Most companies start the year , All are performance reviews 、 The period of promotion defense , For Ali 、 Meituan and many other Internet enterprises , The fiscal year is the year before 4 Months to the next year 3 End of month , After the Spring Festival , It is the annual work report and promotion .
Here I combine my own work report and the experience of tutoring other students to reply , Share the optimization points of several core links in the promotion process .
Say in advance , Promotion is only a by-product of the existing human resource management system of Internet companies , The success of promotion is certainly a pleasure , There is no need to be too discouraged if you fail in promotion , Don't stay here , I have my own place , Life is more than one side ！
One 、 Material preparation
1、 Clear job level standards
Before preparing the promotion defense materials , Be sure to know what the competencies and requirements of your target rank are , Target job level criteria , To organize relevant materials in a targeted way .
Take Alibaba for example , The following are the standards for each rank of Alibaba technology series ：
If you work in other Internet companies , You can view the job level standards within the company , Some large ones IT company , Rank can be benchmarked with Alibaba's rank system .
2、 How to select projects
In the past year you may have done 10 A project , But there is a time limit for the promotion evaluation , The defense materials are not eyebrows and moustaches , It is impossible to go through all the projects .
The preparation of promotion materials needs to have a clear purpose , The materials you organize , The core presentation must be ：
You have the ability to reach the next level .
Is to choose a certain technical difficulty 、 Business challenge projects , It can prove that you have met the basic requirements of the new rank .
For example, you are satisfied with the results of a certain work , But students of non target rank can also complete , It is suggested not to write , This will not help you in your promotion .
for instance , Two people also participate in the defense ,A Students listed 10 Business needs ,B The student chose one with high business income 、 High complexity special centralized display , That's a big probability B Students have a greater chance of promotion .
besides , Focus on the following ：
Reflect what is beyond the technical capability , Like influence , How to promote business evolution
Because I joined , What makes the difference in business results , rely on others for success in work
Try to find the projects that have got the definite results , Don't plan
3、 The logic of thinking and writing
Material organization is the use of classical writing models ：STAR The law describes + Pyramid principle an .
STAR Rules to sort out projects
Pyramid principle organizes materials
The overall guiding ideology of writing is the pyramid principle , around “ I have reached the target rank ” The central theme , Design 3～5 A core argument , Each argument is based on STAR The law unfolds , Divided into background 、 Mission 、 Actions and results .
The whole structure is like a pyramid , The center is clear , distinct , Clear logic .
Two 、PPT Writing part
PPT Writing focuses on promotion presentation Writing , It should be noted that , Some companies do not require specific promotions PPT, For example, some business units of Ali are P5 l P6 link , Just provide Doc Documents can be .
Whether it's PPT still Word file , It's just the form of content , The core ideas of speech document writing are interlinked , Let's get to know .
1、 How to write well PPT
In the promotion defense , Like what? PPT It's a good PPT Well ？ In a nutshell , There are content , Have ideas .
The specific requirements are as follows ：
—— The structure is clear
Use the time line model to explain the development process , Use flow charts to explain the business , Use pyramid principle or mind map to explain ideas , Explain the system with architecture diagram , use UML Class diagram to explain the code .
—— An emphasis on
stay PPT On , Refine the core content into 3～5 spot , So that the judges can quickly understand the scope of what you want to say .
Follow the pyramid rhythm , Whether it's the overall items to be talked about or the highlights of each item , This idea should be followed
—— A picture is worth a thousand words
Combined with the content to be talked about , Highlight the core process 、 Design 、 data , In the process of defense, it is expanded in combination with the remarks .
2、 promotion PPT frame
Generally, large companies have PPT Templates , Refer to the company's requirements , Here we expand a general PPT Presentation framework ：
essential information ： Your name 、 Team and business 、 Current level 、 Information such as the level of application for promotion
Current responsibilities ： Main responsibilities at present , For example, which business is involved or responsible 、 Whether to take the team 、 How big is the team 、 What key positions have you held （ For example, the project leader 、 System owner）
Work experience ： Where have you been before , What important projects have you done
Core projects ： Description of the core items prepared for this defense
Planning and development ： Planning for the next step
3、 ... and 、 Practice the demo session
Be sure to practice and lecture in advance ,
Be sure to practice and lecture in advance ,
Be sure to practice and lecture in advance ,
Say important things three times .
