In 1999, I entered a small company in Guangzhou and worked silently. I don't think I have many innate advantages. The only thing I have is that I am diligent, self-motivated and hardworking. Three years later, I was lucky enough to enter the largest IT company in Guangzhou and become a technical engineer. I was permanently sent to Shanghai to be responsible for the construction of the financial call center. Less than two months after I arrived in Shanghai, I actually received an invitation from Huawei's personnel department to go to Shenzhen for an interview. The news was too sudden for me at that time. Of course, I declined at that time, because I had been in the company for less than three months and I was not sure about interviewing Huawei. Later, I learned that they found my resume on the talent network. It turns out that Huawei's personnel department often digs corners in companies with similar businesses. I have been working quietly in my company … slowly, from a technical engineer to an independent project manager. Excellent employees of the company for three consecutive years.
Three and a half years later, I had to leave my company because of some problems in the company. It's almost seven years since I graduated from school, and I'm still a real "middle school student". With the expansion of colleges and universities, "undergraduates are everywhere, master students are walking all over the street, and only doctors can shake them." Walking on the road today, I am not afraid of losing anything, and I am afraid of losing this technical secondary school diploma. It's embarrassing to be seen! What's more, I am now in Shanghai, where the economy is leading the country! It can be said that there are many talents. I am just a drop of water in the sea.
However, I have fighting spirit and confidence! I believe in my ability. I once again submitted my resume to apply for the position of "technical support" of Huawei, although the advertisement of Huawei in Huo Ran said "Bachelor degree or above, CET-4". Of course, I have a deep understanding of Huawei now. Two weeks later, as expected, the personnel department of Shenzhen informed me again to attend the special job fair of Shanghai Huawei on March 26th and 27th. When the lady in the personnel department called me, I explained that my education was only secondary school. I hope I can be recommended to the recruitment meeting for a try. She said that we also attach great importance to ability. To tell the truth, I was rejected by ZTE because of my academic qualifications during this period. The phone call of Miss HR from Huawei really made me appreciate Huawei's courage. After several days of waiting, on the morning of 27th, I put on a suit that I seldom wear, tied a tie and went to Huawei Shanghai Branch.
Huawei Shanghai Company is located on the 4th floor of Jinmao Building/KLOC-0 in Lujiazui Financial District, which is the highest level in Pudong, Shanghai and the tallest building in China. I have passed the Jinmao Building here by car for countless times and have never been in it. Walking in today really feels a little different. The hall is gorgeous. Nameplates in Chinese, English and Japanese indicate the names of some companies that have settled in our seats, next to which is the security inspection system. Temporary visitors like us have to borrow a magnetic card and use it to enter the elevator area through the gate (similar to the subway). There are almost fifty or sixty elevators in the elevator area, which is better than Guangzhou CITIC Plaza. I can already vaguely feel that there are many "competitors" in the elevator, because there are many people going to the 14 floor. As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw Huawei's big logo "Wei Hui Huawei Technology". At the front desk, three staff members in charge of recruitment walked into the lobby, which was crowded with people. I saw a recruitment billboard standing next to it, which clearly stated the recruitment position and recruitment procedure. The positions recruited by Huawei are divided into four categories: R&D, global technical support, marketing and administration. Among them, R&D and technical support are the most recruited positions.
I filled out the form at the front desk first, and the staff asked me if I had an appointment. I replied that I was informed to come by the Shenzhen Personnel Department. They asked me my last name, but I couldn't answer it. After receiving the registration form, it is a relatively simple form with one person and one line of information. I first read other people's information: "XX education: undergraduate school: Nankai recent employer: Shanghai Siemens ..." "XX education: master school: Shanghai Jiaotong University recent employer: Alcatel" "XX education: master school: Paris University recent employer: (this year)" are all elites. Whether I like it or not, I wrote the graduation school: Wuhan University, and the others filled in the real situation.
Fill in the registration form and get a resume registration form from the staff: the first page is to let you choose your work place carefully: A can be sent to all difficult areas outside the ball, B can be sent to overseas areas, C can be sent to all parts of the country, and D is limited to certain cities. In fact, I have long learned that Huawei's business in Africa is developing rapidly at present, and option A refers to Africa. For personal reasons, I chose B and C, and the second page is personal basic information, such as name, birth, political views, hobbies, family members and so on. Two points are slightly special: first, explain whether you have any relatives and friends working in Huawei and what positions they hold; second, whether you are applying for the nationality of other countries. The third page is to fill in personal work experience, work content and honor. The fourth page is the expected treatment and confirmation signature. In the column of expected salary, I wrote a monthly salary of 8000. Because my goal now is a job with an annual salary of100000. I carefully filled out the form and handed it to the staff, and submitted a printed resume at the same time. After the staff saw my resume, "Do you have a secondary school education?" Some other applicants in the audience looked at me in surprise and said, "Yes". The staff replied: "We don't recruit technical secondary school students." I said, "Shenzhen Personnel Department asked me to attend your job fair." "Is the technical secondary school written on your resume?" "Yes," I said. She looked at my resume. My resume was written as an undergraduate at the beginning, but it was clearly written at the end. "Can you tell me who asked you to come to Shenzhen for an interview?" "I'm sorry, I really can't remember. I didn't pay attention at the time. " Obviously, this staff member is puzzled: technical secondary schools can apply for Huawei. Isn't this the garden gate? She asked me some simple questions and then asked me to wait for a while. She took my resume. Later, she asked me to wait in the conference room at telephone number 1407.
