Chapter 306 - 306 190 Just One More Left

306: Chapter 190 Just One More Left 306: Chapter 190 Just One More Left In the following time, a total of nearly twenty applicants came here to inquire about the job, predominantly male, with most of them being recent graduates, and only one or two were experienced professionals who were switching jobs mid-career.

Actually, Su Changqing came from a family that was involved in the real estate business, so he had some understanding of the related market conditions.

Generally speaking, it was not an easy task to recruit people with work experience for such positions.

Due to the nature of construction sites, workers’ wages were typically settled at the end of the year, which made it difficult to switch jobs before the completion of a project.

There were also factors like stability to consider; overall, in this industry, it was more common for each unit to recruit new people and train them.

Yang Yangyang and his colleagues were not opposed to hiring inexperienced newcomers; on the contrary, they actually hoped to have more peers of similar ages, so about half of the interviewees this time were fresh faces.

Of course, these newcomers had to be capable in their own right in order to pass the first round of interviews, and they couldn’t be utter novices with no basic knowledge.

After all, their future workplace would be on Rebirth Island, where the initial construction required long-term residency and development.

If they couldn’t even take care of themselves, how could they expect their colleagues to babysit them?

Therefore, those who came with their parents for the interview did not pass the first round.

Their self-care abilities were almost nonexistent; among them was a recent male graduate who didn’t even know that eggs have shells.

The actual number of applicants this time was still much less than expected.

Despite the advertising and the heads-up, as well as the size of the venue, less than twenty people came for the day, which was indeed too few.

The shortage of human resources and the fact that the workplace was overseas were the main reasons why many people hesitated to apply.

Soon it was past three in the afternoon.

Looking at the bustling interview scenes of other companies, and then at their own empty tables and chairs, the three of them felt a bit disheartened.

Ji Xiaoqi was flipping through the resumes on the table, her expression somewhat gloomy.

“Why are there so few people, and not a single construction engineer could be found?

Apart from that one we turned away earlier, there hasn’t been another applicant for the position.

Qionghua City is so big, how could no one come?”

Yang Yangyang also looked over and said:

“This is a bit troublesome.

Although we only need five people for the repair work initially, the position of an engineer is indispensable.

If we really can’t find one this time, we’ll have to ask Uncle Su to see if we can poach someone from another unit.”

“That’s the only option,” Su Changqing nodded.

They checked the time, noting that it was getting closer to four in the afternoon, and began to pack up their things, ready to go to the conference room for the second round of interviews.

Just then, a somewhat chubby young man approached from a distance.

Seeing the words “Light Blue Starry Sky,” he quickened his pace, clearly coming specifically for their company.

“Excuse me, are you still hiring?

I’m here for the interview…”

The hands of the three people paused their packing, all lifting their heads to look at the chubby young man before them.

Yang Yangyang asked:

“Oh?

Which position are you interested in interviewing for?”

“As for the position, I think I’m capable of doing technical work or acting as a substitute in construction.

I previously worked at Dashan Construction Company and have about five years of experience in the industry.”

Yang Yangyang, hearing that he felt capable in several roles, couldn’t help but become interested.

“Oh?

What exactly did you do there?”

The young man paused for a moment, then hesitantly said:

“Honestly, I was an engineer preparing for my advanced qualifications, but due to an unexpected incident, my license was revoked, and I can’t retake it for several years, so I have to take on a different role for now.”

As he spoke, he quickly added: “By the way, my name is Sun Hao, ‘Hao’ as in ‘Hao Ran’.

I started from the frontline on-site and understand many aspects of construction.

I also often work on the field myself, so I think I am qualified for these positions.”

“Oh?

An engineer?”

The three of them brightened up at hearing this, they were just worrying about not having an engineer, and suddenly one appeared—it was like a pillow for their sleepy heads.

As for the certificate, was that important?

Anyway, they were establishing a base on Rebirth Island, and no one was going to check the licenses.

Nevertheless, Su Changqing still inquired about why the young man’s license was suspended, and after learning the details, he was somewhat reassured.

The interview proceeded as usual.

They first asked a series of routine questions, then assessed the young man’s professional ability before stopping.

“Please wait a moment; we’ll discuss it,” said Yang Yangyang, gesturing for Sun Hao to wait aside while they quietly deliberated among themselves.

“How about it?

I think he’s pretty good.

Although his license was revoked, his ability is solid, much better than the previous one, isn’t it?”

“He’s strong on the spot and fits our candidate profile.

The only flaw right now is his involvement in a safety incident in the past…”

“Let’s pass him for now, and I’ll make a phone call immediately to verify the story he told us.

I know a lot of people in Dashan, and it’s only a few minutes’ work for them to check someone out.

If it’s as he said and he was only implicated, then there’s no problem at all.

If he lied to us, then rejecting him afterward is no issue.”

“Alright, agreed.”

The discussion ended quickly, and Yang Yangyang went to inform the candidate of the interview result.

“Sun Hao, congratulations on passing our first round of interviews.

The second round will take place in ten minutes; you can come with us.

It’s in conference room 9,” Yang Yangyang said.

“Really?” Sun Hao’s face lit up with joy before he added, “May I ask, what position will you specifically offer me…?”

Although he felt he could handle those roles, each position carried different responsibilities and varying wages, so he was quite concerned about this question.

“What position to arrange for you?”

Yang Yangyang smiled, then went on to say:

“The roles you just mentioned, we don’t actually need them at the moment…

Of course, if you do come to work with us, we can offer you an engineering position!

How about it?

Are you interested?

It’s a rare opportunity.”
