Chapter 45: Interviews

For a period of time after sending Xia Xiaoxue away, I spent almost all of my time in exams. At this time, I realized that transferring to Lujiang was actually beneficial to me, leaving Manager Zheng's sight, I could do what I wanted to do unscrupulously, and I had more leisure time. On the contrary, Manager Zheng's every move was secretly coveted by me. Xiao Liu is a natural spy, and he got me a lot of negative information about Manager Zheng, and even found out the name of his mistress.

I didn't collect this information to really bring him down, but someone had a bad heart toward me, and I still have to take precautions.

Sometimes I think I'm funny, I'm obviously a low-level employee, but I want to shake the tree and fight with my superiors, funny like a clown. But does what I'm doing really make sense? What can this hard work of raking dates bring me? Is it really worth it?

Soon it was the day of the big exam, and the first few rounds of written exams made me a little arrogant, Luo Qian was afraid that I would take it lightly at this critical moment, so I specially checked the information of the headquarters, but the results were not optimistic.

There is a special professional audit department in the Guangzhou headquarters, and my academic qualifications do not play a role here, and the direction of the preparation for the exam was wrong from the beginning.

But seeing that I had come to this point, I had no choice, so I went to Guangzhou head-on. A group of more than a dozen people, all of whom are the leaders of the younger generation who are unwilling to sink, to be honest, looking at these competitors, although there is a lot of pressure, there is still some sense of achievement. At least what I'm doing now is a choice that many people have questioned and avoided from the beginning. If I hadn't taken this step forward, I would have regrets for the rest of my life. As my eldest brother said, a chef in a big hotel is never as profitable as a kebab seller.

The examination in Guangzhou lasted for three days, and the written test in the first two days went smoothly, but the third day was arraignment, and there would be a personal interview with the big leaders of the headquarters. As a salesperson, I am naturally not afraid of interviews, but my professional knowledge is limited, and I can't make up for it by reading a few books the day after tomorrow.

Passing the written exam safely and harmlessly is already very enviable, and there is a mourning in the hotel. I was a little glad that I glanced at the work card of the marketing director of so-and-so written on my chest, and I was a little inexplicably weak and afraid.

Lying on the bed in the hotel, I began to feel anxious and scared, and at this time, Xia Xiaoxue sent me a WeChat message and asked me how the exam went. After I reported my peace, I told her about my worries and fears. Xia Xiaoxue is a psychology graduate, and she gave me some advice to give it a try.

In a grand commercial building, in front of a row of imposing desks, I sat on a low bench with nothing but the badge on my chest. The sense of coercion projected from all directions can simply make people's chests burst.

"Job number 0115 from Hefei City, marketing supervisor, Lu Xia!" A woman in her forties with gold-rimmed glasses picked up my resume and read.

I stood up and bowed to the front, the left, and the right. At this time, her heart was beating very strongly, but Xia Xiaoxue seemed to have expected such a scene in advance. Say that this kind of docking interview must have a good psychological quality, during the interview process, do not deliberately avoid the eyes because of nervousness, especially when the interviewer asks, do not look around, do not divert your gaze, just stare at the person who asked you, when the conversation with him is over, when to give up......

"Mr. Lu, first of all, congratulations on passing the written exam, we also looked at your relevant resume, you are very good, as a young man who has passed the promotion annual examination, your future is ...... limitlessly, but the company has clear rules and regulations and industry regulations for selecting talents, we noticed that you are a graduate student of Agricultural University, and financial management seems to be ......" Phnom Rim glasses said here and spread his hands before he said: "It seems that there is no connection!" I would like to know what your original intention was in the industry, and what gave you the conviction to stay in the company, from the lowest salesperson to the department head, and where you are today? ”

In fact, there is nothing to answer this question, I can't find a job after graduation, and I am in a hurry to go to the doctor! There are a lot of people like me in the company, and their alma maters and majors are all varied, and they have everything to study. When it comes to financial management and marketing, I didn't even know what it was when I filled out the application.

Thinking of Xia Xiaoxue's suggestion, I stared at the gold-rimmed glasses, and beautified the company's influence with righteous words on the high platform. He also deliberately imagined the company's prospects, shifted the center of gravity, and alluded to his own advantages by avoiding the inferior and the superior.

The gold-rimmed glasses ballpoint pen was pressed against her chin to listen attentively, although I don't know if she was really listening, but there was no disgust in her eyes, and there was a little comfort in her heart.