Coming to the conference room 1407, there are about 60 candidates waiting for the examiner's interview, and the ratio of male to female is 1: 4. Some of them are reciting words in professional English, some are reading Huawei people's internal newspapers, some are reading Huawei promotional materials, and some are whispering. Next to me sat a MM who was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight. When she opened her handbag, I accidentally glanced at it: there was a six-level certificate and a work permit of Shanghai Bell. Hehe, I feel that the whole room is an elite, but I am so small.
After about 20 minutes, the examiner finally called my name and took my resume and my resume for an interview. My heart is pounding. Following the examiner's words, I vaguely saw a yellow note on the form, which read "technical secondary school education, now working in XX, Guangzhou". We came to a large conference room and sat down, which was full of examiners and candidates. The entrance position is the "language test" of the international marketing department, and two people are talking fluently in English. I sat with the examiner, and there was an examiner next to me. One of them asked me about my basic situation, then asked me about my current job, and so on. I answered them all. Speaking of education, I replied, "I do have a secondary school education. Wu Shihong didn't go to college in those years. She changed from an IBM handyman to the general manager of Microsoft in China. Her success is an encouragement to me! " The examiner smiled and nodded. "Let's take a quiz." I said, "I like doing problems very much. Even if I can't do it, I will know what my shortcomings are. " The examiner said, "yes, some people interviewed here are very harmful from the perspective of Jane." Once they are admitted, they know nothing! " I replied: "Examination is a good method, but everyone is also a decorator, but it may not be appropriate to take an examination of carpentry on the topic of plumber!" " "Ha ha, not in Huawei. I have a lot of questions here. You can choose according to your own specialties. The operating system and database are mandatory. " Operating systems are NT, UNIX and Solaris, and databases are SQLServer, SyBase, Oracle and DB2. You are the project manager. I have a problem here, but it may be more difficult. We are based on PMP. I thought to myself: I have used all these databases, but Oracle and SQLServer are familiar with them. Finally, I chose three test questions: SQLServer, NT and Internet, and of course, an English-Chinese translation.
It took me about 40 minutes to finish all the questions. SQLServer answered 85% correctly, NT answered about 70% correctly, because it has not been touched for many years. English-Chinese translation is not based on computers and communication, but a piece of news, about 400 words, two sentences are not understood, and the network is a bit difficult, only about 60%. When I was working on the project, I saw the MM who just sat next to me in the conference room having a "language test"! So fluent! Cow! I finished the test questions and handed the answers to the examiner. After the two examiners read it, the other one who had never spoken began to speak: "Many people in your original company are familiar with XXX, so you should know that I recruited it." I replied, "Yes, we are colleagues." He also said, "I had coffee with XXX, the head of your development center, a few years ago, when he …" I said. Finally, "to be frank: you are very capable." As a middle school student, it is not easy to do this step! " However, Huawei must have its own set of regulations. Otherwise, more than 20 thousand people in the company can recommend their relatives. If you are recruited into Shenzhen Huawei, your education may be difficult to pass. Second, the technical support we are recruiting now is to be sent abroad, and your English may have some obstacles. "I said," I'm sorry, but I understand. " He went on to say, "You are a talented person, and we don't want to miss it. In this way, I will recommend you to our joint venture company, Shandong Huawei, to do the same thing as Shenzhen Huawei, and you can learn a lot. We recommend people from the past. They generally want it. If you go in, exercise there and try to improve your education. ……
Generally speaking, the interview process is not as complicated as the legend. Perhaps the job fair in Shenzhen headquarters is more complicated and strict. Walking out of Jinmao Building, I was wondering whether today's interview was a success or a failure. I think I have competed with so many so-called elites, so many famous masters and undergraduates here today anyway.
Argument 1: The advantage of higher education is that there is a better environment to imitate others.
First of all, education means opportunity. You are willing to work hard, but others don't give you a chance. It's simple. I also let junior college students do things, but I only let them sketch or color matching, and rarely let them contact with design, because after all, the studio needs some tedious and low-tech things to find someone to do, and the 5000 master's degree is to do design, not sketch. Similarly, college students also have many practical opportunities. There are many masters, and doctors are basically working. Imagine that it is difficult to get ahead in technical work, and there is only repetition every day. The advantage of high education is to master high-end information, that is, the information is not as good as Chen Ba. Similarly, highly educated people can easily get in touch with elites, grasp the initiative of information, and even know the direction of the industry, so they can judge in advance.
Argument 2: Higher education means more opportunities and more information.
The second point: a high degree of education does not mean success. Even highly educated people may not get along well. Nowadays, doctors who don't mix well around have the same thing, that is, the goal is unclear. If you want to start a company, you should learn and get in touch with the society, exercise your social skills and accumulate more experience. If you want to learn, you should read more books, study more and do more research. If you want to go into politics, you need to know a lot of knowledge, not only in your own industry, but also in other industries. But it happened that some people, doing this today and doing that tomorrow, ended up miserable! There are not a few such people.
Argument 3: A high degree of education is only a ladder for life to go to society, and its purpose is knock knock.
From the above "the real interview experience of a middle school student Huawei", it shows the importance of academic diploma! Imagine how many of us are as talented as him, but we are blocked by a passport (a diploma). It seems that we should also accept continuing teaching, because now is an era when undergraduates are flying all over the sky and graduate students are shaking!
Finally, that sentence: reading is important, but you must not die.