1、 Internal trial
Organize and share within the team , Practice your PPT Or share Doc, Be familiar with the material content .
Promoted students are often the core backbone of the team , The project and work are relatively compact , But no matter how busy , We should arrange time for trial lectures , This is the most important conclusion drawn by many friends around us 、 It is also the best experience .
2、 Mock defense
According to different rank , Promotions may be divided into BU Inside , And cross BU Horizontal promotion of level .
in the light of BU Internal promotion , You can contact your immediate supervisor , Find senior students in the team , Together with your materials 、 Comment and analyze the manuscript , It's better to arrange many times , Convenient and targeted improvement .
If it's across BU Level of defense , Because it is the evaluation at the overall group level , It's better to invite HRBP Together . Compared with the students in the functional sequence , Business HR Be able to learn more from soft skills 、 Give optimization suggestions from different perspectives such as the existing job level .
Four 、 On site defense
A thousand days of military training , the use of the military force is only occasional/temporary , Defense is the core of promotion , Directly determine whether this promotion can be passed , The defense link is generally divided into self narration + The evaluation is divided into two parts .
1、 The readme section leaves room for questions
After the previous trial lecture , Learn to anticipate the judges' questions , Don't finish all the content in the readme section , Otherwise you might have talked a lot , The judges were not interested , Waste your defense time .
The normal defense is probably 40 About minutes , The time of the readme session is about 15~20 About minutes , We can talk about the project results , That is to say What, Assist part of the project process , Be careful not to time out , Leave time for the judges to ask questions .
Oral defense 20 About minutes , This session is based on the questions of the judges , Thinking about your principles , Experience and methodology .
2、 Distinguish between problem types , Answer with pertinence
Be sure to accurately understand the judges' questions , Answer to the point . On the one hand, do not rush to start , First define the problem type , Give answers to different types , On the other hand, don't procrastinate , And don't give me a wrong answer .
I categorize the common problems , Generally speaking , It can be summarized as the following sentence patterns ：
What did you do
How to do it?
Why do you do this ？
This series of questions , It can correspond to the classical golden circle theory , Interested students can go to understand .
—— What Class problem
Focus on the results of project implementation , Need to answer “ What did you do + What's the result ”, The project results shall be quantified and displayed with data as much as possible .
—— How Class problem
Pay attention to the process of project implementation , Need to answer “ The way to do things + Steps to implement ”, For example, you implement a project , What specific technologies are used , The design method is adopted .
—— Why Class problem
Pay attention to the reason , Need to answer “ Technical principle + Thinking process ”, That is, how the technical solutions are produced .
3、 Quantify project results , Make good use of statistical indicators
Project results should have value and data , Transform the content to be evaluated into quantifiable data for presentation .
When presenting the results , Don't mention the launch of the project on schedule , In the eyes of the judges , This is only the basic requirement , Not a bonus item .
The correct approach is to speak through some quantitative data after the launch , This part is divided into business data and technical indicators ：
—— Business data
Some business data after online , Such as the number of new users 、 The amount of income, etc
—— Technical indicators
For example, introduce the system performance data after the launch 、 Quality and other related contents
Make good use of statistical indicators and , Pay attention to explain how the indicators are calculated .
For example, relative value , For example, the user touch rate ranges from 10% Up to 30%, Such indicators must specify the relevant cardinality , Otherwise, it is easy to be challenged by the judges .
4、 What should be paid attention to in the defense
—— The self-assessment part should be rigorous
For example, what is not done well ？ For this kind of problem , You can answer the question that you lack the ability required by the next rank of the rank you want to promote , Do not answer questions related to this promotion .
For example, from P6 promotion P7, You can answer the question that there is a lack of cross multiple in the project BU The ability to coordinate , Don't mention the implementation of the project itself .
—— Unfamiliar areas should be skipped
When there is a dispute with the judges, admit that you are not familiar with them as soon as possible , Stop the topic in time , Don't keep arguing , Lead to familiar areas .
5、 ... and 、 summary
Let's review the key points of the promotion defense ：
Material preparation ： Organize materials around job level standards
PPT writing ：STAR The law describes , Pyramid principle unfolds
Practice speaking ： Through trial lecture and mock defense , Optimize your reporting
On the spot defense ： Think about the type of problem first , Then answer to the point
Last , Whatever the outcome , Don't talk about heroes by promotion , Life is the first ！
