写下这篇文章的时候我的求职之路其实还没有结束，但是感到胸中块垒无法消除，觉得是不是写出来会好过一点。自从我开始找工作，我就把QQ签名改成了“疲惫生活中的英雄梦想”，原话是杜拉斯说的“爱之于我，不是肌肤之亲，不是一蔬一饭，它是一种不死的欲望，是疲惫生活中的英雄梦想”，这句话一直支撑着我走到现在。不死的欲望，坚守梦想。 先从校招最早的四大开始（其实很多外资银行8月份就开始了，不过那些招聘信息对我来说看了等于没看，反正是进不去的地方），由于一开始没有感受到找工作的压力（因为十一假期受父母“蛊惑”我又准备申请香港的学校，11月27号考国家公务员，12月10号考雅思），所以投简历不是很积极，四大我只申请了KPMG和PwC。 一，网申（我申请的都是深圳的审计岗位，因为听了宣讲会之后感觉审计招的人多嘛） KPMG的OQ(中文解说部分是王迈老师战友圈上某文章里分析的，英文部分是我自己写的，有夸大成分，哈哈~): Question1 Please give a brief summary of your current recreational and leisure activities, including sports and hobbies. 求职者选择个人爱好和业余活动必须满足两个原则：体现个人生活的丰富与趣味和尽可能与企业要求的核心素质有所匹配。对于选择的个人爱好必须以事例的形式进行描述，而不能简单地进行名词罗列。 比如如果爱好篮球，就应该讲述一次带领团队战胜强敌，取得胜利的经验，“篮球”的词汇本身对企业没有任何价值。如果爱好长跑，就应该讲述参加某次马拉松的经验，突出准备的艰难和坚持不懈达到目标。如果爱好某种乐器，就应该讲述自己的特长如何在某次活动中得到发挥，受到大家的认可与欣赏。 As for me, joining various special clubs is a good way to get a life outside of study. I’ve taken part in different clubs for studying abroad, practicing oral English and hunting for jobs. I love meeting diverse group of people and working with them is a great pleasure. Joining the Toastmaster was one of the best experiences that I had. On Saturday afternoons, I usually went to Toastmaster, where English lectures were given among members. Once, I shared my English learning method with them and received good response. Through attending Toastmaster, I learned a lot from the members and it also enriched my experience of giving presentations. Toastmaster expanded my skill set by improving my ability of public speaking and communication. In this way, I stroked a balance between life and study to keep things in perspective.
What clubs and societies are you a member of and in what capacity? 这是最为简单直接的结构化或者行为测试题目。求职者需要注意的是不能简单地罗列参与过的社团和职位名称，因为从企业的角度看，这些都属于不相关信息。在简单介绍社团经验丰富的基础上，求职者必须详细描述在团队中的具体角色（必须是承担领导责任），以及遇到问题或挑战时具体的解决方法。只有具体的个人行为（以一般过去时的核心动词体现）才能体现个人素质并得到企业的认可。注意仔细分析企业的岗位描述和企业文化，求职者体现的个人素质必须与企业的人才要求相匹配。建议在回答的最后通过“获得社会工作奖学金”或“成绩得到团队成员的认可”等方式再次突出个人成就。 I used to be a member of the public relation department and then I was promoted to president of the Finance Association. I organized financial seminars, inter-school-visits and corporate workshops for students. Holding the virtual competition (sponsored by Citic Securities) was a climax for our association. I participated in negotiating with Citic Securities, received 20000 Yuan sponsorship and established a long-term cooperative relationship with them. As a member of Organizing Committee, I was responsible for coordinating work between various universities, holding meetings, and reporting to higher authorities on time, which provided a solid foundation for promoting the contest Besides, I provided complete scheme and emergency preparation. Thanks to my team, the competition attracted more than 20,000 candidates and proved a great success. Question3 What factors have influenced your career choice? 建议对问题的回答以下面的思路进行：求职者个人的竞争优势包括2－3个方面，每个优势可以通过具体的事例证明。选择岗位的主要因素就在于这个岗位是否能令以上几个优势得到最大的体现与发挥，或者使求职者能够在此岗位上贡献最大的价值。求职者选择的个人优势中必须有两个与企业的岗位要求直接相关。在优势明确的基础上，可以适当阐述岗位对个人发展的帮助。关于岗位对个人发展的帮助，可以考虑改写岗位描述中的部分内容，包括“快速成长”、“与最优秀的团队一起工作”等。求职者需要通过回答证明与岗位的双向匹配。 