I didn't graduate from Tsinghua. I have been working for more than three years. In recent years, I have always felt that I have not grown up, or I am a student. But after reading many people's articles in this edition, I found that many years of work experience has been out of touch with students' psychology. I think some of your ideas are naive. Of course, I didn't mean to belittle you. Me too. I want to say a few words about my experience and feelings, which can be regarded as some suggestions from someone who has been there: (The following are my personal views and feelings, not IBM's views! )
1. 90% of people who come out of school can't directly apply the skills they have learned to their work, so don't think that you can't know Java or J2EE, so how can you go to IBM? It doesn't really matter. A company doesn't require newcomers from school to know everything. There is only one requirement, that is, they will learn. As long as you study well, even if you can't even use the computer, it may not matter. The key is that you can learn and prove to HR that you have strong learning ability. You can speak C++ and not Java, but you can learn Java in a week, not bad!
2. Development prospects. If you want to make a lot of money, you must be your own boss. It's hard to make a lot of money working in any company, especially in places like China, and IBM is no exception. If you just want to earn a middle income and be a white-collar worker, IBM can still meet your wish as long as you work hard. If you want to achieve something in the field of technology, there is an opportunity in IBM, but this opportunity is very small and difficult, and maybe it will be bigger somewhere outside. Of course, you can also use IBM as a springboard, exercise here for a few years first, and then go out and start your own company. As long as you leave for more than three years, IBM generally won't embarrass you. Although the contract says five years, even if you leave within three years, it is not particularly troublesome, or it may be a bit difficult to come back after leaving.
It's really not difficult to get into IBM. The written test should be a small case for all of you. I have never seen such a topic circulating on the internet. But for people with no work experience, the interview may be more difficult. It's not that you are bad, it's that you haven't learned to express your Excellence, some are self-righteous and students are too angry. You should remember that you are no longer a student, you are here to work, and you need to adapt to the company, not the company to adapt to you. The company is not a charity, it wants you to work. For the company, the interview is to find out your value to the company. If you just expect the company to give you a chance to show yourself, regardless of whether it is in the company's interest or not, then I'm sorry, next. When interviewing again, all you have to do is show your strengths and abilities that meet the interests and needs of the company, and that's all.
4. Honesty, I should have put this at the forefront, always remember this and be honest in the interview. The people who interview you generally have no lower education than you. People know what you have experienced. Any lie is easy to see through, but the other party may take care of your face and not tell it. But as long as you find a lie, you won't get the job! The key to being honest is to say one thing, neither keeping it nor exaggerating it. Don't think that people can brag just because they don't understand you. When interviewing you, there may be more than one person. If you feel suspicious, you can check it after the interview. In short, don't treat others as fools. For example, some people say that they have compiled 1 00,000 lines of code in two years, but a person who has worked at IBM for three years may not be able to compile110,000 lines of code. In this case, you can tell at a glance that it is fake or junk code.
Don't be self-righteous and don't feel how great you are. If you go to IBM for the first time, you will feel that everyone is so ordinary, but in fact, in a company like IBM, almost every employee has his proud experience, which may be greater than you, but almost everyone will not show it.
6. During the interview, the other party often has some "slang" inside IBM (abbreviation! ), this is because the other party has been at IBM for a long time. Naturally, he forgot that you don't understand. At this time, you should never guess the meaning of these words by yourself, just ask directly to avoid misunderstanding. Asking these questions won't make you look stupid. The most common example is that the so-called WebSphere outside is actually WAS(WebSphere Application Server).
7. As for the resume, I personally suggest that two pages is enough, Chinese is fine, and there is no harm in adding an English translation, but in fact, we mainly read Chinese. Everyone is from China! Write clearly on your resume what you have done, not the introduction of the projects you have participated in! Attention, what I emphasize is what you have done! So what did you do when you participated in the project? During the interview, you may be asked about the details of the project, but don't worry, he doesn't want to steal the technology of the project you have done, but just wants to verify whether you are telling the truth and doing well. In addition, there is an article on how to write a resume on IBM's website. It is recommended to read carefully. Every article is very practical and absolutely targeted!
8. If you know someone from IBM, you'd better introduce them through this person to avoid dropping the net layer of Chinese talents. Personally, I feel that the style of ChinaHR.com is different from that of IBM. Maybe you were originally a talent recognized by IBM, but you were brushed away by ChinaHR.com! And if you apply for a technical position, IBM's HR department may also brush off some suitable candidates (because HR has too many resumes). Therefore, through people inside IBM, it is the best way to get an interview. Don't think it's a back door, but it's actually just an interview.
9. Non-technical ability is mainly related to teamwork. IBM believes that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses in personality, but in a team, it is a successful team to give full play to everyone's strengths and avoid everyone's weaknesses. To do this, non-technical ability is very important, in fact, how to be a man! Never ignore this point, for example, your communication skills are not very good, but you should also be willing to learn and cultivate your communication skills. If you don't think it matters, it will probably be brushed off, and even if you go in, there will be no good development prospects.
It is incomplete to think like this for the time being. Some of them may have been mentioned by others. Once again, these are personal experiences, not IBM's views, and only for technical positions, even those of CSDL. Another point is that these experiences are invalid for ChinaHR.com, because I have never experienced the process of ChinaHR.com..
