Chapter 220 Song Lala's Job Hunting Diary 10
The interviewer carefully observed Song Xianyin in front of him.
"Do you live with friends?"
Song Xianyin nodded. It was a routine question; she wasn't worried.
The interviewer thought for a moment, then frowned: "Boyfriend."
Song Xianyin quickly denied it: "No, no, we're just ordinary friends."
Why are we suddenly talking about boyfriends? Isn't this a bit of a jump in the topic?
The interviewer looked at her with some unease. She looked back at the chair and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Song Xianyin shook her head like a rattle-drum: "Don't worry, absolutely not."
The interviewer breathed a sigh of relief: "We're not joking when we hire people; we really do train new employees."
Seeing that Song Xianyin didn't understand, the employee next to her explained, "If you live with your boyfriend, or have a boyfriend, this is actually an unstable factor for the company."
The interviewer nodded: "We've hired a few girls before, and before the interview they said they had no plans to get married or live with their boyfriends, but they told me they were pregnant before they'd even been working for a month."
She looked quietly at Song Xianyin and said, "If you're planning to start a family, it's best not to join our company. The workload here is very heavy."
The person next to him smiled and said, "It's not easy for a company to train a new employee. We're not discriminating against women, it's just that we are indeed a small company."
Pregnant women can increase the burden on their companies.
Song Xianyin finally understood why they had asked her if she had a boyfriend during so many interviews.
The interviewer looked at Song Xianyin in front of him and said, "This is the first round. If you pass the first round, we will send you a test, and there will be a second round of interviews."
"OK, thanks."
That concludes today's interviews.
Song Xianyin was sitting on the subway when she received a call from the company she had interviewed with.
Song Xianyin barely heard a few words, but it was something like she had passed the interview, asked when she would start work, and asked her to send him her CET-4 and CET-6 scores and her academic verification report from the China Higher Education Student Information System (CHESICC).
Song Xianyin felt a warmth in her heart; she had finally received a formal offer, complete with an email.
5k with weekends off is actually not bad; there aren't that many people in City A with weekends off...
But she was stunned when she saw the salary structure.
【基本工资 2360元＋岗位补贴740元＋加班工资600元＋保密费300元＋绩效奖金 1000元】
A crazy company.
She's a recent graduate, not stupid...
What happened to the promised base salary of 5,000? What are all these other random things?
Will she get overtime pay if she doesn't work overtime? Will she get performance bonus if she doesn't meet the performance standards? It's outrageous.
Moreover, the position on the offer letter was different from the position she interviewed for.
Song Xianyin knew that she had received another job offer from a fraudulent company.
Everyone says City A is a gold mine, but she thinks City A is like a mini-Northern Myanmar.
Song Xianyin decided to give it a shot at the company she interviewed with today; at least it seemed legitimate.
After returning home, Song Xianyin received a link to the test questions sent to her by the company she had interviewed with that day.
As soon as she received the link, she prepared to take a screenshot and search for the answer, but a warning popped up immediately on the system prohibiting screenshots...
What a strict company! I hope they will also strictly abide by labor laws regarding overtime.
A few days later, Song Xianyin successfully participated in the second round of testing.
"What are your weaknesses?" the interviewer asked.
Song Xianyin frowned: "My weakness is that I'm too persistent. Once I've decided on something, I want to do it to the best of my ability."
"I am also very eager to see the results of my efforts quickly, but not every effort will yield results, and that is my weakness."
I don't know how many interviewees have memorized this template.
The interviewer remained completely unmoved upon hearing this.
If you were to rate yourself, what score would you give yourself?
Song Xianyin was taken aback when she heard the question.
You have to be confident during an interview, because only when you are confident will others trust you.
Otherwise, if she were timid and hesitant, they would definitely think she was not up to the task.
"Ninety-eight points," Song Xianyin replied restrainedly.
The interviewer looked at her with some surprise: "Ninety-eight points?"
Song Xianyin nodded firmly.
The interviewer smiled and said, "You rate yourself so highly?"
"Yes! I think I get 98 points."
The interviewer flipped through the other people's resumes: "Several of them are from University A, and they gave themselves a score of 75."
Song Xianyin paused for a moment, then looked earnestly at the interviewers: "They're too modest. If I were from University A, I would give myself a perfect score."
The interviewer's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Then I'm really curious about your score of 98."
Song Xianyin entered the company based on her self-confidence.
She felt she should be confident. A few days ago, a man interviewed her. He hadn't even passed the CET-4 (College English Test Band 4), but he confidently told the interviewer that he had already passed the CET-6.
When the interviewer asked him why he hadn't passed even though he had, he simply waved his hand and said, "It was just a few points difference; they were about the same."
However, some girls who have passed the CET-4 and CET-6 exams are too embarrassed to write down their scores because they are not high.
A man can be this confident at any time...
Song Xianyin learned some Photoshop when she was in school, and she wrote very carefully on her resume: "Can use Photoshop in a basic way".
The guy didn't know Photoshop at all, but he told the interviewer he was proficient in Photoshop and Excel. When the interviewer asked him to demonstrate on the spot, he couldn't even create a new layer.
The interviewer was very angry and felt cheated.
The man simply waved his hand and said, "If they don't want me here, there are plenty of other places that will. I'm off!"
Song Xianyin and the interviewer were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
Song Xianyin soon received the good news that she had passed the second round of testing.
She liked this company, even though the salary wasn't high and it had alternating weeks of alternating days of work and rest. She felt that she and the company's atmosphere were quite compatible.
On her first day at work, a boy walked up to her with a smile.
"Hello, I'm your team leader. I'll be your mentor from now on."
"Hello, team leader," Song Xianyin said politely.
“You can call me Brother Qin.” The team leader glanced at her.
"Okay, team leader."
The team leader choked for a moment and didn't continue speaking.
The team leader wore glasses and usually dressed in light-colored clothes, giving him a somewhat scholarly appearance.
But Song Xianyin always felt that this group leader was a bit strange.
The group was all girls. Whenever he taught the group members something, he liked to put one hand on the table and then put his arm around the girl.
Although they weren't very close, the girl appeared to be completely contained in his arms and unable to leave.
"Ayin, take a look at this video first..."
Song Xianyin was embraced by the team leader in mid-air, and his voice came from above her head.
"Team leader, please have a seat."
Song Xianyin bent down and crawled out.
