Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

The first link is where one of the female interviewers introduces the interview rules.

The main thing is the following process. First, everyone will be given 1 minute to introduce themselves.Afterwards, this interview will give 3 minutes for everyone to look at the questions and think.

Then, it takes 5 minutes for 8 people to discuss the assignment of roles.

This is the characteristic of the so-called leaderless group discussion. The people participating in the interview are equivalent to having a meeting and discussion on a topic, so various roles are needed, including leaders, timekeepers, rapporteurs and collaborators. role of the law.

After the roles are assigned, a 20-minute free discussion will start, and finally the rapporteur will spend 5 minutes to complete the statement.

After that, it is the part where the interviewer asks questions, and the interview ends after the questions are asked.

Tao Zhiming didn't know how many times the other seven had experienced this type of group interview, but... the risk is very high.

There are too many pits in the group.

Many people will unconsciously enter the situation of debate and quarrel, ignoring that this is actually a collaborative problem-solving scene, and others are just observing everyone's understanding, expression, emotional control and other abilities.

After the interviewer introduced the rules, self-introduction began.

Didn't specify where to start, because that's part of the research.

Sure enough, someone wanted to take the lead, because he happened to be sitting there first, so he said to the interviewer, "Then I suggest, let's start from my side. My name is..."

Tao Zhixing has two purposes at once. In this link, he can accurately remember other people's names, so that he can make no mistakes when discussing later.The most important thing is to pay attention to the interviewer's reaction during the introduction process of these people.

Of course, a qualified interviewer will not show too much expression.

It's just that at this time, after all, there is no such advanced method as later. First use a camera to take pictures, and then watch the video analysis later.They still have to record it more or less, so that people can see some information.

Listening to the self-introductions of the previous people, Tao Zhiming only felt that all of them were talents.

In the stage of self-introduction, the strengths and weaknesses are fully reflected.

When it was Tao Zhiming's turn, he stood up, his 1.8 meters tall and his newly groomed, clean and handsome image was a bit intimidating.

"My name is Tao Dalang, and I study management at the University of Tokyo. After my parents died in a car accident in my freshman year, I began to live alone strongly. Because I spent a lot of time studying and researching to improve my ability and vision, it may be considered a People who are more introverted have actually grown up to be calm and purposeful."

“I am good at communicating with others, because I have been negotiating independently on the acquisition of my family’s house and real estate agency. During this process, I have conducted in-depth research on the field of real estate. Sumitomo’s status and strength in the real estate industry shocked me very much. , I also saw a great future in the real estate field from this incident. I am grateful for this opportunity to introduce myself, and I believe that I can grow together with the club.”

He told Tao Dalang's family misfortune without any psychological pressure to prevent Yamane Yokohisa from being a moth, and then subtly hinted that Tao Dalang was actually very cowardly during his school days.

Let’s talk about the acquisition of the house. A student at school needs to come forward to negotiate with the real estate company. It is a unique existence among these young people who mostly only introduce their education, grades, club activities, and part-time job experience.

From this point, it is natural to turn to why Sumitomo was chosen for the interview.

Compared with other people's relatively stereotyped and generic self-introduction, Tao Zhiming's self-introduction is the most special and natural. He calms himself down with reason and evidence, has clear goals, has strong communication skills, and is good at learning and researching. These characteristics have been strengthened a bit.

This introduction left a special impression on at least the seven people and the four interviewers.

At least two of the interviewers showed different body movements and looked at Tao Zhiming twice more.

Even Yamane Yokohisa, who knew him well, became suspicious from Tao Zhiming's fluent self-introduction.

In the past, Tao Dalang seemed introverted and cowardly because he was improving his ability and career?

But it's like that... Isn't it calm and imposing now?

After all eight people had introduced themselves, the interviewer finally gave the topic down.

Tao Zhiming looked at it and began to think about it.

Sumitomo plans to use a budget of 1000 million yen to cooperate with a certain university to enhance its image and influence among college students so that it can continue to provide high-quality talents in the future.

Five alternatives were given, each with its own cost.

Then let these 8 people discuss and form a unified conclusion within the budget, what kind of plan to use to carry out this cooperation.

I didn't expect the topic to be so practical. It's a bit like a real topic discussed internally by the personnel department in response to the increasingly severe talent recruitment situation, and it was brought directly to the recruitment occasion.

The room was silent, and everyone was carefully reviewing the questions, thinking about what they wanted to say, and also thinking about what role to participate in the discussion after the meeting.

"Then, let's start discussing the assignment of roles." As soon as the three minutes were up, the interviewer put away the topic.

