Yesterday morning, I went to the office to check my email. One is called "Can you help me?" E-mail appeared. When opened, the text of the email is as follows:
"Hello, Sister Xing:
I'm a senior student. I've read your blog and magazine column for a long time. Now I have something to ask. Can you help me forward my resume to the human resources department of your company? I have admired your company for a long time, and I don't know which department to put my resume in. I hope I can get your help.
Please believe that I really like 4A Company and want to be a member of it.
-Lin Ziyu XX University Library "
I closed this email without opening my resume. On the one hand, I am not 4A at all, more because …
Why don't you want to help you?
On the way to job hunting or internship, it's really a quick and accessible way to have a reliable teacher and sister hand in her resume internally. Therefore, whenever there is an experience exchange meeting and various activities that the employed brothers and sisters have participated in, the students are scrambling to participate. Because this kind of activity can not only hear a lot of first-hand experience, but also get to know the contacts of your dream big company, plus the relationship between your classmates and even your classmates, you will never worry that your brothers and sisters will not help you. But have you ever found that every time you scramble to grab a business card from Zhang Zhengui and send an email when necessary, there is never any news? Or is the other party's reply just general, without any valuable suggestions and help? Why is this? Don't brothers and sisters want to help their brothers and sisters? Has the senior sister become secular and utilitarian, and she will help me only if she receives some benefits? Have you forgotten that you came from this time?
In fact, in the final analysis, the most important reason why brothers and sisters are unwilling to help is: Who are you? How can I trust you?
"Recommendation" is more than simply adjusting your resume. The bread here contains references, that is, the credibility of teachers and sisters in the company and industry. I want to tell the truth with an unforgettable little story:
When I was an intern in the first company, I once recruited three interns for another group of the company to assist a customer's offline activities. I went back to school to find three younger brothers, who kept begging me for help and wanted to come to my company for an internship. I only know them at one teacher's activity, but I don't know them very well at ordinary times. However, due to the business trip the next day, the time was too tight, so I casually said this and transferred their resumes to my colleagues in the company. Who knows? As soon as I got off the plane the next day, HR called me angrily and said, "Who did you recommend?" Late for the interview and fighting in the company! How did you find someone? Don't put all the miscellaneous people in your school into the company in the future! "I called back in surprise and asked my colleagues what was going on. It turns out that these three younger brothers know each other and are going to come to the company for an interview together in the morning. Because the interview time of the three people is different, and they think it is a group meeting, and the time should be the same, so both of them think they remember the wrong time, so they transferred the interview time to the middle time without informing the company. The next day, my colleagues in the company went to the office early but couldn't find anyone. Three people arrived, and the company quickly started one-on-one interviews. While waiting in the waiting area, the other two students didn't see anyone delivering water or fruit to the company, so they argued with the company HR that our company was inhuman and didn't know the problem of pouring water for the interviewer, so they quarreled very much.
What an incredible thing it is! I can't believe this is grandpa from three famous schools! At that time, I picked up the phone and scolded my uncle, but when I put the phone down, I began to understand that this was by no means something that could be solved by scolding them. The bigger problem is that my reprimand is completely ruined. Society is not a school, and the core of a mixed society is "credibility". What about my current credibility? Let his uncle be completely destroyed alive, as HR said, "Don't put all the miscellaneous people in your school into the company in the future!" And my colleague's signature was changed to "XX University students are so unreliable!" In the following year, I didn't recommend anyone to the company, no matter how many younger brothers and sisters begged, no matter the email notice of the company's lack of people at all times.
Maybe you should say, "I'm reliable, I won't quarrel with the company, I won't be so irresponsible." "I will definitely work hard and will not give up halfway!" But what can I trust you? You don't even know what will happen in the future and what you need to bear. The biggest problem for students is that they don't have enough ability to take social responsibility. Once there is a little responsibility dispute or criticism, they will try their best to escape or even disappear completely. This kind of thing is often unexpected, but it may happen at any time.
The problem is that you escaped. What you avoided was a small internship, and you avoided the younger brother and sister who recommended you at the beginning, but the younger brother and sister who recommended you at the beginning will bear all the work and responsibilities you left behind, and even bear the charges of your bad reputation for a long time.
So, dear students, please understand, if you and I have only met once, or just chatted online, why risk your reputation to recommend someone you don't know at all?
