Confusion of applicants and recruitment
It is said that an experienced Amazon operation resume posted on the boss will receive hundreds of company greetings every day! It can be seen that there are many good resume options. I don't know if this is true, but if it is true, it is really difficult for people to make decisions, and even do not want to chat. Even if it is not true, the flow of Amazon's operation position is still large, and people often face the situation of changing jobs. I have nearly 10 years of recruitment experience, including about 7 years of Amazon operation recruitment experience. Through my observation, I feel that the gap between recruiters and applicants is still large. On the one hand, many people change jobs frequently, because they feel that the interview is very smooth and the company is also very good, but after entering the company, they find that the product is difficult to do, the atmosphere is bad, forced overtime, various opaque and other problems, so they want to change another job; On the other hand, the company also complains that everything in the interview is very good. After coming in, it finds that there are many problems, such as no performance, no adaptation to the company atmosphere, and no long-term stability. As a result, the candidate felt that it was too difficult to find a good company, and the recruiter felt that it was not easy to recruit good talents. There may be some problems with the matching of the two. Therefore, I want to talk about how to choose a suitable company when changing jobs as an Amazon operator from the perspective of applicants.
The best is what suits you
Many operating partners do not have much purpose and clear inclination when looking for jobs, which also increases the difficulty of selection; The other is to visit other companies based on what current companies can't stand, so they may fall into another pit. The slightly better ones will list some factors they are concerned about, such as company size, welfare, atmosphere, etc. As mentioned above, it is not a company with large sales, many employees, good welfare and good atmosphere that is the best. A single dimension evaluation is not appropriate. Because the company can't be perfect, one is particularly good, and the other may not be good. For example, if you like large companies, you can accept the problem of single job and incomplete skills, and you can't adapt to other small and medium-sized companies in the future; For another example, if you like a company with good welfare, you may have to accept the working environment of forced overtime and depressed atmosphere. Of course, if you find a company that is good in several aspects, it is the best, but you may not be able to squeeze into it.
What should we do?
First of all, you should understand what you are good at. For example, if you are good at white hat and boutique operation, you should find such a company instead of entering a company that plays black technology; Another example is that your personal style likes to play step by step. You need to find a company that does not seek to make profits by selling out money. But if you go to a company that promotes aggressively, like a bicycle entering the F1 race track, it is too dangerous to force the bicycle to the speed of traffic jam. Your achievements ultimately depend on what you are good at. Don't lose what you are good at to pursue beautiful things, such as flowers in the mirror and moon in the water. That doesn't mean you can't change and make progress? My advice is to master the things you are good at first, then challenge the aspects you do not have the ability to do for the time being, and learn to ride a donkey to watch the horse.
Second, you should know what your goal is. At present, most of us focus on the pursuit of income, which is the first factor to consider. Specifically, it is the base salary and commission (monthly or other); In addition, you may also want to commute closer, have a good atmosphere, and be fully authorized. You need to rank these key indicators that you value and give them a certain weight. Then choose the right company for you through the "ear of wheat theory". Then some people will say that the choice is two-way. What if people don't choose you? I think it is important to pay attention when selecting companies of interest (equivalent to primary selection), try to screen out companies that are big enough for you before the interview, and reduce the variables.
It is necessary to select potential good companies from the perspective of development
This is particularly important. Just like Buffett's stock speculation, it is necessary to find out which companies have potential so as to maximize the income. In fact, it is easy to understand that if a company has developed very mature, or is going through a period of transformation from prosperity to decline, it is not suitable for you to go, especially if you want to achieve your goals for a long time; Of course, companies with poor strength are also not good. They are afraid that their capital and resources will not keep up with them and they will not be able to play their own advantages. If they even go bankrupt after working for several months, they will have to find another job. So how can we identify good companies with potential?
(1) Does the company have a slightly long-term plan. Just like the mission, vision and values of a large company, although the company is small, it also has a slightly long-term plan and dream. Of course, it should be practical and have a method of implementation steps, not just on paper and illusory.
(2) The company pays attention to personal growth and ability improvement. The income we care about is actually the withdrawal of personal value of knowledge, which is a kind of ability realization. The core is to improve their own ability. It is a matter of time before they can achieve higher income. If the company is sparing no effort to improve the ability of employees, the company will benefit as the ability of employees is realized.
(3) The company has a certain fault tolerance mechanism. No one will say never make mistakes, and even some good companies encourage everyone to make mistakes under certain controllable risks, because many times we learn from mistakes, and using no mistakes means never making progress. Therefore, the company should have a certain fault tolerance mechanism.
(4) The company should have certain strength. For operation posts, it mainly refers to capital, supply chain and promotion resources. Of course, there may be other resources supporting black technology. You can get some information by learning about the company's Beijing and the boss's past experience with the boss or the main person in charge. Generally, powerful companies are willing to share their advantages.
To sum up, it is not easy to change jobs and choose again, but the efficiency will be higher when you sort out your own ideas. I hope it can help the operation partners. If you have better suggestions, you are welcome to add.
