Chapter 4 Interview
The pace of graduation is approaching, and there are not many students who have really found a good job, and after everyone has recognized the situation, the requirements for work have been repeatedly reduced, and the nature of the unit, benefits, and job functions have become more and more extensive. As everyone became more and more pragmatic, some students began to find jobs and started to work, and many students returned to their hometowns to work, and there were fewer and fewer people in school.
Du Nannan is still desperately looking for a job, newspapers, job fairs, classmates introductions, as long as it is an opportunity, he still does not let go. What rekindled his hope was that Ben, who was used by him as a day trip to the TV station, actually notified him to participate in the second round of written exams. Another week passed, and the third interview notice came down. According to past experience, those who enter the second round of interviews are basically 60010 likely to be hired, and those who enter the third round of interviews are almost 80% likely to be hired. Du Nannan excitedly told Jiajia the news, and Jiajia was also very happy, helping the man to simulate the problems that he might encounter in the third round of interviews, looking like he was determined to win.
Since the third round of interviews on the TV station is next week, this week, Du Nannan will also attach great importance to the recruitment interview of a ** trading company. This information was read by Xiao Liu from the newspaper. The advertisement occupies half of the layout of the Northern Metropolis Daily, which is very eye-catching, with a huge corporate logo and impactful advertising pictures, showing the domineering spirit of the enterprise everywhere. What makes everyone even more excited is that the newspaper reads: the company's way of employing people is the priority of ability, not academic qualifications, college degree or above; The salary is preferential, with a monthly salary of 1,800 yuan for sales, 1,500 yuan for secretaries and clerks, and 2,000 yuan for human resources and accountants...... Other more senior positions can cost more than 3,000 yuan a month; The company is in a stage of rapid growth, in urgent need of a variety of talents, recruiting 60 sales personnel, 30 secretaries, clerks...... All in all, the number of recruits this time exceeded 100 people. Such a large-scale recruitment is a rare opportunity for fresh graduates, and this level of treatment is even more eye-catching for everyone.
In 2000, the per capita salary in Northern City was only 800 yuan, and many college graduates could not even reach this level, while the starting salary of this Hong Kong-funded enterprise was about 2,000 yuan, which was really coveted. Xiao Liu accidentally saw this advertisement and secretly told Du Nannan without telling anyone else. Men and men also know that at the critical moment of looking for a job, people are inevitably selfish, if this good news is widely publicized, won't they make themselves a lot more competitors? The man originally wanted to invite the other brothers in the dormitory to go with him, but Xiaoliu seemed to cherish this opportunity very much, and told him not to tell anyone that he must keep this promise, so he was also silent about others, but he looked a little reluctant in his heart.
Du Nannan and Xiaoliu sneaked out of the school as if they were doing something bad and jumped on a bus bound for the city. After more than an hour of bumping, they came to the interview address notified by the newspaper - the Dragon Boat Hotel in North City. Standing in front of the hotel, looking at this dilapidated old hotel, Du Nannan felt a little lost. There is no luxury office in his fantasy, even if it is a hotel, he fantasizes about the kind of splendor, but the hotel in front of him obviously does not bring any glory to this enterprise. But even so, the hotel lobby was already full of all kinds of people, most of whom were fresh graduates like Du Nannan. Du Nannan turned his head to look at Xiao Liu, and found that Xiao Liu didn't seem to realize the problem at all, and still looked very excited.
Entering the lobby, a smell of sweat came to the face, and the air conditioning of the hotel obviously could not withstand this large number of applicants. Du Nannan and Xiaoliu looked around, on the left side of the lobby, the applicants lined up in two lines, with two tables in the front and an interviewer sitting in the back, which seemed to be the place for the first examination. The two of them obediently lined up at the back of the line.
The first test seemed to be very fast, Du Nannan observed, basically a candidate just sat down, handed over his resume, and ended in less than two minutes, and then happily went upstairs. So although there were a lot of people, it was very efficient, and Du Nannan and Xiaoliu waited for more than ten minutes before it was their turn.
