Uniqlo's unforgettable job-hunting experience in the interview

Uniqlo's unforgettable job-hunting experience in the interview

I happened to see the online application of Uniqlo on 5 1job, but I didn't know much about it at that time, so I applied at will. At that time, I was the head teacher of the civil servant training institution, and my life was very fulfilling. I feel very good when I realize that many people, many good teachers and many in-service students of the same age or older call me Mr. Zhang. One day after class, I received a message saying that there was a Uniqlo in my mailbox. I didn't care much at the time. I didn't open the mailbox on the computer until I returned to the dormitory the next day. I just stayed in Tuhua for more than ten days, and I have a lot of feelings about some reasoning problems and mathematical calculations. I took a manuscript and rustled it down, pressed submit, and received a notice two days later: Huanong No.3 Teaching Building, 65438+ 0: 45 pm; On the same day, I went to a guarantee company in guangzhou east railway station for an interview. Because I went early, I felt that the interviewer was very good and the meeting went smoothly for the first time. After the meeting, I went to eat. Because I have a meeting with Uniqlo in the afternoon, I don't plan to go back to school, so I just stroll around. Coincidentally, I saw a Uniqlo store on the subway in guangzhou east railway station. It was really good, with self-help shopping style, bright warehouse shopping environment, and that kind of 10-second one: I watched it several times, and I just saw their manager checking the store. I'm about to summon up the courage to chat with him, because I heard that their store has a good service attitude, and Uniqlo's service concept is to impress customers rather than satisfy them. But at this moment, my mobile phone just rang, and I got a call saying that the boss of the guarantee company finally wanted to see me just now and just came back. Their boss gave me the feeling of being secular and asking realistic questions. He asked you directly what your social relationship was. After coming to their company, he has to do both personnel work and business, often working overtime, and his salary starts at 2000. I don't think their company has a perfect system. At that time, I had no passion to meet again, and he might have seen it. Asked if I really wanted to go to their company, my answer dragged on deliberately, thinking … otherwise I wouldn't have come for an interview so early. Then he nodded and asked me when I could go to work. I might not know, and then said that the personnel department would inform me. It's almost 12: 30, and I just arrived in Huanong. /kloc-0: 40, the two staff responsible for signing in are very kind. Everyone sat in the big classroom and watched the propaganda film. At that time, I was attracted by their salary and full strength personal promotion space. They watched a promo, and soon it was our group's turn to interview. There is no leading group discussion. Interviewers are two very good store managers and sisters. First, they each introduce themselves for one minute. There is Huanong University. Guanggong, China Normal University and Jinan University all have strong self-introduction experience. I also carefully wrote down everyone's name on the manuscript paper, and it is a courtesy to call them by their first names when discussing. At that time, I said: Good afternoon, everyone. I come from … and served as deputy secretary of the department during my school days. This not only helped me learn the writing skills of various official documents, but also improved my communication and cooperation ability with them. Actively coordinate the big and small issues in the class, improve their leadership ability, and more importantly, cultivate their awareness of serving others. I also participated in many related sales activities outside school, such as mobile phone promotion and weekly sales. Let me learn to think from the customer's point of view. What can our products bring to them? Joining Uniqlo may be because of my childhood dream, because our family is in the clothing retail industry and has helped in the store since childhood, especially on weekends. Every time I see a customer buy satisfactory clothes and leave happily, a sense of happiness and accomplishment arises spontaneously. Uniqlo provides a good platform for us young people who have ideals, passion and dare to challenge. I am eager to join this group. Thank you, I have a loud and confident voice. I saw my sister nodding and smiling at me all the time. Maybe everyone in the service industry has this habit, but anyway, her sweet smile makes me not nervous at all.

Then, the topic of discussion is: Does Uniqlo want to invite celebrity endorsements or anime endorsements, which propaganda method is better? No sooner had I finished reading a few words than No.1 said: Please read and think for two minutes first, and then we will vote. Then the girl from CUHK said, let me time! As we all know, the leaders, timekeepers and summarizers in group discussions are most easily attracted by interviewers. At that time, my heart gave a jerk. No, I must express my views quickly. Two minutes later, the same boy chose an animated endorsement, and the other three chose a star. At this time, the leader said that the animator should explain the reason first, which is just right. I said to issue a limited edition, because it can better grasp the eyes of consumers, reach a certain sales volume in a short time, and enhance the popularity of Uniqlo. After all, Japanese cartoons and American Disney are the favorites of many men, women and children, but celebrity endorsements like Sun Li or Chen Kun are definitely one-sided. Many people will not like it or some stars have negative news, which will affect our brand image. From the cost point of view, celebrity endorsement is also expensive.

