校友求职经验分享

转载自skyisurple的分享贴

WPI商科master毕业生，学习、求职经历/体会（WPI 也算是我母校了，要来顶一下~~）
转眼Master马上要毕业了，当初申请时候的纠结和挣扎，仍旧历历在目。如今把自己的经历写下只言片语，不管好坏，给有兴趣的后来人做个参考吧。
我 08Fall入学WPI管理学院，OperationsDesign and Leadership program。当初还有OSU,Case Western Reserve等几个学校的录取，最后考虑了费用、program时间、地区，等等因素，还是选择了WPI。一般学商科都比较关注就业问题，我也是一样。当时考虑WPI离波士顿比较近，就业机会应该相对好一些。
来了学校以后呢，不幸赶上经济危机，从找实习到找工作都比较纠结。WPI的管理学院授课质量还是很不错的，但由于学校的确engineering相对出名一些，所以来学校JobFair的公司大多目标在招engineer，针对商科/管学生招聘的公司相对比较少，这是个不尽人意的地方。但是同时，也有一些公司看中了WPI的学生工程类背景，来招聘技术管理人才，而且比较信任WPI的工程教育，这是好的一面。
我个人09年夏天的时候在纽约MTV总部做了实习，主要做的是RockBand游戏硬件的供应链工作。3个月实习经历给我后来找全职工作提供了很好的背景知识和亮点，所以虽然是unpaid，却很值。找实习的时候也是各种方法全部用遍，最终这个是经过朋友推荐找到的。个人经验感觉，不管是哪所学校，目前经济情况，有人推荐是最有效的一种求职方法，起码可以帮你闯过简历筛选关，见到面试官，这样自己把握的因素就大多了。网投的话，光是筛简历就有90%的可能被滤掉了，时间精力耗费得特别厉害，而且很难有好的成果。再一个比较好的渠道就是公司到学校直接招聘，一般这样的公司比较信任该校的学生，几率、把握相对大很多。
09年秋季的时候开始着手找全职工作。9月在学校的JobFair上受到了两家公司的面试通知，一个是AveryDennison，做标签、压敏材料及办公用品的Fortune500，另一个是Vistaprint，一个很年轻但是成长极快的市场营销解决方案/印刷公司（这是我对他家的定义，嘿嘿）。两家招聘的风格很不一样，AD招聘的是GlobalOperations Leadership Development program，相当于国内的管理培训生，旨在培养全球运营领导人才，所以面试特别注重沟通能力、团队合作、领导力等等，而且公司近些年大力推行SixSigma和Lean，所以有这方面知识背景的申请人会比较受重视，而WPI的课程教育在这些方面和业界的趋势结合很紧密，所以作为学生我准备还比较充分。Vista家招的是BusinessAnalyst。由于他们家的业务基本完全是基于网络，所以对BA的数据分析要求很高。他家的面试基本上行为方面的问题很少，主要是大量的数据库SQL考察，case 分析和解决问题，属于比较技术型的。
最终经过两家的初面和终面，我都拿到了offer。最终从了AD，因为比较看重他们的全球性的背景，觉得平台更广阔一些，而且是个轮岗项目，我也比较喜欢到处跑。Vista家给的待遇相对好一点，但是觉得自己再数理方面不是特别擅长，整天搞数字、建模之类的会比较抑郁，所以还是没去。但是他家的确是个很可爱很可爱的公司。给了offer以后，BAteam里从VP到analyst整天无微不至地关怀，随时解答问题，给人感觉特别温暖。所以据offer的时候还是颇觉得对不住人家。。。
从我个人找工作的经验看，主要有以下几点比较重要：
1.    RP。很抱歉把这个排在第一位，但是这个的确重要。我的两个offer都是恰好公司特别需要我这个方向的人，碰上很合适的。并不是说我本人很优秀，有fit的职位，这是最重要的。所以同志们要多攒RP啊。
2.    英文口语。没有夸张它的重要性。所有面试过程，不管你本人怎样优秀，如果口头表达不行，是很难被选中的。尤其是商科的学生，英文口语、沟通能力是一大要素！
3.    要有能脱颖而出的亮点。我个人感觉09年暑假在MTV实习过以后，简历在招聘会上明显比以前更有吸引力。倒不是说一个实习经验让我学到了多少东西（当然确实学到了不少），而是一个比较有分量的实习会吸引公司的注意力，加上你本人在招聘会上有效的自我推销两者结合，会让在场的HR/hiringmanager对你有印象，从而能够拿到面试机会。不然更多的简历是在HR2-3秒钟扫过之后就丢在一边了。所以如果能够有跨国公司（他们听说过的名字）的相关实习经历，会给找工作加上很多砝码。
4.    仔细研究公司职位要求，找到自己相应的竞争力所在，并集中表现。虽然不算尽善尽美，但我个人感觉在两个公司的面试当中都比较有效地表现出我个人相应的一些素质，适应职位的要求。当然这个就是后话了。
说到学校名气对找工作的影响，当然确实存在。比如top的咨询大牛一般都只去top的名校招人等等。但是这样的公司毕竟还是少数。美国公司有一点比较明显，招聘的地区性很强，也就是说很多公司倾向于在自己附近的学校进行招聘，并且和学校建立长期的人才供求关系。所以学校所在的地理位置好的话，附近公司多，机会相应也就多。
总体感觉WPI的Career Development Center还是比较尽心尽力地和公司联系，帮助学生找工作。自己比较积极主动努力的话，找工作的前景还是有滴~~
