Alibaba needs two types of technicians. One type is those who have never done any work before, but are capable and easy to train.

The other type is those who have relevant work experience and are relatively capable. These two types are more common.

The others are internal referrals or those brought in by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In recent years, there have been a lot of people coming from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and I don’t know why. Other positions are actually not much different. There are more campus recruitments, and positions like operations are also filled by people from other companies. Social recruitment is more difficult and requires very solid basic skills. Don’t even think about management positions, as they are all recommended and poached by headhunters, and only a small number of them come on their own.

If you want to join Alibaba, you must master the basic skills of your profession, and don’t miss the opportunity for internal referrals. I feel that the chances of internal referrals are greater.
