Pepsi-Cola focuses on potential and quality

PepsiCo is one of the world's most successful consumer goods companies with 137,000 employees in more than 200 countries and territories, and ranks among the top five food and beverage companies in the world with annual revenues of $27 billion. Ranked 64th in Fortune magazine's US Top 500 in 2003. Mr. Mai Junyu, head of Guangzhou Pepsi recruitment work, talked about Pepsi's talent concept: "A good team, the player skills should be excellent, the combination should be the best. The company is the same, the masters gathered, not necessarily the best-performing company." Compared with pure education, PepsiCo pays more attention to the potential and quality of employees, teamwork and development. “What we need is a comprehensive quality of employees. Pepsi emphasizes that employees should have three abilities: teamwork, execution and innovation.” Mai Junyu, head of Guangzhou Pepsi recruitment, said, “Foreign language is only for us to assess applicants. One of the indicators can be said to be a personal advantage. Pepsi has many advanced systems and tools, these are all in English, and employees with good English skills will get more development opportunities. In fact, we pay more attention to the overall quality of employees and Actual work ability, an excellent Pepsi staff should have the plasticity of development on the basis of existing capabilities.” It is reported that Pepsi has established a unique target selection system based on the principle of fairness and objectivity. It usually takes 3 to 4 interviews to enter Pepsi. Before the interview, the company sets a uniform standard for the ideal candidate according to the ability of the position. In the interview process, the behavioral science method is used to examine the candidate's abilities and potential. Finally, a consensus was formed internally. This system operates to ensure fairness for each candidate. Tips for Pepsi to recruit graduates: 1. Do a good job of self-analysis. Mai Junyu said that job seekers must first carefully analyze themselves before looking for a job, consciously choose a job that suits their abilities and preferences, and do not blindly vote for their resumes. “Actually, the success rate of this approach is very low. Even if you find a job, it is easy to leave the job quickly because of your ability or interest.” Second, don’t overpack. “Do not pack yourself during the interview. Please reflect your true side to the interviewer, and prepare before the interview to understand the job content and requirements of your position, company status, etc.” Change the job. “We often see that many young people frequently change jobs in the first few years of work, and even proudly tell others that they have successfully changed jobs.” I think the old company has nothing to learn. The boss only asked me to do some simple work, and I used it too much. 'This job is too hard'... In fact, these people often have poor development skills because they have not learned solid work skills. These people also have good prospects for development. It will make people feel immature and unstable, it is difficult to get the favor of employers, and even lose a lot of interview opportunities.” Campus Recruitment Information Recruitment Plan: About 10 freshmen, mainly in sales.
