Little transparent apprentice's way to go ashore

Share with immediate students “ Bizarre ” Job search experience and mental journey .

Hello everyone , I'm fish skin , Today I'd like to share with you one Same school and department The personal experience of my younger brother .

The student calls himself little transparent , Major in software engineering , I'm about to graduate and enter Huawei , Position is Product marketing manager .

His description of himself is unpredictable , Why? ？

Because just one year before and after my senior year , He has experienced various changes in his future plans ： I plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination => Intend to go abroad => Start looking for a development post => Find a Japanese company to work => Resignation , And change the job search direction to product post => Finally landed in a big factory .

One year's experience

Look back at this experience , He felt very Bizarre Of , In such a short time , How could it be changed so over and over again ？

When I learned about his experience , First of all, I admire , Equally curious , Why did he give up the postgraduate entrance examination and choose to apply for a job ？ Why resign and change jobs ？ How can I successfully join the big factory ？

So I immediately contacted little transparent student , I hope he can share his story . Under my offensive , The shy student agreed to come down , And as soon as I write 6000 word ！

Now let's enter his world , From the perspective of a fresh undergraduate , Let's take a look at his experience and feelings .

Outline of this article ：

Job sharing for Huawei students

The tangled road

Say something in your heart , I plan for the future , It's a kind of All of a sudden Self awareness . And the source of the sudden , That's what we did earlier Let nature take its course , And a sudden awakening to self .

Whether one's deceased father grind ？

Take the postgraduate entrance examination for example , Three years before my undergraduate course , Are thinking about their own postgraduate entrance examination , Even in the summer vacation of the second semester of junior year , Have already learned advanced mathematics .

But why do you suddenly don't want to take the exam ？

Rational analysis

Let's briefly talk about my personal situation first , When I wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination three years ago , For one thing, I didn't find an interesting research direction 、 Second, there is no future career plan （ Cobo is impossible ）. One's deceased father grind this matter , It seems that it is still a node at this age , In my own eyes, in the eyes of my classmates, in the eyes of my parents , The right thing to do . So just like most people , I just want to learn first .

If you want to be determined to be academic , And students who are deeply interested in computer scientific research , Then you can stop looking . But this kind of person , After all, it's a minority . For example, I , Just want to get a degree , And I'm really not interested in scientific research . In fact, like this, go with the tide to take the postgraduate entrance examination , It can't be said to be a bad choice , After all, today's computer master's degree is still very valuable , As long as you don't do too much in Graduate School 、 Don't write your resume too badly , There is no problem passing the resume screening of most large factories .

But drift with the tide and close your eyes to graduate school , Certainly not the best choice . Because the first , After all, the job of graduate students is to do research , Water is bound to , But the characteristic of computer major is high salary 、 Looking for a job is more Internal volume , It's easy to cause ： When I graduated , Want to work in an algorithm position , But the scientific research level is not enough 、 Competition is nothing but doctor ; Do front and back development , Development experience is not as embarrassing as some undergraduates . The second is , Master's degree in China for two and a half years or Three years time , It's still a long time , How many three years are there in life ？ Therefore, we should always weigh the three years spent in this golden age , Is it the best choice for yourself , After all, I'm not a child who died studying in the college entrance examination .

I personally think if I work for three years , It may be much more rewarding than three years of postgraduate study , Kangkang Yupi has been studying postgraduate at Tencent University for almost a year , In addition to technical improvement , Other platforms have also accumulated a large number of fans . Three years of Graduate School , Unknowingly, you may be too far away from your peers .

