Many people like to hear the stories of people around me before, so today I will briefly tell you the story of an Android developer in our team. His story is worth learning by all of you, so I think it is necessary to write and share with you!
At that time, our Mint Android team was planning to recruit an engineer. After a round of interview, we had basically decided on a candidate, but we didn’t give him an offer. We just thought he was good, but not particularly good.
Stormzhang, hello, just saw you update weibo said may have no quota, but I still quickly wrote this email after they reached home, even if there is no chance this time, still hope you can see my resume, if there is need to resume after appropriate and can contact me, your country is in itself an android guide, one of the thin I have been using this APP all the time, and I have always been looking for the opportunity to work with the best team. If you have the opportunity, please contact me at ******. thank you Please find the resume in the attachment.
I always appreciate people who take the initiative, so WHEN I saw such a resume, I must open his resume and have a look. When I saw his resume, it was really good. So I called and telephoned him that evening.
The next day, he came to the company according to the appointed time. After filling in the basic information, I opened the door and talked with him. I could obviously feel that he was very excited and very nervous. But after a few commonplaces with him, he soon began to relax down, then I can feel his a momentum and young, very yearning, to us, after all, after 90, and the Android skills is pretty good, also pretty rich project experience, all the talk is very happy, I let’s CTO chatted with him directly, the CTO after chatting with him, Same feeling as me, feeling this guy skill is good, and very driven, communication skills are not bad. So I decided to enroll him immediately, because the comprehensive score felt that he was more outstanding and had more potential.
After confirming, I told him on the spot that “I am ready to admit you, go back and finish the procedures of resignation can come to mint work”. I estimate at that time he was very surprised, did not think so fast to give a conclusion, I do things is such efficiency, to the interview should know, record not admitted basically on the spot will tell you, will not say some polite words let you go back silly, I guess at that time his heart should be excited dead!
He handed in his resignation when he got back, and it took him about a month to go through the formalities and take over the job. During this period we mint released two versions, every time he almost immediately after just released updated use, give me advice, and the way we released a version there is a big problem, is in the formal environment integrates LeakCanary, but because he was the first time update found this bug, immediately inform me, we immediately put the App to update, This only led to about 3 minutes, did not cause a great impact, from this matter after I feel that this guy is reliable, the future potential is very big!
The first thing I said was “Remember that we are a team on Android. No matter what kind of business or role each person is responsible for at any time, we are always a team on Android. When each person encounters difficulties or delays in their own projects, etc., All the rest of us have to try to help our team mates solve problems.” At that time, we had two projects. He was in charge of the development of minty App’s related functions, but he was very efficient. What he was assigned to do always exceeded my expectation, not only fast, but also with high quality.
In the middle period of time, the requirements of another project changed, so the App submission time might be delayed. However, after completing his own functions, he took the initiative to undertake the development of related functions of another project, so as to ensure the smooth submission of the App.
I once asked with my team, regardless of anything, for any reason, determine the key point in time, be sure to make every effort to complete, the product can’t have any delay, if you have difficulty, I will arrange other people to help you, I want to because of the high demand, so the product team has been on our Android is assured, And this is not my arrangement, his attitude to accept the task let me have new expectations for him!
Then we were going to try the fitness business, and I saw him immediately sign up for a gym membership and actively keep exercising every day. Someone asked me, “Why can he have time to exercise every day?” , because we are elastic, I allow you job done at any time you can leave from work, so I just see him always insist to take exercise, then try the gym, to put forward opinions to our fitness business, very actively participate in product, and actually shape also from practice, than had hired a dozen jins thin, Not everyone can stick to this kind of perseverance!
Is probably less than three months, I am very bullish on him, he was doing anything I am very at ease, at that time, we opened a new business, I have a bold idea, is ready to let him alone to take on new business, which in most companies I think almost all unlikely, after all just in 3 months, but experience itself is also very short, But I was sure he could. I just told him, “Go for it!” Young people should be bold enough to take on challenges they have never faced before!
Six months later, guess what? All, product managers, designers think highly of him, including our CTO, CEO told me “a little kay good,” I don’t think this high opinion again to him, he is responsible for the Android client in full swing, project cycle never delay, I often see him with product managers, designers discuss requirements, advice, I often share new technology internally, it’s not my work, it’s all his own hard work, I just give him a free hand!
Some time ago, I told my team that we should keep writing blogs and I would recommend good articles to you. I have been watching the team members’ blogs, and then I saw he wrote blog is one of the most serious, his blog project “Android open source project source code analysis” write very seriously, I have to recommend here can go to his blog, he used to writing blog, Jane had with Jane can focus on his books, watch his article, is dry, Trust me, I recommend good things to you!
By the way, if you don’t want to set up your own blog, Jane book may be a good choice, but I also have a pit in Jane book!

He’s the real story around me. What do you lack compared to him? I think you’ll have the answer after you read it!
When we complain about the environment, complain about under-appreciated talent, there is no other reason, must be you do not good enough!
Today’s lucky draw:
The three users who won the prize yesterday were shocked when they saw the news, and they expressed their excitement on wechat. Haha, I like to surprise you!
The logic of the three users is that the first person to praise the article “Something big is about to happen”, the first person to praise the most and the person whose face I randomly draw is familiar. In a good mood today, take out three books, respectively is “the first line of code”, “Android group English biography”, “Android development progress – from small workers to experts” each one, respectively from the appreciation, selected message praise top 10 selected 3 face familiar, the next article to see you won the prize, to the winner of a surprise!
In addition, the books I draw are not recommended on behalf of everyone to buy, positioning about the same good books are mostly similar, buy one is enough!
Yesterday GG click rate increased to 8%, thank you very much for your support, thanks!
