Long Time No See

872 views. 2010-3-16 00:04 |

I have been away from here for about half a year. Yeah, my last blog remained in the end of June last year when I became an intern in Delphi, a foreign company.
 
As a senior, I joined in the movement of job-hunting naturally. During these days, I knew a lot and experienced a lot. I study in a very good university in Shanghai. Orignally, I thought it was an easy job to find a decent job with a good salary because of the advantage of the reputation of the university. But it turned out to be wrong...
 
Perhaps it's easy to pass the written tests or maybe the first round interview. But later, many times, I found that I was competing with postgraduates and it was impossible for me to beat them. I major in Information Management, IT related. So I have no advantages. Saddly... But I didn't give up at all. I kept trying applying, being interviewed and waiting for the whole first half semester of senior.
 
About a week before the Spring Festival, when I was frustrated and almost lost heart, my cellphone rang. It was from an HR of a company. She told me that I passed the interview and needed to go for a medical check-up. And finally I got it.
 
Now the only thing I need to do is to finish my graduation dissertation. I'll enjoy the campus life for the last half years~
 
I wish everybody here good luck and success in your study and career~

As a junior, I joined in the preparation  of Postgraduate Entrance Examination  naturally,for competing with postgraduates is no easy task for an undergraduate,like you said.On the oher hand,I  am eager to learn much more and unwilling to end my  college life simply in this way.

Anyway,
Speaking of interview, you know, I had never been interviewed until last October. Although I have done some part-time jobs(supermarket cashier) and been intern(in Delphi and so forth), they never interviewed me. So I had no experience about interview at all.
But when it comes to hunting jobs, I really put in a lot of effort on preparing interviews. It is hard for me because I will get nervous easily. And the "introduce myself" part, I wrote and modified a lot of times in paper.
As an old hand, here's my advice for you.
Introduction is very important, all HRs will let you introduce yourself and what you say and how you say it may influence the interviewer's judgement through the whole interview.
Just be yourself. You needn't do too much preparation because sometimes you may be influenced by your preparation and behave unnaturally. Don't try to pander to the interviewer, sometimes it's just a trap!
Check your resume again to ensure you can answer all questions from it, the details of your school activities, or your intern experience and other questions like that.
These are what I think. Maybe a book about interview is a plus. Anyway, good luck~

Dog-eat-dog city. I quite agree with you~
It sounds that you are not from Shanghai. It's lucky that I'm from Shanghai and this did help a lot when I was looking for jobs. The competition between students from prestige universities is so fierce, let alone these from other provinces.
So I have to say I'm a lucky dog in such a dog-eat-dog city~haha~
