Chapter 48 47. The taste of job hunting

With a bad mood, in the midsummer of 2006, Du Lala braved the scorching heat and embarked on a long road to job hunting. Although she was in a bad mood, she was not out of her mind. She repeatedly told herself that anger was only a trigger, and she should not just change jobs because she was dissatisfied with her current job, but because she was more satisfied with her new job. After learning from the painful experience, Lala decided that she must be a C&B (salary and benefits) manager in HR. After being a C&B manager, she can figure out what is worth, what is worth and what is not.

The first step is to write a resume. Lala closes her eyes and REVIEWs her mood every time she checks the various resumes piled up like small hills in order to recruit the right people. She always wishes that each resume has only one page, which is clear, accurate and simple, and uses the main points Mark it in bold so that she can see it at a glance, and the most important point is how long the applicant has held in which position in which company.Those who can do these points will win in the first stage, at least with good logic and empathy, allowing you to complete the resume scan within three minutes.

So she wrote such a resume, which really only has one page, of course, one page in Chinese and one page in English, including gender, education level, and seniority in the industry. It is so simple and clear that it is almost a tabular description, which is clear at a glance. , from what year to what year, a certain position in a certain company, who to report to, and the main performance during the period. After finishing writing, Lala looked at it for herself. This kind of resume with no personality and only data is fine if someone who studies mathematics comes to apply for a job. If someone wants to be an HR manager, writing like this will scare others. It makes people feel that the heart behind the resume is indifferent to the profession.

She took a breath, calmed down, and typed the beginning of her regular resume on the computer: Dear Sir, I am Dulala, female. Bachelor degree, 3.5 years of working experience as an HR & Admin Manager in an US based fortune 500company. Capable and mature, result oriented, a problem solver, 1 would like to apply for the position of C&B Manager from your steemed company. ． ． (Dear Sir, I am Du Lala, female, with a bachelor’s degree, 3.5 years of working experience as a human resources and administrative manager in Fortune 500 companies. My characteristics are mature, capable, result-oriented, and good at solving problems. Apply for the position of Compensation and Benefits Manager, etc.)

After finishing the text part of the resume, Lala thought that every time she looked at the resume, it was easier to remember those resumes with photos. She knew that the resume with photos was obviously more cost-effective, so she decided to generously attach The last one-inch headshot without a hat, no code, and no sunglasses. In the photo, Du Lala looks professional and sunny, looking vigorously at everyone who reads the resume with smart and candid eyes.This is not her current state, she is pretending, there is no way, who would like an applicant with a complex of resentful wives. After the resume was sent out, the interview notice began to come soon.

In the days that followed, Lala dealt with various headhunting companies a lot. The more she interacted with them, the more she felt that they were loan sharks.This feels normal, because headhunting is not actually HR, headhunting is sales, and it is a very stressful sales, because their work is closely related to time, and any work that is closely related to time is always stressful , like a journalist or something. It's not easy to be a headhunter, and it's rare to always be nice to customers, not to mention that Du Lala is not a customer, but a "good guy". Sometimes, headhunters are not optimistic about the match between Lala and the position, and they will become aggressive. At other times, the headhunters think that Du Lala will soon be matched with the employer, and they will offer NICE, which is very NICE.

In general, Lala reckoned that her situation was pretty good, because after all, she was in HR and occupied a lot of recruiting land. Even if the headhunters couldn't sell Du Lala to others, they hoped that they would have the opportunity to sell something in the future. People give Du Lala. The interview on the employer's side is generally divided into several levels. The HR recruiting manager will see it first. If it is suitable, it will be pushed to the HR director. If it is suitable, it will be pushed to the GM and the HRD in the Asia-Pacific region. Lala already has a summary complex, and she always has a strong desire and impulse to sum up, so she can guess nine out of ten questions asked in every interview.Judging from this point of view, Lun should have found a suitable job soon, but that was not the case.

Lala has a flaw, and the time to do HR is too short.Usually, large companies require an HR manager to have more than five years of HR experience. However, Lala is a monk halfway through. Relying on her advantages in administration, she got involved with HR and vaguely called HR & ADMIN MANAGER. To put it bluntly, she has been working as HR for more than three years, and her main job is recruitment.She wants to be a C&B manager, but she can almost say that she has never been involved in C&B. It is all due to the theoretical knowledge of the compensation and benefits module that she learned when Li Wenhua suggested her to take the human resources division exam.The C&B module is the most technical part of several functions of HR. It is full of numbers and symbols. It is a technical type of work.

Since this is the case, it is said that Lala should have been rejected in the first round of interviews. She is really capable, and she always goes through the whole process, so they decide not to want her with conflicting feelings.Those who want her are usually the GM (general manager) in China, and those who don't want her are usually the HRD (HR director) in Asia Pacific. Lala herself thought it was reasonable. Because she has been cultivated by the president He Haode and is deeply influenced by the president's thinking mode, a GM or a president will be easier to accept her. As for the HRD in China, it is not difficult to understand that she is interested in her. Du Lala's ability and intelligence are relatively easy for a person who understands Chinese culture to recognize.

So she passed the Chinese border and was transferred to the next border—HRD in the Asia-Pacific region. It is the most normal for the HRD in the Asia-Pacific region not to want her.Because the HRD in the Asia-Pacific region usually don’t know much about China, and from the HR professional point of view, Du Lala has never been in contact with C&B. How can qishu-qishu-qishu be a C&B manager? After doing so much, the headhunters became impatient, so it would be much less difficult to persuade Du Lala to consider becoming an HR recruitment manager. But Lala insisted that she was going to be a C&B manager. The headhunter felt that DB's salary broadband system probably left a heavy psychological shadow on her.

Du Lala has a reason for Du Lala. She has been recruiting for three years, and she is well aware of the difficulties of major companies in employing people. China's economy is in its golden decade, and talents are needed everywhere. Sometimes, big companies recruit I couldn't recruit people who met the job requirements for a long time, so I had to settle for the next best thing and hire candidates who were not experienced enough but had certain potential. After Li Wenhua left, Liszt searched for six months before recruiting Tong Jiaming.In fact, when the headhunter recommended Tong Jiaming to Liszt for the first time, Liszt was not completely satisfied, and eliminated Tong Jiaming. Later, he couldn't find a more satisfactory one, so he went back and recruited Tong Jiaming.Lala is very familiar with this process. Lala thought, this position in DB, after all, is also a manager of Fortune 500 companies in the United States. There are many people in the market who are jealous of this position. If you can’t achieve a certain level of improvement, why give up such an attractive position? Jobs to hop?Therefore, she killed the non-C&B manager and refused to jump, and waited for some big company to be unable to survive and relax the requirements. Although the strategy is clear, it is difficult to execute.Interviewing is physical work, very tiring.And Lara has two interviews almost every month.In the end, Lara didn't want to go to the interview.But she knew she would stick with it, until someone offered to hire her as a C&B manager. The side effect of constantly going out for interviews is that Du Lala repeatedly emphasized to Zhou Liang and Zhou Jiuyi that the applicants who come for interviews should be treated kindly, regardless of whether they are suitable or not. "Think about it, it's not easy just because someone asked for leave to come out for an interview." Lala said.
