Chapter 4 Interview Questions

When there were still more than ten minutes before two o'clock, Chen Qi came to the blueprint advertisement as promised.

Explaining his intention to the front desk, he was taken to a rest area by the other party and waited.

After waiting in the lounge area for about half an hour, the receptionist came over and led him to the conference room for an interview.

Before leaving, Chen Qi looked back and found that he seemed to be the only one who came to the interview today, and he became more and more sure that he was able to come to the interview so soon because of his academic qualifications.

Entering the conference room, he saw that two men and a woman were already sitting across from a long conference table. The man is in his forties, and the woman looks to be in her thirties.

Chen Qi, who has been in the society for two years, will not have stage fright, and under the scrutiny of the other three, he sat down opposite them generously and handed over the information that had already been prepared.

"Hello, I am here to interview Chen Qi of your company's 'creative planning', this is my resume and information. ”

Yesterday, he applied for the position of 'creative planner' because he felt that this job did not involve too much professionalism, and it was enough to have a rich imagination.

In other words, he felt that with his academic qualifications, he could be 90% sure of winning the job.

The bespectacled man sitting in the middle took his information, looked at it briefly, and asked, "Why did you choose a job that didn't match your major?"

"I just want to challenge myself. ”

"Can you tell us about your understanding of advertising creative?"

"In my mind, ad creative is all about being able to come up with copy that stands out or stands out. ”

"Do you think you're up to the job?"

"With my knowledge, I think I can. ”

"This is a ceramic cup, if you were to think of an advertising idea, what would be your plan?" The woman in red, who had been reading his resume, pushed a ceramic cup in front of her into the middle of the table.

Chen Qi frowned slightly, then shook his head

"What do you mean?" the woman in red looked at him puzzled.

"Creativity requires inspiration and mood, and in such a short period of time, I don't think I can think of an idea that can make people shine. Of course, I can think of any one, but this kind of perfunctory answer will reduce your impression of me, so I refuse to answer this question. ”

The woman in red was visibly stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect to receive such an answer.

Over the years, she has also interviewed many college graduates who have just graduated, and of course she has seen the bold, but it is the first time she has met her who directly refused to answer the interview questions.

Looking at the other party's calm and calm appearance, she almost wondered if he was a recent college graduate.

It doesn't feel like it!

Listening to Chen Qi's answer, the man with glasses sitting in the middle nodded thoughtfully, and he didn't know what he meant.

Next, he asked some questions about the middle distance, and Chen Qi answered fluently, that is, it was not too brilliant, but it was not ambiguous.

Ten minutes later, the man with glasses looked at the pot-bellied man beside him who had not spoken: "I'm done asking, do you have anything to ask?"

"Huh?" The big-bellied man who seemed to have been out of the situation came back to his senses, and after thinking about it, he said: "Then I'll just ask a random one, what is 1+1?"

"???" Chen Qi looked stunned.

What kind of problem is this? Brain teasers? Is there any direct connection between this interview?

Not only him, but even the other two people who came to the interview together also looked at the big-bellied man with some confusion, but they didn't show any expression on their faces, and they looked back at Chen Qi one after another.

Chen Qi's face was contemplative.

What is 1+1?

Elementary school students know that it is equal to 2!

However, it is obviously not so simple for him to ask such a question at such a time and on such an occasion.

“2。 After thinking for more than ten seconds, Chen Qi gave his own answer.

Although he could guess that the other party's answer was not ninety percent of the time, he was reluctant to waste too many brain cells on such a boring question.

The pot-bellied man nodded slightly, and did not say whether this answer was wrong or right, but said: "The position you applied for is advertising creativity, have you ever thought that you shouldn't just analyze a problem from the surface?"

"Because I was interviewing for creative advertising, my answer was 2. Chen Qi replied unhurriedly: "I have always thought that creativity should be the simpler and easier to understand, the more clever it is, and you can see at a glance what your advertisement is saying in line with the public's aesthetics. ”

The pot-bellied man digested for a few seconds and said, "This question is the interview question we just introduced for this year's interview, and so far, you are the first person to answer equal to 2." ”

"So...... Is this the correct answer?" Chen asked.

The pot-bellied man shook his head: "Seriously, there is no standard answer to this question. As long as your explanation can reasonably support your answer, it is all correct, but ......" paused, he looked at Chen Qi and said, "I am quite satisfied with your explanation." ”

"Thank you. Chen Qi smiled.

The pot-bellied man gestured to the man with glasses, indicating that there was nothing wrong with him.

The man with glasses looked at Chen Qi and asked, "I'm Xu Bunian, the general manager of Blueprint, are you really interested in joining us?"

Chen Qi's heart skipped a slight beat, and his heart said that it wouldn't be so exaggerated, right?

Thinking so in his heart, he said very calmly on his face: "This job...... I want to try. ”

"Okay, then let's talk about treatment. ”

I don't know if it's because of his academic qualifications, but the blueprint also gave Chen Qi great care in terms of treatment. According to Chen Qi's own estimates, the basic salary they give is at least 50% more than that of other fresh graduates, and his probationary period is only one month.

This made Chen Qi a little embarrassed, but it was only embarrassing......

After negotiating everything, Chen Qi left the blueprint.

Behind him, Xu Bunian saw him leave, and then walked to a corner where no one was there and dialed a number.

"Chairman, Chen Qi's affairs have been done, and he will come over tomorrow to go through the entry procedures. ”

"How's he doing?" said a deep voice on the other end of the line.

"It looks good, it doesn't seem to be affected too much. ”

"Did you know why he suddenly changed jobs?"

Xu Bunian said: "In his own words, he just wants to challenge himself. ”

The other end of the phone was silent for two seconds, then sighed slightly and said, "Then let him be, you first observe in the dark to see how his comprehensive ability is, and then find a time to write an evaluation report to me." But you have to be careful not to let him notice, as far as I know, he has a lot of self-esteem, and if he knows that we are going to help him in the back, he will quit and leave. ”

"Okay, I understand. After hanging up the phone, Xu Bunian's face showed a somewhat puzzled expression.

Since the chairman has a good relationship with his parents, why not just have a showdown with him and give him a better job?

Will he refuse?

Not really, right?

After a while, Xu Bunian shook his head with a smile and didn't think about it anymore.

Today's young people are really getting more and more incomprehensible.

However, he was a little more curious about Chen Qi.
