I'm Xiaojiu Xiaojiu doesn't like drinking:
After working for 5 years, I successfully got an offer from JD.com. Let me talk about how I went from a traditional industry to JD.com, hoping to help you.
I majored in mechanical and electronic engineering as an undergraduate. After graduating in 2013, most of my classmates went to various research institutes to engage in research in the direction of intelligent robots.
I was a scumbag who did not embark on the road of scientific research, and joined a public institution in the automobile industry, and successively worked in overseas business sales management.
In the work experience of sales management, the main work content is to analyze various sales-related data and formulate improvement plans. The main analysis tool is Excel.
In order to improve my work skills, I accidentally discovered data analysis, a common skill in the workplace, during the process of self-studying Excel on the Internet . I gradually came into contact with more data analysis tools such as SQL , and I became very interested. opportunity.
1. Study Preparation
At the beginning, I studied by myself for two months by searching for learning materials on the Internet, but this learning method has two shortcomings: lack of systematic organization and lack of project experience.
Later, through a friend's introduction, I met Mr. Monkey. Special thanks to Mr. Monkey. Through the training camp to learn related systems, the learning mode of breaking through levels is very interesting and the learning efficiency has been greatly improved. At the same time, join the learning community to learn, students can exchange experiences, and they are more motivated than studying alone.
The final learning method adopted is: through systematic learning of data analysis thinking, mastering the operation skills of analysis tools, and supplementing project experience.
The list of books I have read includes: "Lean Data Analysis", "Data Analysis Thinking", "Model Thinking", "Pyramid Principles".
2. Submit your resume
Since I have been working for 5 years, I want to find a job I like. The main difficulty I face in writing my resume is how to connect my current work experience with data analysis.
I chose a case of a sales management sales promotion plan at work, focusing on showing data analysis thinking, and at the same time using Excel to demonstrate my skills, so as to prove that I have some general-purpose abilities that are immediately available. Ability is a common skill in the workplace.
In the learning community, monkeys helped to provide 1v1 resume revision services . However, making a resume needs to be gradually improved step by step. One revision may not be able to obtain satisfactory results. You can save it for use when you have completed your revisions and the interview notice is still not satisfactory. When the teacher corrected the resumes of other students and pointed out problems, I made the revisions after comparing my own resumes with similar problems. Don't be too lazy to revise your resume, otherwise it will be difficult to get an interview opportunity.
After making the resume, it was updated synchronously on Lagou.com, Boss Direct Employment, 51job, Zhaopin.com and Liepin. Later, depending on the delivery feedback, the focus was on Boss Direct Employment. , JD Logistics and several other interview opportunities.
At the same time, more attention should be paid to the internal referral opportunities posted in the community every day.
3. Interview preparation
I mainly prepare from three points before the interview.
1) Compare the job responsibilities and qualifications of the interview with your resume one by one, anticipate some questions that may be asked in the interview, sort out the ideas of speaking skills, and how to guide the interview in the direction you are good at
2) Understand the general situation of the corresponding industry through iResearch and other industry websites, and the communication during the interview will be smoother
3) You must be familiar with the project experience, and you must be able to explain the overall thinking framework clearly. There may be unexpected details in the details. It is recommended to ask a friend to simulate the interviewer's questions to see how well you can answer them.
If you are a classmate who changes careers like me, you need to transform things in your industry into expressions that others can easily understand.
4. Interview experience
The few interviews I received were all video interviews. After several interviews, the main questions were basically the same, so the review after each interview seems to have played a very good role now.
During the review process after the first interview, I found that some points were not clearly remembered, so the subsequent interviews were recorded for easy review. Let me talk about the interview questions I interviewed with JD.com.
Q: Do a simple self-introduction, introduce work information and personal information
Briefly introduce personal information, and then explain the relevance of current work and data analysis. The work content is divided into two aspects: meeting the data needs of the business (taking data for table monitoring), and providing decision support for the business (meeting analysis to the plan) ), what tools are mainly used in the work and the degree of mastery, why did you apply for this company.
