The interviewer held up a ballpoint pen.
Zhang Chao rubbed his hands on his thighs and said, "Hmm... Imagine you have an 8 million yuan contract to sign, but your pen is broken. The client is hesitant about whether to sign the contract today and needs to wait a while. I have a pen for 200 yuan. You absolutely buy it without hesitation and sign the contract."
"I'm asking you to convince me to spend 200 yuan on this pen, not to imagine a crisis scenario. What I want is how you explain the sales process and impress the customer with the desire to buy. Do you understand?"
Zhang Chao thought to himself, "MMP!" He thought this only existed on TikTok, but he didn't expect that such a weird interview would actually happen in reality.
"Why, you can't sell?"
"Sorry, no. First of all, you said it was only worth 10 yuan, and asked me to sell it to you for 200 yuan. I can talk you into it with all sorts of hype, but you're not stupid, are you? Would you spend 200 yuan on a 10 yuan ballpoint pen?"
The interviewer shook his head disdainfully, clearly showing no interest in the interviewee.
"Next."
Zhang Chao stood up to leave, and heard a chatter of "high school diploma", "can't even buy a pen", "yes, real salespeople are quick-witted and agile, this guy can't do that."
Zhang Chao overheard it, because interviewers don't hesitate to say behind your back, "We only met once, and we won't know each other anymore once we step out the door."
Zhang Chao thinks that these interviewers read too many books written by non-professionals for professionals, such as "Success Studies", "Sales Skills", "How Interviewers Interview", etc.
If you change something, you can still sell it. This 10-yuan ballpoint pen is sold for 200 yuan. No fool would buy it. What's the point of the interview?
Since they were slandering him behind his back, Zhao Can naturally showed no mercy.
When I walked to the door, I glanced sideways and saw the broom on the ground.
"By the way, this broom is for the next interviewee, right? What the hell is this? Canglin Insurance is such a big company, they should have a formal interview. I don't know what the point of giving these messed up and unrealistic questions is."
"Hey! Applicant, please don't belittle Canglin Insurance just because you weren't hired. Please watch your words, or I'll have security kick you out."
Outside the door.
Jiang Tao heard the angry voice of the interviewee from inside and quickly opened the door: "What's going on? What's going on?"
Zhang Chao: "I'm sorry, brother. I didn't get the job. The test was too difficult and I'm not qualified."
Jiang Tao: "What's the test question?"
Zhang Chao: "A pen worth 10 yuan, and she asked me to sell it to her for 200 yuan right on the spot? And there's also the broom at the door."
"Ah? Such a weird question..." Jiang Tao quickly stopped himself, "Oh... It's okay, let's go. These HRs are just like that, thinking of weird questions every day."
"Sorry, I have to go now."
Zhang Chao patted Jiang Tao on the shoulder and left.
At this time.
Wang Wenwan had just come out of the sales manager's office after discussing something when she heard there was a small incident over there. In this kind of recruitment department, it was common for the interviewer and the interviewer to have a disagreement and then have a quarrel and leave. However... seeing that this person was Jiang Tao's friend, whom she had just met downstairs, she walked over.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Tao: "Boss, it's nothing, nothing."
Wang Wenwan: "Did your friend get the job?"
Jiang Tao: "Uh... no."
At this time, the assistant chattered in Wang Wenwan's ear about the interview questions just now, and Wang Wenwan just said "I know".
Turning on her high heels, she faced all the applicants in the hallway and said, "You might think HR's question is strange and bizarre, and that it's impossible to complete in a short period of time. Once you have this idea, you've already backed off and think you won't be hired, right?"
Everyone lowered their heads and thought to themselves that if they sold a pen, they would be hired.
Wang Wenwan looked at the new faces applying for jobs and continued, "Because you've backed off, you didn't think about why this question was asked. Actually... there are many ways to answer. The interviewer doesn't want you to sell them. Instead, they want to use this small task to observe the applicant's logical thinking and verbal organization skills, so that they can convince the HR that you are a talent and invite you to join our company. Do you understand?"
After all, Wang Wenwan is a big shot, and naturally her realm in all aspects cannot be compared with ordinary people.
The interviewer is just thinking about how I can possibly sell it. The other party is not a fool.
What HR and Wang Wenwan value is sales logic and sales thinking. After all, HR didn't say that you will be hired if you sell this pen to me. They just asked you to sell it.
Pah pah pah~
Everyone was enlightened and stood up and applauded.
Wang Wenwan smiled calmly, revealing the charm of a married woman.
With just a few words, I taught these interviewees a lesson, which will be helpful not only in our company, but also in future interviews at other companies.
Although Zhang Chao was reckless, he understood the intention. He turned to the interviewer and bowed to apologize: "I'm sorry, I was impulsive just now. I didn't understand the test question."
After saying that, he took the interviewer's resume and left.
Wang Wenwan looked at Zhang Chao and thought that he was a good person who could correct his mistakes. In addition, she had just heard from the sales manager that Jiang Tao's performance this month was good, so she thought she could give him a chance.
The company belongs to Wang Wenwan. He can do it himself or not, depending on her mood.
"Let me take a look."
Wang Wenwan took Zhang Chao's resume.
"Zhang Chao?"
"Um."
"From Yangguang Village, Yang'an County???"
"right."
"I'm from Sunshine Village..." Wang Wenwan held her chin, fingertips together, thinking...it seemed like Lin Can said that he was from Sunshine Village?
"I passed by your village when I went to Yang'an last time. The scenery was beautiful. I heard that a Ning University graduate was born there. Is that true?"
"Yes, yes, yes, that college student is my brother Lin Can!"
"Your brother?"
"Yeah, yeah, the results are pretty good."
"Oh~"
Wang Wenwan handed her resume to the HR.
"Manager Xiao, please arrange for Zhang Chao to join the company."
Jiang Tao exclaimed inwardly.
Zhang Chao: ???
Am I a talent?
I was appreciated by the big boss?
Regardless, it's a good thing to be employed.
Zhang Chaoan couldn't contain his excitement, turned on his phone, and immediately called: "Hello, Achan, I have the interview."
In the front corridor, Wang Wenwan heard the phone call from behind, laughed and shook her head, then walked straight into the office.
