晴天公仔的Blog

今天去笔暴利地产了～本来之前是想尽量少投的了，但那晚看了舍友从宣讲会拿回来的宣传单，再想想之前看的投行对他未来三年的年均100%的复合增长率，我还是在截止那晚开始了网申。据去听宣讲的同学说是当晚12点截止的，结果我太低估他们家网申的难度，结果写OQ写到0：17分才搞掂。

心想，可能没戏了。结果隔了天就收到了保利地产的笔试通知。其实，相比起我认识的很多没机会笔试的同学，我已经很幸运了。我还是觉得自己很受老天眷顾的，不但截止了才投也收到通知，而且貌似我们班就我一个去笔财务部，不过当然不排除他们直接就没申拉:P

说回笔试，这次笔试前没准备，结果当然是被狠狠地BS了。暴利地产财务部的笔试主要分专业知识和综合素质两部分。说白了，前半部分就是中财+税法+财务管理的期末考试的选择、判断版，后半部分直接就是行测里面的数学和推理部分。而结果也很明显——前半部分的专业知识很多都忘了，大部分乱猜（也有一部分是根本不懂，特别是很多新出台的和房地产相关的税收条款）。然后开始后悔平时不努力学习，等到考前才疯狂突击的大学生涯。而后半部分的行测，由于我之前也做过类似的题，这次觉得非常顺手。

唉～既然被BS了，就当这次是行测的提前练兵吧=_=

最后是比较沉重的一点反思。之前听去宣讲的同学说，保利来的几个人都是管院的。当时对保利的印象就觉得他有点偏管院，毕竟老总是在管院读EMBA的。直到今天笔试后才发现，岭院的同学在实操上和管院比起来真的有一段距离。又或者是说，岭南和管院的培养方向本来就有所区别——岭南更偏向理论（或者说“吹水”，大一就听说在岭南必学的就是“用英文吹水”）而管院更偏重实际操作。具体来说，以会计系为例，管院的会计系基本上以“实战”出名的，一到寒暑假，他们都会去会计师事务所实习，练习技能，课程设置也更偏向实际操作。而财税在岭院来说也算实操性比较强的了，但我觉得自己是更擅长于和人吹中国宏观经济问题、用模型分析财税和经济问题而非税法、会计等具体到很细的操作。

这也就是为什么在宣讲上看到很多管院的学生成了保利的员工，而没有岭院的。因为很简单，我们很难通过保利地产那非常重视考核专业实践知识的第一轮笔试！以前经历惯的都是安永、KPMG、IBM等外企无专业区分的笔试题，现在回归到国企，才发现自己之前对专业实践的忽视，是多么大的一个致命伤。

我可不希望自己只能拥抱外企，而根本没法通过国企的第一轮笔试关……反思的背后，更希望自己能顺利度过这个阵痛期，在具有更广视野的同时，扎实打好实操功底。之前上杨卫华老师的课时，他常会指出我们在这方面与管院的差距，但我一直不以为意，直到真正意识到那巨大的差距……

以反思作为执行的目标，走好下一步！路还很长，思考会更多，希望自己能更加成熟。

It takes me nearly 2 hours in order to finish the super-long-one-page application form. Well, personally speaking, I'm not afraid of his super-long and no-save-button application form if the network in SYSU are operating as usual.

What I wanna damn is the fucking network system in SYSU. Just before I completed the last word of HSBC's open question, the worst thing happened, though it happened everyday, that the network system failed again! Well, thank goodness I opened another web page before submitting the application form. You can imagine the situation when that web page freezed, then the "404 error" suddently dumped up! If that situation happened to my application form, I don't think I have the courage to fill it again...

And finally, I got the confirm letter. The body totally relaxed at that very moment. I don't know whether I can step forward a little bit, well, it depends on the luck.

Finally it comes to the end of the class, well, to tell the truth, I am mainly satisfy with the content of the class except the little chance for improving my oral English, which is my original target when taking this course.

And one more thing I learned, which is much important to me, from the process of the course is that I'm really not the right person for the job in Big Four. Because I felt too tired during this days, when the activity schedule is more or less the same as that in Big Four. If I have to get up at around 7:00AM, then spend more than twelve hours killing my brann cell, and finally spread out myself on the bed after 1:00AM, I must be made mad. >_<

I'm not really willing to change my health with money when I am young, and then change them back when I am an old man.

That means, I may not apply for those companies. I've made up my mind!

Nothing special today except that there's only one day left! Learn something, but still practise oral English in a very short time.

One thing I realized in today's class is that sometimes we should avoid walking toward the narrow and bloody direction of the career path. That means we can think of putting the target away from the hottest multinational, there are many other companies can provide us the same level of salary as well as same quality of the training. but because of they're less famous, not many graduat students are aware of them. So this might be another way to achieve a successful career path.

