1. Seize the opportunity
People often mistakenly think that opportunities are waiting for them here. In fact, the opportunity is fleeting. When headhunters recommend positions to you, it should be a good opportunity for you to choose one among thousands of people. While you feel honored, you must take it seriously.
Headhunters often recommend positions, but most people consider them without in-depth understanding, do not reply within 24 hours, and 90% do not consider them. Please remember to give the headhunter an answer as soon as possible at your convenience, even if you really don't consider the position, you should make it clear. In this way, headhunters think that if there is a good opportunity, they should recommend it to you.
Participate in or strive for interview opportunities in time and at any time: at present, large companies often employ multi-channel recruitment, and some find several headhunters to assist. If you don't actively participate in the headhunting process, you can only "cross Qian Fan with a wooden boat and cross Wan Muchun with a sick tree". Moreover, generally vacant positions have deadlines, and as soon as the positions are closed, no one will wait for them.
2. Resume content
If you are interested in this position, please re-write a resume in person and send it to the headhunter as soon as possible (preferably within 4 hours). Some people think it's good to keep your resume simple and don't need to write too much. Some people take out their previous resumes and send them to headhunters. This is all inappropriate.
Resume should be full, flesh and blood. At least include the following parts: personal information, work experience and educational experience. Work experience is the most important, generally including company, starting and ending time, job title, job responsibilities, project, performance and reasons for leaving. Among them, job responsibilities are the most important, reflecting what you have done in the company. Generally, each company has about 7-8 job responsibilities.
Please note: In fact, a good resume is targeted and should be revised and supplemented according to the requirements of the recommended position. Your resume should not show that you are a professional or have relevant abilities. Resume should reflect some key words mentioned in the "job requirements" through the description of specific work, such as: what industry this person is, how long he has worked in what type of company, what specific position he has worked in, what specific work he has done, etc.
Headhunters look at resumes all the year round, especially when interviewing resumes, they will only spend as little time as possible on a resume and quickly eliminate obviously unsuitable candidates. At this time, if your resume is too simple, or relevant keywords do not appear, it will be quickly closed. Of course, rambling on things unrelated to work is more meaningless than the former.
Headhunters should make recommendation reports to enterprises according to their resumes and job requirements, and each report should highlight your "selling points" to the greatest extent, but don't expect headhunters to make up conditions for you. For example, the recommendation report is a beautiful root carving, but your resume should be a prototype root carving with carving value.
3. Arrangement of interview
If the headhunter informs you of a telephone interview or a face-to-face interview, congratulations, you have entered the first level. There are many things to pay attention to here, even if you think you are a good interviewer. Preparing for the interview includes familiarizing yourself with the company introduction given by the headhunter. You can search the company information on the website. The research work requires targeted preparation. Look at your strengths, weaknesses and how to express them. Be familiar with the company location and remember the interview time. Please dress formally, be punctual, be polite, smile and look each other in the eye. Respect others. Some candidates gave such things as "the interviewer knows nothing" and "their skills are not as good as mine-". Even if you are really better than them, please be modest. Maybe they are discussing the problem in a low profile and see how you react.
Interview conversation should be simple and direct, talk more if you have something, and talk less if you have nothing to do. Of course, some things need to be euphemistic. Many companies are concerned about the reason why the candidate resigned, because no company wants his employees to come and go in a hurry.
Several situations that headhunters often encounter:
Too far from home-no one wants to waste too much time on the wheels. But why did you agree to go to that company? You have persisted for several years, now how to pay attention to the problem of being too far away from home?
Too much pressure-modern fast-paced society needs good pressure-bearing ability, and the post pressure here is also great. What should you do?
The task is too high to be completed-the standard is similar to others, and some can be completed. Will you do well when you come to our company?
Family reasons-the wife or husband does not support it. Will you support your work in our company in the future?
The company's work is not smooth and the boss is not good-don't say that your company or boss is not good.
When asked about the direction of career development, you may feel that this problem is very big and you can doodle at will. Please seriously consider whether the position offered by headhunters can really realize your "great ambition". You know, some positions need to be aggressive, but some positions actually need to be down to earth. If the job requirements focus on doing specific things, you have to say that you want to be a manager and want to be a manager. How can you succeed?
When you meet several people to interview you in turn, this situation will often be like going to the reclining Buddha Temple, with the giant Buddha in the back. Don't think that you will relax in the end, you need to stay in good shape and stick to the last level.
4. Other preventive measures
If you receive an offer, the next procedure will be that you provide the contacts, colleagues and/or superiors of the original company, and the headhunter will do a background check. You can say hello to them in advance. Generally you can pass here, but you should take it seriously.
I hope you can keep the secret of changing jobs. Before things are 200% successful, headhunters don't want you to reveal your job search, and headhunters don't want to bring you any trouble. Even if you get an offer, it's good to stick to it for a while, because accidents may still happen.
Headhunters come into contact with many people every day, and sometimes they make big mistakes in their memory. At any time of communication, they may not remember who you are or treat you as someone else. Please remind headhunters in time. In contact with headhunters, it is best to say your name and what you said last time.
If the headhunter issues a report within one week after the interview or you don't have any information, please take the initiative to call the headhunter to find out the situation.
The job of headhunters is to act as a bridge between enterprises and applicants. Headhunters hope that customers are satisfied with the recommended candidates, and also hope that the candidates can find good jobs and get good development in the new working environment.
