Q100: Why can the paper clip bend?
After Li Yu got the test paper, he roughly scanned the questions on it and was stunned. Then he turned the paper to the first side again, and carefully checked the title of the test paper.

After confirming that this is indeed the written test question of the company named Third Century Consulting Co., Ltd., he frowned.

Recently, Li Yu has been busy with job hopping. He searched various companies to submit resumes, and also found some friends to help him recommend internally. After two and a half months, he has participated in more than 20 rounds of interviews and written tests.

Generally speaking, the written test of most companies is a personality test, professional knowledge assessment plus some behavioral tests and the like.

The most inexplicable written test question Li Yu has ever seen was asking him if Iron Man and Bruce Wayne went to war, what impact would it have on the A-share market the next day... This question is already ridiculous, but if you insist on it It can be regarded as assessing the logical thinking (nonsense) and resilience of job seekers.

But the test paper in front of him can only be described as outrageous.

Li Yu didn't understand at all why he needed to know how Rome fell when he was doing management consulting. Could it be that the company thought that Constantine XI, the last emperor of Eastern Luo, would still be among the clients in the future?Not to mention that these one hundred questions not only involve history, but also cover a wide variety of subjects such as philosophy, sociology, and materials science.

Li Yu even saw some geographical and climatological issues such as "it belongs to the subtropical high pressure belt, why the rainfall in East Asia is much higher than that in North Africa and West Asia".

For a time, he suspected that the company had no intention of recruiting people at all, but just called a few applicants to have some fun in his boring work life.

In fact, a recent college student who came to apply with him had already dropped the paper in his hand after reading the questions, and then slapped the gel pen in his hand on the table again to express his dissatisfaction.

Then he picked up his shoulder bag and walked away without saying a word.

In the meeting room No. 3, which was used as a temporary examination room, there were still four applicants including Li Yu.

One of the short-haired girls should have just left school not long ago, and she looks like a typical good girl.

According to Li Yu's experience in the workplace over the past three years, most of these girls have a good temper, obediently obey the leadership, and are very careful in doing things. The disadvantage is that they are too obedient, push one step at a time, and have less autonomy.

In addition, I don't know how to refuse, I don't know how to protect myself, and I am easily puaed by my boss.

If there is another male leader with a bad mind, he will probably be eaten to the bone, but this has nothing to do with Li Yu.

One of the rules of survival in the workplace is to not mind your own business.

If the school is an ivory tower, then society is a forest.

Every small animal plays its own role in it, some are predators, some are prey, and together build a whole set of food chains with distinct classes and order.

The short-haired girl didn't shoot up like the previous boys, but looking at the weirder test questions on the test paper, she probably also deeply felt the malice of the question maker at this moment, her eyes turned slightly red, and she clenched her eyes. I didn't cry out on the spot by pursing my lips.

After a while, I probably felt that even if I tried my best to write, I couldn't answer a few questions, so I finally chose to give up.

Pack your belongings and leave silently.

Now there are only three people left in the conference room, a man in his forties with shrewd eyes, a bearded man who looks like an old fritter, a woman in her early 30s who is slightly fatter, looks tired, and obviously lacks sleep, plus Li Yu.

When the other two saw the questions on the test paper, their first reaction was similar to Li Yu's, they were both startled.

But then the man with the mustache rolled his eyes and said, "This paper is a bit strange."

Li Yu didn't answer his criticism, he had already picked up his pen and started to answer the questions.

Six 10 minutes, one hundred questions, the time is still very tight.

It's not that he doesn't know that the content of the written test is nonsense, but he can't help it, the other party gave too much.

The basic salary is [-] a month, and the performance bonus is calculated separately according to the project. Although I don’t know how much of the bonus part is likely to be cashed out, after all, more and more companies like to make fuss about it and play word games when recruiting. .

But even the basic salary of [-] is already attractive enough, not to mention that Third Ji will pay each employee full five insurances and one housing fund, which alone can instantly kill at least [-]% of private companies in the market.

In addition, Li Yu also did a lot of homework before coming here. He searched for this company on Tianyancha and Maimai. Except that there is not much news on Maimai, there is no problem in other aspects.

If I insist, it is too clean. It was established in July 19, and it has been almost three years now. There is not a single legal lawsuit information on Tianyancha.

Law-abiding...not like a company.

In addition, as a consulting company, Third Century doesn't advertise much.However, Li Yu still found some of their previous cases on the official website, and followed the vine to find a few companies or institutions that Third Ji had served.