Q: You said that the position of sales operation will involve the issuance of some reports, including daily/monthly reports, etc. Besides Excel, are the tools used, such as SQL, available?
At present, I don’t use SQL in my work, and then turned to say that this is also the reason for my career change. Due to the small data volume, slow iteration speed, and less effective positive feedback in traditional industries, I found some SQL projects to do. Currently, SQL The degree of mastery is xxxx.
Q: What are the specific tasks involving analysis in your current work?
I didn't understand this question correctly. I thought it was asking which aspects of analysis were done, so I answered which aspects of reports were made. Fortunately, the interviewer made the following follow-up questions, which should be strengthened according to the idea of making a report + making a plan in the job introduction.
Q: In addition to the monitoring of indicators, will there be analysis related work?
Yes, through the monitoring of the report, abnormalities are found and improvement plans are provided.
Q: To give a specific example, what problems did you analyze in your work, what impacts and risks did you have on the company, and how did you come up with a plan to improve and implement it?
The prepared work items are directly used, and the STAR rule is used to answer clearly one by one.
Q: Are you doing analysis reports independently now? How often do you do it?
Yes, it is a daily job, and it is basically done once a quarter according to the report monitoring situation.
Q: How much do you know how to use SQL?
Avoid talking about some imaginary things, and you can guide them to the SQL project in your prepared resume .
Q: There are several projects on the resume, briefly introduce one
Because the interviewer asked about the level of mastery of SQL, the SQL project was also introduced along the way. From the perspective of analysis background, analysis purpose, analysis ideas, data cleaning, and analysis content, the analysis thinking is better, but the SQL skills are neglected in the process. Fortunately, the follow-up questions are not delved into.
Q: Yes, I want to know if you are an introvert or an extrovert at work?
(A small hole was dug in the back) I tend to be introverted at work
Q: You are introverted, so did you communicate with business people during the analysis? To find some problem risk?
This is of course, emphasizing the importance of the ability to communicate with the business to data analysts, they should communicate repeatedly and iterate on the plan continuously.
Q: Yes, because this communication is not a one-off, but there will be communication in the whole process of interaction, so you think you are an introvert, can you have a good communication with them in the whole process?
Sometimes introversion or extroversion is not so important in communication. The current work communication is very smooth, because I have a sales experience before, I think familiarity with the business + empathy is more conducive to the smooth progress of communication. There are these advantages.
Q: Why did sales transfer to sales operations?
This kind of partial data analysis work can bring more sense of accomplishment.
Q: What are the advantages? What are the disadvantages?
Talk about the advantages related to data analysis, such as the communication skills mentioned above, and the shortcomings should emphasize what you did to improve.
Q: What are you doing now to improve your abilities?
It is said that a recruitment position is not involved, but the construction of business intelligence BI reports related to data analysis in school.
Q: I have worked in this company for a long time, what is the reason for leaving?
Q: What is the development plan for the next three years?
Q: For you, you are not very familiar with such a new industry. If you take over such a job, what efforts will you make to adapt to this job and do it well after you arrive? ?
Understand what the core indicators are, and communicate with business colleagues as soon as possible to understand specific business scenarios. Finally, some general questions.
Q: What are your current working hours? What do you think about working overtime?
Q: Where is your hometown? Are you married yet?
Q: What is the current salary? How many times have you raised your salary in your current company over the years? How is performance pay calculated?
Q: How long can I start working?
After that, the interviewer had no questions, and left time for me to ask a few questions:
A: What are the KPIs for this position?
A: How many people are there in the team? How is the division of labor?
A: If you join the job, will someone take it with you? What training is available?
5. Get an offer from JD.com and prepare to join the job
The interview efficiency of JD.com was quite high this time. I had a video interview for about half an hour on Friday night. After the interview, I gave positive feedback. Afterwards, we discussed the process on Monday, discussed salary on Tuesday, and sent an offer on Wednesday, which happened to be received. Today is my 30th birthday, and I am very lucky to have a new opportunity in the new decade.
