明天面试Amdocs

Amdocs说11点之前通知面试名单。等到12点都没音讯,竟然被笔试BS了?挺郁闷,不过也确实怪我做的不好。不怪人家呀。被人家鄙视很正常。明天9点半还要去大宇宙面试,今天难得QQ上人多了。好几个宿舍装上宽带。明显就人气旺了。下午两点多出去的时候竟然接到Amdocs的电话。让我9点半去面试。真晕。又是九点半。问下下午去还不行。说他们走了。于是改到10点半。时间还有点紧。9点半大宇宙开始面试。然后要10点半赶到南大的爱大会馆301去面试amdocs。如果能去amdocs我还是愿意签的。不过担心呀。现在感觉自己懂的好少。无奈中。

找工作

找来找去找工作。有点累了.不想动了。明天大宇宙二面。也没什么感觉。都不知道想要什么样的动作。昨天在天大做amdocs的笔试。郁闷的不行。看着十题的数字推断。找规律呀晕的不行。想半天都做不出来。然后的数字计算什么也挺累人。后来的逻辑推断更是绕人,图形推断感觉是比较简单了。专业题还好。一会就做完了。C++有些郁闷。重载操作符都有点忘。考的很简单却也很丢人。学这学那的基本都忘了。

富士康

今天起个大早,富士康在天大有招聘会。到天大的时候刚好9点。说是9点开的宣讲会那时还没什么人,坐到中间,一人发了一本介绍公司的小册子,看着介绍就很厉害。富士康倒是知道,就是挺多负面报道。上次国际上报道ipod是在富士康的血汗工厂,一个月就三四百块的工人生产出来,搞得挺轰动。apple都派了不少人过来调查,还有上次状告记者,查封财产的事情,看看网上的东西也是很郁闷。说是下午6点面试。还没去就看的没信心了。到了5点多的时候到去打印还打费了20张,赶到图书馆就差5分钟六点了,出了电梯就看房间里是两个一对一的面试。走进房间等着,听他们在问“你在学习期间遇到的最大挫折是什么”,“你参加的社团”,“对自己三年后有什么理想”噢。这些问题我事先都没有想过呢。坐那想却也没想好怎么说。看见面试官那里空闲了,就上去,
先做个自我介绍,我说到我是福建人的时候面试官到好像是很感兴趣,特地在我简历上注上福建。问下家庭情况,有没有兄弟。在深圳是否有亲戚朋友,想加入什么部门,也没问什么专业事情就让我填个信息采集表。给我个录用通知书。当时感觉还挺激动。第一次面试就被录用嘛。

回来想想富士康并不是我理想的公司。那样的生活也不是我想 要的。最终还是决定不签。拒了第一个offer。应该不会后悔吧。

Open Questions

在HP填简历的时候遇到一个Open Questions的环节。要求用2000字内的英文作答。嗯。这种开放性问题是挺有意思。我得好好想想。

Question1:
Give me an example of an important and challenging goal or objective you have set yourself in your study / research or the project you have involved. Why did you set this goal? What planning did you do beforehand? What challenges did you face? How did you overcome these challenges?  

Question2:
Give me a specific example of when you had to deal with a sudden change in circumstances at your study / research or the project you have involved. How did you react to the change? What impact did it have on you? What did you do to cope in the most effective way?

Everyone has different answers, and these questions have not the best answers. You had better think over these questions by yourself before you apply for these companies.The point is show what kind person you are, not only a answer.
