It is not an exaggeration to describe the current situation of college students' job hunting with "no feeling" and "unable to find the north". Recently, when some universities in Beijing held the "2005 lecture tour on employment and entrepreneurship in capital universities", "how to prepare carefully before job hunting" was a hot issue that many students asked the experts present.
Experts agree: don't make flashy superficial articles, but prepare for job hunting from a practical point of view. Practicality is the basis of surprise.
Customize resumes for enterprises
The resumes of applying to Hewlett-Packard (China) Co., Ltd. are piling up, but Xiao Chen's resume stands out.
"A unique resume is an effective way to get an interview," said Sun Honggang, executive editor of Worry-Free Future magazine. "Chen Xiao spent a week making a survey report."
Xiao Chen, a marketing major, decided to join Hewlett-Packard Company very early. Before submitting his resume, Xiao Chen observed the stalls selling HP printers in several electronic markets in Zhongguancun for a week, specifically asking those who didn't buy HP printers why. A week later, he made a detailed analysis report: How many people don't buy HP printers? What are their ages, genders, occupations, etc? What do they think HP printers need to be improved?
Finally, after a few pages of investigation report, he marked a sentence: "If you want to know more, please contact me!"
Why does HP pay attention to such a special resume? The person in charge of human resources of HP (China) said that the reason was that the company wanted to recruit a position in the market, and Xiao Chen went to the sales front line to understand the situation, and his attitude was commendable. In addition, his investigation is also very interesting, which is also the most concerned issue for enterprises.
Sun Honggang believes that the success of this case is because job seekers understand the job needs of enterprises.
Welcome people who know business.
A graduate of Beijing affiliated university was admitted by a world-famous accounting firm. Experts believe that the success of this graduate lies in his experience. In fact, business administration is the most common major, and Xiao Chao, who studied this major, didn't expect to be so lucky.
He has been an intern in the marketing department of a newspaper since his junior year. He interviewed many business leaders and learned the basic process of business operation. At the same time, he also found problems in enterprise management. After a year, with more and more newspaper articles, not to mention the accumulation of experience.
During the interview, others held several pages of resumes, while Xiao Chao showed his thick works, many of which were hot issues of concern to enterprises. After several interviews, several units were interested in hiring him at the same time, and he finally chose an accounting firm with a high reputation.
Some experts have analyzed that accounting firms generally need to study finance graduate students, and Xiao Chao was chosen because he knows the situation of enterprises very well. If you are a financial professional, but you don't know the enterprise, you need a long process of understanding, and accounting firms have to pay a long training time; For a person who knows the enterprise, even if he is not a finance major or a graduate student, he can quickly grasp the needs of the enterprise and bring benefits to the accounting firm, which is naturally needed by the enterprise.
Knowing about enterprises is an obstacle for college students to find jobs. Even if they find a job, there will be a long process to adapt to the enterprise.
Enterprises need valuable people.
Some enterprise personnel managers said that the evaluation of college students by enterprises has not paid full attention to schools and majors, but focused on personal ability and quality, whether they can make achievements and bring value to enterprises.

Hu, the human resource manager of C2C business, told reporters that less than two weeks after the advertisement was released, 450 people submitted their resumes to the company. Because the business is brand-new, applicants are required to have strong learning ability.

Kuang Jie, a senior human resources expert, pointed out that the basic situation should be simple and the internship situation should be detailed. Write the facts clearly-because facts speak louder than words!
Enron, a partner and human resource expert of Beijing Siyang Management Consulting Company, pointed out that the content of the internship should be detailed and clear. This will help the personnel manager to judge your ability through your experience and arrange a suitable position for you.
"From the perspective of actual combat, we should also pay attention to the more critical aspect, that is, enterprise informatization." Kuang Jie also has many tips to understand the enterprise. To understand the basic situation of an enterprise is to find out who to vote for your resume. This depends on paying more attention to all aspects of information. For example, pay attention to the industry where your major is located, and be very familiar with large enterprises, competent units, industry associations and influential people in the industry.
It has long been said that the workplace is like a battlefield. If you want to win, you must "know yourself and know yourself". If you want to stand out, you must prepare from a practical point of view. ;
