47 Interviews
Le Xiaoxiao has the feeling of just graduating and looking for a job again. Interview after interview, nervous preparation and anticipation. I feel a few years younger in an instant!
A week after the first round of interviews, Le Xiaoxiao received an email from Alicia. Swallowing his saliva, he carefully clicked on the email and sneaked in at the first word: Congratulation!
Haha, Le Xiaoxiao's heart brightened up all of a sudden, and he continued to look down: Congratulations on passing the first round of interviews! In the following week, HR organizes a second round of interviews. In addition to the Intervie of several senior leaders, the interview will include a real-life case discussion, during which each candidate will give a presentation as requested. You can ask any of your colleagues for help to provide the necessary information and discuss feasibility to assist you in completing this case study and presentation. Details of the case are as follows......
There are also case studies! Le Xiaoxiao quickly browsed through the cases given, and almost looked up to the sky and roared, it was completely God to help me! This case is the actual case that Le Xiaoxiao's group is doing now, and although Le Xiaoxiao is not the main person in charge, he has followed up the whole process. It's completely familiar, and it can't be more familiar, all the numbers Le Xiaoxiao can come easily, and all the pros and cons are familiar with it.
So the rest is to write slides, Le Xiaoxiao, who used to eat all before and after sales, is a good hand at writing slides under Yan Zhen's high standards and strict requirements. The idea is clear, the theme is clear, the details are appropriate, and it is always praised and recognized by customers.
I finished writing and revising all the slides in two hours in the afternoon. Le Xiaoxiao watched it repeatedly, it was not amazing, but it was basically a case analysis with a high degree of completion. Once the case study is done, it's all that remains for the presentation, and finally the senior manager interview.
Le Xiaoxiao counted on her fingers, and the three senior managers had the right to decide: David, as the one who encouraged herself to apply, the hiring manager, and the final choice would fall on her. Judging from the results of the first round, Alicia likes Le Xiaoxiao very much, whether it is the previous conversation or the subsequent interview, Alicia can't hide her preference for Le Xiaoxiao, a young girl. The last one is an unfamiliar name: Tom Zhou.
Not at all impressed. Le Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and sent a message to Zhai Xu.
Transparent Ming: Who is Tom Zhou?
Zhai Xu: Zhou Tang, ABC. The new R&D Director, the boss of Alicia.
Zhai Xu's message replied very quickly, and he added another sentence after replying.
Zhai Xu: Have you entered the second round of interviews? Congratulations!
Transparent Ming: Well, how many people are there in the second round of interviews?
Zhai Xu: I don't know. Usually three or four, but in the second round, basically the hiring manager has a bottom in his heart, and the back is generally the formality. You don't have to worry anymore.
Yes? Le Xiaoxiao looked at Zhai Xu's information and was a little surprised. Hiring managers already in place before the second round? So what's the second round?
Transparent Ming: Then why do you need a second round?
Zhai Xu: Alternative. See if there is any senior manager who is particularly opposed in the second round, which is generally not available.
In other words, it's basically settled. I don't know if Alicia's candidate is me. Le Xiaoxiao nibbled on the tip of the ballpoint pen and struggled. If you want to talk about Alicia's attitude towards herself, that's really good. But maybe she is so good to others, Le Xiaoxiao has never seen what the situation of other interviewees is. is entangled, Zhai Xu's information has arrived again.
Zhai Xu: But you still have to prepare well for the second round, and senior managers are not so easy to fool. Remember, don't pretend to understand, remember to talk to the relevant people. Although it is a R&D manager recruitment, the relevant technical support department, design department, marketing department, and sales department will all deal with it. If you have time, go to the interface person in charge of each department to inquire about relevant information.
Well, it's complicated! Le Xiaoxiao became more and more aware that her understanding of a R&D manager was too narrow. However, it also made her look forward to this new position more and more. After reading his case analysis again, he seemed to feel perfect, but Le Xiaoxiao was still not at ease. I suddenly remembered that I said in the previous email that you can ask any colleague in the company for help......
Transparent Ming: Zhai Xu, help me look at the PPT of the case study! Ask for advice!
Zhai Xu is still back in seconds.
Zhai Xu: Hehe, the progress is getting bigger and bigger, I look like a manager, and I know how to use resources. Send it over.
Le Xiaoxiao also felt that since she and Zhai Xu got together, she seemed to suddenly become enlightened about the way to survive in the workplace. Is it because they understand the thinking of the capitalists better?
After appreciating the email I sent to Zhai Xu with the company's mailbox, I suddenly felt that I was so high-end, so I sent an email directly to the VP!
When it was time to get off work, Le Xiaoxiao still avoided the crowd as usual for a few days, slipped to the corner of the basement and climbed up to Zhai Xu's Maserati sub-seat. Zhai Xu found a slightly quieter place to eat today, and after eating, he pushed the tableware to the table next to him, pointed to Le Xiaoxiao's huge backpack and said, "Take out the notebook, I'll tell you how to change the PPT." ”
Le Xiaoxiao opened the notebook, put it on the dining table and faced Zhai Xu, and moved himself to the card seat on Zhai Xu's side to sit next to him.