For me, finding an ideal employer is like finding my significant other. The key is that we do match. First, I’m a fast learner. Last seminar, I passed “Game Theory” exam after reviewing for 2days. I’m open to accept new things and have a quick mind. Second, I love solving problems for others. When in charge of a training program, I was ready to answer questions whatever the applicants come up with. I also held seminars about how to apply for internship and prepare for job-hunting among classmates. Third, I’m a careful and precise person. I used to work as a manager’s associate in a marketing team. At that time, I could always find out the tiniest mistake and remind the manager of what he missed out. Besides, I love travelling and embracing new challenges. I’ve been to Qingdao, Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong during my university period. Above all, I’m supposed to be qualified and suitable for working with KPMG. KPMG is the ideal place where I can exploit my potential to the fullest. Question4 Outline your career ambitions and objectives. 这是非常直接的职业规划题目，需要注意的是求职者的职业规划必须与四大的实际职业发展路径一致，满足“专业人士”的职业发展要求。对于审计类企业，人才的成长路径通常分为三个阶段：第一阶段为工作2年左右，员工主要处于成长期，需完成最为基础和底层的工作，积累项目经验；第二阶段为工作3－6年，主要培养企业的初级和中层管理者，开始带领团队承担项目；第三阶段为6年之后，开始筛选有领导潜质的高级管理人才，为企业高层进行人才储备。求职者的近期职业目标必然强调“创造价值”、“快速成长”等方面，远期职业目标应该强调成为该领域里顶尖的“专业人士”、“为客户创造价值”。 毕业生作为审计员将用2年的时间在事务所内通过完成不同的项目，不断得到前辈的指导，进行学习、积累。而正是这样―分享知识，分享信息，共同进步‖的在职多元化学习和培训，使毕业生迅速成长为专业的审计主管，承担起项目负责人的团队领导之重任。晋升为经理后，毕马威的培训在―管理技巧方向加大力度。―毕马威强大的客户基础，系统的培训体制，再加上个人的潜力，为优秀职员在10年内成长为合伙人铺平了道路。 I’ve always wanted to be a professional to deliver quality service to clients in line with qualifications, professional commitments, and engagement terms. In this way, I can create value for my clients as well as get self-recognition from accomplishing a project. In the first 2 or 3 years, I want to be a modest learner. I’ll be an industrious associate for my co-workers whenever they need me. Thus I can learn from the experienced person and lay a solid foundation for my career. In the fourth or fifth year, I hope to become a dedicated team leader. I’m eager to shoulder the responsibility of a project and cooperate with my teammates for the same goal. After about 10 years, I want to make contributions to KPMG as a partner if I’m lucky enough.I want to offer services that can help address a client's strategic needs in terms of growth, performance, and governance. Question5 At KPMG our global values guide the way that we interact with each other and help to create our open, friendly and supportive culture. Please tell us about a situation where you have used two of KPMG's values to achieve a positive outcome. 建议求职者选择自己过去的社团和社会活动经历作为答案的基础案例，当然，如果有直接对口的企业实习经历也可以采用。具体的回答方法可以参考第二道问题。需要注意的是在强调团队成就和工作环境的时候，一定要突出个人在团队建设和支持团队成员工作时所贡献的不可替代的价值。 