Job experience: showing true self is finally hired by IBM

Adong, a native of Guangzhou, graduated from the computer major of South China Normal University and recalled his application experience. Adong felt that he was lucky. "The development of the cause needs opportunities, but when the opportunity comes, you can't grasp it and see if you have any hard work," he said. Sending a resume I used to work on a film company and a website for a while, but the work during this time was not very good. I was always looking for opportunities to change my current professional status. In February 2001, I successively sent resumes to several multinational companies including IBM and HP, but they all fell into the sea. Hey, let me call me and talk a few words. In May 2001, the third month after I sent my resume, when I had no hope, IBM suddenly called me to the interview. The first interview for this interview, I still remember very clearly, there were 6 people in the interview, competing for a position - channel management. The staff of the IBM Personnel Office is responsible for the exam. The examiner was one and the expression was serious. His first request was to let the six applicants introduce themselves to each other in a large room. My introduction is relatively simple, two or three minutes have been finished. The question afterwards is also relatively simple. Let us answer what we feel most proud of and what is the most frustrating thing. I still remember when I said, "I feel that I am most proud of having won the 4th place in the province's swimming competition. I feel that I am frustrated that I feel too young, have insufficient experience, and want to continue learning." I feel okay for my performance, although my answer is straightforward and simple, but very sincere. The next test is to do group games, each group of 3 people, playing 2 customers and a SALES, SALES is responsible for selling their products to customers. I am playing SALES. I still don't feel very satisfied with this role, because I can't think of a lot of modified language to describe my product, just keep giving demos to customers, explain and explain, and do very seriously. After two interviews a week, I received a call for the second interview, and three people were eliminated from the last interview. After the interview, I was surprised. Because the process was very simple, it was interviewed by the manager of the channel management department. I talked about the salary problem and asked a lot of questions about the actual operation. After one and a half months, I received a phone call, the third interview, interviewed by the Chinese district manager. The final interview was conducted in an easy conversation. The Chinese manager asked some of the more ambitious questions, such as how to look at the IT industry, what they would bring to IBM if they worked at IBM, and so on. For the more difficult problems, I am actually prepared. I have read a lot of IBM information before this interview. So I was accepted! To be honest, I was a little bit convinced at the moment I was notified. Three interviews, I feel that I am more ordinary, and there is no special performance, but IBM finally chose me. Later, I once chatted with the Chinese district manager. I asked why I chose me. He replied: "I feel that you are doing things step by step, people are honest and honest, and they are very humorous when talking." I feel my interview story. I want to tell everyone who is looking for a job. Everyone has a position that suits them. You don't have to look for new differences in the interview time. Try to express your true self and let the other person find that your personality is suitable for the job. That's it. In short, a normal heart, very hard work, you will succeed.
