外商中階管理職面試分享 Nike/Amazon/Dassault/Pharma - 海外工作

這是之前發表在Work in China的文章,
想說對海外工作版的版友也會有幫助,
因此再把文章編修了一下,
希望對於在大陸地區想轉職到外商中階管理層的版友有幫助!

--------------------------正文開始-----------------------------


從今年初到現在陸陸續續有一些轉職面試的經驗,
驚覺年華老去記憶衰退,
因此趁著還有模糊記憶的時候趕快寫下來分享給大家,
希望對各位求職有所幫助!
這樣的習慣也可以檢視自己面試時的優缺點,
我覺得是每一個求職者都應該培養的!

Annual Package: Roughly 2M to 2.5M TWD in total

總結:
最後沒拿到Offer,
我想主因是Case Study時沒有講到Hiring Manager想要聽的點,
這是少數開在台灣的外商區域型職缺,
Hiring Manager也一直說他找這個位子已經很久了,
他一直試著想把這個位子留在台灣
但一直找不到英文溝通流利並有豐富專案經驗及溝通技巧的台灣人才,
因此現在也不排斥把這個位子開在上海或者印度!

-------------------------------終於結束的分隔線-------------------------

呼, 終於寫完了,
長篇大論了一番,
還是希望對各位有幫助,
最後簡單的建議大家,
面試經驗非常可貴,
最好能把每次的面試過程做個筆記,
面試之前Check Company Profile, Annual Report, Letter to Stakeholder更是基本!
不管最後有沒有錄取,
寫封感謝信跟HR保持良好關係總是沒有壞處的!

下台一鞠躬!!