Even the details of the five alternatives in the title are points that need to be memorized.

The 8 people looked at each other, and the official competition began.

Tao Zhiming did not take the lead in speaking. He was too evasive and did not meet the judgment of Neon Enterprise on talents.

Calmness is his personality.

Chapter 18, Stunning Performance

Each role in the group has its own advantages, but the riskiest one is being a leader.

Assuming this role, it is extremely easy to overturn due to losing control of the field, and often faces competition from timekeepers trying to control the field for performance.

But leaders can also shine if they can handle the scene.

Tao Zhi's favorite is the reporter. As the last person to speak, he can make the final statement directly to the interviewer, which will allow him to take advantage of his calm temperament.

This kind of advantage, used as a leader to guide discussions, does not necessarily have good results.

What if these people just want to argue?

What's more, there is an X factor in Yokohisa Yamane.

The first guy who introduced himself just now probably wanted to establish a more active and cheerful person, so he said: "Let's start by identifying the timekeeper? It's more convenient to wear a watch. Is anyone willing to take on this role? ?”

Tao Zhiming didn't wear a watch, but this guy did find a good entry point, and his speech was very efficient.

Does he want to be the leader?An attempt has been made to lead the discussion.

Soon, a girl wearing a watch tried to say: "I can be a timekeeper."

Yamane Henghisa immediately said, "I can do it too."

He didn't say much, but formed an aura with a more courageous tone.

In the end, Yamane Yokohisa was confirmed as the timekeeper by voting under the chair of the person who spoke first.

In just 1 minute, it seemed that everyone acquiesced that he would be the leader.

At this time, Tao Zhiming said: "Let me be the rapporteur. I will truthfully describe everyone's speeches and final conclusions, and show what we have achieved as a team. Please trust me!"

If someone clearly objects to the truthful statement and the trust card at this time, it will appear that the awareness of teamwork is too poor.

Tao Zhiming got the role he wanted in one sentence.

Once a record wrapper has been identified, the discussion begins.

The topic is very clear, there are 5 alternatives, a total budget, and the ultimate goal: to form a unified plan.

Although Tao Zhiming was the last to report, he did not give up speaking during the discussion.

"...the idea of ​​participating in sponsoring the school celebration, although many outstanding figures participated in that occasion. But if it is not an exclusive sponsorship, it will not make people remember Sumitomo very well..."

"The establishment of a bursary conveys more about Sumitomo's image of responsibility for public welfare. To produce a very good recruitment guidance effect, there is also a long period of time..."

"Sponsoring club activities has too little influence. We all have the experience of participating in club activities. Actually speaking, different people are like two worlds..."

"..."

Listening to their respective exchanges, all in all, they can't be regarded as without opinions.The students who come to Sumitomo to apply are more or less capable.

But Tao Zhiming suddenly spoke in a tone of participation in the discussion: "I would like to add a background, I believe it is very important."

The person who acted as the leader by default said: "Student Tao Dalang, please explain in detail."

Tao Zhiming said: "The economic situation is so prosperous, we can't just consider the static situation. The situation of recruiting students in recent years is different from that of previous years. The financing channels have been broadened, and the amount of funds available to major clubs is greatly abundant. , the talent war in the future will be more intense, is this also a change that needs to be considered?"

These words caused everyone to think briefly, and Yamane Yokohisa said: "It is true. I am afraid that the plan that can highlight Sumitomo's strength needs to be given priority..."

Tao Zhiming pointed out this element, and just continued to listen attentively to the discussion.

But obviously, this point is the main reason why this question was brought up for discussion.

As a first-class company, Sumitomo no longer needs to place much emphasis on image and influence.

Instead, it is how to deal with other competitors who spend money and draw cakes to lure students. Therefore, since Sumitomo is specified in the title, it is a defensive question.

Use defense instead of offense.

This opinion added by Tao Zhiming is a bit of a correction of the direction of the discussion, and it hits the nail on the head.

Among the four interviewers, one of them looked at him without showing any signs.

Sure enough, after a little thought, someone suddenly said: "Continuous activities have a longer-term effect. Sponsoring club activities can be designated as a method. The club regularly holds lecture-style activities on campus. Please work for Sumitomo. The seniors returned to school to share. After entering Sumitomo, the decent status and income, the important cases involved, and the colorful Sumitomo life gradually formed a "choose Sumitomo, choose a broader future and a more imaginative life". impression……"

He seemed to be too excited to stop talking, but Yamane Yokohisa immediately said: "Because of time constraints, this classmate from Tsukuba hasn't spoken much yet, please let him talk about his thoughts."

