Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1031 Interview
Early the next morning, I still chose to surrender, and carried the briefcase that He Hao had prepared for me. I don’t know where she found it. How did I see it, why did I feel awkward, but she insisted that this bag is very suitable? Me, I asked her how much?She refused to say anything, and I couldn't press her anymore, so I had no choice but to surrender.

According to the stipulated interview time, I arrived at the office half an hour earlier.

What I didn't expect was that there would be so many people interviewing, all of them were dressed in neat suits, and the only downside was that many of them were carrying backpacks. Thank you very much for your good eyes.

Originally, I was full of confidence. According to my experience, I don’t think there is any difficulty in this kind of interview. The questions asked are nothing more than the college I graduated from, the work experience I have worked in, and I asked some questions by the way. Requirements for salary and benefits, I have no requirements for salary and benefits, what am I afraid of?
But when I saw so many people came for the interview, most of them looked much younger than me, and they were full of confidence, as if they were bound to win. I have been in the position for so many years, so I can't even apply for a sales manager, right?
So, I picked up my resume again and looked at it, thinking that it would be fine not to make a mistake, but I slipped my tongue.

But when I saw the thick resume of the person next to me, with my color photo printed on it, I put away my one-page resume. I really can't afford to lose that person!

The people waiting for the interview in front started to commotion, and then saw many people holding a form in their hands, spreading out to every corner, looking for a place where they could write, and began to fill out the form.

When the form was passed to me, many people in front of me had filled it out and handed it in.

I looked at the form carefully, and it was just asking to fill in some basic personal information, but I noticed the last one, which asked to fill in the social relationship that would help sales. Find a few leaders' children, use their connections, and start a company that earns the middle price difference.

When I finished filling out the form and called it up, the number given to me was 74, that is to say, there were 73 people waiting for the interview in front of me. Only then did I understand why those people rushed to the front, filled out the form, and handed it in hastily. go up.

When it came time for my interview, the examiners were probably tired, and they were not so interested in listening to the self-introduction of the interviewers. The elimination rate must be higher than the previous ones.

I found a corner and sat in a daze, waiting for my number to be called.

A man in a suit squeezed over next to me. It seemed that he had just graduated, and the suit didn't fit him well. The trousers below were not slim, and they were fat. It might be because of the length of the trousers. The bottom of the trousers covered most of the upper of the shoes. The shirt is not that white, and it's a little yellowed. The only bright spot in the whole body should be the red tie, but once you match it, you're like an upstart. If you want to suddenly improve your grades, you bought a tie for the show!

After the young man sat down, he asked familiarly, "What's your number?"

I waved the number in my hand in front of him, and the young man hummed and said, "What a coincidence, I'm in front of you!"

I groaned and fell into thinking again.

But the young man didn't seem to want me to be quiet, so he chatted with me and asked me, "How did you hear about the recruitment?"

I groaned, "How do you know?"

The young man said proudly: "Don't pretend, anyone who comes here for an interview must have something to do with it. They didn't release any recruitment information at all. They only knew about it because they had internal connections! My uncle is from their headquarters. The leader let me come for the interview after saying hello."

Then he said with some resentment: "Damn, but now it seems that everyone is related. I thought there were only a few people, but I only found out today that there are so many people!"

I asked curiously: "Why do you come to interview a trading company and make it so mysterious? Isn't there a job everywhere?"

The young man looked at me and knew that I really didn't know, so he whispered: "You really don't know? This trading company is a branch of Weihua Group! You don't know about Weihua Group, do you?"

Seeing my bewildered expression, the young man immediately felt a sense of superiority in his heart, and said, "Weihua Group is the predecessor of Wanzhong Group. If you don't know this, I advise you not to have an interview!"

I nodded and asked, "Since Wanzhong Group is recruiting, it should be open? Besides, Wanzhong Group recruits every year, so why keep it secret, isn't it just a job?"

The young man exaggeratedly opened his mouth and said: "A job? This is not an ordinary job! Their company has only been in Chengdu for a few days, and they can pay social security and medical insurance in Chengdu, and I heard that the benefits are not ordinary. Well, it’s all settled on an annual salary basis, and the usual bonuses and commissions are all calculated in units of ten thousand! Also, if it’s done here, it can be transferred to the headquarters!”

I said disdainfully: "Chengdu is a provincial city, the capital of the province? It's not worse than Zhuhai, right? So what can we do there?"

The young man gave me a blank look and said, "Are you really confused? Weihua Group is a foreign-funded enterprise in Singapore. If you get promoted to a certain position, you will have the opportunity to go to Singapore! Go abroad, isn't it good?"

I cut it and said: "Not good! Besides, what you said is too long-term. It was only established here. You are thinking of transferring to the headquarters and their foreign companies. Are you thinking too well? what?"

The young man’s resolute eyes told me: “This must depend on personal efforts. I believe that I will definitely have a chance. As long as I work hard, plus my uncle’s relationship! Besides, I heard from my uncle that the headquarters puts The news that comes out is that the backbone of our Chengdu company will be transferred to the headquarters, and they are all used to reserve cadres!"

I feel funny in my heart, isn't this just a routine?I will draw cakes for you. Anyone can make cakes. The problem is that after the painting is finished, someone has to believe it. A recruitment that is so secretive looks very attractive. This trick is quite effective. It seems The senior management of this Chengdu branch is an expert.

Seeing that I stopped talking again, the young man probably felt that he had talked too much, so he curled his lips, turned around, and started chatting with a woman next to him again.

