She was too young at that time to know that all the gifts from fate had already marked the price in secret. – Zweig, “The Severe Queen”

Let’s talk about the impact of this nude speech on me, as well as some of my own summary and reflection.

choice

Reason for leaving, eh. . . I don’t want to mention it any more, it’s already a thing of the past after all. Instead of thinking about the reasons, it is better to think about what this naked resignation to find a job has brought me. As for why I changed cities, I have been in Hangzhou for more than 3 weeks, and I only got an offer of 12k. My confidence was crushed, so I thought about going back to Wuhan to find it. Although it is said that you must respect your own decision, since it is determined, you must face it and be responsible for yourself. Of course, in that mental state, it may be difficult for me to keep calm and rational, and I am easily affected by emotions.

interview

As for the interview, in fact, before I left, I didn’t have much hope. My educational background belongs to the relatively poor category, and I always put it last on my resume. At first, I wrote a lot of things on my resume, which filled four sheets of paper. Later, an interviewer reminded me: “There are too many things on your resume, I know you can do it, but anyone can dig deep into any one of them. kill you.” Later, I shortened the resume to 3 sheets. The first page is basic information, professional skills, work experience, and job description. The reason for this is to consider that each HR has a different level of understanding of technology, or even does not understand, they may be based on the JD (Job Description) given by the employing department to compare the technical terms on the resume to judge the matching degree.

When submitting resumes, I generally have two types of resumes, a general resume, which is specially used for overseas investment. One is a resume that has been specifically modified after a detailed understanding of the position. For example, for the requirements on JD, I will adjust the order and rhetoric of projects and professional skills to improve job matching.

If there are friends who want to refer to my resume, I can send you a desensitized resume.

interview preparation

When it comes to interview preparation, I’m actually not well prepared. I usually don’t have time to brush the questions at work, and I’m also reading books and tossing about my own projects during weekend study, so I don’t even think about writing interview questions. Although I am very disgusted with back-to-back questions, because I think that learning programming back-to-back goes against my original intention. Having said that, I really didn’t study well, otherwise why would I not be able to answer it (here has exposed some problems with my study method, learning is learning, and I can’t answer well when I’m nervous during the interview). The display is very skinny. After a few interviews, I finally started the back test questions. . .

Whose problem is it?

The employment environment this year is really much worse than before. At the beginning of 2021, it was still very easy to find a job, with many interview opportunities and many offers. But in the face of the interviewer’s attack, if I can defend impeccably, then there is a high probability that I can get the offer. The problem is that I didn’t do it. Although the interview is a two-way choice, when the interviewer examines your work ability and technical ability, you must perform well.

Let me take my own experience as an example. Compared with the interviews in Hangzhou and Wuhan, the interviewers in Hangzhou are more normal, and the interviewers in Wuhan are mostly stupid (really pure stupid!), and the interview experience is obviously higher in Hangzhou. grade. We all know that as job seekers during an interview, we must guide the interview and let the interviewer ask the kind of questions you want him to ask. In what I think is a normal interview, the problem is mainly from me, bad mentality and dish.

Why is a good interview so important?

Let me talk about what I think is a good interview. The interview is also looking for like-minded partners, or excellent developers. I’m not making excuses for my poor hard conditions, but I still want to talk about those bad “recruitment conditions”:

  • The full-time unified enrollment undergraduate course information network can be checked. (In fact, I can understand that many parties require qualifications, as long as you do not despise people because of their education. When we evaluate a person, it should be his character, not his background and education)
  • Must be professional. (It doesn’t make sense to get stuck at this point, and there are also better careers than Keban)
  • Age and gender restrictions.
  • Working age limit. (There can be restrictions, but many HRs should not equate working years and abilities when replying!)

Here I want to give a little tip when submitting a resume, be sure to ask HR to forward the resume to the employing department, otherwise don’t go to the interview. If the technical interview is not dominated by the employing department, then this kind of company may not be so good. How can a well-managed company leave such an important matter to an HR who doesn’t understand technology? Be careful when facing this situation! ! ! At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the team’s own leader recruits people. If it is to help recruit people, or to leave after recruiting, consider carefully.

In fact, when many small and medium-sized companies are recruiting, the focus of the investigation is very outrageous. For example, many companies in Wuhan only take the eight-part essay test (it’s not about how well you ask, it’s just a mere question), and then see if you can work overtime, whether you can travel, and whether your salary is low or not. . . A better interviewer will look at your personality (whether the candidate is honest and how well you can control your emotions), your interest in programming (whether you like programming, or just for making money), learning ability, and collaborative development Ability (you can directly ask how to work with different colleagues).

reward

From June to July, the interviews were on and off, and I experienced a lot of setbacks. In the interviews, I also understood my own shortcomings, and only by facing him can I make changes. Fortunately, the society taught me a lesson when I was still financially able to support it. In the past month or so, I also thought about changing careers. The money I saved in the two years after graduation was not as much as my dad’s income in June. Especially in the past year, I have devoted more time to learning than to playing games, and there is a psychological gap.

If I don’t go out and have a look, I really don’t know how good I am, because I have always been self-studying, and the interview is actually one of the best assessments. Every time I go to the interview, except for the bus and subway, I basically walk. I read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. On the way, I saw people running for a living, people sleeping on the ground in subway stations, people washing up in public toilets, and I met many migrant workers. I don’t understand, I can’t integrate into this city, I just come out to make money. I’m not the same, I’m just an ordinary person. This is the first time I’ve seriously observed the world since I stepped into society.

study plan

My in-depth knowledge of data structures and algorithms, JVM, and databases are all relatively good places, and they are also some of the directions that I need to focus on in the future. I will not disclose the detailed plan. After all, no matter how good the plan is, you have to insist on completing it yourself. Originally, it was a markdown file plus mind map to take notes and summarize. During this time, I used Jira and found that it is easier to automate many repetitive tasks directly.

future

I don’t know how long I can work when I go back to Wuhan. I’m taking a step by step and I will definitely not go out this year. And I don’t have enough money in my hand if I want to go out. I don’t want to ask my parents for money, and I don’t want to depend on them. This year, the family’s mortgage and debts can be repaid in full, which is a good thing. When the epidemic situation is better next year, I may go to Beijing or Shanghai. After all, I am still young. I will go out to see more and my family will support me.

Of course, I can’t let go of learning. I have been insisting on learning programming, and I am also getting a promotion. I insist on studying English in Duolingo every day, I hope I can pass the test~

In the end, I believe everything will be fine~ I think I can try to find a girlfriend ?