Zhai Xu pointed to the PPT and gave Le Xiaoxiao suggestions little by little. felt that it was not easy for the two to sit side by side and type, so Zhai Xu simply pulled Le Xiaoxiao in front of him and half-hugged Le Xiaoxiao. Fortunately, the booth is still quite spacious, or Le Xiaoxiao feels that Zhai Xu will definitely pull himself to sit on his lap. However, the advantage of this is that as soon as Zhai Xu pointed out the place to be changed, Le Xiaoxiao directly revised it on the document. Originally, I already felt that the PPT was quite perfect, but under the guidance of Zhai Xu, the understanding of the entire project and the analysis of the company's interests rose to a new height
"David and Alicia don't talk about it, as for Tom." Zhai Xu helped Le Xiaoxiao finish the PPT, and remembered the three interviewers, so he was a good person to the end, and even the interviewer's bottom was handed in, "Tom has done many positions, and almost all offices around the world have stayed, and he is a person who attaches great importance to the advancement of the project process." And he's the kind of manager who is very aggressive, well, and David are the two extremes. In front of Tom, you'd better be as tough and aggressive as you can. ”
Le Xiaoxiao vaguely felt that she had won this position. Everything is ready, and all possibilities that can be prepared in advance have been carefully considered. Be well-behaved to Alicia and tough on Tom, Le Xiaoxiao experienced the basic skills of long-sleeved dancing in the workplace for the first time.
Zhai Xu hesitated for a moment, brushed Le Xiaoxiao's hair that was dangling in front of his face with his hand, and still asked, "Do you need me to ask David about it?" Rest assured, I won't say anything, just care about it in general? ”
Le Xiaoxiao's head shook like a rattle, and the soft ends of her hair swept Zhai Xu's nose and itched. Zhai Xu simply took the whole person into his arms, leaned into Le Xiaoxiao's ear and asked, "What?" I didn't plan to say good things to you, just care about Yan Zhen's successor, everyone knows that Yan Zhen is my good buddy. ”
Le Xiaoxiao felt that Zhai Xu's breathing was itching her ears, twisted her body to hide, and was caught in Zhai Xu's arms more tightly twice, so she had to give up the struggle and said, "I can't help but ask you when you know." I had to know the results in advance, and it was even more troublesome, and I didn't know what to think about to face the second round of interviews. ”
"Yes, but you don't have to worry about it too long, the internal recruitment results will be announced soon." Zhai Xu's hand reached into the hem of Le Xiaoxiao's clothes irregularly, pinching her little belly, no matter how thin a girl is, it is inevitable that her little belly will be a little fat when she sits down. What's more, Le Xiaoxiao has just had a full meal and is ready to do a big job.
The second round of interviews was easier than Le Xiaoxiao imagined.
Case Study: Le Xiaoxiao talked eloquently, and there were almost no unexpected problems. The process went very smoothly. The senior manager interview also seems to be as expected.
Alicia still has a fond attitude towards Le Xiaoxiao, the questions are clear, and she seems to be very satisfied with Le Xiaoxiao's every answer. Le Xiaoxiao also felt very comfortable talking to Alicia, and seemed to be able to clearly understand the direction and intention of her question. With such a boss, the work should be very smooth in the future! Le Xiaoxiao thought happily.
Tom Zhou's interview was also unexpectedly smooth. The whole process is quite streamlined, and there are no particularly sharp questions, or even special details. The attitude is ambiguous and unclear, and it is not as radical as Zhai Xu described before.
David was clearly inclined to Le Xiaoxiao, but David had a few small talk words at the end that made Le Xiaoxiao care a lot. David said that you were obviously not as prepared as the other candidates, and you were not as motivated to apply. Actually, I didn't think you had much chance, but I didn't expect Alicia to like you so much. Regardless of the outcome, I'm sure you've got a lot to gain.
The last sentence doesn't seem very optimistic...... David was supposed to be someone who knew the inside story. Le Xiaoxiao was entangled, she originally thought that she had a big chance of winning, but why did she suddenly take a turn later? Sitting at his workstation, Le Xiaoxiao looked at the pot of pothos placed between the workstations. Suddenly, a head came out of the pothos, startling Le Xiaoxiao.
Miao Miao squeezed her eyebrows at Le Xiaoxiao, and said, "Xiaoxiao, go down with me to buy something to eat, I didn't eat much at noon, and I starved to death." ”
"Oh." Le Xiaoxiao locked the computer screen and followed Miao Miao downstairs. Hasn't this girl lost weight recently, what's wrong with this sneaky?
Miao Miao took Le Xiaoxiao's hand, bought two cups of coffee from the café downstairs, walked and exercised, and went out for a walk in the garden outside with the coffee.
Le Xiaoxiao looked at the bright sun outside, and followed the mysterious Miao Miao out of the office building speechlessly. As soon as she got out of the building, Miao Miao asked with a smile: "Sister Xiaoxiao, you have done a good job of secrecy, you don't even tell us!" But, hey, hey, hey, it's almost all over the company now! ”
"Huh?!"
