Chapter 73 Majors Worse Than Biochemistry, Environmental Materials, Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering
So fast?
Yang Ruoqian was a little surprised. It was only a dozen minutes, and Wen Lianji had already found those laid-off announcers?
The efficiency is so scary.
"Come in."
Wen Lianji walked in with two freshly printed documents and greeted the two leaders with a serious face: "Boss Yang, Boss Chang! I have found the contact information of three laid-off announcers from Jinri TV Station. Should I continue looking for them, or contact these three people first?"
Yang Ruoqian took the information and glanced at it casually: "Let's contact these three people first. It won't be difficult to contact others through these three people later. But you are very efficient. How long has it taken you to find the contact information of these three people?"
Why are all of our employees so capable?
Didn’t you just start working and have no work experience at all? Wen Lianji scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "No, I just casually looked at the online recruitment platform just now and immediately saw these three job seekers."
“Online recruitment platform?”
Yang Ruoqian was a little surprised.
It shouldn't be.
In Yang Ruoqian's stereotype, it is easy for journalism graduates to find jobs, especially those with some work experience. How could they fall to the point of having to look for jobs on online recruitment platforms?
As if she had seen Yang Ruoqian's confusion, Wen Lianji showed surprise on her face: "Boss Yang, do you think it's easy for college students majoring in journalism to find jobs?"
Yang Ruoqian would never pretend to know something. He nodded and said, "I really haven't learned anything about this. I really thought it was easy to find a job with a journalism degree."
It turns out that the boss is not omniscient...
Wen Lianji suddenly felt that Yang Ruoqian's image was much closer, and the tense expression on her face relaxed. She smiled and said, "Boss, how can I describe the journalism major? To use the words of a certain teacher, if you close your eyes and randomly look for any major in the undergraduate major catalog, it will be better than the journalism department."
Any of them is better than the journalism department? So exaggerated?! Curiosity is human nature. Yang Ruoqian put down his work and asked, "Is the journalism major worse than the biochemistry, environmental materials, civil engineering and mechanical engineering?"
Wen Lianji nodded vigorously: "At least those majors are just like working like a cow or a horse, but if you study journalism, you can't even be a cow or a horse..."
Can’t even be a cow or a horse?
Is it possible that you will go directly to work in a certain group after graduation?
"I remember this profession is quite popular." Yang Ruoqian laughed, "Maybe there are too many things to do and I forgot."
"Mr. Yang, you are not mistaken." Wen Lianji has obviously studied a lot of information in this area, and she talks about it endlessly. "In 2005, there was no WeChat or Weibo, and there was almost no self-media. Traditional media could really bring both fame and fortune. Ten years ago, broadcasting and hosting was still a skill, but it is no longer the case now."
"Now that the media has almost been decentralized and self-media has risen strongly, the rigid standards of the past, such as standard Mandarin, image and temperament, are no longer so important. As long as the content disseminated is eye-catching enough, you can be a KOL who can influence public opinion."
"The most important thing is that journalism itself has gradually become awkward. If you want to be a journalist, whether you study law, finance or engineering, it will not have much impact on your career in journalism, and it may even be beneficial."
Yang Ruoqian understood.
I guess it’s because the industry I’m currently working in has dealt a fatal blow to traditional media, right?
"Then let's contact these people now. We are all here and can check for you." Yang Ruoqian said, "Remember to turn on the hands-free."
Wen Lianji nodded slightly, took out her cell phone and dialed the number of a person named Song Lixin.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
The phone was connected to the speaker for more than ten seconds before the other end picked up the phone. A noisy horn sound then penetrated the speaker and poured into the ears of the three people present.
A man's voice panted and said, "It will be delivered soon. The road to your community is a bit roundabout. Please wait a moment. It will take at most three minutes..."
Well……
The three people from Kuiguang Group looked at each other in shock.
The job application information shows that Song Lixin is a master's student in the journalism department of a 211 university!
Isn’t this a bit too miserable?
"Sorry, I didn't order takeout." Wen Lianji was stunned for a moment, then immediately recovered and didn't let her emotions show on the call. "We saw your resume on the job search platform, and now we want to discuss specific cooperation matters with you."
Song Lixin obviously didn't expect that a company would actually call him. His originally clear and melodious voice trembled a little: "You...you, please wait a moment. I'll call you back after I deliver these orders. Is that okay? We will deduct money for being late. I'm really sorry!"
Wen Lianji looked at Yang Ruoqian for instructions, and when he nodded slightly, she replied, "Okay, Mr. Song. You can call my cell phone or the company landline. The phone number has been sent to you through the chat function of the recruitment platform, please check it out. I wish you a happy life, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Lianji blinked, as if to confirm the correctness of what she had just said - it is indeed difficult to find a job with a journalism major.
Graduates from 211 universities have to deliver food to make a living.
