central theme
Chapter One: Interview Mentality
1.1 It’s not a job search, it’s an investment
1.1.1 Your career is an investment
1.1.2 Invest time, energy and opportunities
Go to the interview with an investment mentality, which creates a new type of interview relationship: investment relationship
Time, energy and opportunity are investment chips
Past experience and work results are investment cases
Looking for new job opportunities means looking for new investment opportunities and pursuing more investment returns.
Analyze and judge job opportunities from an investment perspective
1.2 It’s easy to recruit people, but it’s hard to find people
1.2.1 Finding someone is a small probability event
80/20 rule
Find people: Use 80% of the power and resources to find the top 20% of talents, who will create 80% of the company's performance
Recruiting: Use 20% of the power and resources to find the remaining 80% of the people, who will create 20% of the company's performance
1.2.2 “Who you are” determines the game relationship
Buyer's market: The supply of goods exceeds demand, competition among sellers is fierce, and buyers are in an active position
Seller's market: The supply of goods exceeds demand, buyers are vying for the first place, and sellers are in an active position
In an open and normal talent market, if you are among the top 20% of talents in a certain field, then your product will be in short supply.

2. New economic structure is taking shape
3. Consumption concepts are changing
Material consumption for the purpose of possession→Spiritual consumption for the purpose of experience and interaction
I work for myself and create value for my customers, not for the company.
1.3.2 Establish mutually beneficial and cooperative workplace relationships
"Hello, how can I help you?"
First, this new type of workplace relationship is altruistic and mutually helpful.
Everyone in the workplace is both a devotee and an enjoyer
The traditional employment relationship places more emphasis on the manager getting paid to work, and the manager paying the worker.
Second, this new type of workplace relationship is equal and connected.
Abandon small positions and small interests and instead think about how to promote collaboration and obtain results.
Third, this new type of workplace relationship is trusting and open

Fact 1: Many job descriptions are copied from the Internet and do not fully conform to the company’s actual situation.
Fact 2: Many positions are not necessarily for recruiting people to work, but may also be used to balance struggles and games.
