What are some of the qualities of a desirable candidate? What interview tips that might come to handy to job seekers? Robert Parkinson, CEO & Founder of RMG Selection, was interviewed in China Radio International Education Today on Nov.21st. Robert says that what most companies are looking for are candidates with positive work ethics and hard-working attitude. Most Chinese young people are hoping for highly-paid jobs in their 20s, but Robert promises that if people work hard in their 20s, good pay-back will come in their 30s or 40s.
As for the difference between Chinese and western companies, Robert notes that Chinese companies desire well-experienced candidates with expertise in certain areas, whereas western companies prefer those who are mature and can rise up to challenges. As for the interview tips, Robert suggests that interviewees spend at least 2 hours on background check of a company instead of a quick Baidu search. What’s more, formal dressing is a must and questions of salary and working hours should be avoided until the final discussion with the HR department.
