It is learned that recently, British billionaire and Virgin Airlines founder Richard Branson took off from the space launch site in New Mexico, USA on the "Unity" spacecraft of his company Virgin Galactic, and successfully carried out the company's first fully manned space test flight.
This test flight also surpassed Bezos, who was originally scheduled to start his space journey on July 20, and became the world's first billionaire to go into space on a self-built spacecraft. Although Richard got there first, Bezos recently announced that he would broadcast his entire space journey live at 19:30 Beijing time on July 20, once again attracting the attention of people all over the world. ▲ The picture comes from Weibo However, chasing dreams of outer space is ultimately a hobby of billionaires, something that can only be admired from afar but not imagined. Compared with Bezos, the situation of cross-border people in recent times is like heaven and earth. Amazon's account suspension campaign has been going on since April, and many big sellers have been involved. Employee resignations and large-scale layoffs have become a common phenomenon. Among them, Amazon employees have encountered some strange interview challenges while looking for other ways out. Suspected of making money out of nothing? 65 operational questions are difficult for everyone! Recently, an interview paper titled "Basic Operations Questions" has been widely circulated in seller communication groups, sparking heated discussions among sellers.
It is reported that the operation assessment paper consists of 38 operation management questions and 27 CPC promotion questions. The questions cover various operation strategies and promotion methods. The examination content is so comprehensive and detailed that many sellers are dumbfounded. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group Some sellers on the forum advised their peers to avoid pitfalls. Companies that always ask about 20 ways to play with black technology and 30 methods of promotion and conduct particularly detailed inspections are purely newbie companies with no experience. ▲ The picture comes from Zhiwubuyan Sellers have started to complain about this: "You can't do such a thing without a decade of cerebral thrombosis. There must be a bottom line for getting something for nothing." "Hire me and help you unlock more hidden operational skills" "Do you need to know so much about the operations of these companies now? Is that what the recruitment director needs?" According to a seller, he had an interview at a recently closed 3C category company in 2016, but both the interview questions and the HR were disappointing. The questions included how to find social media celebrities, how to do CPC and the cost per click, the brand name of the previous company, etc. ▲ The picture comes from Zhiwubuyan There are also sellers whose interview assessments include various types of questions such as personality tests and skill questions. They even have to write optimization strategies based on screenshots of multiple advertising data. After finally making it to the interview stage, they still have to introduce themselves in English. Looking at the various challenges that sellers have experienced during the interview process, the requirements for Amazon operations are getting higher and higher, and they are like "all kinds of skills". Under this situation, the pressure of operations is also increasing day by day, breeding various anxieties. The laid-off employees expressed their deep sorrow. Should they hold on or leave in time? 2021 has been a year of ups and downs for every Amazon seller. New platform regulations such as new return policies and changes in inventory capacity have come one after another. Store authenticity audits including video verification and address verification have made many sellers anxious. The skyrocketing freight costs and logistics delays have shrouded the market. In addition, the price war has intensified, and the profit margin has been continuously compressed...
In this environment, even the top sellers have suffered heavy losses, not to mention the small and medium-sized sellers at the bottom. They are like duckweed, swept forward by the ever-changing torrent of the industry and forced to dance with the times. Performance bottlenecks, threats of account suspension, fear of layoffs, increasing economic pressure and other troubles are like insurmountable mountains standing in the way of many Amazon employees . Whether to grit their teeth and persevere or to leave decisively are also difficult decisions that they urgently need to make in their letters. A recently laid-off employee of a company whose products were banned recently recorded his thoughts and feelings in his Douban diary. In mid-June, the company's largest Amazon brand was suddenly banned, and sales dropped by half, which was a heavy loss. ▲ The picture comes from Zhiwubuyan A week after being closed, the company made drastic layoffs, reducing the staff from more than 900 to only about 300. It took only more than half a month from the time the accident happened to the time when a group of people gathered in the conference room waiting for compensation. The department the employee worked for was directly laid off, and even the powerful CMO was not spared. Colleagues who worked with him day and night were laid off one after another, and many families were under great financial pressure. Such layoffs without any warning basically blocked their source of income. The once big seller has laid off a large number of employees, and the situation of monkeys scattering when the tree falls is really sad. Even highly educated overseas returnees face the risk of being laid off at any time. Industry leaders have failed one after another, and everyone in the industry is in danger. Under the double attack of the platform's iron fist and the internal competition of peers, it can be said that they are in a dilemma. A Shenzhen floating operator said that the performance is getting worse and worse. Now he has run out of ideas and ammunition, and perhaps changing careers is the wisest way out. ▲ The picture comes from Zhiwubuyan However, there are 360 professions, and each one has its own untold hardships and bitterness, as well as twists and turns that are difficult to explain to outsiders. Perhaps a graceful exit will give you a glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel, and holding on to your position may also lead to a rebound.