This winter, I was leading a team to draft research on Hong Kong insurance industry and mainland market. Faced with the stress and difficulties brought by the assignment, we showed our trust in team spirit. At first, we’re confused about how to write an industry research. An idea came into my mind. I showed a teaching video about doing industry research to my teammates. Then we delegated the task and got started. A girl and I were in charge of the Hong Kong insurance industry part. First, we figured out an analysis framework. Then, we began to search the Internet separately. Whenever anyone got into trouble, we would help him to work out the solution together. As the famous saying goes” Two heads are better than one”, cooperation improved our work efficiency. Finally, we finished the research beyond our expectation. I began to understand the key to success lies in being open, friendly and supportive in your team. 因为面试的时候面试官手上可能会有你网申的OQ并据此提问，所以建议不要乱写。 PwC的OQ： 1.In PwC, we nurture a learning and development culture with the strong support of the efficient learning environment and coaching programmes. Please describe a specific achievement of you within a team and what you gained from it.Your answer should not be more than 1000 character space (includes letters, space and punctuation). This winter, I was in a team to draft a research on Hong Kong insurance industry and mainland market. No one in our team had ever done an industry research before, we were confused at first. Then, our leader showed us a teaching video on how to prepare industry research. After watching the video and a long-time discussion, it seemed clear to us what we should do. A girl and I were in charge of the Hong Kong insurance industry part. Neither of us was familiar with insurance industry, let alone that of Hong Kong. First, we came up with an analysis framework according to the video. Then we delegated the mission and began to search the Internet separately. Whenever anyone got into trouble, we would figure out the solution together. At last, we finished the research beyond our expectation. I was accustomed to working under pressure and staying up late to finish work as time was limited. More importantly, I began to realize the great power of communication and teamwork. 2.PwC sets priority on developing our people's project management skills in accordance with client expectations and professional standards. Please identify and a major activity/project you undertook and describe what it was and how you managed the project. I was responsible for the “Ideal Employer Student Survey” launched by Universum Communications in 2011.As a campus representative, I was in charge of 3 people. Our goal was to organize 200 students to participate in the survey within 20 days. First, I organized a team conference to discuss about how to promote the survey. Our promotional activity consisted of two parts---online and off-line. On the one hand, we put more emphasis on online promotion. We put the advertorial on as many websites as possible, for example, SNS like RenRen. We also encourage other people to put forward the message. On the other hand, we gave it our best shot to promote the survey in daily life. By offering small gifts such as learning materials and coupon, we attracted students to complete the survey. The key to our success was that we broke the ultimate goal into daily goals. Fortunately, we organized more than 200 students to do the survey and finished the task first over 90 other ambassadors. 