"I'll go first, I wish me success!" Xiaoliu whispered to Du Nannan, and stepped forward to sit on the bench of the interview.
Soon, Du Nannan saw the interviewer say to Xiao Liu with a smile on his face: "Young man, you will definitely succeed, go!" ”
Xiao Liu hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Li!" Thank you, Mr. Li! He stood up, glanced back at Du Nannan, quietly made an OK gesture, and ran towards the stairs.
"Next!" The interviewer shouted at Du Nannan.
Du Nannan hurriedly stepped forward, smiled, and handed over his resume to introduce himself: "Hello teacher, I am Du Nannan, a fresh graduate this year, learning English. ”
The interviewer was a short and fat man, with a big back combed, gold-rimmed glasses, a suit, and a tie tied tightly, and the collar was already soaked with sweat. The fat interviewer took Du Nannan's resume and didn't read it, but stared at Du Nannan, as if he wanted to read something.
"Young man, what is your dream?"
Du Nannan was stunned, there were so many interviews, it seemed that there was really no such opening. "My original dream was to be a translator, but now I want to serve your company and grow with it," he said. ”
The fat interviewer was obviously satisfied with this answer and laughed hehehe. He put the resume in his hand on the table, stretched out his two hands and asked, "Young man, if we have a very potential business opportunity, are you willing to work with us?" ”
Du Nannan replied without hesitation: "Of course I do." ”
The fat interviewer was even happier, he leaned forward a little, and said a little mysteriously: "I think you have very good potential, you are a talent, you are likely to become the pillar of our company's future, young man, I am optimistic about you!" Without waiting for Du Nannan to speak, he took out a big red seal and stamped a red seal on Du Nannan's resume, "You passed, now go to the second floor to participate in the training." He handed his resume back to Du Nannan, "Remember your dream, our company is likely to change your life, come on!" ”
It was the first time for Du Nannan to get such evaluation and encouragement in the interview, and he was also a little excited, and he said several thanks.
Standing up and just about to leave, he suddenly hesitated, turned his head and asked the fat interviewer with a smile: "Teacher, I want to know, what kind of products does our company sell?" ”
The fat interviewer raised his head and said meaningfully: "Young man, it doesn't matter, what matters is whether you have the passion and courage to change your destiny!" After saying that, he waved his fat fist.
Du Nannan didn't want to ask anything more, said goodbye to the fat interviewer, and came to the second floor.
On the second floor, Du Nannan found that this hotel is used for both commercial and residential purposes, with both guest rooms and offices. There are several large offices on the second floor, and "Conference Room 1" and "Conference Room 2" are written on A4 paper. Just when he was hesitating where to train, a staff member took the initiative to step forward, took Du Nannan's resume, glanced at the red badge on it, and brought him into the No. 2 conference room. Entering the conference room, Du Nannan saw a very young girl giving a lecture on the stage, and there were a lot of applicants sitting in the dark. No one cared when he came in, so Du Nannan quietly walked to the last position and sat down.
The young female lecturer on the stage was speaking impassionedly: "Students, you are China's future, China's hope, your dream determines the future of the Chinese nation, your success not only belongs to yourself, it also belongs to your parents, your school, your ancestors, ......" Du Nannan was confused, he thought that the training was a comprehensive introduction to the company, an introduction to products and business, and why does it seem to be a lecture here? He was feeling confused, and the female lecturer on the stage suddenly shouted to everyone: "Now, I want to see your hands, see your passion and courage, everyone raise your hands, and say with me, 'I am born to be ......talented, invincible'" In the audience, dozens of young people raised their hands and raised their arms at the same time and shouted, and for a time the deafening slogans filled the entire conference room.
