Interview experience
Thread Content
Last winter, prices rose sharply, but salaries didn’t increase much. More importantly, I didn’t learn much either. In general, it’s not that I don’t want to learn*; it’s mainly that I don’t know what to learn, and I’m very confused. I’m very impulsive; sometimes I want to get a certification, sometimes I want to work at home by myself, and sometimes I want to change jobs. I don’t even know what to do. I hate being in this state, but I don’t know why; I just can’t make up my mind. The day before yesterday, I went to YTO for an interview. First, there was an English test; I could only translate from English to Chinese, not from Chinese to English. After that, there was a stress test. I hadn’t read those types of books since graduating from university, so I had completely forgotten everything. There were four questions in total, and I managed to answer only one of them; I didn’t even know where to put my face. I thought that after working for about two years, things wouldn’t be this bad, but that’s exactly the case – it’s really frustrating. Later, I talked in English with the HR staff; they spoke, and I tried to use words to communicate with them – damn it. My self-confidence dropped to rock bottom in an instant. Sigh, one needs to learn things in life – many people are aware of that. But could that experienced person help me out and give me some advice on which direction I should go? I learned mechanical engineering on my own and work with chemical processing equipment.
Hehe, interviews at foreign companies are quite difficult; they usually ask many detailed questions, focusing on the key points. Once you get in, it becomes much easier. Personally, I think it’s fast to learn things at foreign companies, as you have access to a lot of different things. Since I have this idea, let’s make some preparations and put in some effort. Personally, I think it’s easier for foreigners who know no Chinese at all to take the interview.
It’s better to plan one’s career carefully first.:victory:
A few points for your reference. 1. Is it difficult to get a job in a foreign company? It depends on the position you are applying for. If you are determined to work for a foreign company, you can start by choosing a position with lower requirements, using it as a starting point to gradually move on to higher-level positions. Of course, this ultimately depends on your overall capabilities. Note: It refers to comprehensive abilities (business skills, foreign language proficiency, interpersonal skills, etc.). 2. Does your current company offer opportunities for growth? If so, accumulate experience – you can’t become proficient overnight – and wait for the right opportunities. 3. No matter what organization one is in, one must possess strong technical skills. From now on, drill more, ask more questions, think more, and practice more. When the company can’t do without you, your value will naturally become evident. A special reminder: face reality, analyze it calmly, and avoid acting on impulse. Finally, good luck.
First, plan your career carefully
If you don’t have the capability to join the company you want at the moment, build your skills at your current employer, because even if you change jobs, you can only choose from companies of the same level or even worse ones.
Strength determines everything; knowledge is the key to getting in, while ability is the steps that lead upward
These experiences are good; they help you understand where your strengths and weaknesses lie 2 is to change your mindset, until you know what you should do, what you can do now, and what you are prepared to do. If the direction is not clear, it’s still worth taking a career aptitude test; once the direction is chosen, one should focus seriously on preparing and learning*. 4 To make a living, you must do well at the job you can do now; don’t worry about whether it’s suitable or whether you like it. When there’s no choice, just do one’s job honestly.

I’m in the same situation as the original poster; I’m just a bit luckier than them. I’ve been working at the same company for four years since graduating, and I hardly use English at work. My skills in this language were not very good to begin with, and after not using it for several years, I forgot almost everything. Last month I decided to change jobs and went for an interview at a foreign company; I was hired quite easily. A few days ago I started working there, and everything there is in written form in English, which is a bit stressful. I’m now trying hard to learn English again^^^^^
I also want to work for a foreign company and learn * there