Consider the consequences

The consequences of failing to pass the postgraduate entrance examination are actually very serious , No less than failure in the college entrance examination ！

This is my personal opinion , If you can't pass the exam , Under normal circumstances , There are two choices for the next life path ：

1. job-hunting
2. Prepare for World War II

If you choose to find a job after failing the postgraduate entrance examination , So clearly , You've missed the best golden time to apply for a job —— Autumn recruit . Failure in postgraduate entrance examination , Both in school and on the main battlefield 0 Harvest , In front of the upcoming spring moves 0 Get ready , It can be said to be very passive . Even if you can find a job , But I can only say that if the student participated in the autumn recruitment , With his ability , There must be more choices , May find a better job than now . And the first job , It's very important to your life . So the same level of effort , The effect of applying for a job may be more stable and significant than that of taking the postgraduate entrance examination .

If you choose World War II , Well, first of all, we must think clearly , What was the reason why you lost the first World War . If you don't understand this , Then the probability of failure in World War II is very, very high , At that time, we will only face a more embarrassing and uncomfortable situation . In World War II, we must first face greater psychological pressure , And weigh your abilities again , Give me another chance to pass the exam .

Therefore, after the failure of postgraduate entrance examination, it is really a dilemma . Now the master's degree is becoming more and more popular , On the other hand, it is becoming more and more difficult to take the exam , After all, more and more people are taking the exam . I don't know what to do, drift with the tide 、 There is no problem in pursuing academic qualifications and choosing postgraduate entrance examination , But you still have to figure out the risks behind this , And whether they are ready and aware to take the risk . Especially the graduate students majoring in computer science are really too difficult , The report ratio is too low and there are many gods , So if you decide to take the postgraduate entrance examination , Be sure to make full determination , Be prepared , Try to get ashore at one time .

Fish skin ： Whether to go to graduate school , Every student should have his own thinking and balance like him , Instead of being led by the nose , The choice can only and must be in your own hands .

Final , After a comprehensive consideration , I think education is still more important , But apart from the postgraduate entrance examination, there is no other way to improve your education ？

Of course. , Study abroad ！

Whether to go abroad ？

Why consider studying abroad , The reason is simple . My girlfriend is going to study in Canada, ha ha , So I patted my forehead ：“ I'll go with you ！！！”

But then I got to know it calmly , It is very difficult for Canada to apply for a master's degree , My garbage grade point is almost impossible .

Why don't you start applying for a British water master ？

Although I want to study abroad , But my language achievement and time , Definitely gap A year . The intermediary sister said , One cannot be idle at home , Learn language while working , Than at home “ full-time ” The effect of learning language is even better , And if you're looking for a job, the better , The more favorable it is for the application , best 500 strong ！

（ Now feel ： find 500 Strong and fragrant ！ What else to learn ？）

Well, then my job search begins .

The way to find a job

As a serious software engineering student , It must be subconscious , Will find work in the development direction , It's commonly known as procedural ape . Just right , With the curriculum requirements of the school's professional practice , Together .

Develop a career path

At this time, I probably just decided to give up the postgraduate entrance examination 8 Month. , But soon , I had a big problem ： Looking at the strange posts on the recruitment website , I don't know what to choose , And they basically don't know the skills they need . Oh my god , Are we learning a computer ？！

I participated in some discipline competitions in my undergraduate course , They are all people who are going to work soon , I don't know what people do at work , Isn't this a very scary thing ？

you 're right , So that's why many working seniors , Repeated emphasis Practice early , Know what to do after work early , Knowing that the professional courses taught in the school are all things 50 years ago can't help you find a job . I'm really confused at this time , To pierce the window paper layer by layer . After experiencing the post back-end development 、 Data analysis 、 Game planning 、 Even after music design , Finally, my delivery began to move towards “ a right track ” 了 ……

Briefly introduce my failed job search experience at this time . Failure is inevitable , A born fool is not afraid of tigers , I don't know anything at this time. I don't recite anything , It also has a lot of expectations for big Internet companies , And started my resume delivery . For R & D direction ,211 Bachelor's degree , Enough to pass the preliminary screening of resumes of most large factories , Enter the written interview . As a self enrollment garbage, I'm ashamed , Because at least there are some fundamentals of algorithm competition , I passed the written examination , Entered some interviews .

as everyone knows , The interview for the development post should be made in advance （bei） To prepare （song） Of , So I simply recited some . But I didn't think , After I entered the interview, it was so fun ~

Examiner ：“ What is the difference between a process and a thread ？” I ：“...”

