After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Chapter 239 Job Application Planning

The fact that Meishang can attract so many outstanding talents to apply for the job is enough to prove that its development prospects are bright. For such a fast-growing company, it is almost impossible to make its stock price plummet, unless there is an irrefutable scandal, but how can a scandal be so easy to fabricate?

She had been planning for more than a month, but still had no progress. If there was no substantive action, Mr. Wang might really go crazy. It was hard to predict what crazy actions he would take, and the consequences were definitely not something she could bear.

An anxious An Ling looked at the applicants. In the company, new people replace old ones, and anyone's position can be replaced as long as the treatment is good enough.

Once, she thought she was the god and soul of "Meishang", but now it seems that this idea is ridiculous. It was that arrogance that brought her to where she is today. Does she regret it? Of course she regrets it, but she can't turn back.

She wanted too much, but Meishang gave her too little!

An Ling noticed that a female job applicant in a black business suit subconsciously held the handrail with one hand while stroking her belly with the other hand as she walked up the stairs. She also deliberately kept a distance from other people.

An Ling narrowed her eyes, and the word "pregnant" flashed through her mind. She was pregnant and still applying for a job? The company would definitely not accept her. After all, she couldn't work overtime or take on intensive work after she got pregnant. There were also maternity leave, childbirth leave, and maternity allowances. After going through the whole process, the company would have to waste two years of time and money on her.

Therefore, although many companies do not require gender when recruiting, men often have an advantage over women during interviews, and the ratio of successful male and female applicants is also greater for men than for women, unless women are better than men, and this excellence cannot be just a little bit good, but very good. Only in this way can the brilliance of female applicants not be ignored because of their gender.

Therefore, few companies will hire women, let alone pregnant women. This is not because the company is gender-discriminatory or does not sympathize with female applicants, but out of consideration for operating costs.

After all, a business is started to make money, not to do charity.

Therefore, in today's highly competitive society, any news about female job applicants, especially pregnant women, being treated differently by the companies they apply to will attract great attention from female netizens.

If news spreads that "Meishang rejects pregnant female applicants" or "pregnant women are discriminated against and oppressed at Meishang", what kind of response will it cause in society?

After all, the slogan when Ms. Jing Qiu founded "Meishang" was "Focus on fashion with women's aesthetics and perspective."

"Meishang", whether in the past or now, has always been about highlighting women's aesthetic perspective. It is precisely because of this emphasis that it has become a magazine with a very high subscription rate among many women.

If a magazine that claims to be female-oriented and respects women does something that goes against its original intention, will it be seen as a betrayal by female consumers and lead to the loss of this huge female consumer group?

Thinking of this, An Ling smiled and followed him to the office where he was applying for the job.

When the HR manager saw her, he quickly stood up and said, "Editor-in-Chief An, you're here."

An Ling smiled and nodded in response: "I will help you in the job screening. I just glanced at the applicants' profiles and found that all the applicants are excellent. I will help you to screen them."

The HR manager was naturally very happy. In fact, he had carefully reviewed the information of all the applicants and selected more than 40 candidates who he thought were very good. But the problem was that there were only ten positions to apply for, and he was having trouble making a decision. Now that Editor-in-Chief An was there to help with the review, it was perfect.

Nearly a hundred applicants were interviewed at noon, which was a very high efficiency. Just when An Ling was getting impatient, the female applicant who might be pregnant walked in.

An Ling flipped open her resume, frowned and said, "Ms. Zhang, your resume shows that your work experience in the past three years is blank."

Zhang Ruiyan clenched her hands nervously and answered, "I have focused on my family in the past three years."

An Ling closed her resume and asked, "Have you been a housewife for three years?"

Although Zhang Ruiyan felt the disapproving looks from the people around her, she still nodded: "Yes!"

An Ling sighed and said, "Ms. Zhang, your resume shows that except for the three years of absence in the workplace, your resume three years ago was still very impressive. You graduated from the University of Southern California, and the companies where you interned and worked were all world-renowned media companies. But you also know that the media industry is changing very quickly now, and I am worried whether your professional acumen and judgment are still suitable for this industry."

Zhang Ruiyan looked at An Ling and said, "Although I have been focusing on my family for the past three years, I have not been idle. I run a video account. Although I don't have many fans, only 200,000, I have been updating it without interruption. The video has a high view and click rate. I think this is my advantage over other applicants. If I can join 'Meishang', I am willing to hand over the operation and management rights of the account to the company."

The HR manager looked up at Zhang Ruiyan. When he first saw her materials, he had already ruled her out because she had a three-year career gap. But now that he heard that she had an account with 200,000 followers and that it would be managed by the company free of charge after she joined, he asked, "Can you tell me the name of your account?"

Zhang Ruiyan gave the name of her video account without hesitation. The HR manager immediately took out his phone and browsed the content of her account. The video covers the changes in China's aesthetics from ancient times to the present, from food, clothing, housing and transportation to calligraphy, painting, embroidery and other aspects. Although the content is a bit complicated, the style is very unified. The editing of the video is quite charming, and such a style can naturally attract some like-minded viewers.

The HR manager noticed that each video had more than 10,000 likes and 200 to 300 comments.

He looked at Zhang Ruiyan and asked, "Ms. Zhang, if you manage this account well, the income will never be lower than your salary. Then why do you still want to come to work and even willing to hand over this account to the company for free?"

Jang Seo-yeon replied, “I need this job.”

Yes, she needed this job. Three years ago, she resolutely gave up her career for love. She thought she would spend her life with that man, but last month she found out that her husband had cheated on her. She wanted to divorce, but then she found out that she was pregnant.

During these three years, she and her husband tried various methods to have a child, but they were never able to do so. However, when she discovered that her husband was cheating on her, she unexpectedly became pregnant, which was extremely ironic!
