面試求職者有感
筆者雖然並非專門從事HR工作，但近幾年在會計師樓負責過自己部門內的數十次的招聘面試，由fresh graduates到experienced hires都有。所以可在此分享一些與求職者會面的經驗。 通常來面試的Junior人數比較多，而且CV的內容都大同小異，多半是剛畢業的學業成績記錄及其相關的課外活動或兼職工作經驗，要在芸芸大海之中找到一個突出的求職者面試其實已經很難。 與這些求職者會面，一般所花的時間都比較長，包括小組面試及個人面試，「第一感覺」的比重也相當高。比較起來，熱誠的工作態度及靈活的處事方式比起Transcript 上會計科成績攞A+更加重要。因為這類的同事，會事事積極進取，在忙碌的工作中也能保持著穩定的情緒面對挑戰。 至於experienced hires，在筆者而言，對工作熱誠仍然是必不可少的。其次看重的是有否具備行業的觸覺及領導才能。行業觸覺是行業知識的更高層次水平，有行業知識，才能建立行業觸覺。即使面對從未遇過的情況(顧問工作時有發生)，仍能以既有的知識和獨立的判斷力去解決問題。另外，我們的工作都是按項目形式分小組並需於短期內完成，是否具有領導才能及相關經驗(例如管理過多少同事)亦是關鍵所在。適當地分配工作及知人善任，做事才會更有效率。
