soccer8 几天前,终于完成了宝洁公司的最后一轮面试,虽然结果尚不知晓,但有一些感受愿与 大家分享。 |
走过宝洁三道槛 我的应聘经验
最烦琐的应聘表格
从网上投递简历开始,填表已是上百次,宝洁的应聘表是我填过的最烦琐的一项,有12页之多,题目有65道之多。填表通过的人可进行下一道应聘程序。
长篇幅的笔试题
被宝洁初选上的应聘者会被通知参加笔试。在一家5星级酒店,宝洁为我们开了专场说明会,除了向求职者介绍公司外,还回答了求职者提出的所有问题。会后,宝洁请大家喝下午茶,吃点心休息。接着便是较重要的笔试了,首先是中文素质题,都是一些较简单的计算题。如12×24+24×34。或者是数列题,如1,3,5,__,9缺一个什么数字。再或者是一道图表题,分析A、B、C公司的平均增长率谁高,学过会计的同学应该都没有问题。但是有特色的是宝洁把数学和语文很好地穿插在笔试题中,一篇数学,一篇语文。语文就是归纳段意,读后理解。题虽简单,但是题量很大,我答题速度是快是出了名的,六级考试也只用60分钟交卷过,但是面对宝洁的题,我只提前了5分钟完卷,时间为1小时。接着是英语Toeic考试,是一种很简单的英文考试,但是它对中国学生的大脑“摧残”很厉害,100分钟听力题,题虽然不难但是实在太多了,而且只念一遍。后面的阅读是经济分析类的,较简单,大概提前15分钟完卷,但是不能提前交卷。
最细致的面试问答
顺利地通过笔试,接着是第一次面试,又是在另一家5星酒店,考官是一位具有8年招聘经验的女经理,很和蔼。
面试内容顺序大致是:1.自我介绍(考官会把时间定为1-3分钟,需要一定的应变能力);2.你最大的成就是什么?3.你怎样影响一个团队朝一个目标前进,你的角色是什么?4.你为什么应聘这个职位?5.有什么创新的事并最终使得事物向好的一面发展?最后是我问她问题,3个。由于准备充分,这一关轻松通过。
接着便是最后的面试,由于我早了一点来到面试地点,又回到第一个5星酒店,我不经意间听到面试好像是用全英文的(之前说半中半英,又有说是全中),心慌乱了一下,但是立即冷静下来,开始作准备。三位考官分别有8、10、18年工作经验,但是相当和蔼,其中贵为Olay品牌经理的日本籍经理还问我要茶还是要咖啡。寒暄之后,好戏开场,没有什么意想不到的。问题仍然紧锁一面的那些问题,要你提供更多的例子,还有就是问得更加详细了。举个例子,我说我为我们协会设计制作的招募海报使用了创新的漫画手法使得招募很成功,他们便立即要求我现场作画并给出漫画剧情。所以,去宝洁应聘千万不要编哦。还有,事无巨细,他们会问到不能再细的程度以检验真假,不要受他们的引导,是什么就回答什么,我就差点上了当。之后就是等通知了,当然如果你的过去表现和你的面试表现都足够优秀的话,电话会响起来的。最后预祝大家考试成功!
