Some people hate this sense of snooping, so they keep silent or fight back angrily. Some people are asked too many times and answered thoroughly. It is everyone's personal freedom to choose what way to face this question, but I believe that most of the friends who ask and answer this question want to fight for a job.
If your family is average, your school is average, you don't have absolute appearance advantage, and your business ability is not superior enough for enterprises to compete with you, then my experience is probably useful to you. Friends who just want to enter the system or foreign companies can close the interface.
For me, who graduated for more than two years and actually worked for less than one year, I was asked about the vacancy period more often than my dad's Mediterranean hair. Are bitter tears. Every time I lose my job, it's not because I don't work hard enough. From the awkward silence at the beginning to answering questions related to the gap freely now, I also need some time to do psychological construction before applying for a job.
As an undergraduate who graduated from a private enterprise in the 20th century, I know better than anyone that individuals can't compete with the trend of the times. Dayu still needs a lot of helpers to control water, not to mention you and me. At present, hr is generally concerned about the vacancy behavior of candidates, which is also the inevitable result of the bad economic situation and the oversupply of the recruitment market. Hrs need to use other criteria besides jd to further screen talents, and the empty window period is only one of them.
Whatever caused your absence, what you need to do now is to stop crying and blaming yourself. In the face of the fact that you have a vacancy period, you should choose an answer that is most suitable for your personal situation to cope with hr screening. At the same time, you should judge whether this company is worth going according to hr's reaction, strive for the opportunity to earn (Huo) work (summer) capital (music), and don't let the vacancy period continue to grow.
Answer 1: The epidemic situation affected the work, resulting in an empty window period. For friends who have no work experience, hr can easily doubt whether you are taking the postgraduate entrance examination or taking the public examination after graduation, while most candidates in private enterprises in China are directly worried about your re-examination. If you say that you didn't do anything during the gap period, you will be accused of lying or unclear career planning, and you have no long-term development ideas for this position, and the uncertainty will be too great.
The best solution is to give answers such as "the company that signed the three parties broke the contract before graduation", "I was trapped in school because of the epidemic and lost the opportunity to recruit in autumn", "The online recruitment company asked for an offline internship, but it could not guarantee the offline internship and lost the offer" and "The three parties lost the offer because of the epidemic". But if you don't know enough about a company, it is not recommended to name the specific company.
For people with work experience, the causes of the epidemic are simpler, such as "the company's capital chain is broken due to the financing difficulties of the epidemic", "economic layoffs during the epidemic" or "the projects affected by the epidemic are suspended and the company's business direction is adjusted"
Answer 2: Family factors caused China people to be shy about other people's family affairs during the empty window period. After explaining family reasons, polite hr generally doesn't ask questions. The key is that you should express or imply that your family affairs have been handled by hr at present and will no longer affect your work. You can work wholeheartedly for your boss.
The specific situation is not completely unclear. According to your personal experience, for example, if a relative at home has an operation, what you need to do is to reassure the other person that your family will not be hospitalized in the near future, or that your family has a more suitable nursing candidate.
Answer 3: It is normal for an individual to recover from illness due to physical reasons. Please note that this disease cannot be highly contagious, including COVID-19 (with the possibility of recurrence), diseases that seriously affect the work content, or diseases exposed by the company's physical examination in minutes.
If I have to give you an example, you can cut hemorrhoids yourself ... hemorrhoids are really an irrelevant problem that affects sedentary life. It's private enough and common. If hr asks about hemorrhoids, I suggest you run away, either this hr is abnormal or this company is abnormal.
If hr can't understand the employees who are resting due to illness, then even if you work hard, you will have to live a miserable life of picking cotton in the plantation before the Civil War.
Answer 4: Prepare a portfolio/learn job-related skills. For some jobs with high technical barriers, it is necessary to study properly. Who doesn't love a candidate who clearly knows the gap between himself and the ideal job requirements and makes efforts for it?
Friends who use this type of reason are obviously unable to open their eyes and tell lies. You must prove that your ability is in line with your time. Give you a hint: if you really don't have time to prepare your portfolio, it is ok to integrate similar post-test questions that you have done before.
Answer 5: In most cases, I don't advise you to say that you passed the system. If you are admitted, you will definitely not go to a private enterprise to apply for a job. If you fail, you will be questioned by hr for your incompetence or perseverance.
Our history advocates winning or losing, and the bosses' concern for losers is spiritual sympathy at most. Hr is also a migrant worker, and some interviews are even recorded. If hr recruits a bunch of "losers" instead of "talents", what will the boss think of hr?
However, one kind of enterprise is very special, that is, company B, which is connected with the units within the system. They need to know the policies of the units within the system very well, and they need employees with a red heart. If you are looking for a job in this kind of company, you might as well talk about the experience of taking the exam within the system, but don't show "I'll take it again" This kind of Party B is still under great work pressure, and does not need an employee with two jobs.
Some friends may question whether this prepared answer is too artificial. Wouldn't it be better to be honest? Open, what a beautiful word. Many friends' frankness has brought in the notice of talent pool storage, and the thank-you letter is still unreadable. Moderate honesty is honesty, and excessive honesty is stupidity.
What we ordinary people need is a job to solve the expenses of food, clothing, housing and transportation, not to be a saint with eternal light. Our beautification of our empty window period is watered, and the pies painted by our company are not dehydrated. Everyone relies on this beautification to safeguard each other's dignity, which is a tacit understanding.
If your physiological conditions don't allow you to tell any lies or half-truths, you will stutter, blush, look weird, look erratic, sweat and cringe, and no matter how you practice, you can't keep yourself in a natural state when you speak, so telling the truth is better than beautifying the empty window. In this extreme case, insisting on beautification will only leave a negative impression of "poor acting" for HR.
If your opening-up can really win the recognition of hr, the boss's eyes and get a good job instead of being a graveyard keeper in the middle of the night, you can sneer at my answer, and I am sincerely happy for your good luck.
Perhaps we all question the rationality of the existence of the gap period, and it is human nature to yearn for a more humane and inclusive workplace environment, but after all, we have no ability to change the times alone.
I hope this answer can help every ordinary migrant worker who is struggling in life, and I hope that people in private enterprises will not need these experiences when they apply for jobs one day in the future.
