Local university graduates lack team spirit
3/7/2003 16:10
Local graduating university students have strong personal abilities, but
lack team spirits, according to a special job recruitment in the city, the
Shanghai Morning Post reported yesterday.
A leading job recruiting website -
www.zhaopin.com - organized an outdoor experiential learning activity several
days ago instead of ordinary interview for 20 human resources managers in
banking, consulting, manufacturing and computer industries, with 50 job-hunters
selected to take part in the activity.
The 50 candidates include graduating
university students of this year and people who have joined the work force one
or two years ago.
"The graduating university students can accomplish a task
independently, but lack ability in teamwork," said a human resources manager
with a local multinational company, surnamed Zhang.
Some students always
express their own ideas rather than listen to others' advice in the activity,
Zhang said.
Personal ability can be improved after certain training, while
team-spirit should be improved by employees themselves, he said.
Job-hunters
usually appear very cautious in formal interview, while their instinct reactions
will be shown in outdoor activities, said another human resources manager,
surnamed Liu.
