Chapter 609: 410. A little job-seeking experience
Although it’s stipulated that people unrelated from other schools cannot enter, even just the students from Nanhu University alone couldn’t fill the auditorium.
Every seat was occupied, and those left had no choice but to crowd in, standing in the aisles, eagerly awaiting the few guests of the meeting.
"Hello everyone~ It’s great to see so much enthusiasm today!"
Under the hosting of the Student Union Chairperson, He Ying, the meeting began as scheduled.
"I know, the reason everyone is so supportive must be because you’re looking forward to our esteemed guests."
"However, before our guests take the stage, I need to take a little of everyone’s time, as instructed by the school leaders, to share my understanding and judgment of the current employment situation."
In this regard, He Ying, who already has work experience, speaks with ease.
She shared her personal experiences and insights on several topics including aspects such as fresh graduate identity, the choice between further study and employment, interview skills, and the online sign-up process.
On the large screen at the back was a PPT made by He Ying herself, packed with substantial content.
As the assistant to the chairman of Golden Stone, she even spent five minutes specifically guiding students on how to prepare their resumes.
"That’s all I’ll say. Fellow students must take proactive actions, position yourselves reasonably, carefully prepare for job-seeking, and strive for more opportunities!"
"Next is the Career and Life Forum section. We are fortunate to have invited several company leaders to the scene, who will share their experiences and answer questions based on real-life scenarios."
"First, let’s welcome President Chen from Douyu, a shining beacon of Jiang City’s internet."
Applause immediately broke out as President Chen walked out from backstage, smiling warmly and waving to the fresh graduates, with looks of excitement and anticipation from the students.
In fact, as the most well-known unicorn internet company in Jiang City at this stage, Douyu doesn’t lack talent.
It almost siphons off most graduates from Jiangcheng University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology, the two leading Project 985 universities, who intend to work locally.
As for schools like Nanhu University, in Douyu’s rapid expansion phase, even getting through the resume stage is difficult.
At a time when they are undergoing rounds of financing and aggressively recruiting talents, Douyu is willing to offer high salaries, making the competition quite fierce.
For President Chen to come to Nanhu University to speak on employment, it’s undoubtedly a morale booster for all the fresh graduates present.
The significance of this action is self-evident.
President Chen’s appearance will surely open the door for campus recruitment.
"Nanhu University has produced some outstanding individuals in recent years, and talents graduating from Nanhu University always bring us delightful surprises."
"Today, I’m here mainly to introduce our company’s specific situation, benefits, and talent training model. We welcome everyone to submit their resumes actively!"
President Chen maintained a leisurely pace throughout his speech, with a cheerful expression.
While speaking, the fresh graduates below widened their eyes.
The positions offered to Nanhu University, apart from non-campus recruitment avenues like live streamers, include common roles such as operations, development, and product managers, with starting salaries directly benchmarked against Jiang City’s nine Project 211 universities.
It’s well-known that undergraduate institutions are usually tiered in the job market.
Project 985 for the highest tier, Project 211 for the next, followed by others.
President Chen’s appearance effectively elevated the starting salary level for fresh graduates from Nanhu University by one tier in one go.
Though meant to be a serious and earnest mobilization meeting sharing job-seeking techniques and experiences, the hall was filled with excited cheers and shouts from the group of fresh graduates.
Freshmen and sophomores also followed along, chattering excitedly among themselves.
"Senior, has our school reached Project 211 standards?"
"You’re thinking too much; it’s just that President Chen finds talent in our school and gives us face."
"Why does President Chen give us face?"
"Oh right, you don’t have the guest introduction shared by the counselors, so you wouldn’t know."
In a corner, an excited senior was explaining the reason to a clueless junior.
"The two taking the stage next are the talents who brought great benefits to President Chen and directly boosted our school’s employment reputation."
"I’m here to see Mou Keyan, but who’s the other one?"
"Find out for yourself."
President Chen’s speech was direct and simple, unlike other companies that talk about development history or corporate culture.
He briefly introduced policies, benefits, and standards in a few words, and didn’t take much more time.
"Thanks to President Chen for the wonderful sharing, and remember everyone to apply to Douyu Live during the spring recruitment!"
In a fitted small suit, He Ying came back on stage to continue the process.
"The next invited guest is from our Nanhu University."
"He is a company boss who keeps his word and also a full-time undergraduate student attending from 8 AM to 5 PM."
"He started a business with just a small office in the corner of the campus, developed and incubated lines of business including live streaming, short videos, and content commercialization, and his signed talents are flourishing."
"Although he’s younger than us, he has knowledge and work experience that don’t match his actual age."
"Let’s invite the founder of the ’Golden Stone’ IP, Lu Jincheng, a first-year student at Nanhu University, to speak!"
As soon as He Ying finished speaking, the crowd erupted once more.
The connecting script from the host was prepared by a small assistant personally, with strong emotional appeal.
Whether they were insiders who had heard the name before or those immersed in studies for postgraduate exams, everyone couldn’t help but cheer loudly and clap vigorously after hearing He Ying’s introduction.
A first-year student teaching fourth-year students about employment guidance seems like a bizarre and humorous matter.
But when it comes to Lu Jincheng, everything makes sense.
"Never thought Xiao Lu was this popular."
In the front row of the school leaders’ seats, Principal Cong turned his head with a smile and whispered to Guo Minjie in the back row.
"Because he’s so capable yet so young."
"Standing at the front, he doesn’t have the distant aura of a successful person."
The head of the Student Work Office, with her hair in a high bun, smiled softly, and even her gaze became gentle.
"Rui Rui, look! Lu Jincheng is actually giving a speech! Oh my God!"
"He really is today..."
"How can he appear in such an occasion? I’m just curious, does the school have any sense?"
Just like most of the fellow students who followed the trend to the event.
Zhong Ruixi’s entire dorm was there on site.
Xu Ya and Ni Jiayun were frantically tugging at sleeves, winking, and using their elbows to nudge Zhong Ruixi.
The half-spoken sentence was understood by everyone.
Standing on the stage, Lu Jincheng seemed to break the word ’handsome’ into pieces and throw it fiercely in front of the audience.
The neat, three-dimensional formal wear, the straight and full shoulders, the perfectly arched jaw, the distinct layers of hairstyle...
When the lights hit, cheers rang out continuously, and the man exuded a full presence.
"Hello everyone~"
He simply walked to the microphone, clearing his throat lightly in a relaxed manner.