It can be regarded as preventing this person from talking freely in a disguised form, and also giving others a chance to show off.

The group interview was carried out in this atmosphere.

Everyone wants to show off, compete with others, and appear to be meeting as a team to discuss issues in a "collaborative" atmosphere.

Tao Zhiming was a little surprised that the quarrelsome situation he imagined did not appear.

This was in the 80s, when a group of Neon's most outstanding students came out of the university, they unexpectedly had this kind of awareness by coincidence.

Perhaps it is because of the relatively "polite" influence in cultural genes, but it is undeniable that, unlike Kyoko Okita, they know more about some taboos in interviews.

Although Tao Zhiming's role is the final summary statement, it does not mean that he cannot express his opinions in the free discussion.

He often doesn't make long speeches, but he always uses one or two sentences to instruct other people again to advance the plan in a more detailed and innovative direction.

Faintly, he already has more strength than that leader in "guiding the discussion framework".

Everyone felt this, Yamane Yokohisa looked at him with more complex eyes, and the other people and the interviewer deepened the impression of Tao Zhiming when he introduced himself: this guy has a broad vision and clear goals!

After 20 minutes of free discussion, it was Tao Zhiming's turn to make a final presentation.

Tao Zhiming stood up, without looking at any records, and said calmly: "During the 20-minute discussion, we first came to a clear conclusion: the target is not the students of the school, but to use this incident to create as much as possible Publicity effect. The task is to demonstrate the strength, sincerity and potential of Sumitomo through cooperation, and convey the impression of 'Sumitomo is a good choice' to students of top universities. During the discussion..."

He clearly mentioned the names of the other seven people and the valuable speeches they put forward, and finally said clearly: "So, we suggest that we cooperate to adopt the form of organized competitions. Teams organized by associations of multiple universities will participate in the competition. The main funds are used for events and awards, mobilizing the sense of honor and enthusiasm of the university associations, and they will complete the publicity within the university."

"Sumitomo, on the other hand, will use part of the funds to amplify the influence of this competition award. At the same time, outstanding members who have graduated from various universities and worked in Sumitomo can use their status as guides to let students feel the love of Sumitomo staff. status, wealth."

"Although the first prize of 500 million yen accounts for half of the budget, because of the huge amount, it is itself a news point for publicity. It will form a strong sensational effect and is very attractive to students. It can It matches the image and status of Sumitomo. By making news, we can save a lot of media expenses. The president of Sumitomo can also become a symbol of honor when he attends the awards.”

"In addition, this is my last personal addition. For the students who enter the final stage, even though they are still in the second or third grade, Sumitomo can express their intention to admit in advance. Once this becomes an unspoken rule, Sumitomo will be more competitive than competitors. Go ahead and lock the best potential students one year in advance.”

He finished his speech and sat down.

Entered the final interviewer's questioning session.

The first question was asked by Tao Zhiming: "It is a rule-breaking thing to express the intention of admission one year in advance. Moreover, the time before graduation is longer and the uncertainty is greater. How to solve this problem?"

Tao Zhiming said confidently: "Things that break the rules will continue to appear. Sumitomo does not need to completely solve the problem of uncertainty, but only needs to let the group of outstanding students confirm one point: Sumitomo can break the rules for the sake of talents. This kind of breaking the rules , is a source of honor and sense of achievement for students, and Sumitomo’s image and influence have been established. Whether they can finally enter Sumitomo is not the purpose of this activity itself, but the effectiveness of the work of Sumitomo’s personnel department. "

The person who asked the question was noncommittal, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Can you immediately clarify the essence of the interviewer's questions and give effective answers?

Good one rule-breakers will keep popping up.

It really doesn't matter.

Rules are made to be broken.

A few years ago, where would there be a gift money given to the default applicants?

This man, gave an amazing performance.

Compared with other students, he is already a general who can stand on his own.

Chapter 19: The Flower of the Kendo Society

The scale of Sumitomo is larger, and the efficiency of interviews is much better than that of Sumitomo.

With the group face-to-face method, almost only two batches were divided, and all the students who came to participate in the interview were settled.

Lunch at noon is also different from Yuhe.

As long as the people who came to participate in the first meeting, all were invited to the restaurant.

Tao Zhiming and Ueno Yosuke were able to meet.

"How is it? As expected of Sumitomo, you actually adopted this method..." Yosuke Uedo looked terrified, "Oro, you have never participated in the simulation in school before, is it okay?"

The old god Tao Zhiming is here: "No problem! But you, are you confident to pass?"

"Probably... what is your topic?"
