Too much! The interview for an operations assistant actually requires store development experience

However, for those fresh graduates with zero experience or those who are switching careers from other industries, they generally choose to apply for an Amazon operations assistant position first to get started, and then switch to operations after gaining enough experience.

However, recently a fresh graduate named Xiao A who wanted to enter the industry discovered that in a post recruiting an Amazon assistant on a certain recruitment software, the job requirements clearly stated: Experience in independently completing Amazon platform operations from 0-1.

As he didn't quite understand what this requirement meant, Xiao A shared this recruitment information on the forum, hoping that someone in the industry could provide an answer.

Many netizens called this post an exaggeration. One person commented: "The operational experience from 0 to 1 should be about opening up a store. If you really have opening up experience, who would want to be an assistant..."

Others thought: “This may be because HR was lazy and directly copied the requirements of recruitment operations.”

As can be seen from the screenshot, although the position is written as Amazon Operations Assistant, the job responsibilities are written as listing products, maintaining and optimizing listings, and advertising, which are tasks that only operations need to do.

From this, we can infer that this is most likely a misunderstanding. The HR must have made a mistake when writing the recruitment information, and wrote the post that should have been about recruiting operations as a recruitment operations assistant.

However, netizens do not seem to think so. Some people think that the company did this just to hire an operations manager with an assistant's salary, which is a good calculation!

In fact, whether this is a misunderstanding or the company really has ulterior motives, it can indirectly reflect the current situation of serious internal circulation in the market.

A few years ago, it would have been much more difficult to recruit a suitable candidate based on such a job posting. According to netizens, the salary offered by this company was only around 5k.

Now that the company dares to write this, there may be two situations. One is that the company is not in a hurry to recruit people, and if it can recruit a talent, it will be a profit. The second situation is that the current market supply far exceeds the demand, so the company naturally has the confidence to put forward some seemingly "unreasonable" requirements.

Faced with this situation, some people can't help but sigh, how could the recruitment market be so hot before, and become like this now. Some people may think that the boom of cross-border e-commerce has passed, but as an industry insider, I am still optimistic about the long-term development of the industry in the future.
