Job-hopping is a technical activity---On the correct way of job-hopping

If you want to succeed in anything, you must pay attention to methods and methods, and job-hopping is no exception. In fact, job-hopping is a job of self-promotion. The price you can sell yourself depends on your own ability and packaging. Just a few copies It is unrealistic to try to see a person's true ability through resumes and several rounds of interviews. Therefore, both employers and employees are desperately trying to highlight their advantages during interviews, even exaggerating, especially job seekers, in order to get For higher pay and positions, you have to practice your skills as a speaker. It doesn't matter if you don't have it. There is also a close partner of a class of job-hoppers - headhunters. What they are best at is packaging, and their favorite is Professionals who often change jobs are most afraid that no one will change jobs... If you want to develop upward in your career, you have to make good use of all the resources around you and get the correct way to open your career.

First, refresh your resume on the job search website and post the positions you are interested in

This is the most primitive and easiest way to apply for a job and change jobs, and it is also the least efficient. The method that everyone knows and is using is definitely not the best way. This is something that has been proven by countless people. As a mature professional with rich work experience, just like a fresh graduate, still submitting resumes on recruitment websites, it is sad to think about it...

The reason why this method is inefficient is that, as a job seeker, you voluntarily submit your resume, but as the recipient HR is full of resumes, what do you think are the chances that he can pick you out of so many resumes? ? Even if you are selected, compared to the candidates recommended by headhunters, self-recommendations will not be valued by recruiters, just like ordinary players who brush their resumes to apply for a job, and VIP players who are recommended by headhunters, who can contact HR at any time Of course, the headhunter side has an advantage.

Some time ago, I heard that there was a programmer who had to look for a new job because the company went bankrupt. As a result, he submitted almost 300 resumes within two months, and only got 5 interview opportunities. In the end, only one could make an offer. Yes, the job of swiping resumes by yourself lacks packaging and finding the right focus, lack of communication between job seekers and recruiters, and information asymmetry, so it is easy to fail, even if the entry salary and treatment are not as good as packaged job seekers, and there is another This kind of argument --- all the positions that can be published on the website are too important, and the important positions have long been filled with internal recommendations or headhunting recommendations. According to my experience, this statement should be established. The more important positions are like this, the so-called grassroots and middle-level people rely on their ability to do things, and the high-level people rely on contacts and word of mouth. Therefore, the method of posting resumes on recruitment websites to find a job is more traditional, and although the efficiency is not high, it is very useful for newcomers who have just entered the workplace. It's a good way to jump ship. I myself will update my resume on the traditional recruitment website every one month to see what positions I am interested in. I need to establish a sense of crisis for myself, and it is better not to change jobs. It is also a way to understand the external market opportunities. Ways, such as 51job/Zhaopin Recruitment/Liepin and BOSS Direct Recruitment, etc., you can put up your resume, chat when you have the opportunity, or even go to interviews you are interested in, which is very good.

Second, find a headhunter to help you change jobs

A professional, there are always a few headhunting consultants in WeChat on the mobile phone. I have about 10 in WeChat. They will contact me when there is a new opportunity, and send job JDs via email and WeChat. If you are interested, please go into details. Chat, headhunting is a natural good helper and partner for people who want to change jobs. Although the customers they serve are enterprises, the scouring of wool is two-sided. If successful, the recruiting company will pay the headhunting fee, and the candidate's strength The stronger the salary, the higher the salary, and the higher the percentage of the headhunter's commission. Therefore, he is eager for your salary requirements to be very high, so that his income will also rise.

As mentioned above, compared to the chance of submitting your resume by yourself, the chance of winning with the help of a headhunter will be greater, because some headhunters are from HR or have been transferred, and they still maintain contact with the HR of the previous company. I have seen a company The consultant of the world's top headhunting company was transferred from a Fortune 500 auto parts manufacturing company. Due to the accumulation of years of professional knowledge, the success rate of the people she finds is very high, and the employers and job seekers are satisfied. Why do I I know, because I am her candidate. I was recommended by her once, and I successfully jumped to a company in the same industry to be promoted to supervisor. The position and salary have been improved a lot. Recall that it was the first snow in 2012. It came a little later than before. In mid-December 2012, the year-end bonus was about to be issued. I thought that was the end of the year. The goal set at the beginning of the year was only half completed. Keeping good health is at this time. , received an email that a company in the same industry is urgently recruiting a technical director. This headhunter is named Xiaolan, and the communication is very smooth. Because of her professionalism, the conversation is very pleasant. The usual link is to conduct a phone interview first, and then The on-site interview may take several more rounds, but this time is different. The first is the urgent need. The second is that the headhunter Xiaolan and HR entered into in-depth exchanges, fully showing my advantages and previous work performance. I also communicated and explained clearly the background of the company and the characteristics that need to be highlighted in the interview, such as logical thinking ability, ability to analyze and solve problems, and ability to communicate across departments. This is an increase of 50% compared to the previous job as an ordinary engineer, and the position has also risen. I am really grateful to Xiaolan. This is a professional headhunter, a partner that professionals really need. If I go for an interview myself, it is possible It can be done, but it may take detours, and it is estimated that the treatment will not be so good. Since then, I have really realized the role of headhunting. A good professional headhunter is really a "noble man" in the workplace!

But then again, the level of the headhunting industry is uneven, not everyone is a Hu Ge in the hunting field, and good headhunters are hard to come by. You can make recommendations to them, turn your network into real value, let these high-quality headhunters see your ability and potential, see your network and value, and turn yourself into someone valuable to headhunters, mutual benefit, to last long.

Third, industry referrals, acquaintances/friends introduce job-hopping

People who can really concentrate and work hard for many years in an industry are usually real talents. They are the backbone of the company and also have a certain reputation in the industry. Such people are the talents that HR and headhunters of the same industry dream of, and they can be used when they are hired. There are even some top talents who support a team by themselves. They never take the initiative to update or submit their resumes on the recruitment website. They are always called by headhunters, and they are constantly invited for interviews. Such talents will not easily participate in the recommendation of headhunters. For interviews, they have their own channels and contacts. I have a case here.

The former brother company, in Jiaxing, Shanghai, is also in the auto parts industry, exclusively for SAIC Volkswagen. I visited in 2015, a supervisor Li, responsible for IE industrial engineering, which is also the work of improving the efficiency of the factory production line / optimizing the layout. , He is a good person and has a deep accumulation of professional knowledge. It was not until the beginning of 2020 that I learned that he was pushed to the wholly-owned company headquartered in China and took the position of the manager of the engineering department. It is not surprising at all. At the time, senior positions were recommended internally, and many bosses had contacts and candidates. This director Li was the acquaintance route. The technical director of the new company was his former boss. Now, I don't need any HR headhunters. It's so simple and rude. It really proves the traditional Chinese saying that "there are people in the DPRK who are easy to handle." Why am I not having this luck? Ha ha