Examiner ：“ Introduce the database index ？” I ：“...”

Examiner ：“TCP / IP Four handshakes ？” I ：“ I didn't choose the online course .”

Examiner ：“…… I always remember the time complexity of quick sort ？” I ：“logn？ 2logn？ log2n？”

Examiner ： “ children , come on. .”

It's really fun , After some tossing and turning , The development posts of large factories have all hung up without accident . At this time, I chose to take the second place and participated in the special interview for professional internship arranged by the school , Got the official of a Japanese enterprise offer And started an internship . Because there is not much technical link in the interview process , So very relaxed and happy .

The direction of internship focuses on back-end development , After three months of internship , Combined with my previous school experience and personal interests , It aroused my deep （zi） deep （wo） thinking （huai） Examination （yi）.

Transfer ？

Take this internship as an opportunity , I began to think about whether I was suitable for development . I found myself having two big problems ：

1. I lack enthusiasm for Technology .
2. When I was working on Development , Lack of concentration and sitting still .

I still feel , Develop this type of work , It's driven by interest and talent , In fact, the program ape selected by God works with people of other types of work in the office , The difference of gas field is really a little clear at a glance . In developing this field , The effects of different interests and talents are huge . To put it bluntly , Can you do development , It depends on fate .

My roommate （ Have talent, interest and ability, have been guaranteed to graduate ） You can... At night 11 spot , While putting the Bluetooth speaker, he hummed a little song , While happily typing the code . And I can't feel the joy of code , And I can't feel the spirit that supports countless program apes —— A sense of achievement in achieving a function . At this time, someone may want to say , There is no eternal talent , Only persistent efforts . It is , Work hard （nei） Bucket （juan） It is what workers must do and adhere to , And what we're doing now , Just according to individual differences , Personal interests , Choose a suitable track and direction , Instead of using effort as an excuse , Regardless of what others say . Therefore, at this very important choice gateway , I finally decided to give up development , Choose the technology you need , But the technical and professional requirements are not so high , It also requires a lot of Organizational Communication 、 Product direction of design planning capability , As your own job hunting track .

Fish skin ： Take a serious look at yourself , Have the courage to break through their own professional limitations , It's very admirable .

Product job search

In fact, at the beginning , I am product oriented for my future job search , It's just a struggle to do two or three years of development first , Or directly make products . This must have its own advantages and disadvantages , Accumulating certain technical experience is very helpful for making products , however There is still a fundamental gap between development thinking and product thinking （ An egg laying 、 A chick hatching ）. Combined with the above, I developed liver immobility 、 So I officially embarked on my own product job search ！

But now it is 2020 year 12 Month. ……

In fact, the recruitment situation in the workplace is changing rapidly , But I just finished the school recruitment as an undergraduate , So dare to dare more bb Two sentences ……

Let's talk about the interview of development direction first . In a big way , The development interview focuses on the mastery of knowledge , To assess the level of development . First, ask questions , Look, the candidate knows or I do not know! , If you know, you'll answer 1 or 0; Second, dig deep into the project experience in your resume or have you used it xxx, For further evaluation . in general , Interview in development direction , Including the written test of the algorithm , Need to be accurate （bei） To prepare （song） There are a lot of things , But the effect is visible to the naked eye , That's why we have repeatedly mentioned that we should Prepare in advance , Prepare early for the development interview （ At the same time, practice early ） Cost performance is too high . But here's the thing , Successful development interview , It doesn't mean you're actually doing it “ Pain ” reduce , Or should we combine the contents of the previous chapter , Make a serious assessment of your ability to engage in development .

Interview in product direction , Especially school recruitment products , It is still very different from development . You must have seen a lot of development experience , So today, I'd like to share the product recruitment skills .