Looking at the interviewers who came out dejectedly, the people waiting for the interview became more and more nervous. The people who came out didn't say anything, and they knew everything they asked, and refused to disclose any information, like It's like saying that I lost a chance.

When I went in, it was almost noon. When the young man in front of me came out, he was listless like the interviewer in front of me. He looked at me and said disdainfully: "I guess you have no chance! They are too strict. !"

I was taken aback, thinking, no way, in my judgment, this company is not mature at all, besides, it is not a high-tech company, so what are the requirements?As a trading company, can you be eloquent?At most, it is a bit of social background, which can make the business expand faster.

After I was called, I opened the door and walked in. There were four people sitting inside. One of them was the delicate woman who mistook me yesterday. A black and thin middle-aged man, on the right is a young man who is about the same age as me, with a pair of golden eyes, two small eyes, constantly turning, looking very shrewd.

The four of them first looked at me like a prisoner, and then asked me to sit opposite them. The delicate woman first asked, "How old are you today? Do you meet our recruitment requirements?"

I was stunned for a moment, counting in my mind, I didn't see the recruitment information, my sister just told me, who knows what their recruitment requirements are?Then bit the bullet and said: "I just turned [-] this year, so old!"

The delicate woman snorted and asked again: "How did you know about our recruitment information?"

I could only answer vaguely: "My relatives told me!",

The delicate woman asked: "Who is your relative? Is it from our company?"

I nodded and said, "I guess so. I don't know the details, and she won't tell me, so she just let me try!"

At this time, the fat woman next to her picked up my resume, pointed it to the delicate woman, and asked me, "Your name is Fei Chen? Who are you, Wang Xiaojia?"

A big question mark appeared in my mind: "Who? Wang Xiaojia?" Then I began to search my memory. After thinking for a long time, I finally remembered this name. It turned out that the deputy director of Wanzhong No. [-] Factory, how could I have anything to do with him? ?

But he still replied: "He is my uncle from afar!"

The fat woman nodded and said, "Since it's Wang Chang's relationship, let's make an exception, and let's talk about your strengths?"

I thought for a while and replied: "Diligent, positive, and hard working!"

The fat woman interrupted me impatiently, and asked: "I'm not asking you these things, the last item, the last column that I asked you to fill out just now!"

I immediately understood and said: "Ah, I have a cousin in the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development."

The eyes of the four people lit up at the same time, and the gold-rimmed glasses asked impatiently, "Are you sure you belong to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development? What position is it?"

I vaguely replied: "I'm too clear about the details, it seems to be working with Director Qiao!"

The four of you looked at me and I looked at you, as if they had found a treasure, they all nodded in satisfaction.

Then the delicate woman immediately changed her smiling face and said: "That's fine, you go back and wait for the news, we will notify you as soon as possible!"

I oh, stood up, nodded politely, and backed out.

I know, I will definitely succeed in this interview, just by looking at their eyes, I said that this cousin is very attractive to them, but I just made up a character like this, and later I really joined the company, so that I asked Director Qiao to do something, what should I do?This panic is a bit exaggerated.

The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development does have Director Qiao, and I did meet him once, but it was only once. At that time, Tian Xinrui’s mining license was finally approved after going through a lot of hardships. I got stuck and said that there was no quota, so I asked someone to find a lot of connections before I could speak, and after making a special instruction, I got the mining license.I was introduced by a middleman to deliver the report, and only met him in person. I just said a few words, knowing that I am the person in charge of the Yunli Group, so it was a little bit of face.

But if he really asked him for something, no one would be able to see him, let alone take advantage of this relationship. However, the talk is over there, and the cowhide has been blown out. Let's go to work first and then talk.

On the way back, I was wondering, what are they trying to do?Why only recruit people with connections, Wei Hua would not be so stupid, it is unnecessary to mobilize so many people just for a little trade project!This is a nationwide recruitment. I don't believe it. I know there must be some kind of unknown purpose.

In the next few days, I waited anxiously for the news. I thought it was not a big problem. After all, I knew Director Qiao, but it was not the case. There was no movement for three consecutive days, and I couldn’t ask if other people Those who applied for the job felt like an ant on a hot pot.

He Hao knows that these few days are my critical period, so she doesn't bother me much, but she seems to be busy with things, she leaves early and returns late, and when she wakes up in the morning, she has already left. The only time I can meet is every day After she came back in the evening, she asked me to go downstairs to park her car, and she went straight back to her room after parking the car.

I don't bother to ask her about things, but sometimes I hear her anxiously calling or yelling into the phone.Knowing that she probably encountered some kind of problem, it's not good to bother her anymore.

It's the fourth day, I waited all day until 7 o'clock in the evening, I finally lost my patience, I became extremely irritable, and I started to think about what to do next?He Hao's phone rang and told me to go down and park the car, so I went down.

Seeing He Hao's car parked at the door, He Hao was helplessly observing the surrounding parking spaces.

I got in the car and started driving around. No matter what happens, I can always find one or two parking spaces and squeeze in.

I don't know what happened to me today?There are no parking spaces everywhere, even the fire escape is full of cars, and there is a car parked directly on the aisle, and the two cars behind are blocked by him. I guess the owner of the car behind will definitely curse when he picks up the car tomorrow. .

Finally, finally, I saw a narrow space in front of the door of a garage. After the parking space stopped, it blocked all the cars in the garage just now, even if it took up a little space at the garage door. Just block the car in and out of the garage.

After parking the car and preparing to leave, I saw the wall at the door of the garage, which read: "The car parked in front of the door is worse than a pig or a dog!" In eight big characters, I just smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously! .
