Entrepreneurial experience is a forbidden area that cannot be mentioned in interviews. Why?

A few years ago, people who had entrepreneurial experience were very confident during interviews, thinking that they understood the hardships of starting a business and how to run a company. Of course, even if the business failed, at least there was a period of success.

But once you join the company, you will find a strange phenomenon. First of all, the company has higher expectations for entrepreneurs, hoping that they can create greater value and integrate into the company's system and culture more quickly.

Entrepreneurs find that they are no longer the ones who have the final say, and that they are constrained by too many systems and processes. Many plans they want to implement have also been rejected by others. The gap in their hearts is not too big.

Until one of the two parties can no longer adapt to the other, it ends in a split. After that, one party no longer recruits people with entrepreneurial experience, and the other party no longer mentions that they have entrepreneurial experience.

In fact, entrepreneurial experience is an asset, especially entrepreneurial spirit (daring to work hard, mastering spirit), which many professional managers lack, but if you can't put your mentality in it, it will be very difficult to adapt to the working state, which is why the second There are many reasons for sub-entrepreneurs.

When an enterprise is recruiting, in addition to the outstanding ability of its employees, it also hopes that the employees have a high degree of loyalty and can abide by the company's systems and procedures. Many entrepreneurs need to make important adjustments.

When entrepreneurs look for jobs again, most of them fail. Of course, there are also some objective reasons. If the company assigns important management positions to a business failure, they will definitely not be relieved. If they enter as ordinary employees, can the entrepreneur accept Yet another question.

Therefore, interviewers generally do not treat other candidates like they do. They only need to consider their work experience and ability. They also need to consider the scale of the entrepreneur's previous business, why they failed, whether they can adjust their mentality and abide by the company's system, etc. Wait.

Many people have encountered a similar situation before. They indicated their entrepreneurial experience in their resumes, but the chance of being invited for an interview was very low. After this entrepreneurial experience was deleted, the interview invitation rate improved.

Of course, deception is not appropriate. In addition to being against your own conscience, there are also many companies that will conduct background checks. Once they find that there is deception in their resume, they will directly terminate the contract without taking any responsibility.

So how should someone with entrepreneurial experience write their resume? In fact, if the entrepreneurial experience is short, it can be ignored. If the entrepreneurial time is long, the entrepreneurial spirit and entrepreneurial harvest can be emphasized.

And you can gradually shift your attention to your previous work, and you can focus on introducing the company's system and the results during your tenure in the company. After all, the reason why companies are worried about entrepreneurs is that their work will be unreliable and they cannot stand the constraints of the corporate system.

If these two aspects can be resolved, people with entrepreneurial experience will be more popular, because they have experienced it, can empathize with it, understand the difficulty of the boss, and can consider the overall situation in all aspects.

Everything has its own advantages and disadvantages, just how to better highlight the advantages and weaken the disadvantages, and when looking for a job, you can have a preliminary understanding of the company, such as whether it is in the entrepreneurial stage or gradually stabilized, or has already Is a mature enterprise.

Under normal circumstances, companies in the entrepreneurial stage are more willing to hire people with entrepreneurial experience at high salaries, because their capabilities and resources are rare, while the latter two companies are more willing to hire professional managers to make the company more formalized and professional. .

Of course, there are always exceptions to everything. The key is to see if your abilities match the needs of the interviewing company. If you do, you don’t have to worry so much.

In short, although entrepreneurial experience is a forbidden area for most companies, as long as you have a good position on yourself, adjust your mentality, and then detect the needs of the company, then jobs are not only easy to find, but also good jobs.
