Little girl brave the big French company

Narrator: Miss L's National Day holiday, the peak period of job hunting for the new graduates is on schedule. On the afternoon of September 24th, the beautiful and dignified Miss L came to the editorial office to tell the interview experience. Last year, the young girl who graduated from the college of junior high school, with courage and self-confidence, was even hired by the French Auchan company, but in the end she chose to give up and sign a contract with a state-owned enterprise. [Recruitment] I was not confident enough to apply for me. He was a graduate of Shanghai International Studies University in 2003. On the morning of December 14, 2002, I came to the Saobao Luguang Convention and Exhibition Center. It has already been crowded with people, and the city's and foreign doctoral, master's, undergraduate and junior college students competed in the same field. Before the recruitment booth was filled with people, the resumes were piled up into hills. Before the big company booth, there were 3 floors and 3 floors. The outer people could only throw in their resumes and throw them on the staff's head and body. I crowded with the crowd and never sent my resume. After a slight decrease in the number of people at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I came to the booth of the sales team manager of the world's top 500 French company Auchan, which has been observed several times. At this time, many people are still posting resumes. All the boys in suits and suits, there are masters and famous undergraduate students, and some resumes are accepted and some are returned. At that time, I was not confident enough. I was afraid that my resume would not be delivered, so I wrote down the contact information and address. [Job Letter] After meticulously making an opportunity to go home, I collected Auchan data extensively, and went to the chain store for on-the-spot investigation. I saw the hypermarket coordinator wearing skates in and out, working very efficiently, and the environment layout was very human. In the cover letter, I wrote in the details and real feelings I observed. The cover letter was full and passionate. I also had a creative topic: “Aushang: Gathering European Fashion” and then attached a resume in both Chinese and English and a recent big photo, and I was looking forward to the French Auchan China headquarters. A week later, Auchan HR came to the phone and asked if I would like to apply for a position as a staff assistant. My character is lively and active, I don’t like the lack of understanding of personnel work, but I still like it. [One side] said that the interview was not scheduled to pass at 10 am on January 1st, 2003. I went out at 8 o'clock in the morning and went to the Auchan chain store in Yangpu District half an hour later. I will observe it first, then go to the HR office 20 minutes in advance and fill in the form with 15 minutes. There are 2 interviewers, one is an HR manager and the other is an assistant. At that time, the newspapers reported that the salary of the fresh graduates dropped sharply. I did not fill in the expected salary. The HR manager said with a smile: "Be bold, report a specific number." I had to reluctantly say: "Write 1200 yuan." HR manager and assistant took turns asking questions, most of the questions are easier, such as: "Your What is the biggest advantage?" "What are the disadvantages?" and so on. When answering the questions, I try to show my own strengths, and always look at the interviewer's eyes, the sound is loud, the words are clear, the Mandarin is standard and fluent, and the manners of speech and expression appear to be generous and polite. The HR manager sometimes smiled and nodded, and was obviously satisfied with my performance. But then I made a mistake. The HR manager asked: "Personnel work needs to do a lot of repetitive work. You seem to be more lively. What do you know about doing a good job in assistant work?" I replied: "I think that personnel work must be patient and calm down. Although I I think my character is more suitable for extroverted work.” HR manager said a bit strangely: “Girls generally like to work quietly, you are a bit special!” I feel good after the interview. A few days later I received a letter from Auchan to inform me that the interview did not pass, but I will recommend it to me if I have a suitable position in the future. I understand: I shouldn't say that I am more suitable for export-oriented work. The HR manager may mistakenly think that I don't want to be a personnel assistant. [Two sides] If I have been obeying the 4th level and getting a two-way notice, it has been more than a month later. The job position that I applied for this time is the sales manager assistant. At that time, I had an internship at the state-owned enterprise J company. I didn't pay attention to it as much as I did, only 10 minutes in advance. When the HR manager met, he said, "You don't seem to have the spirit of the last time!" It shows that the last interview did leave a deep impression on her. I explained: "It may be a relatively tight relationship." She said profoundly: "We are not so tired at work here." ☆ Psychological test has done more than 10 psychological test questions, and HR manager on the spot. One of the questions is to assume that you are at home, and when