Chapter 1285 - The Notebook for Tengda’s Recruiting Examination
Chapter 1285: The Notebook for Tengda’s Recruiting Examination
November 1st, Thursday…
It was Tengda’s recruitment season again. Wu Bin from the HR department came to invigilate the exam as usual. He looked at the bustling crowd outside the examination hall and felt a little emotional.
Wu Bin could sense the rapid development of Tengda Corporation every time the recruitment examinations were held.
He was one of the first batch of employees to enter Tengda’s recruitment examinations. At that time, Tengda’s recruitment examinations had only been a prototype.
Compared to other companies, Tengda’s recruitment examinations had been very formal and large-scale from the beginning. However, compared to the recruitment examinations that followed, they only contained the most basic content.
The HR department naturally did not slack off either. That was because the Tengda recruitment exam was the most critical step in selecting talents. They had to control it from the source.
Every year, the examination questions would be updated. Some new questions would be added, and the contents of various professional knowledge would be refined.
What’s more, the examination process was stricter and more confidential.
Ever since the Tengda recruitment examinations, the contents of the examinations had changed slightly.
That was the first time he had added the contents of the Tengda Spirit test in the written test!
Wu Bin was the one who had pushed for this.
That was because Wu Bin felt that it would be a pity if the employees were eliminated because they could not pass the Tengda Spirit test after going through the written test, the interview of the person-in-charge, and so on.
To Tengda, this was a waste of resources. To the interviewees, this was a wasted effort. It was a little too cruel.
Thus, Wu Bin suggested adding some content for the Tengda Spirit test during the written test. He would eliminate a portion of those who did not fit the Tengda Spirit from the beginning and try to reduce the unhappiness on both sides.
Of course, as the interpreter of the Tengda spirit, Wu Bin knew very well that everyone’s understanding of the Tengda spirit, including his own, was relatively one-sided and incomplete. The person who truly and completely grasped the Tengda spirit was Boss Pei.
In other words, the Tengda Spirit test that Boss Pei had set was the real test.
In order to prevent mistakes, Wu Bin only came up with questions that were relatively confident and had relatively standard answers based on his understanding of the Tengda spirit and Boss Pei’s original questions.
These questions did not take up a lot of points in the entire written test. They only took up about 15 points out of 100 points.
Wu Bin felt that this share was just right.
Not only would the ratio not be too high, but it would also not be able to detect the basic abilities of the candidates. At the same time, it would be able to play a shortcut.
15 marks might not be a lot, but sometimes, the results of a key position were only one or two marks away.
That was because more and more people were taking part in Tengda’s recruitment examinations. Everyone had cleared the questions and were very capable.
Under the premise that everyone was outstanding, sometimes it was really just the difference in a few points.
This had the effect of screening: choose the group of people who were more in line with the Tengda spirit among people with similar basic skills and professional skills.
The questions for the Tengda Spirit test had been released half a year ago during the Tengda recruitment exam. At that time, it had caused a certain amount of controversy in the candidates’ circle.
However, there was no widespread discussion online.
That was because these questions were not directly written as ‘questions for the Tengda Spirit test’. Instead, they were cleverly dispersed into different types of questions.
Most people only felt that they suddenly encountered a free point question while doing it. At most, they left some impression, but they did not leave too deep a memory.
Most people did not realize the meaning of these questions at all. They did not delve into their deeper meaning. Many questions were more worth discussing.
For example, in Tengda Games, the final question every year would be a game design question. It required one to design a game that was completely different from the games on the market under the premise of limiting a few key conditions.
This question was the most hotly discussed every year.
Thus, the questions for the Tengda Spirit test that were inserted into various modules were less obvious in front of so many unique questions.
Wu Bin was very satisfied with this. He felt that this was a small contribution that he had made in the HR department.
Wu Bin kept his Employment pass and walked out of the examination hall.
He liked to walk around during the recruitment examinations every year, see the attitude of the candidates, and feel the enthusiasm of everyone when they took the recruitment examinations.
Sometimes, he could even gain something from this ‘private visit’.
For example, during the recruitment examinations last November, Wu Bin discovered that some organizations were already doing the real questions and analysis for Tengda’s recruitment examinations. They were selling them as guide books.
For example, ‘Detailed Answers for Tengda’s Entrance Examination’, ‘The Encyclopedia for Tengda’s Entrance Examination’, ‘Prediction of Professional Knowledge Questions for Tengda’s Entrance Examination’, and so on.
These did not come from internal leaks but were compiled by many training organizations after seeing the benefits.
There were similar situations in many examinations. Training organizations would specially organize people to sign up. They would not answer the questions after entering. Instead, they would memorize the questions. Everyone would memorize a small part of it. Combined, it would be a complete set of questions.
After that, these organizations would organize people to answer questions. They would compare the results with those who took ordinary examinations and be able to come up with a general standard answer.
Of course, this was only limited to the objective questions. The deviation from the subjective questions would be too huge.
That was also why candidates who did not recommend the domestic examination spent too much time on the test questions for the thesis. That was because those were not real standard answers. Instead, they were answers written by training organizations themselves.