Yang Ruoqian sighed: "This is the change in the overall environment... A profession that was once very popular may be reduced to a particularly poor industry recognized by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security in the radio and television industry in just a few years."
And most people in this industry cannot remain immune.
Wen Lianji held the phone and asked, "Boss Yang, Boss Chang, should I continue to call the other two people now?"
"Go ahead."
…
After some communication, Yang Ruoqian learned that one of the remaining two people had decided to return to his hometown to develop and had no intention of continuing to work in Jinhai City; the other one was completely discouraged after many setbacks and became a full-time online car-hailing driver.
The information on the online recruitment platform was simply forgotten to be taken down because no one contacted him.
"After asking around, there's only one person." Yang Ruoqian was a little amused. "Sure enough, when an industry is at its end, everyone rushes to escape."
Wen Lianji asked: "Boss Yang, what should we do if Song Lixin doesn't meet our employment standards? Should we continue to look for former employees of the bankrupt radio station, recruit from the society, or try campus recruitment?"
Campus recruitment...
Generally speaking, fresh graduates from good universities don't think about becoming anchors after graduation, right? It's OK to do backstage work like Wen Lianji and Weng Ziqin...
As for social recruitment, it is even more of a mixed bag - the simplest example is the 25-year-old security guard Zhu Qifeng who is still guarding the gate.
It’s not that the mixture of good and bad is bad, but it’s easy for a host with the potential to become a big hit to emerge accidentally among the mixture of good and bad.
This goes against Yang Ruoqian's original intention.
The best candidate is someone like Song Lixin, who resigned from a TV station and whose all qualifications are very "standard". The advantage is that he does not have many shortcomings.
"Let's check on Song Lixin first, and if it doesn't work, we'll make other plans." Yang Ruoqian checked the time, "It's almost time to get off work at noon, and his orders should be almost delivered."
Just as he finished speaking, a faint telephone ring sounded from outside the office.
…
Company office area.
When the front desk girl Lu Shuyuan heard the phone ring, she answered it immediately with a sweet voice: "Hello, this is Kuiguang Entertainment Media Co., Ltd., how can I help you?"
"Okay, I'll make an appointment for you right away. Afternoon, right? We are available. Would you mind leaving your contact information? Okay, okay."
"Our company is closed at 1:30. You can make an appointment any time after 2 o'clock and before 5 o'clock."
"Yes, the front desk can transfer you there. Please wait."
…
At the same time, the phone on Yang Ruoqian's desk rang.
Wen Lianji walked over, picked up the phone, and pressed the hands-free button: "Hello, Mr. Song Lixin, how are you thinking about it?"
Song Lixin's voice was a little anxious: "I'll come for the interview at 2 o'clock this afternoon, is that okay?"
"Sure, do you know the address?"
"Shengjing Mansion, 24th floor, right?" Song Lixin said immediately.
From his disordered breathing, it can be heard that he is very eager for such a new job.
In those days, those who could get into a prestigious university and major in journalism were more or less idealistic and ambitious. How could they be willing to be a delivery boy? A man of honor was born between heaven and earth, how could he be depressed and inferior to others for a long time?
Wen Lianji responded: "That's right."
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, thank you! Thank you very much!"
"Mr. Song, you're welcome. We are also looking forward to this meeting."
After a few polite words, the call was hung up. Wen Lianji turned to look at Yang Ruoqian and said hesitantly, "Boss Yang, I have an unwelcome request. Can I say it here?"
Yang Ruoqian lowered his head to check Song Lixin's detailed information, and said casually: "Go ahead, be casual, there is nothing that cannot be said in the company."
Chang Zhiqing, who was playing with her mobile phone on the sofa in the distance, raised her head and stared at the new female agent.
Wen Lianji was completely unaware of the gazes behind her and asked nervously, "That's right, I would like to ask you to give me a chance to observe while you interview Song Lixin and learn some experience from you... Is that okay?"
If you want to reach Mr. Yang's professional level of recruiting and making everyone popular, theory alone is far from enough. You also need to see how Mr. Yang actually puts it into practice.
It was a great opportunity to learn how Mr. Yang could judge whether a person could be recruited into the company based on what the job applicant said and did, and Wen Lianji naturally didn't want to miss it.
Yang Ruoqian said without hesitation: "Sure, no problem. You are the agent, so recruiting anchors is one of your responsibilities."
How could Yang Ruoqian refuse when his employees came to him to learn something?
Hearing that it was just a work matter, Chang Zhiqing lowered her head with relief and started playing with her mobile phone.
"Okay!" Wen Lianji was overjoyed to get the boss's permission, "I'll go prepare some materials for taking notes!"
Yang Ruoqian waved his hand, indicating that Wen Lianji could leave: "Go ahead, just remember to be in the office at 2pm."