3.PwC aims to maintain high standards of professionalism. Please describe a situation when you were engaged in a task where you took a different approach or had a different opinion from others. Please share how this contributed to the team’s success. In 2010, I was in the Organizing Committee for the “The Mock Stock Trading Competition”. During the competition, three lectures would be held in our university. At that time, I was in conflict with another member over the lecture’s topic. I preferred the lecturer to talk about his investment approach and typical working day at securities company, while someone wanted to learn about fundamental analysis method. I found that our disagreement lies in our education background. As a finance student, I’ve already received the knowledge about fundamental analysis in class. However, many other students know little about it. Then, I made some investigations in private to let other students to choose between the two topics. After considering the results of the investigations, I decided to combine the two topics in one lecture. I put forward the idea to the lecturer and he was satisfied with the arrangement. Finally, this lecture attracted more than 100 students to attend and received great response. （下面这几段话不记得从哪儿看到的了，给大家参考） 这个问题是结构化测评或行为面试中常见的基本题型，题型考察的个人关键素质包括团队协作、沟通技巧、压力管理、任务/项目管理、危机处理等内容。作为从事审计行业的专业人士，每天都与项目团队的成员共同工作，并且和客户方面保持密切的协作，因此遇到工作坊法和意见上的冲突不可避免。 为了体现专业素养，遇到冲突的基本解决思路为：陈述问题，分析分歧的可能来源（体现条理性和分析的逻辑性），根据不同的来源设计解决方案，执行解决方案（体现上面提到的个人素质），根据执行情况调整解决方案以及分歧接触后所达成的成果（突出个人的价值与成就）。 解答使用的素材必须以实际发生的事件为基础，不可采用假设的方式回答。可以使用的素材包括在参加社团、社会活动、企业实习甚至课程作业中与团队工作时产生的各类分歧以及解决方法。 鉴于回答字数的限制，应尽可能保证不超过10%的篇幅用于说明事件背景，不超过10%的篇幅用于说明个人成就，80%左右的篇幅用于陈述个人与关键素质相关的行为，多使用与关键素质相关的核心动词，所有动词采用一般过去时。 二，笔试 笔试还是会刷相当一部分人的，大家要认真准备，建议做好网上盛传的经典题（比如KPMG经典24题）就行了，熟悉下套路。PwC除了准备经典题还要准备写英语作文（类似4、6级那种）。KPMG是纸考（在中南财大考的），PwC是机考（在武大考）。 三，面试 KPMG： 1.Case Study Presentation，我选的是IKEA。 Main points of my presentation: 1) Place-purchasing environment: shopping with the whole family 做完展示后manager会针对case问一个问题，问我的是很多年轻人比较喜欢逛宜家，怎么吸引年龄稍长的人去宜家逛呢？因为年龄大的人觉得宜家的东西虽然便宜但是质量不好。 2.manager面（看起来像聊天的面试开始了）： 英文自我介绍，用英文介绍你最近的一个实习是做什么（我没准备，当时就凌乱了，银行术语神马的都想不起来了。。。），为什么选审计。（我能回忆起来的就是这些了，我当时超级放松啊，想着反正就算面上了也不会去好嘛，最后竟然manager还问我那个juicy的包包，我灰常开心的说在网上买的啊，我最会淘宝了。。。总之我就是各种放松，真把面试当聊天了，结果。。。你们就别问我结果了） 提醒大家一点，如果manager面之后很久没消息，你可以打电话过去确认，报上你的面试ID号，HR会很nice地帮你查询，你想知道的话还可以问被拒的原因。
1.小组面试。先做英文自我介绍，然后每人拿一张材料，每个人的材料纸上有共同的部分（描述问题背景），剩下的信息是不同的（需要组员间在讨论时共享），每组5个人（公司提前分好的，一次2组，我们组苦逼只有4个人，蓝后我就一个人读了两份材料。。。），给定时间看完材料后小组讨论，讨论完后做展示（每个人都要说，大概总共展示10分钟），一组展示完后由另一组提问。 2.manager面：大部分都是针对简历的全中文面试提问（当时我们组运气好，被分到的manager用中文面，另一组是用英文面，所以大家还是都要做好准备啊，因为manager有时候是出差在外临时被抓来面试的好嘛，网上可能说是全中文面搞不好第二天就换了一个manager啊！！！我当时带错了简历啊，带了份银行的简历过去，上面各种银行从业资格证啊，证券从业资格证啊，瞬间就暴露了我的目标啊。。。），经理果然就问道我问什么不去银行这个问题了，还问我对审计的理解（推荐大家看《审计一家言》，虽然的确很老的资料了，但是看了确实有用啊）。 四，虽然两个我都无缘BOSS面，还是很感谢Sam老师亲自点拨我，特地在电话里详细到举例子跟我聊应该怎么回答问题，还是自己态度不端正吧。。。 题外话：我在武汉面试的时候碰到的基本上都是财大、武大、华科的学生，PwC的时候碰见过江西财经和东北师范的。而且在PwC面试前填信息的时候需要选学校，可以直接勾的学校貌似只有财大。。。我默默地在others里面填下了我们学校。 （责任编辑：职场达人） |