On the way to job hunting, how to make brothers and sisters trust you and help you?
Stella is one year younger than me and not in my department. I have never met her, but we met after a lecture. In the next two years, I not only recommended her to enter the desired internship position, but also tried my best to help her boyfriend's internship. How did she make me trust so much?
1 In the freshest opportunity, let my brothers and sisters know you in the most unique and simple way.
At that time, I was a senior, and I went to several good companies for internships. I gave a 15-minute speech at a campus internship sharing meeting, and was blocked by a packed crowd after the speech. When the crowd slowly dispersed and some friends and I walked to the school gate, Stella came after me and stopped me. At this time, there are not many students around, so she has enough time to introduce herself. She asked me for a business card. She doesn't have any questions to ask me and doesn't need my help. She just thanked me again and again and said that she hoped to see me again in the future. Stella, who asked me what kind of interns our company needed, was a little surprised to chase me to the school gate.
Follow up the email in time, respect each other and be polite first.
When Stella came back that night, she sent me an email according to the email address on my business card, politely introduced herself again, and asked if she could spend some time asking some basic questions about my industry. When I received this email, I went to work the next morning. Out of courtesy and affection for the night before, I replied to Fetion's chat after work at 6 pm. As a result, I went to an emergency meeting at 6 pm. So I rescheduled the time and decided to call at 7 o'clock. At 7 o'clock, she didn't call directly, but sent a text message asking me if the meeting was over. Can you call me? At this time, I really appreciated her respect for details and had a short conversation smoothly. I answered her questions, whether naive or ridiculous, and finally she asked me to look at her resume. Later, I learned that her mobile phone didn't have Fetion service, and it was specially used to chat with me. In the afternoon, she temporarily went to China Mobile to install Fetion service. Because she changed to telephone chat, she sat in a quiet corner of the library at half past six and waited for time. To be honest, I was deeply moved by these little details of Stella. She can put herself in a position where I am busy with work and have no time to change anything for her, so she changes herself just to adapt to me. I asked her for my resume because I really wanted to do something for this polite and respectful girl.
Strength is the guarantee, but optics is not enough.
In fact, Stella's background is very general, and there are not many bright spots on her resume, but because the child gave me such a good impression, I kindly pointed out some format errors on her resume and questions about her experience background. It didn't work. Stella went back and seriously changed her resume and sent it to me. Since then, she has worked hard to improve and enrich in all directions according to my guidance (in fact, I was just talking that day). During the year, we kept close communication. Even Wan Li came all the way to have dinner with me and kept telling me what she had done recently, what she was inspired by, what new opportunities she had, whether she had done well enough and so on. She keeps exporting her progress to me. A year later, I sent her resume to the HR department to start an interview. Shi Daila's strength was not good at first. Knowing that I couldn't recommend her, she didn't choose to cut off contact with me to find a new contact, but chose to continue to work hard this year and keep me in mind. In this year's communication, I have enough confidence to guarantee his efforts, character and personality, and finally recommend it to HR department.
We need to build a bridge after crossing the river.
After half a year's interview and various schedules, Stella finally entered my original company. Although I was still in that company at that time, we were not in the same department. I get emails from Stella from time to time. She told me all kinds of problems she encountered every day, her little difficulties, her little troubles, her incomprehension and her little gains. Although I am not her direct leader, I always seem to see her growth and progress. Occasionally, she would come to me quietly and talk to me, which made me feel that she still remembered me and was not the kind of girl who would kick down the ladder. Only later, Stella had to leave her job for family reasons. Her leader and I feel very sorry. I know that her leader is satisfied with her, which makes me feel more at ease. In the days after she left, I continued to help her find internships and freelancers that fit her schedule. In the days after that, she often helped me think and search for information. Sometimes she even stays up late to help me find something.
I am deeply grateful to Stella for her respect and courtesy, and her trust in me all the way has given me a new heart willing to share and help others. Her acquaintance with me and the two years we spent together also taught me a lot. Maybe she won't work in a top multinational company that everyone is familiar with in the future, but I believe she will win a lot of selfless help in her life, because she is humble, respectful, hardworking and grateful, which are the basis for a person to enter the society and achieve his career, and also the place where each of us should work together! ;
