Career guidance

Nowadays, it is not easy for talents to find a good enterprise suitable for their own development or an enterprise to find a talent who can create benefits for themselves. So more and more people are looking for jobs and recruiting online. Online job seekers are not all professional and technical personnel. In fact, job seekers have various identities, such as management, sales, marketing, finance and accounting. Although more and more people apply for jobs online, there are still quite a few people who make mistakes to varying degrees in the process of applying for jobs online:

1. Feel free to send resumes everywhere;

2. It is simple to attach your resume to the attachment, but due to the prevalence of computer viruses, the last thing bosses want to open is the email attachment. Instead, they want you to paste your resume directly at the back of the letter or the application form.

3. Invite the boss to visit the imperfect private website;

4. Respond to lengthy emails;

5. Irritate netizens;

6. Lost on the Internet. Before applying for a job, we should determine specific goals, such as job position, work place, salary, etc., and then rank qualified companies accordingly;

7. Put all the eggs in one basket on the Internet;

8. Apply for several positions in a company at the same time. Be careful not to apply for several positions in the same company at the same site. Generally speaking, the boss will also look at the application materials for each job opening. The more you focus on a position, the more serious you feel about the company. Don't forget to apply only for jobs that you are really interested in.

9. List references on your resume at will;

10. Send a lot of resumes. Online recruiters complain that they often receive a large number of resumes from unqualified candidates.

How to make good use of video resume

The employer reminds that this method pays attention to pertinence in job hunting, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

Some recent college graduates are already preparing for job hunting, and now a brand-new resume-video resume has entered their field of vision. This resume is burned on CD-ROM and introduced in movies and TV. Compared with the paper resume, it can show the talk and behavior of job seekers in a three-dimensional way, which is favored by many college students. However, personnel experts remind job seekers that using this resume should be more targeted, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

The reporter found that there have been shops making video resumes near universities such as Jiaotong University, Tongji University and Caida University in this city recently. Making a video resume, according to different requirements, the price ranges from tens of yuan to thousands of yuan. Although it is much more expensive than traditional paper resumes, many college students are still willing to "try early".

However, the feedback from employers is slightly different from the expectations of college students. The personnel departments of some enterprises admit that video resumes are time-consuming to browse, which is not as convenient as traditional paper resumes to extract at any time. Generally speaking, it only takes about 1-2 minutes to browse an ordinary paper resume, while it sometimes takes nearly 20 minutes to play a video resume. Some video resumes are still very general and boring. The personnel manager of a company told the reporter that through the video resume, you can see the appearance and conversation of the applicant, but this is not what she cares about most. What is the candidate's ability? What is the potential? Even if more time is spent reviewing resumes, these key points are still unknown.

How to make a video resume icing on the cake for your job search? Employers believe that job seekers need to be more targeted when making video resumes. The introduction time should not be too long, just control it in a few minutes. In order to distinguish it from the paper media, apart from the introduction of basic information such as age and graduation school, personalization is essential. More importantly, not all positions are suitable for video resumes. Apply for some positions that need to show personal talents, such as creative work, TV program host, public relations, etc. Video resume can be used to show personal charm. The advantages of video resume cannot be highlighted when applying for general management and technical positions. At the same time, not all job seekers are suitable for making video resumes. For those job seekers with ordinary looks and poor expression skills, video resumes just highlight their personal weaknesses, which is not conducive to applying.

Work outside the interview-another way to collect information

All an application for a job will tell you how to collect all kinds of information about enterprises. Most graduates also know the importance of understanding enterprises and various information collection methods, so I won't go into details here.

I recommend 2 1 century business report, economic observer and China business newspaper to you. Students can learn more about the enterprise, its industry and its economic environment by reading many real stories and cases in these newspapers for many years, so as to be comfortable in the interview. Some of these newspapers are not big newspapers, but their ideas and contents are lively. You can't buy it at newsstands in some places. You can read it in the school library, subscribe to it in the post office, or read some slightly outdated articles online. For students facing job hunting, it is necessary to strengthen information exchange and communication in this area.

Don't get carried away by the interview.

Paying attention to current events will give people the impression that you arrange your time efficiently. Some people don't even read the newspaper news during the interview, and the time is full. They really achieve "two ears don't listen to things outside the window, just read the recruitment book". The interviewer will think that such a person is not suitable for dealing with customers, because he doesn't have the ability to do both, and you don't know what news and hot issues customers are interested in, so talking about things is inevitably boring. Moreover, it also shows that your ability to cope with big events will not be much better when you encounter a small interview with a tight schedule. If I didn't lose my mind in the interview, why am I so ignorant?

Care about the surrounding environment

You should also pay attention to the surrounding buildings. Don't take a taxi. Just know the door of the interview office. This can reflect a person's overall concept from one side. If you don't care about the overall situation, you will feel that your brain is not enough. Someone argued: "I am busy with the interview now and have no time." I will naturally pay attention to the surroundings after work! " "This is a very weak excuse. For example, everyone cares about customer information after work, but some people have the ability to master 80%, and some people only know a little. Is the observation of customers in place? Do you know all the questions? Your level is often inadvertently examined.

By the way, you'd better find out the English names of the big buildings around you at the same time, so as to prevent foreign recruiters from talking to you directly in English.

Telephone courtesy when applying.

When talking on the phone, the other party can't see your appearance, and the impression depends entirely on your tone and way of speaking. Telephone inquiry is the first step to contact with enterprises, so we need to pay more attention to telephone etiquette.

