It's the season for college graduates to find jobs again. It is reported that many graduates are not fully prepared for the fierce employment competition. There are countless "problem graduates" who are afraid of employment, avoid competition and resign themselves to fate. The problem for more people is that after submitting several resumes, they are in a passive waiting state. Many people even began to doubt themselves because they didn't reply, which affected their future job hunting.

Have you ever encountered such a situation in the process of job hunting? The resume you submitted didn't respond. What will you do besides waiting?

Talking to yourself is also effective.

Chen Ming: 35 years old, department head.

When I just graduated and started looking for a job, it was in the early 1990s. At that time, there were fewer foreign companies stationed in Shanghai, and even fewer were openly recruited. Therefore, after accidentally reading a job advertisement for a joint venture in the newspaper, I did not hesitate to submit my resume, regardless of whether my major was right or not. The boss of the company received me. Because there was no formal interview form at that time, he asked a few questions, even if he was admitted or not. In fact, because my major was not right, I couldn't answer many questions at that time, but I couldn't show weakness. So, I still pretended to be very sure and rambled until my boss politely accepted my resume and told me to go home and wait for news.

I went home like this, but my heart was always hanging there. The phone at home broke down, and I was so excited and nervous that I thought it was for me However, contrary to expectations, a week passed and the company still didn't call me.

Is it over? I asked myself this question, but my heart was full of reluctance. Can an interview with less than 10 minutes decide my future in this life so easily? Of course not. Nothing can give up this rare opportunity. So, with the determination of "taking a chance", I rushed to that company again. The same boss looked blank when he saw me and asked me why I came. Maybe it's really "quick wits". Suddenly, I didn't know where I got the courage and "inspiration" and answered him confidently: "The personnel department informed me to report for duty."

Then, something wonderful happened. The boss looked at me and suddenly smiled. Later, without checking with the personnel department, he said to me, "Well, since I'm here, other new employees are receiving training, so go quickly."

Actually, it's finished! I can't believe my good luck, and I have the fear and luck of "surviving". So, in the next training, I redoubled my efforts. Two months later, I passed the exam and finally became a member of this company.

Afterwards, I learned that the boss really didn't like me during the interview. However, watching me come to the company so far, I did not hesitate to make up such a "naive" lie to win this opportunity. I think I am very courageous and gave me a chance to try. I waited like a fool for a while on impulse. Although I was reckless, I seemed to have done the right thing. Therefore, at any time, as long as there is an opportunity, you can't give up. The key to success is still in your own hands.

"harass" with the phone

Xu Meihua: 26 years old, salesman.

No response to your resume doesn't mean you can't do it, and it doesn't mean you have no hope.

I study Chinese, but I am very interested in marketing. The university "scraped" a lot of business school courses in four years, and also did marketing planning in two companies. It can be said that they have both theoretical knowledge and practical experience, which is no worse than their business school background. When I voted for that company, I estimated that they had "departmental" discrimination against non-marketing students. Sure enough, my name was not on the interview list published a week later. I didn't like that company very much at first, but they "filtered" me like this, which aroused my fighting spirit.

After calling "Harassment" for the first time10/,I finally found the company boss. I asked him why he didn't get the interview qualification and told him that although my major was wrong, I taught myself a lot of marketing knowledge and had rich practical experience during my college years. I also analyzed the thinking of some cases I did during my part-time job and talked about my understanding of some marketing concepts. I can hear that my boss is getting interested in me and promised to reconsider. Shortly thereafter, we had another telephone conversation, and I won the job very successfully.

After looking for a job, all my friends reached a consensus: after your resume is submitted, don't "wait". If the problem is not your own, take the initiative. Call and ask why, show your sincerity in joining the job, and give yourself another chance to "show your face" and impress the other party. In this way, I am willing to fail, at least I have tried my best. If you are very interested in that company, you should "prepare your homework" before calling.

See yourself to the door.

Dong Mingyu: 27 years old, manager.

When I graduated, at the beginning, I also madly submitted my resume with everyone, but flowers blossomed and few companies responded. Later, I saw a survey report on job hunting methods on the Internet. Inspired by this report, I changed my strategy-from passive to active. I began to list the top 500 companies in Shanghai one by one, and called them one by one to introduce the basic situation and ask them if there were any suitable vacancies. For companies that I am very interested in, I will bring my resume and go directly to their office building to interview their personnel managers. After such a month of running around, I found that I really had many more opportunities than those students who simply waited for answers in the dormitory. When I got offer from several well-known big companies, many students sighed in surprise: "Ah, this company also recruits people? Why didn't I see the job advertisement? "

From practice, I found that you should never be intimidated by the names of big companies, thinking that the competition is fierce and you have no way to start. In fact, those companies that don't advertise for employees have fewer competitors, which is beneficial to them. If you are attractive enough to attract the attention of the employer, the other party may even tailor a position for you.

Take the initiative to attack, even if it fails, who will remember that silly boy or that immature girl after many years!

Thanks to that thank-you letter

Zhang Qin: 29 years old, technical director.

After your resume is submitted, you can do anything, the only thing that is not allowed is "waiting".

The foreign company where I work now is run by an American. At that time, a trainee was recruited, but more than 50 people signed up, and the competition was fierce. Everything went smoothly from submitting my resume to attending the interview. After the interview, my boss Logan specially gave me a business card. I almost think I am the only person in the company. However, unexpectedly, after that, I entered a long waiting period.

Seeing the students around me signing autographs, I couldn't help myself and began to "vote for another monarch." However, I still have a soft spot for Logan's company after looking around. So I found my business card and wrote a letter according to the address, thanking Mr. Logan for giving me an interview and looking forward to further notice. On the third day, I received a phone call from Mr Logan. He said in English, "Congratulations, you are hired!" " Congratulations on your employment! ) I can't help jumping for joy.

We mentioned it in an accidental conversation after work. I asked him why he chose me among so many people. He said with a smile: "Because your letter makes me feel that you are a polite person, we have a practice of writing a thank-you letter to the company that gave the interview opportunity after the interview. You are the only one among more than 50 applicants."

I need to say something to you.

As a returnee, I have also experienced the pain of being unemployed and laid off. Years ago, when I was sorting out documents while working in Germany, I came across a reply sent by a recruitment unit in Berlin that declined politely. So, I had a whim and translated it into Chinese overnight. The next day, I sent its template format to a headhunting company together with a cover letter.

This time, I was not disappointed at last. In addition to receiving the reply, I also received a thank-you letter unexpectedly. I also took the initiative to help them make various replies into different templates and automatically connect them to the mail server, which not only solved the complicated mail processing, but also gave countless eager candidates a warm reply.

I have always felt that the process of finding a job is very lucky. So, if there is no reply, I can only explain that I am unlucky and continue to pray.

-Every day

Don't lie on the "old calendar" of submitting your resume and wait for the answer. Practice has proved that the more time spent, the more embarrassing it is, the less likely it seems, and the greater the success rate. More importantly, don't be limited to one way, and use several at the same time, the chances will be much greater.

-Tang Weiwei

I don't think I'm the kind of person who can rush out, and I'm passive, so I should wait for my own job with peace of mind.

-Xiao Jing

After several crowded job fairs, I decided to submit my resume online. To my surprise, I voted for more than a dozen copies, and none of them let me go for an interview.

Later, I learned that there are many skills in sending an email: for example, the title of the email should indicate the position you are applying for, and the text should have a resume. Otherwise, the human resources department will receive a large number of application letters every day, and the title of the email is not clearly written. People may delete it as spam without reading it. And now the virus is so "sheng" that everyone may not dare to open their resumes in the attachment.
