Financial people hate the "hidden rules" of job hunting, and they rank first!
In August, autumn strokes ushered in a peak period. Investment banks, big four and other big names have also joined this wave of autumn tricks. For job seekers, the most difficult thing is not online application, nor OT(OnlineTest), but the question that almost everyone will face: Why did you submit your resume many times without any response? Why did you invest in Goldman Sachs in the United States, but you can't invest again when you return home? Why did DDL(Deadline) end early when it was clearly not here?

In fact, this may be because most of the positions are occupied; Another possibility is that your resume is "frozen"! During the "freezing period", no matter how you submit your resume, it's no use.

"Freezing period", the most annoying "hidden rule"

Resume delivery should be careful to avoid "freezing period"

Simply put, when applying for a position in a company, if the interview fails unfortunately, it usually takes 6 months-1 year to apply for this position again.

This waiting time is what we call "freezing period", also called "little black room". In the company's "official language", it is: minimum time you have to wait before-applying preposition.

Therefore, during the "freezing period", no one will see your hundreds of resumes no matter how hard you are. "People ignore you and don't care about you." No wonder the "frozen period" will become the most annoying "hidden rule" in the minds of job seekers.

Causes of "freezing period"

In a word, it is easier to recruit people.

Think about it. For enterprises, at least hundreds of thousands of applicants read a resume at an average speed of 3 seconds every year, and the list is endless. If "unqualified" job seekers apply repeatedly, the workload will be even greater!

As a result, the "freeze period" of online application came into being: limiting the number of applicants and only applying for a certain number of positions in a certain period of time.

The "freezing period" of most enterprises is to limit the number of deliveries in a recruitment season (that is, from the beginning of autumn recruitment to the end of spring recruitment). Among them, "Wall Street tycoon" Goldman Sachs can be called "industry benchmark" and "industry conscience".

Goldman Sachs, can only apply once? !

Goldman Sachs has always been known for its rigorous recruitment.

Last year, the strategy of "applying only once for every position in the world" was introduced, which also explains why some people "invested in Goldman Sachs in the United States and can't invest again when they return home?" Because you are on Goldman Sachs' "global blacklist".

Goldman Sachs changed its application rules this year!

According to Goldman Sachs official website, it is suggested that global job seekers only submit 1 application, but they can choose 3 regions/work preferences.

But please be careful! Watch out! Choose! Choose! Position and job search location. Because once you fill in the wrong information, you want to withdraw and reapply. Excuse me! No way! At this time, you have entered the "freezing period", this recruitment season, you have no chance! If you want to apply again, you must wait for the next recruitment season.

In fact, Goldman Sachs is not "lonely", and its financial peers also have the same "freezing period".

The "Frozen Period" of Investment Banks, Big Four and Banks

P P.Morgan Chase's "freeze period" rule is almost the same as Goldman Sachs's: globally, you can apply for up to three jobs every year.

MorganStanley, another "Wall Street tycoon", is similar to the first two: globally, each applicant can apply for up to three different projects in each recruitment season.

Different from the "global chess game" of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, the "freezing period" of investment banks such as Bank of America, Citigroup and UBS is much more complicated, and the regulations in each region are different.

1. Bank of America

North America: apply for up to 3 in each recruitment season.

UK: The maximum number of applicants per recruitment season is 1.

Hong Kong and other regions: apply for up to 2 in each recruitment season.

2. Citigroup (American company)

North America: It is recommended to control it within 3.

UK: The maximum number of applications is 1.

Hong Kong and other regions: up to 3 applications.

3. UBS Group AG

North America: up to 3 applications per year.

UK: The maximum number of applications per year is 1.

Hong Kong and other regions: the maximum number of applications per year is 1.

One advantage of this geographical setting is that if you fail to apply in the UK, you can continue to apply in North America, and your resume will not be marked by HR. For "global strategies" like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, no matter where you apply, you can't apply again in different places, because HR can find you.

Compared with investment banks, the four "freezing periods" are not excessive:

PricewaterhouseCoopers

Canada: You can apply again after 90 days.

UK: You can apply again after 6 months.

Australia: You can only apply for 1 position in a recruitment season.

Deloitte

UK: It takes 12 months to apply again.

Australia: Apply for up to 3 positions.

Hong Kong: Apply for 1 internship position and 1 full-time position at most every year.

The most surprising thing is the bank. Too "strict", the "freeze period" of HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank: globally, you can only apply for one position at most in a recruitment season. It's really "one careless move will lose the game"!

It's frozen. What should I do?

If you are unfortunately trapped in the "cold palace", please save your strength and sharpen your mind like every palace drama, and fight again tomorrow.

When you have just received the notice of being "frozen", please communicate with HR as soon as possible to confirm the length of the freezing period, when it can be delivered again, whether it will affect the delivery of other posts, what you have not done well enough, how to improve it, and what kind of talents the company needs ..... Please pay attention to the wording!

For those students who unfortunately suffered from the freezing period, I have the following suggestions:

1. Adjust your mentality, don't be too pessimistic, and don't be blindly optimistic;

2. According to the problem feedback, improve yourself in a targeted manner, whether it is hard power or soft power;

3. Try other opportunities according to your job hunting intention, so you don't have to hang yourself on a tree.