Fish skin ： Although it is the sharing of product school recruitment skills , But after I read it , I feel that many skills are also applicable to the interview of students in development post , Don't skip this part ~

Product recruitment skills

1. Resume screening

The first is education , Basic minimum requirements for school recruitment Product Manager 211 Undergraduate ,985 Bachelor degree or 211 Master is the recommended configuration .

It's simple , There is a threshold for development , Basically only for computer majors ; But for products, although computer major is still preferred , But the profession has been relaxed a lot , This has also led to the emergence of Education The fairy to fight The situation of . For example, I'm not a big factory （ Although it's really not small now ） Hello, during the product internship , Although the interns in the group have a general education like me , But most of them are, for example, benshuo of Jiaotong University 、 Tongji imperial Master Li 、 Hua Li, Ben bin, Xi faniashuo and so on ; I heard that the same professional leaders were interning at Tencent , The trainee monks of the product group are all from the North Teng School of the Qing Dynasty .

Like Huawei, which I signed last , Product managers are different from the Internet , Miss the autumn move in perfection , Communication computer major is preferred , Academic qualifications have been relaxed to 211, Finally, we can follow a pile of 985 Join us , It's still a pleasure ......

In addition, resume of product direction , The white paper template of super resume is the basic requirement , The details will be described in the next section .

Fish skin ： I know some students of undergraduate job-hunting products , According to them , School recruitment product post is really a fairy fight , If you have a low education, you really need to be careful ！ Of course , As early as possible, there are opportunities to start more internships .

2. Early capacity accumulation

It is different from the development of strong exam oriented interview , Product interview not only needs targeted examination preparation , It also requires long-term ability accumulation , This is very similar to spoken English —— Can't attack . Because the product interview , Especially the school recruitment interview , It's not like there will be historical output to ask , The school recruitment itself pays more attention to personal comprehensive quality 、 Potential for future development, etc , So I'm involved in n A product interview , They are mainly chat , It doesn't involve professional and technical details . This form of interview determines that the interview is simple —— It's unlikely that you don't know like a development interview , It's hard —— The interview performance of different people is really too different . And the interviewer himself is a veteran , There are various “ Rich and colorful ” Chat with you in the form of , For example, soul questions 、 Character discussion 、 Pressure injection, etc , In short, there is only one purpose , Play with you by changing tricks , To break your hypocritical assault preparation , To uncover your true face .

So early 、 It is necessary to accumulate the ability to persevere , Recommend several ways to improve yourself ：

1. Internship ： Must practice , Practice early . Sophomores, juniors 、 Summer vacation and winter vacation , Instead of being idle , It's better to practice . Big factories are hard to enter , Go to the small factory first , Circuitous practice .
2. competition ： There are many competitions that help products , And this part is actually very important , But it's easy to ignore . Like the challenge cup 、 Three creations, etc , Mathematical modeling and so on , Because it can be in a specific thing （ Not like most of the student union's self entertainment ）, Train you and your teammates to achieve a goal , And the ability to communicate , This is of great help to the improvement of the whole communication ability and feasibility analysis ability .
3. Shang sai or Elite camp ： Especially for non science and engineering majors , The help in this regard is very great , Like some business challenges 、pwc Summer elite camp, etc .
4. Student organizations . In fact, whether to recommend this , I'm still tangled , Even to remind everyone of lightning protection . Many people will habitually join a student organization when they first go to college , But now looking back , Most student organizations experience , In fact, it won't have much exercise effect （ Especially hospital level organizations ）, Or the competition mentioned above 、 Practice one to one , The effect of exercise is very different . But in my own words , It's a real exercise , Because when I joined the school choir as the head of bass , Independently assume the voice part and arrange it about a hundred times , And went to Hungary with the group 、 Russia played a game 、 Won the gold medal . So students organize this thing , There's a lot of difference , It's very random , Be sure to measure your ongoing student organization activities , Is it worth your time and energy , Or if you're really interested , And try to come up with some “ Fame ”.

