No background, no education? Is it really hopeless for specialist testers to enter Internet factories?

A recent post on Zhihu has aroused heated discussion among the public .

After the epidemic , Many large factories have started a new round of recruitment mode , Although the requirements of each aspect are different , But one of the recruitment requirements is surprisingly consistent ——“ Bachelor degree or above .”

The Internet uses seven words , High academic walls have been built .

For a large factory full of talents ,985、211 The existence of graduates is not surprising , Ordinary undergraduates are bricks that can be seen everywhere , This once became the existence that junior college students did not dare to try , I think it's just academic qualifications , I can't pass the resume .

However , In fact, junior college students and non key undergraduate students still have the opportunity to enter big factories . Today, I will also give you an analysis and solution , Internet manufacturers for schools 、 What are the requirements for academic qualifications , Can junior college students enter big factories ？

1、 Education is not equal to ability

First , We don't deny the importance of education . But for programmers, education , Is it really such a big influence ？ Can't you find a job without a good education ？ It's not always true , Representatives of major manufacturers have expressed , In fact, compared with education , They will pay more attention to ability .

Ali Jack In his speech at Tel Aviv University, he said ：“ Don't mind being born , What matters is your value ” , Jack He was not born in a famous school , But the gold content of college students before the enrollment expansion at that time was also different .

tencent Pony Once said in the answer to college students about their academic qualifications ：“ Ability is the most important , Some people only have a technical secondary school degree can win everyone's respect and recognition , But college experience is also a very important experience for life , If you have the ability, you won't be afraid of losing your job ”.

Baidu Robin Think ：“ Education is not a thing , Smart is the most important , Baidu doesn't care about the age of its employees 、 Gender 、 Education 、 Graduate school and working background ”.

Jingdong Liu qiangdong said ：“ We should really be able to endure hardship for a lifetime ”, Born in poverty, Dongge pays special attention to employees born in ordinary workers or peasant families .

ByteDance Zhang Yiming thinks ：” Invisible trait , To decide your future ”, You can't just look at the surface of your background , Find the right person 、 People who fit .

Your education determines your starting platform , Your starting income , Your starting life . On the whole , The starting point of undergraduate course is higher than that of junior college , The starting point of famous school students is higher than that of non famous school students .

But the height one can finally reach , It's not just about education , It depends more on his ability and opportunity . As long as the ability is strong enough , Good enough , Even if the education level is lower , You can still make great achievements in life . From this point of view , There may be limits to our lives , But there is no upper limit , Even if the starting point is lower , It may also jump farther and higher .

Therefore, small partners with low education should not feel confused because their starting point is not as high as others , What you need to do is to make up the gap with others through your current efforts , We can break the game from the following aspects ：

1） Increase project experience

All practical projects are always more convincing than achievements on paper , See excellent open source projects , Most companies give interviews , But be sure to choose projects with high gold content to show , For example, I have contributed source code to well-known open source projects , This is still very weighty .

2） Working experience in a large factory

For experienced programmers, many large factories will appropriately lower the requirements for Education . And bytes 、 Didi and others have a wider acceptance of the requirements for academic qualifications , It is highly recommended that some undergraduate colleges and universities are not very excellent students , When I was a sophomore or a junior, I tried to practice in a big factory , In this way, I have internship experience in large factories on my resume , In the future, there will be more chances to go to a better company .

2、 Do you have a chance to enter a big factory if you have a low degree ？

First of all, let me tell you the answer , There is no academic discrimination in Dachang at the official level .

After all, if in the public face, if you firmly express that you have academic discrimination , It will be regarded by the public as an incorrect attitude , We have to control public opinion through public relations , It not only damages the corporate image, but also affects recruitment , Do more harm than good .

As for the actual operation ？ It's up to people , Exactly , It depends on your interviewer , Maybe it's for you HR, Group leader, etc. , It depends on your luck , After all, there is an endless stream of resumes from big companies , The corresponding number of interviewers will not be less , At this time, you are very likely to meet people who discriminate against academic qualifications .

Facing a lot of resumes , It's impossible to be completely fair , How to allocate limited resources efficiently ？ Quickly filter out invalid resumes , Education is a good filter , So academic discrimination came into being , All this is due to the experience of the interviewer .

An experienced interviewer knows , Which colleges and universities are more likely to pass , Which are lower , Unconsciously, when selecting resumes, they will form their own ranking list of colleges and universities .

But it doesn't mean that if you don't have a good education, you won't be able to enter a big factory , Just for this year's students , If you don't have rich internship experience or internal promotion channels , Academic qualifications are generally easy to brush .

But for those who have some work experience , Generally speaking, large factories do not require education , For example, Xiao Bian's friend Xiao Li , I have a college degree , I majored in hardware , After graduation, because I didn't like to do hardware testing , I started working in a small company , I interviewed Baidu after working for two years 、 Ali 、 Meituan and so on , The company gave him an interview , Some have passed the United States , Finally, he entered a large factory .

Although some companies HR More emphasis on Education , But most companies are still technology-based , Xiao Li said , With so many big factories , The general feeling to him is , Technology is always the last word . Will they be discriminated against because of their academic qualifications ？ Meeting , however , Those companies are only a fraction , And it's not worth the effort .

3、 How can junior college students enter big factories ？

No matter which industry it is , Education is an unavoidable topic for people in the workplace , I'll be asked when I write my resume and interview . therefore , Although the short board with academic qualifications , But we can also work hard from other aspects , So as to get the opportunity to go to the big factory .
The reason why big Internet companies recruit , It is required to write first degree, bachelor's degree or 985,211 University priority , In fact, it is for screening . Essentially , Large companies still want to recruit people with strong abilities .

First , We can set the goal first , The position you want to do , What capabilities are needed by benchmarking large companies , Let's shape . Since the degree is this “ Hardware ” It has become an established fact , Can't change , Then try to improve our “ Software ” power .

There is a saying that goes like this ——“ Long things should be seen ”, If the salary difference is not too much , Try to choose products and projects with a higher success rate , Or at least complete one or two online projects , So when making a resume , Can give oneself extra points ！

secondly , Large companies also have grades , Let's start from the peripheral posts of large companies , For example, the business is not so core or the business is core but very hard to start , Go in and learn something first , Wait until experience is enough , Then jump to a bigger company than the current big company .

secondly , As a college graduate , How to stand out among many candidates ？ The answer is —— Only in one industry for three to five years , Vertical professional track , Establishing your own advantages is the best way to enter the big factory .

4、 At the end

image BAT Such big factories , Bachelor degree, technical ability 60 You can score , Junior college is necessary 90 branch , That's the reality . When poor academic qualifications become our obstacle , How to widen the gap with strength becomes crucial .

If you really want to enter a big factory , You can also improve your ability at the same time , Enhance our academic qualifications , As long as you work a little harder than others every day , That must be able to catch up with the pace of excellent teams . Every extra effort you make , Will become countless opportunities in the future .