you come home, you will find that a brand of red wine is gone. What do you do? There are three choices. The first is to go to a nearby convenience store to buy other brands of red wine. The second is to find a specialty store to buy the same brand of red wine at a high price. The third is to go to the big store to buy an identical brand of red wine for an hour. I chose the second method. The HR manager said: "This question is actually a test. If the hypermarket is short of some kind of goods, what do you do? The second method is equivalent to buying in the same industry. The disadvantage is that the cost is too High, indicating that you have a problem with successful control.” ☆The cashier manager of the cashier manager asked me: “What if the customer and the cashier have conflicts?” I replied: “I will apologize to the customer and give him an improved service quality. Commitment." He immediately pointed out: "But you have not asked who is right or who is wrong!" I argued: "We are a service industry, customers are always right." He also asked some practical work questions, I Without work experience, it can only be discussed in general. But it was finally passed. ☆The sales manager went into the sales manager's room. I saw that there were several large paper groups on the ground. I wonder if it would test me. I picked up the paper balls and threw them into the waste paper basket. The sales manager showed approval. His questions are all about Auchan: "How do you think Auchan should compete with Lotus and RT-Mart?" I did some Auchan's newspaper clippings. I have a certain understanding of this company and answered: "Aushang's characteristic is to serve humanity. The key to the comfortable environment and the shopping environment is to develop the advantages and build a special area...” The sales manager slammed the form on the form—I did the best in this round of interviews. ☆ French director Guan noon 11 o'clock, I accept the English interview of the French director. As soon as I sat down, he said "Introduce yourself!" and then looked down at my resume. I tried to think about what I wrote on my resume. Because I was afraid of conflicting with my resume, self-introduction was a bit like translating my resume, and it was too tight. English was not very fluent. After 2 minutes, the Frenchman read the resume and pointed to “expecting a monthly salary of 1,200 yuan”. “Why you fillt his figure?” I explained that it refers to the salary standards of the fresh graduates in the newspaper, and then combines their own situation. Suddenly thought: Is the salary requirement high? So straightforwardly asked: "Doyouthinkit'stoohigh?" The Frenchman said with a smile: "No! No!" He asked a lot of practical work questions, my answer seems to be not ideal, his face is serious, and my answer is still All recorded. After the interview, he asked me to go home and wait for the notice. The phone rang on the way home. The HR manager said, "Why don't you say hello and leave? Haven't talked about salary with you yet." I said: "The French director asked me to go home and wait for the notice." She said: "That's good, wait for you next time. Talk." What was not expected was that SARS was coming. I have no news about Auchan for a few months, I thought I had no hope. At the beginning of July, the SARS epidemic was brought under control. Just a few days before J Company prepared to sign with me, Auchan’s three-way notice came. [Three sides] Easy to pass the HR manager to determine the salary: "The monthly salary of the trial period is 2,000 yuan." It is really overjoyed: the expected value of 1200 yuan is too low! The last level is guarded by the store manager of the most responsible chain store. He talked about his own experience: "After the former foreign store manager left, I competed with four foreign colleagues for this position. I thought of a way to surpass them in the shortest time. If so, what would you do?" I said: "You can find a solution based on their shortcomings..." He said: "I am the opposite of you. I see their strengths and learn their strengths in the shortest possible time!" He asked some offices. The question of interpersonal relationship, I answered the internship situation of J company, he expressed satisfaction. A few days later I received the offer from Auchan. However, for various reasons, I gave up Auchan and signed a contract with State Enterprise J. This summer, I left J company to join the job search army, recalling that there was a regret in the choice of the original... [Experience] The big festival decided success or failure! They all say that "details determine success or failure", but I think it should be a big section - the key details determine the success or failure. During the interview, I did not perform well on many general details, but I still got the Offer. It is obvious that not all details can determine success or failure. Other experiences include: 1. Research on the company, including field surveys; cover letter and resume personalization. 2. The first interview should be at least 15 minutes in advance in order to fill out the registration form; look at the interviewer's eyes, be full of energy and sound. 3. The statement is clear, avoiding the words that are easy for the interviewer to misunderstand; the salary expectation value can be slightly higher than the psychological price.
