How to guess the company that is not suitable for long-term work in the interview, and gain early insight to avoid detours
The mixed emotions brought about by graduation and the prospects for the future of the workplace have left many young people both full of hope and feeling lost. Some people have vividly compared that applying for a job as a college student is like stepping into kindergarten for the first time when you are a child.
Many students may be cautious due to a lack of full understanding of their abilities. In fact, the interview is a two-way choice, and graduates have enough reasons to treat it with an attitude of "neither humble nor arrogant".
Of course, finding your dream job can be challenging these days, and being able to be hired successfully is a valuable opportunity for many graduates. Unfortunately, however, there are some work environments that may be difficult for graduates, and this is not always the graduate's personal reason.
People who have changed jobs many times have found that companies that are not suitable for long-term employment can discern some clues during interviews. Many elders may have changed jobs only a few times before retiring, especially in the era of state-owned enterprises, and some may have spent their entire careers in one company, and even their children have been able to take over positions.
However, it is obviously too one-sided to define the current graduate generation in this way of thinking. Unless they can get the establishment and enjoy the "public meal", it is very common for most ordinary college students to leave their jobs and change jobs.
Some things need to be looked at from multiple perspectives, and changing jobs more often can actually accumulate some valuable experience. Some people shared their own judgment criteria: some companies are not suitable for long-term work, and you can get a general idea during the interview, and understanding it early can reduce the chance of detours.
Friendliness of the HR department: Influenced by management.
The personnel in charge of recruitment are the "first contact" between graduates and the company. If management is focused on recruiting new employees, they will naturally be advised to make a good first impression on candidates.
The enthusiasm of the HR staff does not necessarily mean that the rest of the company will be equally friendly. However, if even the HR staff is relatively arrogant or indifferent, it is likely that the position being hired is low in the company, or the company's management style is not friendly to new employees.
Working environment and equipment: Assess the degree of user-friendliness.
Many graduates may mistakenly think that choosing large companies or companies with high-end names means that they are more standardized than small and medium-sized companies. In reality, this is not the case, and sometimes big businesses are not necessarily more human.
Choosing a location that is too remote may indicate that the company is more demanding on costs and may not be satisfied with the salary level. The condition of the hardware in the office, whether the equipment is replaced with outdated equipment, and whether the company considers the basic convenience of employees, may affect whether graduates will face unilateral demands for payment and no improvement in their remuneration at work.
The interviewer's way of answering the question: judging whether the recruitment is sincere.
Sometimes it's not that college students lack the perseverance to continue to develop in a position, but that some companies may just want to find "temporary workers" when hiring. After recruiting new employees during the peak season, it may be possible to find some reasons for graduates to resign on their own before the newcomers officially become regulars.
During the interview, the candidate is usually allowed to ask questions. At this time, you can ask some questions about five insurances and one housing fund, whether there are old employees in the position, etc. If the other party really wants to find a stable employee, the answer will be direct and clear, and an ambiguous answer may mean something else.
Graduates want to avoid detours when looking for jobs, not only to try more, but also to make good use of "network information":
Many things are like "ponies crossing a river", and it is difficult to get a true understanding without experiencing it firsthand. Many experienced people have also suffered losses in the early stages of graduation and spent too much time in positions that are not suitable for long-term employment.
We often emphasize the importance of perseverance, but only if we persist in the right direction can we have corresponding rewards and gains. If the management model of an enterprise is really not suitable for itself, it may be difficult to develop well even if you work hard.
Therefore, the earlier you leave the company that is not suitable for long-term work, the sooner you can find a career worth sticking to. It makes sense for graduates to take fewer detours and try more when looking for a job.
However, changing jobs too often can also be a waste of time, and the next employer may think that graduates are not reliable enough when they see such an experience.
Therefore, in addition to trying it out for ourselves, we should not ignore the "network information" that could have been used. First of all, their own alumni, classmates and even teachers, in fact, they are all networked. By talking to them, you can learn some lessons and lessons.
Secondly, there is now greater access to information on the Internet, and there may be forums or topics within the same city, where many graduates will share their experiences of working in which companies.
For example, I have seen some college students summarize which office buildings in the city generally have a more standardized working environment, and which ones are not very satisfactory. While on the job, colleagues may also reveal the strengths and weaknesses of their previous organization in chats.
Editor's Note] The interview is the first step for graduates to achieve employment, and it seems simple but it is the basis for mutual observation and judgment by both parties. If you pay more attention when applying, you can increase your understanding of the company from some details and screen companies that are more likely to be suitable for long-term work.