One interesting thing I found in my lunch time is that friends can be easily made in this class, because every noon, I had lunch with totally different persons from the day before. I really enjoy that feeling. ^_^

I felt much more tired after today's class than what I felt yesterday. Well, that means the lesson requires heavier usage of the brain, though I still had little time to practise my oral English... =_=

The training is really a nightmare. We are forced to practise many open questions which may be asked in the interview, and most of them are in the form of the famous "Eight Questions" of P&G. So I had to keep on searching the suitable examples as many as possible, and at the same time, described them in a logical way. It really consumes much brain cells....

By the way, it's these days when I realized that the MTR in Guangzhou can contain this huge number of people at the same time, nearly the same as the pink time in HongKong. So it's always a big challenge when I have to get on and off the MTR. >_<

Hope I can learn more in tomorrow's class.

Thank goodness! I managed to get up on time at 6:45 this morning. It's really amazing, for I have never got up so early for a long time.

Everything is under my control except the content of the lesson. And it seems that the lesson of oral English for interviewing turns out to be a lesson focusing on interviewing skills...

I attend this class just for improving my oral English T_T . Hope it can turn back to the original direction in the latter time.

在经历了差不多两个月的简历鄙视期后，KPMG终于让我等到了一份笔试机会。早就听说KP那种SHL的笔试很难，于是特地在前些天上网DDOWN了些笔经啊、SHL攻略啊、Verbal例文啊之类的一堆，百多页拿来看，希望能看出些门道。不过到了考试那天才发现，无论怎么准备，KP的笔试还是会BS人的……

我是被排在11点到国际电子大厦笔试。这里不得不说下那电子大厦，交通也太不方便了吧，既没有地铁直到，也没有从中大去的公交直到，比起EY所在的中泰差了N+1倍。直接后果是让我提前一个半小时过去……刚开始还以为一个半小时会很充足，因为之前上网查了一下只有不到6公里的路程。但结果……结果！！明明避开了“所谓的”上班高峰期，但还是很郁闷地坐在公交车上堵了一个小时，广州那交通，真是彻底无语了。后来还好能及时感到，我们班另外五个同学就比较惨了，她们只比我们晚了大概15分钟，结果路上狂塞，踏着11点才进到考场。

KP Training Room不太大，我们这批全是中大的，大概30人左右，可惜那HR不是想象中的漂亮MM，而是一个GG……有点失望:P 但business is business，事情还是要做滴～～

关于SHL试题
1.KP的SHL试题不给我们在上面做任何涂写，因为是循环再用的。看上去装订得很漂亮，而且里面的题目和网上笔经里的内容大致一样，因此可以断定，KP的题目最起码在一年内是循环再用的。网上笔经虽然准确，不过那些不够翔实，看了作用不太大，基本功还是要靠自己。
2.Numerical Test与部分笔经不同，我们是24分钟24题，基本上要做到一分钟一题；Verbal Test是20分钟36题，大概9篇短文阅读理解，时间同样很紧。
3.HR计时用的是秒表啊=_=～我觉得在这种场合中，用有指针的表已经完全没有效果。下次再考，应该带个CASIO那种带倒计时功能的电子表。不过另一方面，暂时来说看表的次数不会太多，可能由于我第一次做，还无法上升到需要Time Management的角度吧。

Numerical Test
1.独立一本考试册子，并不如网上笔经所说的图都在最后一页，需要自己将图对上题目。我们这次做的布局是一页纸最上面是一张图表，然后下面有四道围绕该图表提出的问题。
2.该部分全中文，难度比SHL官网上的弱智题难很多。基本上已经脱离了不需要计算器只需估算的时代，我做的那份很多都需要敲计算器。中间变量尽可能少地抄下来，因为那的确是一件十分奢侈的事。
3.多做GMAT的题，据说GMAT里面有专门的图表题，网上笔经中很多人是拿那本来练习。看来暑假也应该练练了，为下半年正职作准备。（因为据说HSBC、恒生银行等也是用SHL）

Verbal Test
1.起码有9篇文章，难度与KPMG提供的例题类似。我拿到的这份基本上全是关于经济学和管理学的文章，和在网上看过的某篇笔经的主要内容一致。虽然我没有看过别人做的文章，但基本上应该于笔经中的各种主题一致。但还是那句，主题是有，但笔经中也并不详尽，能不能做完还是要靠基本功。
2.题量大，这次我选择的是先把原文快速看懂，然后再做题。其实另一种先看题目再看原文的办法我也在现场做例题的时候用过，不过个人认为对我来说那种正确率不高，因此还是选择先看原文。但可能每个人方法不一样
3.勤拿雅思中的题型来练。雅思中专门有种题是选True,False,Cannot say，做多了，才能把握Cannot say的尺度到底在哪里。现在我做的量不大，还不能很好把握尺度，看来有待加强。
