面試最嚴(yán)格的25家公司
????令人絞盡腦汁的面試問題,可以與GMAT匹敵的限時(shí)書面測(cè)試,全神貫注的招聘經(jīng)理像機(jī)關(guān)槍一樣,輪番提問。求職者們,你們準(zhǔn)備好面對(duì)這一切了嗎?對(duì)了,還有趁你不備突然襲擊的怪癖。求職網(wǎng)站Glassdoor.com通過過去十二個(gè)月80,000名求職者的面試評(píng)級(jí)和評(píng)論,列出了25家求職最困難的公司。右側(cè)的數(shù)字是每家公司的求職難度評(píng)級(jí),其中1分為“非常容易”,5分為“極其困難”。 ????1. 麥肯錫公司– 3.9 ????2. 波士頓咨詢集團(tuán)– 3.8 ????3. 奧緯咨詢公司- 3.7 ????4. 科爾尼咨詢公司- 3.7 ????5. 致盛咨詢公司- 3.7 ????6. IT咨詢公司Thoughtworks – 3.6 ????7. 貝恩咨詢公司- 3.6 ????8. 荷蘭皇家殼牌集團(tuán)- 3.6 ????9. 谷歌- 3.5 ????10. 優(yōu)力公司- 3.5 ????11. 云計(jì)算公司Rackspace Hosting – 3.4 ????12. 賽普拉斯半導(dǎo)體公司- 3.4 ????13. 海納國(guó)際集團(tuán)- 3.4 ????14. 社交軟件公司BazaarVoice – 3.4 ????15. 寶潔公司- 3.4 ????16. 為美國(guó)而教– 3.4 ????17. 艾意凱咨詢公司- 3.4 ????18. 瞻博網(wǎng)絡(luò)– 3.4 ????19. 聰穎公司- 3.4 ????20. 史塞克公司- 3.3 ????21. 通用磨坊公司- 3.3 ????22. 前進(jìn)保險(xiǎn)公司- 3.3 ????23. 咨詢公司Headstrong – 3.3 ????24. Facebook – 3.3 ????25. 亞馬遜– 3.3 ????最具挑戰(zhàn)性的求職面試大多數(shù)都來自咨詢公司,這一點(diǎn)并不奇怪。畢竟,咨詢公司唯一的產(chǎn)品就是智慧。所以,他們的面試官偏愛提出各種棘手的問題,比如“多少人會(huì)使用防脫發(fā)的藥物?”(BCG),或者“在飛機(jī)上提供無線互聯(lián)網(wǎng)服務(wù)有多大的盈利潛力?”(奧緯咨詢公司)。在麥肯錫,求職者還必須接受書面測(cè)試,試題中有大量的圖表和數(shù)字,一位立志成為一名咨詢師的求職者對(duì)Glassdoor表示,求職者需要“憑借對(duì)數(shù)字的敏銳感知,迅速對(duì)試題中的圖表和數(shù)字進(jìn)行分析。” ????想到Facebook工作嗎?一位最近剛剛獲聘的軟件工程師建議:“準(zhǔn)備好回答‘為什么選擇Facebook?’七位面試官都問了我這個(gè)問題,看了這一點(diǎn)對(duì)他們確實(shí)非常重要?!?/p> ????很有道理,不過,有的面試官朝求職者扔一個(gè)曲棍球,只是想看看他們?nèi)绾畏磻?yīng)。一位去波士頓咨詢集團(tuán)(Boston Consulting Group)面試過的求職者說,第二輪面試的時(shí)候,面試官“一上來就把腳翹在桌子上(而且沒穿襪子),然后一邊喝湯,一邊說話。這種開場(chǎng)方式太古怪了?!贝_實(shí)如此。 ????Glassdoor最有意思的發(fā)現(xiàn)是:在這25家公司經(jīng)歷過嚴(yán)格面試的大部分職場(chǎng)老兵都認(rèn)為這種經(jīng)歷具有積極意義。更令人吃驚的是,求職困難評(píng)級(jí)最高的公司,員工滿意度同樣得到了最高分。 ????Glassdoor董事會(huì)成員兼網(wǎng)站常駐職業(yè)專家、曾在百事公司(PepsiCo)擔(dān)任國(guó)際人力資源副總裁的拉斯蒂?呂埃夫認(rèn)為,這其實(shí)很有道理。他說:“一家執(zhí)行嚴(yán)格績(jī)效標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的公司才能夠真正在面試中對(duì)求職者的能力進(jìn)行測(cè)試,因?yàn)檫@是公司文化最真實(shí)的反映。因而,他們選中的人都是能在逆境中成長(zhǎng)的人,而對(duì)于無法承受這種壓力的求職者,嚴(yán)格的篩選過程也給了他們主動(dòng)退出的機(jī)會(huì)。他補(bǔ)充道,任何一家公司,“需要將面試過程作為展示公司的窗口,讓求職者預(yù)先了解未來的工作環(huán)境大概是個(gè)什么樣子。否則,如果公司聘用了不適合公司文化的員工,一旦他們離職,公司就得再去尋找新人來代替?!?/p> ????譯者:劉進(jìn)龍/汪皓 |
????Brain-teaser questions, timed written tests that rival the GMAT, successive rounds of rapid-fire interview sessions with intensely focused hiring managers -- are you ready for all these, plus the occasional odd moment of catch-you-off-your-guard eccentricity? ????Career site Glassdoor.com sifted through more than 80,000 job hunters' interview ratings and reviews over the past 12 months to come up with this list of the 25 companies where getting hired is hardest. The number at the right is each company's difficulty rating on a 5-point scale where 1 is "very easy" and 5 is "extremely difficult." ????1. McKinsey & Co. - 3.9 ????2. BCG (Boston Consulting Group) - 3.8 ????3. Oliver Wyman - 3.7 ????4. A.T. Kearney - 3.7 ????5. ZS Associates - 3.7 ????6. Thoughtworks - 3.6 ????7. Bain & Co. - 3.6 ????8. Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA) - 3.6 ????9. Google (GOOG) - 3.5 ????10. Unisys - 3.5 ????11. Rackspace Hosting - 3.4 ????12. Cypress Semiconductor - 3.4 ????13. Susquehanna International Group - 3.4 ????14. BazaarVoice - 3.4 ????15. P&G (PG) - 3.4 ????16. Teach for America - 3.4 ????17. L.E.K. Consulting - 3.4 ????18. Juniper Networks (JNPR) - 3.4 ????19. Sapient (SAPE) - 3.4 ????20. Stryker (SYK) - 3.3 ????21. General Mills (GIS) - 3.3 ????22. Progressive (PGR) - 3.3 ????23. Headstrong - 3.3 ????24. Facebook - 3.3 ????25. Amazon (AMZN) - 3.3 ????It's no surprise that so many of the most challenging job interviews take place at consulting firms. After all, these companies' only product is brainpower. So their interviewers are partial to posing knotty questions like "How many people would use a drug that prevents baldness?" (BCG) or "What is the profit potential of offering wireless Internet service on airplanes?" (Oliver Wyman). At McKinsey, candidates must also take a written quiz loaded with charts and figures that has to be "analyzed swiftly with an acute sense of numbers," one aspiring consultant told Glassdoor. ????Want a job at Facebook (FB)? "Be ready to give great answers to 'Why Facebook?'" advises a recently hired software engineer. "All seven interviewers asked me this, and it's really important to them." ????Fair enough, but some interviewers throw candidates a curve ball, apparently just to see how they'll react. One applicant at Boston Consulting Group reports that, in his second interview, his interlocutor "started by putting his feet on the desk (with no socks) and eating out of a bowl of soup, talking simultaneously. Odd start." Indeed. ????Among the most intriguing of Glassdoor's findings: Most veterans of tough interviews at these 25 companies rated the experience a positive one. More striking still, the companies with the highest difficulty ratings also score highest in employee satisfaction. ????That makes sense, says Rusty Rueff, a member of Glassdoor's board of directors and the site's resident career expert. "A company that has stringent standards for performance will really put you through your paces [in interviews] because that is an honest and true reflection of their culture," says Rueff, a former vice president of international human resources at PepsiCo (PEP). "So the people they select are the ones who thrive on difficulty -- and, for people who don't, a tough screening process gives them the chance to opt out." ????At any company, he adds, "you really need job interviews to be the best possible window into what the company is about, and what it will really be like to work there. Otherwise, you end up hiring people who won't fit in, and you'll end up having to replace them when they quit." |
