Recruitment for Reading Library in 2018 will begin after New Year’s Day. After the recruitment notice was released, we received a total of nearly 400 resumes within the agreed time. We reviewed them one by one, considered them repeatedly, and interviewed forty of them. Some of them were interviewed again. In the end, approximately ten people will join the reading team. The eldest among them was born in 1964, and the youngest was born in 1995. It feels like two generations.
This recruitment has come to an end and the participants have gradually dispersed, but my mood cannot calm down for a long time.
I would like to share with you some of my thoughts on the unsuccessful students.
The failure of some people is obvious: they put out cookie-cutter resumes without success; they don’t know what they want to do, nor what the company they are applying for is doing; there is a big gap between the position they are applying for and the persuasiveness they have shown.
Some people's failure to be selected is full of regrets: they are also very capable, but among the strongest there are strong ones; some are excellent, but we already have suitable candidates for the positions; and some students have already found other places when we extended an olive branch to them.
In addition, I also have some feelings, which may not be the same for Duduku recruitment, so I put them below, hoping to stimulate some students who have experienced job hunting.
1. During interviews, I always like to ask: Putting aside practical feasibility, if you could choose freely, what would you most like to do? Quite a number of students will be asked this question and feel at a loss. In their view, it is good to have a job, so why should they be picky and picky? ——That’s really not the case.
The most important thing is not that we choose you, but what choice you make. After a person joins the job, if he is not competent, it is a waste of opportunity cost for the company, and it is also a waste of time cost for the individual, and even the most precious years of his life. I sincerely hope that those students who apply for the job will work for themselves and be responsible for themselves.
2, Some students expressed their strong love for a job. This love is even long-lasting and happened a long time ago. Regrettably, in this long relationship, I only saw expressions of love, but no preparations or efforts for this love.
Some people have clear goals, but they fail to manage themselves well, plan a path for self-realization, and accumulate necessary knowledge reserves and professional training day by day.
In today's world, a person still has a lot of time and space at his disposal. Have you done anything to achieve your ideal goals, other than expressing your feelings?
3, Some students look indifferent even when they are applying for jobs. I think there is really no need to do this kind of reserved show.
Being nonchalant, careless, and dispensable may be considered free and aloof by the person concerned. In my opinion, it is a sign of lack of confidence.
Some people are not serious because they dare not be serious. They are afraid that their seriousness will become a joke, so they act like they disdain being serious - don't blame me for not doing it well, because I didn't want to do it well in the first place. The problem is that he may know that he has little ability to do a good job, so he puts on an attitude of not wanting to do a good job.
Many people cannot afford to take it seriously.
4, Critical thinking is a very rare quality, we look forward to it very much and value it very much.
Unfortunately, some students can only criticize but not build. Negating things is clear and logical, and everything is out of the question. Well, this is wrong, that is bad, you shouldn’t do this, you can’t do that, the question is, what can you do?
We didn't see that.
5, For a long time, some students have relied on a little false sense of superiority to support themselves, showing resistance to a certain way of life and social roles. This kind of resistance is very consistent with moral imagination and can also satisfy the self-dignity needs.
The question is, when you ignore others, do they become more dismissive of you?
A person can clearly explain what he has, but he cannot fully list what he does not have. Therefore, always emphasizing your rejection of something may just show that you care about this kind of thing. I hope you don't lie to yourself.
6, I hope we can have this basic consensus: growth, survival, tempering, tempering, life is always a difficult and extraordinary road.