Du Nannan hid behind and shouted slogans, but he kept muttering in his heart: What kind of company is this? What the hell are they running and how do they feel weird? Thinking to himself, he secretly looked around, and the eyes of the people next to him flashed with excitement, and they were shouting slogans as the lecturer shouted, completely oblivious to his presence. Just when Du Nannan was looking left and right, the lecturer on the stage suddenly stopped shouting slogans, pointed at Du Nannan and said: "I found a person who is not suitable for our company, he does not have the courage and passion to engage in our great cause, we don't need such a person who is not strong-willed, blow him out, everyone will blow him out with me!" With the lecturer's words, the eyes of everyone in the audience were focused on Du Nannan. Du Nannan was nervous for a while, a little overwhelmed. But when he heard that the lecturer had given the order to evict the guests, he had to stand up awkwardly and quickly move to the door and walk out.
Du Nannan walked out of the hotel, looked back, and felt an indescribable awkwardness in his heart. He vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the company, but he didn't know what the problem was. Before Xiaoliu came out, he sat on the side of the road and rested while waiting...... Time ticked by, Xiao Liu never came out, seeing that it was getting late, Du Nannan was a little anxious, and went back and forth around the hotel, and after another half an hour, Xiao Liu reluctantly walked out of the hotel gate.
"Why has it been so long, you've been training for at least three hours, right?" Du Nannan said a little impatiently.
The sixth didn't seem to care about Du Nannan's emotions at all and said: "Fourth, I think I'm so lucky, I seem to have found my direction in life, and this company can change my destiny." ”
Du Nannan laughed and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
Lao Liu put his hand in his trouser pocket and said with a happy expression: "I found that this company is very energetic and cohesive, everyone is very passionate and motivated, such a team will succeed in whatever it does, you believe me." Du Nannan didn't say a word, and walked forward silently.
The sixth suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why did you come out so early?" ”
Du Nannan said embarrassedly: "I don't know why, I was blasted out." ”
Lao Liu sighed and said: "Ahem, it must be that you are not active enough, you remember, no company likes employees who are disloyal and unpassionate to the company, and there are a lot of people in our conference room who have been blasted out." Ahem, man, you've lost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Listening to Xiao Liuliu say this, the man felt a little sorry in his heart, cough, why didn't he be active at that time?
On the bus, the two of them sat in the last row. The man continued to ask: "Sixth, I really want to know what business their company does, the fat man was mysterious during the interview, and he never told me." ”
Lao Liu turned to the side, lowered his voice and said to Du Nannan: "This is a secret of the company, and the lecturer asked us not to spread it, not even to our families." ”
Du Nannan felt quite funny, "Is it necessary?" Don't tell me you're selling drugs. ”
Lao Liuyi said anxiously when he heard this: "Don't talk nonsense, what our company sells is the latest discovery of a plant extract, which is a special drug for the treatment of cancer, only our company has this technology to synthesize, and this plant is only available in the Northeast in the world." Speaking of this, Lao Liu looked out the window and whispered longingly, "When our business grows bigger, the Northeast will not be the three treasures of ginseng mink wool and wool grass, our products are the real treasures of the Northeast." ”
Du Nannan listened, and didn't know how to ask for a while. But he noticed that the sixth child used the word "our company", as if he was already a member of the company. He hit the sixth child with his arm and said, "Hey, you open your mouth to our company, our company, are you sure they want you?" Don't be happy too early, okay? ”
When Lao Liuyi heard this, he said with a smile: "Before I left, their personnel director told me that I felt that I was very suitable for the sales of this product, so I would go to the Northeast with them to inspect the product in the next few days, and when the training was over, the sales work of the entire northern city would be handed over to me to do, if I did it well, I could be promoted to supervisor in less than a year, hehe." The sixth man spoke to Du Nannan, as if he was already a supervisor.
Du Nannan made a few jokes with the sixth child, and then didn't ask any more. He looked at the rapidly retreating trees outside the car, and he was a little entangled for a moment. Did you really miss something? But with his interview experience, the company is truly unusual and feels weird. Is it a new type of enterprise with advanced thinking? The sixth won't be fooled, right? Ahem, I don't understand.
Du Nannan thought about it, as the car bumped all the way, he couldn't bear the fatigue of the day, and gradually fell asleep.