Although you can feel the charm of Uniqlo clothing visually and audibly, the limited edition can directly bring long-term business to the store. As soon as I finished, two opponents raised their hands and said they wanted to change to our point of view, because I probably said everything, and then the discussion revolved around this point. The one who spoke as a celebrity spoke well and was more opinionated, and then we summarized it. Nobita pointed at me and asked me to summarize, so I roughly repeated what I just said, and then asked if you had anything to add. They said no, and then we quietly looked at HR's sister and asked a representative to post, "Oh, my gosh, I just said it, and I immediately thought that I had just said so much, so I should pay attention to teamwork and give her the opportunity, so I smiled and said that the girl from CUHK should do it, but, but, she said I should do it, and handed me her notes. Isn't this a trap for me? Forget it, I'll take it with my hand and smile, then I'll speak on behalf of our team. Can you accept national dispatch? After we answered them one by one, we went back to the end. After coming out, we felt very uneasy and felt that we had gone too far. Maybe it's over. I should have been informed within three days, but the phone still didn't respond the next day, and my heart was getting cold. However, at eight o'clock the next morning, I received a second notice, and I was very excited. Then I had to prepare actively. I read a lot of books online, downloaded more than 20 pages of information, and slowly read the history and culture of Uniqlo enterprises.

The more I know about this company, the more I like it, and I understand why it can enter the top 500 in the world and why it should be the first in the world in 2020. Interviewers who meet both sides will be Japanese and translators. Because I know Japanese manners very well, I prepared Japanese etiquette the night before the interview, reminding myself to answer questions concisely and logically, otherwise my translation sister will interrupt you and won't help you translate. I came to jing xing Sadian with trepidation. When I checked in, I found that the girls from China University who supported her views also entered the second side. I'm glad to sit down and chat with her. It's more relaxed. At this time, a man from China came out to read our names, three women and two men, and once again gathered in Europe. I thought he was a worker. Unexpectedly, after going in with him, he sat in the interviewer's seat and introduced: Hello, I'm Zhang Shiyu, the manager of South China, and I'm here to interview you today ... Six groups of interviewers, the only interviewers in China, and I'll draw. Well, I'm number 3, and I've been asking again and again from beginning to end. Fortunately, I have enough time to think and introduce myself first. What I said was almost one-sided, but when it was my turn to introduce myself, I walked into a girl. There were six people in the original group, and she was late. Manager Zhang interrupted me and asked me how the girl came now. Just put me aside, and I smiled and waited for her to finish. Seriously, she may be nervous and not very talkative, and then it's my turn. I said with a smile, I just said that I ... and then asked a question: Uniqlo ranked first in China in 20 12 and first in the world in 2020. If you are the manager of Uniqlo, what can you do for this goal? Boy No.1 said I want to strengthen publicity and open the market, BALALA, and then I was interrupted and said, I know what you said is: publicity strategy, anything else? Then the first person said: I want to have a winning team, and then I will use my second finger to talk about talent strategy during the interview. Anything else? The boy said something else, but it was similar to the previous two points, and the second woman said something similar. When it's my turn, I can't repeat it because the common views have been said. Me:

If I am lucky enough to join Uniqlo, as a store manager, my professional skills must pass, and I must have the highest sense of responsibility for this store. I really regard it as my own store. What happened? I am the last line of this store, and I will stick to it. Secondly, I want to cultivate my subordinates and an excellent team. We will fight side by side. The manager is just a title, and everyone is the operator of this store, just responsible for the scope. Then I want attractive stores, not only fashionable clothes, but also our main products to be displayed in an orderly way, to ensure that the colors and quantities are complete, to provide customers with an environment that is easy to choose and buy, and to strive to increase the turnover of our stores by 30%, 40% or even more. Perhaps the increase of a store's turnover has little effect on the goal of being the world's number one, but we have excellent troops and disperse them. This is an exponential effect. I believe in 2020. When I said it again, the interviewer kept taking notes, which made me more confident. The second question: What kind of leadership role have you played, what difficulties have you encountered and how to deal with them? Others have had great experiences. What kind of national competitions are there? How can they win prizes through hard work? I said I was an intern at the Agricultural Bank of China and brought more than 30 people. What should I do if I suddenly have to pay an annual fee for my student card? Another question is: your career plan is similar to one side, and then it's our turn to ask him. "Left or right" and "right" interviewers turned black and said, that's over 30? I'm actually 28 years old, and then the first man tried to eliminate the embarrassment at that time, but the interviewer said, you've run out of opportunities to ask questions, and then the interview is over. I feel very sorry for that boy, and I feel really killed directly. Because I feel good about myself, Manager Zhang also made a lot of notes in my column, so I am more confident to enter the finals. Sure enough, I received the last notice of hitting my face at eight o'clock the next morning.

The interview time was 15 in the business center on the sixth floor of the Westin Guangzhou, and the interviewer was very tired. I arrived an hour early that day. I didn't want to go in so early, so I strolled around the community below. It's a five-star hotel with excellent service attitude. I helped to press the elevator, asked to wash my mobile phone, and led the way myself. After I signed in, I sat on the sofa outside, another European party, and it was a group meeting, Guangzhou. People are really as good as the legend. The terminal surface adopts the form of group surface, with an average of about 2 questions per person. Because the boys in the same group are particularly wordy, they can answer every question ten miles away. I try to be concise when I am interrupted several times, because the boys talk too much and we are not allowed to ask questions at the end of time. According to the check-in order, we sat opposite Pan Ning's brother in turn. Friar Pan Ning first asked us to introduce ourselves in order, and there was no time limit. Later, Pan Ning's brother asked, Uniqlo's recruitment is now the third round. Why did we miss the first two rounds? Whoever thinks it over first will say it first. I feel that he should have interviewed thousands of people in Qian Qian. I can see your thoughts at a glance, so I want to give a sincere answer. I said: the most common problem we senior students usually encounter is to find a job. When I told my friends that I had been seriously preparing for the interview of Uniqlo recently, many people said that they had never heard of it, and I had not noticed the recruitment before. Is it because Uniqlo didn't give enough publicity to our college students? "But many people from Guangjin also came to attend the interview." "Our employment in Guangjin was mainly in banks, and I once worked as an intern in China Agricultural Bank. However, during the two-month internship, the bank's work is more suitable for people who pursue stability. I think about what I am doing every day. That's not my dream. I need a challenging job. I'm glad I can catch up with Uniqlo on three sides. Then I praised it for being so good and how much I wanted to join this group. ) I feel so stupid. This answer really hit the nail on the head. Others said that I took the postgraduate entrance examination and took the civil service examination. A girl who works in Guangzhou said that she missed an online application and tried to bully her, but failed, and then praised her OFFER. Then in the second round of recruitment, when she was in her hometown, she asked her friends to help her sign up, and her resume was scattered, so she also handed in a new resume. Sure enough, the interviewer read her resume carefully and felt that she really loved Youyou.

Pan Ning brothers will also look us in the eye when communicating. He knows you through your eyes. He also asked you about the selling points and shortcomings of the two store managers. I emphasized my leadership and cohesion. The disadvantage is that I lack experience and adaptability, and then someone asked me: how to improve? I said that starting from the grassroots level, we must learn with an open mind, ask the former store manager how to deal with any accidents before, and plan ahead first. If I really encounter problems that haven't happened before (I really want to slap myself, usually shooting myself in the foot), I'd better not look around. I feel that none of my answers are eye-catching. No wonder I received a rejection letter that night.

Seriously, when I read this letter, I was in a bad mood. After all, Uniqlo is the first job that I spent a lot of energy and emotion on this month. I went from 1000 to more than 20, but it ended with great regret. But I really learned a lot from this process and went through a more formal and standard interview process. Thanks to Uniqlo, 565,438+0Job and my relatives and friends. Believe me, as the letter said, there will be a more suitable career waiting for me. I always wanted to write a fruitful forum after the interview, but I haven't written it until now because of some recent private affairs. Anyway, Uniqlo gave me a rare experience in applying for a job in my senior year, which is worth writing down to commemorate.