The first step in contact with enterprises-telephone

1. Don't be too hasty just because there is no face-to-face contact.

Sort out the questions you want to ask before you make a phone call.

3. Avoid asking about salary and salary on the phone.

4. Ask the companies you are interested in more actively.

Considering the other party's position, the two time zones of starting work in the morning and getting ready to leave work in the afternoon are usually the busiest time for the company, so pay attention to avoid these two time zones when making a phone call. Please say hello politely after the call. "I have a few questions to ask. Is it convenient for you now? " "So as not to interfere with each other's work and leave a bad impression.

Make a phone call in a quiet place If you use a public phone, you should pay special attention to the surrounding environment. Not suitable for noisy roadside or lively tea shop. Besides not being able to hear clearly, it is also easy to make people anxious. Choose the place carefully and avoid rudeness.

◎ Pay attention to the number of calling cards. When using a public telephone, the most common problem is that the change is not prepared enough and is interrupted. Using calling cards can avoid this worry, but pay special attention to the remaining number of calling cards. If there is not much left, it is safer to use a new calling card.

◎ Avoid using mobile phones to communicate. At present, the reception quality of mobile phones is constantly improving, but there will still be poor reception, which is easy to cause resentment of others. If you have to contact the outside world, you'd better use a public phone.

When the call is connected, please state your name first. After the call is connected, please tell me first, "I saw the job information of your company in the employment information." My family name is *. Ask them to help transfer to the relevant departments. After the personnel are connected with other related personnel, the name will also be quoted. Secondly, make a memo of all the information asked. Especially when applying to several companies at the same time, it will be helpful to adjust your schedule or compare the contents.

◎ Call in the mood of interview. Usually, companies will ask job seekers to send resumes after asking, and even conduct the first interview on the phone to decide whether to conduct further interviews. If you are too careless, once you are suddenly asked about your motivation and work experience, you may not answer well because you are not ready. Therefore, it is basically necessary to prepare some application reasons and self-recommendation sentences.

◎ If you are interested in the company, please call first. There must be some companies that you are not so keen on applying for, but you are interested in knowing the general situation! Perhaps because I still have some doubts about the company, I dare not apply rashly. At this time, let's ask by phone first! Some companies will try their best to answer all the questions on the phone. If you still feel that using the telephone is not appropriate, then using email is also a good way. Nowadays, more and more companies are willing to answer questions in addition to accepting resumes by email. Some companies will also send relevant information intimately. Unfortunately, this pipeline is useless! Solve your doubts and then apply, and the job search will be more secure.

◎ Is qualification absolute? In the advertisement of recruiting talents, age limit, experience demand and required professional skills will definitely be listed, but this is not an absolute limit. The conditions listed by the company are not fully met, and there is still a chance to be appointed. For example, it requires more than five years' experience as an engineer, and three years' qualification may be accepted. The same is true of age, and the age limit is often just a standard. Even if there is a clear reason for the age limit, if you have more than one point, if you have good adaptability to work and rich experience, the chances of promotion are still great. In any case, the application conditions are not absolute. If you are really interested in the company, you might as well ask first.

You may be very concerned about salary, but in the salary system that gives priority to ability, if you can't know your detailed work experience, you can't answer immediately.

It is easy to question your professional attitude about overtime and vacation. You should try to avoid asking questions on the phone.

Now more and more companies will say that they can apply by email. But isn't it a bit rude to apply by email and not be accepted? Besides, will the company really read my application letter? Many readers are so upset! In particular, e-mail does not have certain rules to follow like letters. In fact, companies that expect you to send emails must use the Internet to some extent, so please make use of this quick and convenient way as much as possible, and don't worry about being impolite. The basic items of e-mail application letter include name, age, education, application items, contact information, etc. The most important thing is simplicity and generosity.

In addition, adding some prefaces will also make enterprises feel good.

Call it "four taboos"

(1) Don't be arrogant. You should read carefully the recruitment advertisement of the employer in advance. Such as recruitment time, place, position, required qualifications, etc. Don't act rashly, take chances. If a unit recruits an air conditioning engineer, it needs a college degree and more than three years of work experience. Unexpectedly, when the advertisement came out, professionals in water and electricity installation and water supply and drainage called to apply; What's more, people engaged in economic management also called to seek the position, and many newly graduated college students also called to apply for the position.

(2) Avoid inappropriate language. When calling for a job, you must be polite and humble, and avoid uncivilized language, arrogant attitude, slurred speech and procrastination. If a job seeker calls to introduce himself, he asks the employer, "What qualifications do I have? Not bad, right? " When applying for a job by phone, you should first introduce yourself briefly, such as: "My name is * *, and I learned the information about your company's recruitment from the newspaper, and I want to apply for this position". Don't start by asking, "What company do you have here?" "Where is your company?" "What is the salary? Do you have food and shelter? " This will leave a very bad impression on employers.

(3) I don't know how to master time. Don't make a phone call when the employer is about to leave work, let alone make a phone call after work. In addition, a phone call should not be too long, because you are not the only applicant.

(4) Avoid hanging up first. Applicants should wait for the receiver to say goodbye or hang up before hanging up; Don't hang up unilaterally as soon as you finish.

Employers emphasize that candidates should have good communication and coordination skills, and the job phone reflects the quality of job seekers from the side. Therefore, graduates must pay attention to the ways and means of making job calls to avoid being eliminated in the first round of job hunting.
