Capturing The Opportunities
You
Seek
by Larry Wang

Talk to
just about anyone who is involved in hiring talent for international companies
in China right now and they’ll tell you the same thing. Recruitment
and search companies will tell you that they are seeing a great deal of
hiring activity among their clients. In-house HR professionals will
tell you that they are actively trying to identify top talents to fill many
positions that are critical for their company’s business growth. At
Wang & Li as well, we are seeing many openings for key middle to
executive management roles across just about every industry and job function.
At the same time, the caliber of
China’s professional talent is also getting better and better each
day. And it’s happening quickly. This is a reality of today’s
job market in the mainland. As a result, the main question for anyone
in this market to ask isn’t so much, “Where are the opportunities?”
It is, “How do I stand out and capture those opportunities that I wish to
attain?”
In fact, our company comes across
many professionals who have demonstrated academic excellence early on in
their lives. In the initial stages of their professional career, they
go on to prove themselves as solid, individual contributors. During
this time, they also work at developing themselves for future management
roles in a global company. Many even make a heavy personal investment
to attain their MBA, either part or full-time. Yet, as mid-career
professionals, the level of success that they have achieved to date does
not seem to match their overall qualifications and efforts.
Unfortunately, when it comes to critical hiring and promotion situations,
they fail to stand out as a strong enough candidate for the opportunities
that they are targeting. How come? <For

Excerpt from
Know The Game, Play The Game
From Chapter 10: Interviewing Well
By Larry Wang
Do your Homework
|
|
Getting an interview is one
thing, performing well during one is another. What affects your interview
performance more than anything else is the preparation you do beforehand.
Before any interview, do your homework and learn as much as you can about
the company interviewing you. Find out how strong their China business is?
What is their standing in the market? What stage of growth are they in?
Who are their main competitors?
Such information allows you
to present and position yourself better, by speaking intelligently and
insightfully about the company and industry you're dealing with. "I
interview a lot of candidates who want to get into corporate finance," says
Barbara Spurling, former vice president of training, development, and
staffing of Asia Pacific Region for Merrill Lynch. "It’s an immediate
turn-off whenever someone comes into an interview completely unprepared.
But the opposite is also true. It impresses me whenever a candidate can
speak with some level of depth about our business or what's going on with
our company."
Barbara feels that, at the
very least, candidates should have a basic understanding of her company's
activities in China. "With the accessibility of information over the
Internet today, there's really no excuse not to be knowledgeable and
prepared," she says.
Knowledge of an employer
can also reflect your preparedness for taking on a new position with them.
Multinational companies want people who can fit in immediately and perform
with minimal start-up time. Therefore, indicate to the interviewer that you
know what you're getting into, by displaying a good sense of the company’s
culture, their strategy, and their main products and/or services. By
demonstrating an understanding of their business, you can impress upon a
potential employer that you can get up to speed and add value quickly.
