What should you do before applying for a job? Do it well first to win the job search
Once when I visited a friend's company and sat on the sofa waiting for customers, it happened to be next to the personnel department, where interviews were being conducted. All the interviewees were aunts in their 40s, who were recruiting staff from the cleaning department. I only heard a very capable aunt introducing her work history, such as a police officer who has done logistical cleaning work in a five-star hotel, etc. The personnel manager in charge of reception also seemed very satisfied and informed the other party to come back for a retest next Monday. The aunt then stood up casually and asked a startling question: "What's the name of your company?"
Obviously, the aunt who did a good job in cleaning didn't get the job in the end. Although her professionalism was very advantageous, a candidate who didn't even know the company name clearly didn't invest too much in the job. Lots of enthusiasm and focus. What I want to say is that mistakes like this auntie cleaning have actually happened to many candidates, especially young friends who have just come out of school.
80% of college students have encountered such a situation when they graduated, and they got together to go to a crowded recruitment meeting, ranging from dozens of prices to hundreds of resumes, and sent them out from their hands like flyers. Often I can’t remember which companies I have applied for, and I don’t even know whether the employers who have received my resume have left a deep impression on me. When I received a phone call to inform myself for an interview, I couldn't even remember what position in which company it was.
Among them, there may not be many people who can really "cast a net and focus on training". To put it poorly, it feels a bit like "going to the doctor in a hurry". All in all, it's still a little underwhelming. The situation is easy to understand. There are often dozens or even hundreds of competitors for a position. I always feel that my hope is very slim, so I have to give myself more opportunities. How can you improve your hit rate and reduce useless work? Then understanding the company you want to apply for should be the first step.

In other words, even in order to prevent yourself from being unemployed prematurely, you should know the company you want to work in before you get hired.
Just before you put your resume in the hands of the other party, if you have done such a homework, you will have some understanding of the corporate culture and related information of the company you want to apply for, and even know what kind of talents the other party needs, or understand When it comes to the specific requirements of the position set by the other party, then you already have a measure to know how much confidence you have and the odds of winning.
If applying for a job is the first battle in your life, then truly "knowing yourself and the enemy" is the bargaining chip that can win. It is not enough to clearly understand your own strength and status, and you should know where the opponent's soft help is. It's easy to know where to break out. In fact, it is very simple. There is only one reason for you to get this job, that is, the company needs you. However, if you don't know what the company is, how can you understand what the company needs you to do? This is a new beginning of the life course, You have to determine the mileage that the boats docked at the dock will travel in order to know if you have enough money to buy a ticket.
