一大早出门，到的时候已经有几个GGJJ在了。大家相互介绍了下，都是很Nice的人，开始前大概讨论了下主要有什么问题，比如Team Spirit啦，Time Management啦。这个时候交了简历什么的，每人一个大信封，放在里面。
然后换了个屋子，材料已经放在桌上，每个人的名字也在桌上，大家对号入座。2个HR模样的人坐在后面，1个大概是Manager的板着脸，直接就说了Group Assessment的流程，时间，然后开始。
先是10分钟的看材料的时间，大家安静的看。大概3页还是4页，英文，不难，时间也差不多够用。然后是35分钟的小组讨论，其中最后10分钟是用来准备Presentation的。案例前面有帖子提到过得，只是大概看了下，后悔：
As member of the committee (members are from different functions), please suggest 5 strategies to fulfill ONE of the three objectives the telecom company wants to achieve to expand their market globally. Note that the company is a leading company in the domestic market and its main product are private communication systems and information systems. The three objectives are:
1_Reduce the product’s time to market;
2_Differentiate the product in innovation, quality and customer service;
3_Build a diversified (culture and background) workforce in international market.
我们做的是第一个，总之大家一通讨论，中文，中间要注意时间。气氛蛮好的，大家都说了自己的想法，并且相互完善，有很强的GGJJ帮忙总结出来，总算够了5条。很寒，我貌似没什么具体的贡献。。。然后分了下工，各自准备。
时间一到，Presentation开始，每个人都要说，英语。诶，这个时候就体现出英语好的优势了，我好不容易写了几句话都没能顺顺当当念出来，哭啊，紧张了。
本来之后还有个Q&A的环节。可是。。。可是。。。那个板着脸的Manager居然说"We have no question, you can leave this room now.”我晕，这不是就被赶出来了么。。。
下了楼，同组的大家们交换了手机号码，能认识些朋友也是不错的嘛。
就这样，我的首次面试结束了，晕，估计是被BS了。祝以后的大家好运吧！
以下的Tips是前几天从网上看到的，放在下面，在这里谢谢这位大人，希望对大家有帮助。。。
Details and tips in each session:
1. Before the assessment: We needed to fill a form to submit our CV and transcripts first. The HR manager also asked us to reconsider our application regarding the departments since consulting is very competitive and they always prefer experienced candidates. Audit hires the most and tax is the second largest hiring department. Then she read the instructions. Note that we can NOT ask any questions in later sessions until the Q&A session when they will ask us about our proposed strategies. We also had to make a brief self-introduction, which included name, university, major and the reason why you choose Deloitte.
2. Self reading: Read the instructions carefully, note that “Do not divide the whole group into sub groups!”, “Focus on only ONE objective”, etc.
3. Group discussion:
Pay special attention to the time management. In our case, we all agreed to have one of us keep an eye on the timing and keep reminding us of the time. So we did great in time management and the interviewers praised us for this as well.
Everyone should participate. Make sure nobody is silent in the process and everyone has the chance to contribute. Luckily, members in our group are all very active and we had a great time in brain storming. After the interview, the HR manager told me that the most important attribute they are looking for in group assessment is “Team spirit”. So do remember that this is not “ONE- MAN show”.
Clarify the objective and framework first before discussion. Our group agreed to my proposal, which is based on the three differentiators: innovation, quality and customer service. Then under each differentiator we talked about the strategies relating to functional departments. It worked well and I think we were very clear in the logical thinking and discussion.
Leave enough time for presentation preparation. We left 10 minutes for preparation, the first 5 minutes for group discussion and the last 5 minutes for each one to prepare their parts. (Note that the interviewer said we should NOT do this since this is sub grouping! Luckily we performed well as a group anyway. ) |
