After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 8 Drawing Lots
"Little brother, are you here to apply for the position of host?"

Zhou Haoran found a place to sit down, and someone came up to him and asked him something.

This is a man in his thirties or forties, wearing a shirt.

It’s not their fault.

A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.

How does Zhou Haoran look like a salesman?

It's more than enough to be a host.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "What's your name, big brother? My name is Zhou Haoran, and I'm here to apply for the position of salesperson."

"It's me, Ye Hongyun."

"Brother, you can tell at a glance that he's no ordinary person. Where does he work?"

"The Harbor Morning Herald."

"Oh!" Zhou Haoran stood in awe. "That's the corresponding department. No wonder Big Brother looks so extraordinary at first glance."

Ye Hongyun was lifted high by him and said with a smile: "What? I'm just doing sales! Who's capable and wants to come for the interview?"

Zhou Haoran asked, "Brother Ye, are you planning to switch from the Harbor Morning Post to the TV station?"

Ye Hongyun nodded and whispered, "The income of a newspaper salesman is too low. The salary at the TV station is better."

"Isn't the Harbor Morning Post also a state-owned company?" Zhou Haoran wanted to seize every opportunity to understand the current state of the industry. "Is the pay bad?"

Ye Hongyun sighed, "The treatment was quite good before, but in recent years, we have been responsible for our own profits and losses, which is not so good anymore. Judging from the current trend, the newspaper industry may go bankrupt in the next one or two years."

Zhou Haoran smiled, "Not really, right? It's a state-owned enterprise, so there are still guarantees."

Ye Hongyun snorted, "What kind of guarantee is that? Last year, I secured 9 yuan worth of advertising orders for the newspaper. Logically, I should have received a 9 yuan sales commission. But it kept getting delayed, and by the end of the year, with all the deductions, I wasn't even paid 3 yuan."

"10% sales commission?"

"Well, it's far worse than the TV station."

"What TV station?"

"20%!" Ye Hongyun held up two fingers. "Besides, the TV station settles accounts quarterly, and there aren't any miscellaneous deductions. It's much more reassuring than the newspaper industry."

Zhou Haoran understood what was going on and said with a smile, "Brother Ye, you've obviously been a gold medal salesperson for many years, and you're from a related company. You'll definitely be selected."

Ye Hongyun said uncomfortably, "It's not that easy. I heard there are 16 recruitment vacancies this time, and half of them have been filled."

“That’s 8 spots!”

Zhou Haoran is not afraid of competition at all.

In his previous life, he worked in a large Internet company and was promoted all the way in the workplace. He was selected from hundreds or even thousands of people through layers of screening.

Ye Hongyun felt the pressure and whispered, "How can it be that easy? I heard there are two or three hundred people who signed up this time! Many state-owned factories that are about to go bankrupt have received the news, and their salesmen have come to apply."

Zhou Haoran complimented, "Brother Ye, you can definitely do it! I have a hunch!"

Ye Hongyun laughed heartily.

I think this guy is really good at talking.

After making the elder brother happy, Zhou Haoran asked again: "Brother Ye, do you know what our interview process is?"

"Someone will call your name in a while, and then you'll go meet the interviewer. That's probably it... This is my first interview, so I don't really understand."

Ye Hongyun spoke vaguely.

These days, interviews are still a new concept in the country.

In the past, it was a distribution system.

There is no interview process at all. You just go wherever the organization arranges you to go.

Now that we have a market economy, under the influence of foreign companies, some units have also started social recruitment and have introduced interview processes.

However, the specific process is not clear.

I don’t think it’s too formal.

At this time, a delicate oval face appeared at the door. It was Qiao Suiqing, waving at him.

Zhou Haoran found an excuse and ran away.

Qiao Suiqing pulled him to the corner, his face flushed and a little excited, "I've asked everything clearly!"

Zhou Haoran was also quite surprised. "How is it?" Qiao Suiqing said, "Wait in the reception room 101 first. The staff will come to notify you when the time comes. You will form groups of ten and go to the communication room 104 over there to draw lots."

"Draw lots?"

"Yes, it's a test. After you draw the test, you can apply if you're prepared and go to conference room 109 over there to meet the interviewer."

"Oh, that's how it is!"

Zhou Haoran worked in the Internet industry in his previous life and had participated in too many interviews, but this was the first time he had seen this kind of process.

Qiao Suiqing said quickly, "Today is the first round of interviews. We will select 50 from over applicants, and then participate in the second round of interviews tomorrow."

"Okay, I understand." Zhou Haoran was very happy. "Sister Suiqing, you've worked hard. Go back to work."

Qiao Suiqing chuckled and said, "It's okay, I'll wait for you here."

"are you free?"

"The program team has different working hours, so there aren't many people here in the morning. Go home, I'll be waiting for you here. I should have gone back to cheer you and Dongfang up for the college entrance exam. Now that you're at the station, I'll definitely support you."

"it is good."

Zhou Haoran felt very warm.

"Oh, and by the way, the interviewer only gives each person three minutes, and they have to interview over a hundred people in this morning. So when you answer the questions, you have to pay attention to the time limit and don't exceed it."

Qiao Suiqing didn't think he could pass.

But as he said, this is a good training opportunity and he must give his best performance.

Zhou Haoran returned to the reception room.

Wait patiently.

Just as Qiao Suiqing said.

Ten people in each round, leaving in batches.

It was not until half past ten in the morning that the female HR, wearing a white women's shirt and a black skirt, finally took the list in her hand and read out Zhou Haoran's name.

Coincidentally, Ye Hongyun is in the same group as him.

This group of ten people followed the HR lady to the 104 communication room.

Zhou Haoran looked back and actually saw Qiao Suiqing.

She had brought a chair from somewhere and sat there reading a magazine. When she saw him, she stood up, waved, and then gave him a fist pump to encourage him.

Arrived at the message room.

The HR lady spoke softly and said:

"Next, everyone draw lots. Whatever question you draw is what you will answer. You cannot change it. You have 30 minutes to think about it. If you are ready within 30 minutes, you can go for the interview."

"If you exceed 30 minutes, you will be considered to have exceeded the time limit and will be eliminated. So I hope everyone can seize the time and answer the questions as soon as they have thought about it... The first round of interviews is very simple, and you will pass if you can answer the questions well."

"Now, everyone, line up and come over to draw your lot. After you draw your lot, you can start thinking about answering the questions."

She has a wooden box.

There are a lot of small notes inside, which are the questions.

Ye Hongyun was quite concerned about this little brother and whispered, "When you get the questions, come to me and I'll help you with some advice."

"We can't discuss this, right?" Zhou Haoran knew the true meaning of internal competition and wouldn't get involved in such things. "It's okay, let's just leave it to fate!"

Go over and draw lots.

Got a note.

Open it and take a look.

Ho!
Really unusual!
Even in the very demanding job interviews of major Internet companies in later generations, this question is considered to be a very rigorous test.

Question: "Please find a unique number from 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10."

This is the TV station.

The test points are obviously not a numbers game.

This tests whether the job applicant has the ability to think divergently in multiple dimensions, directions, angles and levels after mastering some basic mathematical concepts.

Zhou Haoran took only one look and decisively raised his hand: "Comrade, I'm ready and I'm applying for an interview!"
