1, for market employment information:
Today, it is an era of rapid development of information. To find a company that is most in line with its own strength and closest to the goal of choosing a job, we must first obtain market employment information. Employment information refers to the news and information about job hunting and employment, which generally includes the national political and economic situation, employment guidance plan, the needs of various social departments and the future development trends of various industries and occupations. More specifically, it also includes the requirements of some industries and departments for the quality of employees, the development of a certain profession, regional differences, the specific situation of the unit, such as scale, future, interpersonal relationship, treatment, and the supply and demand of college graduates.
For example, foreign companies attract many college graduates and senior talents with high salary, high welfare, first-class working environment and more development opportunities, and are the first choice for job seekers.
But foreign companies are good, but there is a very high condition, that is, English is good. Few foreign companies do not require CET-6, which is the basic condition. In addition to this requirement, the dazzling all-English forms also hint at the importance of English in the company. Procter & Gamble once declared that "English is just a tool, and truly talented students will not be turned away because of English", and its recruitment form is still designed in English. English will be tested during the interview. Recruiters will ask students many questions in English, which not only tests their comprehensive quality, but also tests their English reaction ability. A candidate spoke English to the recruiter for two hours during the interview, and it seems that he can't speak Chinese. This is one of the employment standards of foreign companies, and this is the market employment information.
There are three main ways to understand the market employment information:
1, news media For example, the employment information in newspapers and periodicals is very extensive. For example, Guangzhou Daily, Nanfang Talent Market News, Yangcheng Evening News and Nanfang Daily all set up job search columns such as Job Search Square, Recruitment Guide, Choosing a Job Today and Talent Market. In addition, China Personnel News, employment guidance for graduates, and employment guidance for Guangdong graduates.
2. Various supply and demand meetings and job fairs.
3. school. Many schools have become specialized employment guidance offices for students, but the media should be regarded as the most important channel, because it is not only the latest and fastest news report of policies and employment market information, but also a huge information officer in its recruitment advertisements, which can broaden job seekers' employment ideas and make job seekers have clear goals.
As can be seen from the above, the scope of collecting employment information must be as large as possible, as specific as possible and as early as possible. "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first." If you are good at capturing and analyzing job information, you will be able to take the initiative in your own hands and have a much greater grasp of job success. Otherwise, at the last minute, it is difficult to grasp, so we have to rely on our own imagination and guess to "follow our feelings" and get into trouble in job hunting; Or passively obey other people's orders and blindly choose according to popular views in society.
2, understand the situation of the employer:
Before deciding to apply for a job, job seekers should have a preliminary impression of the unit and master the detailed information of the unit, so as to "know yourself and know yourself, and win every battle." If you know nothing about the employer, the interview will fail.
Two years ago, a male undergraduate majoring in marketing in Guangzhou confidently applied for the position of salesman of Avon Company invested by the United States in Guangzhou. He thought Avon was just a nice name of this company and had no idea that Avon was a registered trademark of women's cosmetics. So in the interview, when the examiner asked him why he applied for this company, he replied without hesitation: "I like Avon." The serious interviewer couldn't help laughing. This gentleman lost because of this sentence. Imagine, how can a person who knows nothing about his own products be admitted to a salesman?
Understand the basic situation of the employer, including:
1, recent newspapers and periodicals about the contents of the unit, and basic knowledge of the industry to which the unit belongs.
2, the unit's recent main products or business projects
3. Composition of the Unit
4. The degree to which employers attach importance to talents.
5. The history and development background of the unit.
6, the nature of the unit, location, welfare, etc.
Judging from the current situation of white-collar talents applying for jobs, they not only pay attention to treatment, but also emphasize stability, and pay more attention to whether their talents can be brought into play and whether employers are suitable. In their view, in the final analysis, enterprise competition is talent competition, proper employment and prosperity; If everyone makes mistakes, everyone loses. Kongming, a hero of the Three Kingdoms, was full of wisdom, but only because he misused Ma Su and lost his street pavilion, which led to lifelong regret. Therefore, only by entrusting those doers who are knowledgeable, enterprising and loyal to their duties can enterprises ensure continuous expansion in the fierce market competition, firmly grasp the initiative of competition and remain invincible forever. On the other hand, if we take personal likes and dislikes as the standard of employing people and blindly reuse those who are good at flattery but have no real skills, it will inevitably produce a negative atmosphere of "saying is better than doing, saying is not joining the club", which will seriously dampen the enterprising spirit and enthusiasm of employees, undermine the cohesion of enterprises, and eventually lead to a passive situation of brain drain, management confusion and even business failure, and limit enterprises to difficulties. Such enterprises do not even need to participate in the application.
It can be seen that the success or failure of an enterprise depends largely on whether it gets good talents, and talents should also understand the enterprise. The way to know can be news reports, magazine articles and various information books, or friends and relatives. If conditions permit, you can also go to the unit for on-the-spot reconnaissance and personally understand the situation.
If you have mastered the specific information of your company, you can easily get it when you need it, so you don't have to say "I don't know much about your company" in the interview, but you can use your own advantages to explain why you want to apply for this job, so as to be targeted and show that this company is very suitable for your interest. This not only shows your advantages, but also gives people a capable, alert and stable image.
At the same time, widely collecting information and understanding the unit can help job seekers find the main direction, inspect the unit more accurately and objectively, choose the unit suitable for their own development and avoid detours. This requires your calm thinking and clear judgment.
