The introduction

Because the author is to do iOS development, so this article is only to do iOS peers targeted, other directions for reference only.

If you are:

  • One year or so working experience, undergraduate, non-computer related majors born, the school is more general.

  • The practice enterprise is not ideal to have no sign, the school enrol a unit to have very big gap with imagination.

  • I feel anxious about my future every day and admire the development opportunities of dachang students very much.

  • I think I am a self-motivated, enthusiastic and executive person, and I believe I can do it on my own.

If you want to go to Dachang in a similar situation? So read on now.

It’s no use just reading this article. You need to prove that you meet the last requirement, have the ability to execute, and most importantly.

Some Suggestions on

Your situation is not unique, there are a lot of people like you in the market, the supply and demand is very awkward. Therefore, the right job opportunities will be very rare, large factories recruit 1-3 years of people is not much, and the competition will be very fierce, there may be a dozen or even dozens of people with you to grab a post, for this to have psychological preparation.

The following suggestions are based on my own experience and are helpful to students in similar situations.

The right mindset

As mentioned above, the competition is fierce, and no phone calls or failed interviews are common. Job changes are a tug of war, often lasting months. It’s not your problem. It took me more than three months. So it’s not that you’re bad at it, it’s a process that everyone goes through. In the process, there will be a variety of ideas, such as naked resignation to concentrate on finding a job, or want to change direction, or even run to graduate school.

For students with only one year of experience, there will be more negative emotions because they have not been recognized by the industry. Interview face a hang a, for example, the original position of the hot water stay not bottom go to, very not easy to have an interview, a hanging a, spent a lot of energy and money on the trip and leave, the boss suspicious colleagues, has yet to find excuses all out, again and again disappointed, mentality collapsed, not feel.

This is a time when you have to get over it and you may want to talk to your girlfriend about life and get her to cheer you up. What? What if I don’t have a girlfriend?

Writing a good resume is very important

Resumes are really important. The wrong resume can result in not getting an interview at all, or getting burned during the interview.

My advice on resumes is:

Within two pages, keep it simple and generous. Don’t be colorful, don’t post pictures, and don’t write anything your partner doesn’t care about.

With only one year of work experience, if you’re not a genius, you can’t fit more than two pages. Refine the sentence and shorten the length. Photos multiplied to increase resume capacity not to say, although good-looking people, life as open hanging, if not open hanging effect, or don’t put. Don’t write anything that’s not relevant to the job. It’s an iOS developer and they won’t care if you play the guitar or the piano.

Markdown is recommended, and other options are acceptable. Be sure to write it as a PDF.

Don’t you know that Office opens slowly on your Mac? Didn’t you know the format would mess up?

Be prepared to be asked questions about every single piece of your resume.

Quite a number of interviewers may be usually busy, or was called to the interview at the moment did not have any preparation, so they will follow the resume one by one down. So make sure everything on your resume has something to say. Something the interviewer may not be good at, and he or she will ask you to say what it is and what it does, so make sure you have something to say.

Preparing for your resume is easy, do it, and don’t take any chances. Once you find out what your resume says you don’t know, you’re done.

Project experience should be bright, write less nutrition things.

If every project wrote a bunch of calls to the XXX framework XXX library, it would be meaningless. Use XXX library only means that you can understand the README will call the interface, these are no threshold, distilled into a sentence can be. Try to write some threshold content, such as modified XXX framework, do special optimization, these will attract the interviewer’s interest.

Try to use humble words.

This will help you avoid a resume that goes too far and leads to a bloody interview. Mastery is definitely the red line. Whoever writes dies. Mastery of one or two of the skills that you’ve been using since college or even high school is ok. Other understanding, simple understanding is ok. Those who can say they are skilled at writing a small thing are in danger of interviewing.

Have an ace in the hole.

With a year or so of experience, the competition is very fierce. There may be dozens of people competing with you for a position in a big factory. You have to be the best one. So from now on, prepare to do a little bit of in-depth research in a specific area, such as optimization, animation, security, etc., write. If the interviewer is interested and you have something to say, you stand a good chance of winning.

Keep in touch with your peers

Communicating with peers is a shortcut to learning. By comparing with others, you can know where the gap is, which is very helpful to the depth and breadth of your knowledge. A man playing alone is like a frog in a well, having no idea what the outside world looks like. Of course, the real solo is never able to see my article, if you can see my article, that is not too bad.

Want to enter big factory, must be to big factory counterparts to learn lessons. What they’re doing, what they know, what books they’ve read, when they’re hiring, whether they can push in, etc. This information can be a beacon that points you in the right direction.

Make up your own lessons

From the beginning of contact with peers, will gradually find the gap. The rest is easy. Study on your own in your spare time. At first, when one is fighting, there are few sources of learning materials, but when one is communicating with others, there are many sources. Remember the motivation and execution I mentioned at the beginning of this article? At this point you might have a list of books or a list of blogs, lots of articles. Digestion needs a certain amount of time, can stick to it is very key.

Here are two pieces of advice @KuaileJim gave me:

  • When you think it’s too damn hard for me to learn, learn something else and come back and try again later.

  • Take technical articles with a grain of salt, and if it’s something you can verify, write your own Demo to validate it.

We all experienced the college entrance examination, learning this kind of thing, I believe we all understand.

Prepare well for the interview

Big factory interviews are routine.

You can get these tips from blogs, etc., or you can get them in person by going to several meetings. Knowledge points are accumulated at ordinary times, review before the interview. The interview is also to see luck and fate, algorithm and basic questions can test things very much, even if the review needs to hit enough time to go down may not be able to hit the test point, their best.

The focus of each interview must be different depending on the company and position. After understanding each other’s business and job responsibilities, it will be more effective to make targeted preparations. Do not prepare blindly. For example, a development position at a live streaming company, various video streaming and live streaming agreements should be prepared.

Finally, a suggestion from @KuaileJim:

  • Be confident, don’t be timid. The worst thing you can do in an interview is fail.

If you fail the interview, straighten yourself out. This is no one’s fault, just fate has not arrived. It’s a blessing in disguise. Maybe something better will come along soon?

conclusion

My previous year’s development environment was not ideal, this time after a full three months of struggle to succeed. During this period, I experienced three failures and mental collapse, and became suspicious of myself. My job-hopping requirements became lower and lower, and MY face became more and more cowardly, under great pressure. During this period, I am very grateful to my friends for their encouragement and help. I believe that I have become stronger after these experiences.

Finally, I wish the students who are self-motivated and have executive ability can enter the company they want to go to.