After I finished speaking, I bowed my head and wrote, and then turned to talk to my colleagues next to me. I couldn't hear well, I didn't know what they were talking about, the two of them were talking and laughing, and the gold-rimmed glasses pushed the resume to a colleague, and I picked up the teacup and sipped the tea.

The person who took the resume was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, not much older than I should be. Although this person is not old, his face is lonely and cold, and he is the kind that has a deterrent effect in itself.

The thick-eyebrow man raised his hand and put it on his chin, glanced at his resume and then looked at him and asked, "Director Lu, through this promotion, what position do you desire the most?" The thick-eyebrow man said with a smile that was not very sincere, and spread his hands to me: "Be bold, don't be nervous, what position do you think you can take?" ”

"I want to be the general manager, can you give it?" I asked in my heart. But I know that to say this is to show contempt for the court, and there is no need to continue the conversation that follows.

It's a tricky question, but how do you answer it without being ambitious and still looking positive?

"I'm sorry, I don't have a clear job idea"

As soon as I spoke, I saw that the eyes of the adults darkened, and I saw the shame of disappointment, ridicule, and even being fooled. But before the thick-eyebrow man could speak, I added: "But I have the confidence and courage to meet the position that is more suitable for me." And have enough faith to do the best and better! ……”

After saying this, I broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that I must not do this next time, what if the adults only heard half of it and pulled it out and beheaded it? There is only one small life, so let's take it easy!

The ambition in my words was clear, and several people looked at each other, as if there was no big problem. In fact, they are not afraid of ambitious people, but they will definitely be disgusted when they are sharp, and it will be difficult to control them in the future; If you are not ambitious and do not seem to be motivated, you will definitely occupy a position and do nothing after taking office.

Later, they pushed my resume around, asked some similar questions, and the arraignment interview was over.

Returning to Feishi with a mortal mentality, the next thing is to wait for the transfer book, I don't have any excessive extravagant expectations, give a serious supervisor, even if it is smoke on the ancestral grave. So I take it very lightly, no matter how bad it is, it won't be harder than running the construction site all day and being a dust-absorbing overseer, right?

Luo Qian and Zhou Haoran heard that I had passed the main exam and came to congratulate me, but they actually wanted me to invite them to dinner.

is still the dusty food stall, or the beer and peanuts, or the three low-level employees who have no discipline, and they are still talking about national events and national righteousness ....... The difference is that the nights are much colder than before.

Luo Qian looked at me appreciatively and said, "The kid is not simple! I really did it for you. It's so fast, it is estimated that Lao Zheng has not reacted yet. ”

"Haven't written yet? It's too early to say! I said a few polite words and clinked glasses with them.

Zhou Haoran picked his cheeks and thought about it and said: "It's not necessarily a good thing to be really promoted, I have become Lao Zheng's direct subordinate, and Lu Xia likes to call for it, his political views are not unified, and he suffers later." ”

Luo Qian waved her hand and said, "Looking ahead and looking back, are you still alive?" Besides, the head office directly ordered the letter, and Lao Zheng didn't want to move him anymore, but I was afraid that it wouldn't be so easy."

"That's what I said, but after all, it's not easy to do things under other people's noses, and it's not easy to arrange some mistakes for you?"

In fact, Zhou Haoran is not alarmist, Lao Zheng completely did it. However, I haven't even received the transfer paperwork yet, so there's no need to worry about it.

"Oops! When I went to Lujiang, didn't you worry about this, worry about that? But I'm a hard person, and I don't die so easily, so don't worry. ”

"It's always good to plan ahead and plan more!" Luo Qian said coquettishly, and soon took a breath and said, "If you can really bring down Lao Zheng, it will be great." ”

"How is that possible? Even if I am in office, I will be a department manager at most, maybe I will still be a deputy! Knock down the top hand? No fun! I shook my head.

"You can't do it, someone can do it." Luo Qian seemed to think of something, bowed her head and said to us, "I heard that Wu Laogou is coming back." ”

I didn't expect this, it's been two months since Yucheng came back, and he definitely won't be able to stay.

Luo Qian peeled a peanut and threw it into her mouth, chewed and said, "Look at it!" Lao Zheng forced Wu Laogou to Shandong, how could Lao Gou give up? Taking advantage of this chaos, isn't it an opportunity to bite back! ”

Zhou Haoran and I suddenly understood

, busy toasting Luo Qian: "Listening to my sister's words is better than reading a book for ten years!" ”

The stars are bright and the moon is bright, the lights are dim, there is no wind, and the smoke and dust of the food stalls are soaring, drifting into the deepest part of the autumn night.
