A small job advertisement that bears witness to a lot of things.

The following is a job advertisement that Huawei ran in the newspaper in 1996.

The job advertisement mentioned that Huawei's scientific research investment in 1997 will reach 400 million yuan and sales will reach 4.5 billion yuan, so the company will recruit all kinds of talents on a large scale. From the perspective of recruitment demand, most of huawei's recruitment at that time was technical positions, such as software development, hardware development, wireless communications, and a small number of enterprise management and sales positions.

Moreover, these positions require a bachelor's degree, individual positions require a master's degree or above, and the number of personnel in various recruitment positions is not limited. Think about it, 26 years ago in 1996, the number of undergraduate graduates in the country was only more than 900,000 people, undergraduate graduates are definitely scarce talents, and at this time Huawei has spared no effort to recruit these highly educated talents, Huawei can become a company with excess technology, and his management of talents is inseparable.

However, it is interesting that the job advertisement shows that all positions are generally required to be under the age of 35, such as software development positions that require under the age of 28. Proper age discrimination!

The following picture is a job advertisement published by Alibaba on September 14, 1999. At that time, Alibaba had just been established for 4 days, and Ma Yun placed such a job advertisement in the Qianjiang Evening News.

It says about Alibaba: "This is a high-tech multinational company that is growing fast, dedicated to providing Internet-based commerce services to businessmen around the world. In addition, there is such an English sentence in this job advertisement: if not now, when? if not me,who? (If not now, when was it?) If not me, who can it be? )

Such recruitment advertising words are still very trendy! Those who don't know think it is a multinational company, but in fact, Ali at this time has only one office hidden in a community, and is often thought to be a scam company by applicants. From the perspective of recruitment information, Alibaba recruits 4 software development engineers, 2 system management engineers, 2 web page production and graphic design, 10 information editors, and 1 administrative secretary. The above positions are located in Hangzhou, and the annual salary standard is 30,000 to 100,000 yuan.

Actually, a simple job advertisement can see a lot of things!

It seems that doing things still needs to be done with care!

Maybe 20 years later, some of the companies that send out such job advertisements will become myths, and some will become jokes!