They would improve after reading it, but the improvement would not be huge.
Comparatively, the standard answers for the objective questions were more meaningful.
This situation was basically unavoidable. The candidates had to use their brains to memorize the questions. They could not possibly cause them to lose their memories when they left the examination hall, right?
A blow to the back of each person’s head? That wouldn’t do either.
The only way to effectively delay this situation was not to announce the specific scores but to only announce the results of the admission.
However, doing so would obviously do more harm than good.
That was because most objective questions had roughly answered with the questions. The questions could not possibly violate objective rules and common sense.
On the other hand, if he did not announce the specific scores, it would easily make people feel that the exam was not formal. If he played under-the-table operations, fairness would be doubted.
Most of them were less transparent than those who could score high marks for questions.
Boss Pei’s Tengda Spirit test questions were completely closed off. However, Boss Pei had personally set them up after all. What’s more, he had targeted interns in the company. No one would have any questions.
However, Tengda’s recruitment examinations were for the entire society after all. It was unrealistic to make it completely closed.
Thus, the only way was to update the question bank every year so that the impact of the questions would be reduced.
He could not reduce it too low either, because preparations for the examinations were very important.
Wu Bin did not dislike the existence of these tutors. Their existence was still reasonable. It was just like how the country did not directly ban the tutoring organizations for the domestic examinations.
It would be good as long as this guidance did not mislead people.
Wu Bin walked around the examination hall and saw many touching scenes of people cheering each other on and entering Tengda.
As he walked, a man in a coat suddenly walked up to him and said in a low voice, “Brother, are you here for the exam? Do you want a guide?”
For some reason, Wu Bin felt like someone was trying to sell him a porn disc.
Wu Bin suddenly felt sympathetic as he looked at the guide seller in the coat.
Bro, isn’t it a little late for you to be selling a guide now?
This was just like going to sell sword skills to a swordsman who was about to go to Mount Hua. It could not be done in a short time.
“It’s almost time for the exam. Isn’t it too late to sharpen up now?” Wu Bin asked.
The guide seller smiled mysteriously. “It’s not too late! I’m not selling the regular guide. I’m selling the answers and analysis of the ‘special questions’ that were newly released during Tengda’s exam!”
Wu Bin was stunned. “Special questions? What are those?”
The guide seller explained, “Didn’t you do the real question from the last time? It’s about whether you want to work overtime.”
“These questions are scattered in different sections. They might be in different positions, but they can be roughly classified as one type. What’s more, we haven’t seen them in other exams. That’s why we call them ‘special questions’.”
Wu Bin was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Weren’t these the new questions for the Tengda Spirit test?
Did someone notice so quickly?
On further thought, it was normal to be noticed. After all, the style of these questions was completely different from other questions. They were like fireflies in the night, difficult to be ignored.
It was one thing that there was no widespread discussion online, but it was another thing if no one paid attention.
Tengda’s question bank would be changed every time. Even if these organizations could rely on the elimination method to confirm some answers, it would not be useful. However, the key was in the analysis.
This academic advisor actually said that there was an analysis of these mental test questions?
Could it be that the Tengda spirit manual had leaked?
Impossible.
The Tengda spirit manual that Wu Bin had summarized previously was an internal publication. Only trusted employees could obtain it from the person-in-charge. It should not be leaked out.
As a summary of the Tengda spirit, Wu Bin had always attached great importance to confidentiality.
“Give me one.” Wu Bin felt that he had to buy one for work.
“Alright, fifteen.” The guide seller took out a small booklet about the size of a palm from inside his coat. It looked like it only had ten pages.
“Fifteen? This is daylight robbery!” Wu Bin was shocked.
He already knew that guides were more expensive.
After all, knowledge was priceless… It would be good enough if they were willing to sell it to you. There was no need to be calculative about whether it was expensive or not.
What’s more, the guidance was targeted at people who were in need after all. It did not matter if it was more expensive. Most people had invested so much time in the exam. Why would they care about 20 to 30 yuan?
However, such a small book was actually sold for fifteen yuan?
This was simply outrageous and incomprehensible.
The guide seller smiled. “Brother, don’t think that it’s expensive. There are only a few pages, but we’ve put in a lot of effort behind the scenes!”
“Think about it. Memorizing the questions from the examination hall, combining the scores to confirm the correct answers, and then summarizing the common purpose of the questions from these correct answers. Get a general analysis. How much work is that?!”
“What’s more, the competition for Tengda’s recruitment examinations is so intense. The difference in score might be the difference between getting in and failing. Think about Tengda’s salary and treatment. Isn’t it good to buy a dream for fifteen yuan?”
“What’s more, this thing is a speedy process. There’s a summary rule in it. You can see the effect after flipping through it before the exam. Don’t you think it’s worth it?”
Wu Bin was speechless.
All of a sudden, he felt like the seller made sense.
“Alright, I’ll get one.” Wu Bin took out his cell phone and obediently scanned the QR code to pay.
