Chapter 337 4 Rounds of Interviews
Chapter 337 4 Rounds of Interviews
Over the next few days, Lu Ran visited all six universities in Shanghai.
The content of each presentation is different; he never uses PowerPoint and never repeats what he has said before.
At Fudan University, he talked about innovation; at Tongji University, he talked about perseverance; at East China Normal University, he talked about choices; at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, he talked about vision; and at Shanghai International Studies University, he talked about perspective.
Every show was packed, with students standing to listen to the whole thing, and dozens of people surrounding him with questions after each show.
Zhou Mingzhe would send him the number of resumes he received every day.
On the first day at Jiaotong University, we received more than 300 resumes.
The next day at Fudan University, there were more than 280 copies.
On the third day at Tongji, there were more than 320 copies.
On the fourth day at Huazhong Normal University, there were more than 250 copies.
On the fifth day, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics and Shanghai International Studies University combined had more than 500 applications.
In five days, at six schools, we received nearly 1,700 resumes.
Looking at the number, Lu Ran felt both happy and worried.
I'm happy that so many people are interested in Tutu Technology, but I'm worried about how to read all these resumes.
He thought for a moment and then gave the human resources department an instruction:
All resumes are screened first, and those that do not meet the basic requirements are eliminated.
The remaining items were categorized by job position and distributed to the heads of each business department.
Each department head selects candidates from their own professional perspective and arranges the first round of interviews.
Those who pass the first round of interviews will be interviewed by Zhou Mingzhe in the second round.
Those who pass the second round of interviews are sent to him for the final interview.
Four rounds of interviews, layer by layer screening, to ensure that every candidate has undergone rigorous selection.
After hearing the process, Manager Li hesitated for a moment: "President Lu, aren't four rounds of interviews too many? The students might think we're arrogant."
Lu Ran shook his head: "It's not important whether they're arrogant or not. What's important is whether the people we hire are the right ones. If an unsuitable person comes in, it wastes their time and ours as well. It's better to make sure we're on the right track from the start than to find out there are problems later and have to let them go."
Manager Li nodded and said nothing more.
The first round of interviews is scheduled for Saturday.
Lu Ran originally wanted to participate in person, but Zhou Mingzhe stopped him: "You just need to prepare for the final interview first. We'll handle the first and second rounds, and you can oversee the final selection. You can't handle all the interviews by yourself. There are 1,700 resumes. Even if you screen out half of them, there are still more than 800. Each interview takes half an hour, so you'll need to spend more than 400 hours interviewing. Even if you don't eat, drink, or sleep, it will take more than half a month."
Lu Ran did the math and realized that Zhou Mingzhe was right, so he had no choice but to compromise.
Saturday was the busiest day in Rabbit Technology's office.
The corridor was filled with students who came for interviews. Some were looking at their resumes over and over again, some were wearing headphones and silently reciting their self-introductions, and some were chatting quietly with the students next to them to relieve their nervousness.
The receptionist was extremely busy, constantly pouring water for people, giving directions, and answering phone calls and various questions.
When Lu Ran came out of the office, he saw the students sitting in the corridor and suddenly remembered his first job interview in his previous life.
It was the same corridor, the same tension, and I was clutching my resume, my palms sweaty.
He walked up to the boy who looked the most nervous, stopped, and asked, "Nervous?"
The boy looked up, saw that it was Lu Ran, and froze. He opened his mouth several times before finally uttering, "Mr. Lu, I'm not nervous."
"Don't be nervous, you're practically crushing that resume in your hand."
The boy looked down and saw that the edges of the resume were indeed deeply creased from his grip. His face flushed red.
Lu Ran laughed: "Don't be nervous. The person interviewing you isn't a tiger; they won't eat you. Just treat it like chatting with a senior, and talk as you normally would."
The boy nodded vigorously, his expression relaxing slightly.
Lu Ran patted him on the shoulder, then turned and walked back to his office.
The boy behind me was talking to his classmate: "Holy crap, Lu Ran just talked to me! Really? Am I dreaming?"
My classmate next to me said, "Your dreams can be this realistic? Quick, pinch yourself!"
Then came a "Ouch!" followed by laughter from two people.
When Lu Ran heard this in his office, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
These students are interesting.