Fish skin ： I also worked in the student union for two years when I was in College , Personal testing can improve your organization 、 management 、 Presentation skills , But don't control the time invested .

3. Targeted assault

School recruitment products value daily accumulation , So is short-term assault useful ？ Certainly useful. ！

Although the following methods can't improve your long-term ability , But for a single interview , It may even be the winner of the result .

1. Data collection . Learn and use the Internet , Have a comprehensive understanding of the company you want to join 、 What business does the Department post engage in . Baidu 、Google、 Cattle guest 、 Power button 、 affectionately 、 You know 、 Even post microblog ...
2. Targeted attack . Take my own example, which is very easy to understand ： During my Huawei interview , It happens that MWCS World Mobile Conference , Huawei is one of the main parties . I watched the speech of Huawei in full , And made notes , In fact, in the end, it helped me a lot in my interview . As mentioned earlier, the interviewer will try to break your hypocritical assault preparation , But there are some targeted and careful preparations for the interview , On the contrary, it is bound to make the interviewer feel your serious attitude .
3. Convey... Attitude . Personally, I think this is a very important point in the interview , In the interview, you must show your strong desire to pass the interview , At least you should pass it on to the teacher opposite , You don't care , But want to pass the attitude of this defense or interview . After all, only a few minutes , Interviewers are also emotional people , This may directly affect the final interview result .
4. Say more . As the saying goes, a thousand gold , But in fact , Can say but less , And can't say , Two different levels level. In just a few minutes , Let's try to say more . But be careful not to speak too fast , Don't rob others to say .
5. resume / Introduce yourself . It's good to take the world with one move , However, it should be appropriately different according to the unit 、 Different positions 、 Different lines of business , Make relevant fine adjustments , Highlight your strengths and characteristics under different business scenarios . For example, this company sells roasted sweet potatoes , You should highlight your experience and expertise in the food industry , Instead of highlighting that you are good at repairing bicycles .

attach ： Why do you say undergraduate ACM It's God's pit. Don't enter ？

I rowed in my high school and came to Donghua to recruit myself , From the perspective of ordinary people , I think there are two main features of algorithm competition ：

1. A little more time will make it stronger , So the best way to prepare is to invest all your time .
2. But no matter how much time you put in, there will always be a day out of the sky , Forever crushed by God .

The core of the algorithm competition itself is mathematics , Although it is the same code as development , But the essence is very different , One is relatively hands-on and practice , One is to think relatively . There are two kinds of people who compete well , Or learn early and learn much , Or really smart . The major 985 Colleges and universities have been learning algorithm competitions since high school or junior middle school noi Or national team players , They often learn early and smart , Show your scalp numb on the field , Because the essence is mathematics , So compete with apps 、 Entrepreneurship competition is different , Weak schools are unlikely to win big prizes . Even if you really didn't do well in the college entrance examination and have strong mathematical talent , Don't forget you have two teammates ……

Of course I can lead the team carry There are also some big men in , For example, Donghua ,300 Personally 30 Individuals can be selected into the training team ,10 Two or three of the teams won the prize , One or no silver prize in two or three awards , As for the gold medal, it goes back to 2006 year …… So it's best not to bet that you are the son of the day , Is it really hard to say , If you haven't learned , It still depends on talent, which I don't know whether there is .

Effort is just needed , But don't forget that the choice before trying is more critical .

---

See here , I don't know how you feel .

What impressed me most was ： After constant choices and attempts , Finally I know what I want , And dare to break the rules 、 To open or find a new path or snap course , Embarked on the road they firmly believe in , He walked on without hesitation .

May be confused at first , But not through early participation , Let your future gradually clear ？ Students who are still on the way to black , Can we also think about more possibilities ？

That's what we're sharing , Finally, I'll send you some more Help me get to the big factory offer Learning materials ：

ran , leave 6T Resources for ！

Welcome to I started from 0 Self study and enter Tencent's programming learning 、 To apply for a job 、 Textual research 、 Book writing experience , No more confusion ！
