本人清华本科毕业，放弃了推研，申请出国失败，毕业后在北京某学校教书一段时间，9月份申请宝洁非应届职位CBD（客户商业发展部）部门的key account manager 。10.13笔试，一共两轮，具体细节不说了，精华区里面有，可能有的同学不知道TOEIC是啥，之前我也不知道，只是考试前一天从新东方的书店里抓了两本托业的书看看，很像托福，但是有些题型以及考察点不一样，最好大家提前看看，知己知彼考完笔试之后，让等通知，结果回来就收到了宝洁的一份问卷，问了三个问题，让于某某日中午前发回去，本来以为回答问题会决定面试与否，结果还没等发回去，宝洁就打电话通知面试去了。

10.17第一轮面试，对方是一个JJ，估计是HR得人，开始用英文介绍一下自己，然后就是中文了，主要问的问题还是那份问卷上的三个，再有就是有没有一个例子，你给自己设置了一个目标，比自己能力能达到的稍微高出一些，但是最后搞定了？其他的没有啥，我说的时候JJ狂记，后来才知道，那是为了再次问道看你说得跟上次一样不一样，防止杜撰，再有JJ一再要求能不能不用我发给他的那三个问题的回答，再给出一些例子，估计她是怕我这三个例子是找别人编的，最后结束，让我问个问题，这是惯例，必须要问，我问：“PG和联合利华比优势在哪？”她说：“你觉得那？”我...ft！没有直接回答，心里想，我不知道才问你呀，说：“从产品上看，PG的系发水品种很多，但是牙膏特别少，而联合礼华牙膏种类就多”结果JJ话匣子打开了“这是历史原因....”后来又谈到了PG的以人为本，JJ觉得很多公司都在COPY这点，但是真正能作到的只有PG，我表示赞同。结束的时候，JJ说，星期一之前我们会通知你面试（顿了一下）结果。


漫长的等待星期一之前我并没有接到电话，看来完了，结果周一早上来了电话，通知我面试，final了，哼哼

10.21下午，两个ROOM同时面试，面试官是三个人，一个JJ估计还是HR得人，另外两个GG是CBD的MANAGER，都很nice，基本过程跟前一次面试几乎一摸一样，还是就那些问题问，也是中文的，再有就是针对我简历上的一些经历随便问问，结束的时候每个人都跟我握手，感觉就像诀别，呵呵，很多人纳闷为什么宝洁没有英文面试，其实这种理念是对的，宝洁要找得是最合适得人，有些能力不需要，人家不需要最牛的，而是合适的，这点特别重要，所以面试前只需要好好想想那些问题，没必要特别多的准备，坦然的聊聊就行了，宝洁的人从头到尾给我感觉都很NICE，与其说是面试，不如说是聊天，之所以用中文就是不希望英文影响谈话的内容。呵呵没机会展示我暴烂的口语～～～


总的感觉，实话实说，平常心面对，其实面试只是大家见个面看看是不是适合对方，互相检验一下，成了就成了，不成也只能说明不是一路，不匹配。


肯定有些同学想看看我那三道题的feedback，贴出来大家随便看看：

Please answer the following questions in English within 1 hour to provide us concise examples from your experience that will help us better understand your capabilities. (Please note that this is not a test to assess your English writing skills.)
Questions:

1. Give an example of a time when you were leading and influencing the direction of a project or task.
In every winter, a ceremonious party named Dong Qing is held in my college. Not only undergraduates but also graduates regard it as an opportunity to contribute an outstanding act so as to win the prize, which represents the honor and reputation. As a junior student, I was in charge of my class’s performance. I had to deal with the pressure from study, my classmates’ disinterest to act, and my role as the compere of the whole party.

Planning and operating were very important. First, in order to organize a performance team and make it operate effectively, I observed everyone in my class and then distributed the appropriate work to him or her. Second, since at the end of the term each member was busy with study, the rehearsal schedule should be reasonable and periodic. All team members cooperated well because of the low frequency and short time of each rehearsal. Third, music and scene were added into rehearsal in order to get close to the circumstance of the party.

In addition, I emphasized the value of time and ordered every actor to respect other partners. Finally, our performance was very successful. Not only did I represent as compere wonderfully, but also got good marks in final exam.

2. Describe a situation when you faced a difficult problem and how you solved it.
In the last winter, I got the position as a New Oriental teacher successfully. However, GRE writing lesson was a very challenging field. There were many handicaps as following: 1) I taught thousands of students at one time, but different students must submit diverse essays in the test; 2) GRE writing test was painful haze for most Chinese examinee; 3) ETS discriminated against Chinese examinee badly; 4) there was only one week for  me to prepare 10 lessons.

Through study in feature of both GRE writing test and Chinese examinee, I figured out an approach named Template to solve the problem. In order to write a well-organized and long enough essay in the test, students could prepare a template, which included some words compatibly used for most topics. I demonstrated an example template to students and then teach them not only how to use it to complete articles but also how to produce their own personal templates. Most students improved writing skills steadily. Meanwhile the approach strongly retorted the discrimination from ETS. Furthermore, after I finished a lesson, I would prepare the next one. At last, my class and I were welcomed warmly and  a new model of writing class was established.

3. Give an example of a time when you were able to come up with new ideas that were key to the success of some activity or project.
In 2001, I took part in summer internship in China Development Bank
(http://www.cdb.com.cn/). My department aimed at analyzing loans and managing risks.
Traditionally, the bank only depended on financial criteria submitted by firms to evaluate the decision of lending money. However, I was longing to explore a new method and was attracted by an idea that I could use Game Theory to analyze the decision of  loans. First of all, since all banks shared information, there was Non-cooperative Game with  Symmetrical Information among the banks in the project. Second, both static and dynamic conditions were included. Under the former condition, I used Prisoner’s Dilemma Model to analyze and build Payoff Profile with 6 Players, and then figured out that there was Dominant Strategy – Loan the Money; under the latter condition, I used Game Tree (The Extensive Form of a Game) and figured out that if China Development Bank moved first and took an advantage , it may have an incentive to try to precommit itself to particular actions before other banks. During this period, I not only got the praise from my supervisor but also learned about the application of Game Theory.
