Chapter 06 The Hardships of Job Hunting

Please wait

Huang Chu arrived at the entrance, which was already crowded to the point of being impassable, demonstrating the rich talent pool in China. On the wall, there were posters from the recruiting companies of the day, indicating the entry requirements: 1. Overseas returnees and holders of a doctoral degree can enter for free; 2. Holders of a bachelor's degree or an associate degree must pay ten yuan; 3. Individuals with an education level below an associate degree are prohibited from entry. Huang Chu took out ten yuan to buy a ticket and consciously queued behind a line. As soon as it was nine o'clock, the crowd surged forward, but Huang Chu quickly squeezed out from the middle of the line. He was afraid of dirtying his neatly pressed suit, and there was no reward for entering first, so why rush? It was better to maintain a good appearance to leave a positive impression on potential employers.

The middle-aged man handed over Huang Chu's resume. Before Huang Chu could catch it, he had already let go, and the resume floated down gently to the ground

Huang Chuyuan originally worked in the advertising industry. He had seen the recruitment posters outside before. Today, there are only two advertising companies at the recruitment event, and there are only two positions available for planning and publishing. Huang Chuyuan looked at the throngs of people at the recruitment site, licked his lips, and thought, "Damn it, a two-thousandth chance, I’ll go for it"

The Southern Talent Market is the largest talent exchange market in Guangzhou, located in the city center of Guangzhou, where every inch of land is extremely valuable, indicating its substantial financial resources. Talent may not necessarily equate to money, but managing talent is certainly profitable

Why did you leave your previous company

Today is Sunday, and Huang Chu got up early. He washed his face, brushed his teeth, put on his only suit, and tied his tie. He turned around in front of the mirror a couple of times. He felt good. The only issue was that his leather shoes were a bit dirty, as he hadn't polished them in a long time. He found the shoe brush and ran to the faucet to wet it a few times, making the shoes shine brightly. He ran back to the mirror to check again, and thought, well, quite a handsome fellow. This was Huang Chu's self-assessment. He found the shoe brush and ran to the faucet to wet it a few times, making the shoes shine brightly.

It is possible

Thank you

Everyone was astonished as they looked at the boy who actively requested to retrieve his resume, including the middle-aged man responsible for recruitment and the girl.

Huang Chu smiled bitterly, as the manager wanted to arrange for his mistress to be placed in the position, which ultimately led to his own dismissal. Can this answer be stated

Thank you, I once again confirm that my choice is correct

The middle-aged man nodded expressionlessly. "How many years have you been working?"

Huang Chu bent down to pick up the resume when a delicate white hand had already extended the resume towards him; it was that young girl. Huang Chu smiled sincerely at her and turned to walk away with large strides.

The middle-aged man focused intently on the resume handed to him by Huang Chu, not once looking up at Huang Chu. The young girl beside him smiled and gestured to Huang Chu to take a seat.

Huang Chu pulled his facial muscles into the arc he found most satisfying, showcasing his charming smile to the girl. Although he knew that this girl might only hold a position akin to that of a secretary and would not have the power to decide his fate, Huang Chu was unwilling to miss any opportunity. Details determine success or failure; Huang Chu understood the true meaning of this saying.

Why leave

Huang Chu interrupted the middle-aged man's actions with a smile. "I think—I'm not suitable for your company. Could you please return my resume to me?"

Our company requires a minimum of three years of work experience, and your duration of employment is too short

Huang Chu said as he handed over the materials he had prepared

The middle-aged man suddenly asked a question, catching Huang Chu off guard

Huang Chu queued in front of a recruitment booth at a company called Baijia Advertising Creative Co., Ltd. There were already seven or eight people waiting. The recruitment was being handled by a middle-aged man and a young woman. As the saying goes, a man and a woman working together makes the task less burdensome. Moreover, the young woman was quite attractive, so the middle-aged man should have been pleased. However, he wore a look of deep resentment, his expression serious as he asked one tricky question after another. In front of him sat a young man who appeared to have just graduated, looking somewhat nervous, his hands constantly wiping sweat from his pants. The entire interview lasted less than three minutes. As the first candidate finished and turned to leave, the middle-aged man heavily marked an 'X' on the young man's resume with his pen.

After speaking, a comment must be made on Huang Chu's resume

Huang Chu is preparing to go to the job market today. After paying this month's rent, water, and electricity bills with the little money he received from his previous company, he has nothing left. Having graduated a year ago, he feels embarrassed to ask his family for money again, especially since their financial situation is not affluent. He has no choice but to become self-reliant.

The middle-aged man casually flipped through a few pages and said, "Please leave your resume here. If we have further interest, we will notify you by phone within three days."

One year

Please take a seat

The length of working hours does not determine the level of ability. During my year of work, I was diligent and eager to learn, creating multiple innovative proposals that received high praise from clients, and the market response was also quite positive. Please see, this is my completed case.

Can I not answer this question? To be honest, it would raise doubts about my motives, and if I were to lie, I would feel wronged

The moment he thought of that woman, Huang Chu's good mood vanished instantly

Behind him stood a middle-aged man with a pale face and a charmingly smiling girl. There were also several pairs of admiring eyes chasing after his tall figure

Half an hour later, it was Huang Chu's turn. He respectfully handed over his resume and offered a humble smile to the two chief instructors

Huang Chu was very dissatisfied with his answer to this question, yet it was the only answer he could provide

Huang Chu understands that this action may cost him a job opportunity, although that opportunity is quite slim. However, he would rather forgo it. If he has to work under such a person in the future, it would be better to leave now with dignity. A person who does not understand how to respect others does not deserve to be respected in return. Zhang Jing, you say I should change, you say that this is no longer dignity but foolishness, but is change really that easy? You can change if you want, but I cannot.