For example, if you go to the talent market, if some units charge applicants registration fees ranging from 3 yuan to 5 yuan, it means that these units lack funds and strength and rely on registration fees to increase their income. Even the minimum recruitment conditions are not available, and it is estimated that it is not far from the loss.
If you learn from other job seekers that some examiners are indifferent and talk to job seekers in a condescending tone, which seems to be a trial, this is the examiner's dereliction of duty, the lack and loss of candidates, the act of killing talents, and the taboo of employing people, which shows that this unit does not respect talents.
In addition, job seekers can call the employer and judge the management level and strength of the unit from the attitude of employees answering the phone. Some units did not leave a phone number in the job advertisement, and no one answered it. Occasionally someone answers, either asking questions or being extremely impatient, which shows that the personnel in this unit are of low quality and lax management. An employee's cultural accomplishment, work ability and experience can be reflected from answering the phone, and the overall image of a unit is shaped by every employee's words and deeds.
3. Study the topics in the interview:
During the interview, the interviewer will ask the job seeker many questions or a series of questions. For the questions that the interviewer may ask, job seekers should prepare in advance and answer them with confidence. The following is a summary made by Dr. endicott of the United States after a large number of investigations. American recruiters often recruit college graduates.

4, clear the main way to apply for a job:
With the increase of talent flow and the development of talent market, there are more and more ways to find a job. Job-seekers should know more about job-hunting methods and use them properly in order to achieve the goal of "the East is not bright and the West is bright" and "all roads lead to Rome". One more method, one more choice, one more chance of success.
(A) with the help of professional intermediaries
This is the most commonly used method for job seekers. Due to China's management system, the employment market is managed by labor and personnel respectively, and the talent agency and employment agency operate in a "double track". The competent employment service agencies of the labor department, including employment service centers and employment agencies, provide services for the employment and re-employment of all social members within the scope prescribed by the labor law. The personnel department is in charge of the talent service organization, which is usually called the talent service center. The service content is the employment and mobility of professional and technical personnel, managers, college graduates and graduate students. When applying for a job in an employment agency, you must know the situation to avoid being cheated and losing your job. It is understood that the approved formal employment agency structure generally includes the Employment License and Employment Qualification Certificate issued by the labor department, the business license issued by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the fee license issued by the Price Bureau, and the tax registration certificate issued by the tax bureau. The "five certificates" must be complete. If there is no "five certificates" or the "five certificates" are incomplete, it is illegal and the copy is invalid.
(2) Attending job fairs
For example, in the International Exhibition Center, more than 600 enterprises set up booths, and nearly 65,438+10,000 graduates applied for jobs. It was a sea of people and was very lively. But it should be noted that there are many kinds of "job fairs" at present. If you go to the job fair to find a job, you should go to the talent market or the job fair run by the talent exchange agency under the government personnel department. This kind of department does not aim at making money, but serves employers and job seekers. It has standardized operation, thoughtful service, high reputation, multiple functions and complete procedures, and once problems occur, it can get a reasonable ending. Pay special attention not to look for a job outside other meetings. Some illegal recruiters often take advantage of the opportunity of the fair to engage in illegal recruitment activities outside the fair. In order to avoid being cheated, we must be careful. In addition, if it is illegal for the employer to collect registration fees, mortgage payments and security deposits in various names at the job fair, job seekers should resolutely resist the refusal and report to the job fair office.
(three) to report to the local education committee responsible for the graduation distribution of college students and the employment guidance office of the school.
Here, college students can get the demand information of many employers, and get the guidance of employment policy and job-hunting skills.
(4) Publishing job advertisements
Advertising in newspapers, radio and television is a good way to find a job. In order to obtain good advertising benefits, job seekers should pay attention to the following issues:
1. Not everyone advertises. Job seekers have good conditions and outstanding specialties, and advertising plays a great role. Advertising is to advertise that there is a person like you looking for a job, and employers are welcome to hire as soon as possible.
2. Choose a good media. Recruitment advertisements should be published in local newspapers, radio and television. It is best to publish it in a special newspaper run by the employment agency. Because employers and individuals also pay attention to these media.
3. write advertising words. Pay attention to highlight your own advantages and state your own conditions and job requirements. The language is concise and wonderful.
(5) Go to the door in person and be a volunteer.
It is also a popular and tried job-hunting method to visit a company in person, recommend yourself, show your work strength and let the employer send an invitation letter for yourself.
(6) Call for a job.
A person with a phone and a phone book calls to ask if the unit you are interested in needs you.
Pay attention to etiquette when making work calls.
(7) Online job hunting
2 1 century, online job hunting is nothing new, but it is the most promising job hunting method.
Online job hunting is rich in information, fast and convenient, which is very beneficial to job seekers and recruitment units.
(eight) according to the recruitment advertisements in the corresponding professional newspapers and periodicals.
Wangtong, an experienced job seeker, said that finding a job opportunity in a strange city is really like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is easy to be at a loss. His experience is: every time you go to a region, you must buy local influential newspapers, read job advertisements, understand the local employment situation, and then choose targeted candidates. He just graduated from Hunan in 2007 and rushed to Guangdong to attend the supply and demand meeting. Because it was difficult to find a satisfactory job at the meeting, he bought a copy of Guangzhou Daily with 1 yuan, read the job advertisements and chose a number of enterprises to apply. As a result, he successfully worked in a logistics company.
(9) actively apply for a job.
The competition for job hunting is fierce. Every job seeker should be fully prepared, know the market, know himself, know the employer, know the general questions of the interview, and know the job-hunting methods. If you insist that "the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley", it is inevitable that "there is no choice but to consume".