Later, on the official websites of those companies and institutions, they also found press releases about their cooperation with the Third Era.

In short, after a preliminary investigation, Li Yu judged that the salary offered by this company is quite credible, which is why he came to take this written test.

Even because of the impact of the epidemic, it is quite strange that Third Ji still insists on choosing an offline written test.

But there are too many companies that have applied for, and even half of the salary will be deducted and half will be paid together at the end of the year. He even pretends to be considerate of the employees, so as to prevent the employees from having no money to spend the New Year. A piece of cake.

As for the various and unconstrained test questions on the test paper, Li Yu is not a multidisciplinary talent, and he certainly cannot answer them all. In fact, there are too many knowledge points involved in it, and it is very complicated. Li Yu probably did not. Anyone can do it.

So he first selected the ones that he could write, and the rest he could catch, and the ones he couldn't catch were left blank.

This is the test-taking habit that Li Yu has cultivated in hundreds of exams since he was a child, and it has almost become his instinct.

For the first question, Li Yu thought about it and chose the egg.

The reason is simple. Chickens evolved from dinosaurs, and all known dinosaurs lay eggs, so eggs must appear before chickens.

In the second question, Li Yu wrote down the tool first, then crossed it out after hesitating for about two seconds, and rewrote the language.

The third question Li Yu wrote about the environment.

Li Yu didn't know how to answer the fourth question, and wrote the universal answer of "internal and external troubles", trying to fish in troubled waters.

The fifth question......

Seeing that Li Yu didn't respond to the man with the moustache, he was not angry, and continued to talk, "Did you find out that the questions on this paper have little to do with the positions we applied for, and the HR who brought us to the conference room just now didn't ask for it?" We sat apart, and we didn’t say we weren’t allowed to talk while answering the questions.”

"You mean..." The sleep-deprived woman on the other side was also having a headache from the questions on the test paper, and was quite moved by what Mustache said.

"That's right, the written test this time is apparently testing our astronomy, geography, humanities and politics, but in fact it's trying to test our ability to cooperate." Mustache said his inference confidently.

"This paper is obviously not something that can be done by one person, just like most of the work on weekdays cannot be done by one person. Many companies attach great importance to the team attributes of applicants when recruiting people.

"So I suggest that the three of us form a temporary group, and each of us chooses the questions and answers that we are good at, and then gathers the answers together, and we will work together to complete this assessment."

The sleep-deprived woman was moved by the mustache, but seeing Li Yu at the side still didn't respond, she hesitated again, thought for a while and asked, "But, but... If we have the same answer, will we be rejected?" Is it cheating?"

"It doesn't matter," Mustache said with a smile, "We can generously explain to HR that this paper was answered by our collective efforts, and everyone should hang it together."

After a pause, he asked again, "Where did you see the recruitment information this time? I received the invitation from Boss Direct Employment."

"Me too," the sleep-deprived woman felt that she had found an organization. "So proactive, and the salary is so good, I suspected it was a liar."

"Yes, the recruitment information should be sent out in groups, and our written test is scheduled for ten days later. I guess many people have already taken the written test before then, but the recruitment is still going on, which shows that They haven't hired particularly suitable candidates, probably because the previous applicants are all solo."

The sleep-deprived woman was completely convinced by the mustache, she turned to Li Yu and said, "What he said makes sense, let's do this paper together."

Li Yu still didn't look up, and wrote while saying, "The third era only recruits one person this time."

After hearing the words, Mustache quickly answered, "After the written test, the three of us can compete fairly during the interview."

"Yes, fair competition." The sleep-deprived woman also echoed.

Li Yu finally stopped the pen in his hand when he heard these words, looked up at the mustache, then at the sleep-deprived woman, and said to the latter, "Give up your own advantages and use your own weaknesses and other people's strengths." Head-on, what kind of fairness is this?"

Seeing that the sleep-deprived woman was still hesitating, Li Yu sighed, "How old is your child? Who usually takes care of it?"

When it came to this point, Li Yu believed that as long as the other party was not too stupid to be hopelessly stupid, he should be able to understand it.

Hidden discrimination in the workplace is everywhere. When it comes to the interview round, if it is not supported by extremely good written test results, she will definitely be the first to be eliminated as a breastfeeding mother.

After being reminded by Li Yu, the sleep-deprived woman woke up suddenly. After that, she stopped talking about teamwork and started to answer the questions with her head down.

 I'm back from fooling around~ Hehe, the update should be tentatively scheduled for six and ten o'clock in the evening.New books require everyone's investment, voting and follow-up reading.Let's go~
