested in us as the companies we chose when the resume was hot in the morning, and the questions asked were also like perfunctory, I think the success rate of submitting resumes when the other party is eating is definitely not high, it is better for us to go to dinner, and then wait for everyone to finish eating, and then re-enter the fiery state just now.

We left the exhibition hall and left the exhibition hall at the nearest exit 3, and there was a ramen restaurant across the street, and the restaurants near the exhibition were already full. After entering the ramen restaurant, Ma Chao asked me to find a seat first, he went to the front desk to order, I happened to see a table of people who were about to leave after eating, so I went over to occupy a seat, took out my mobile phone and reported the results of the morning to Yang Yang. After a while, Ma Chao came over with two bowls of ramen.

During the meal, I asked Ma Chao: "You just got married and let me go out to find a job, your daughter-in-law didn't say anything about you?"

Ma Chao's hand holding the chopsticks shook and said, "It's okay." ”

"Then do you have marriage leave? Tell the factory if you don't have to go to work?"

"Forget it, I don't want them to know. ”

Ma Chao told the people in the technical team about the blind date before, but Zhao Yiming said: "Is there still a woman who can take a fancy to you?" Ma Chao later told me that he almost smoked at that time.

I didn't think Ma Chao was very interested in me talking about marriage, so I didn't continue, and hurriedly finished eating ramen, and we stepped into the battlefield of the National Exhibition Job Fair.

In the afternoon, we took the prescriptions, and we took down the last three exhibition halls for a total of three hours, including the time spent on the road when we came out to smoke and went to the independent 5th exhibition hall. Although Ma Chao was full of confidence in this job search, he still went straight to the factory to be on duty after leaving the national exhibition. I was going back to school and was not on the same road with him, so I lit a cigarette and walked slowly down the street.

Now the time is close to half past four, some of the iron rice bowl units have been off work one after another, I see the street pedestrians gradually increasing, some workers with shoulder bags, wearing nondescript clothes, yellowed old faces full of oil, when I hear them smiling obscenely and beckoning colleagues to take a bath together at night, when I see them clenching their back molars in order to squeeze into a bus that is already full, showing their fierce elbows against other people's heads, when I smell the bad breath they emit when they pass me, my heart suddenly firms, this kind of life is not what I want, I'm going to fight to the end with Ya.

On the way back to school, I received a call from an employer, which is a company that sells mechanical products, they originally asked me to go to the interview on Monday, but I was worried that it would be difficult to ask for leave on Monday, after all, I also want to find a job This move has not been clearly exposed in the factory, I plan to determine that I will go to Liu Jianhua for a showdown after the next home, so I asked the other party if I could change the day, and finally the interview time was scheduled for Wednesday morning.
