1. illustrate one of the biggest advantages of the former company with specific examples I know.
From the industry point of view, a company generally has an obvious competitiveness in the eyes of peers, which may be a low price, a well-known product in a certain industry or a special service.
As a former employee, if this well-known advantage is true, then it can be said that the former company does have an advantage in XX, as everyone is rumored, and then I use a fact and case that I personally experienced or my colleagues personally experienced to prove the authenticity of this advantage.
2. Tell a small shortcoming to avoid giving the interviewer a bad impression that he is only willing to flatter the former company and is not honest enough.
If you just say good things about the former company, it is obviously hypocritical. Since everything is fine, why do you want to quit your job and find a new job?
Therefore, after talking about the company's great advantages, it is necessary to say a relatively less fatal and harmless small shortcoming. This shortcoming can be known in the industry, or it can only be related to personal likes and dislikes. In my own view, it is a shortcoming, but in others' view, it is only a merit.
But remember not to disclose information related to the company's operation, even involving trade secrets. For example, a large-scale project of the company failed, and you are worried about the future development of the company, or the company's top management changes frequently, and you think there are serious problems in internal management. Such information must be avoided.
What are the shortcomings that can be said? For example, where customers criticize your after-sales customer service more, or where you find it difficult to accept: others go to work at 9 am and get off work at 6 pm, while the previous company had to go to work at 8: 30 am and get off work at 5: 30 pm. These shortcomings have no fatal impact on the former company and are harmless.
3. Express gratitude to the former company.
Even when I finally resigned, I made some unpleasantness and complained a lot about the company, but from a longer distance, I can basically find out my cultivation and growth in this company, some good leaders and colleagues I met, and so on. I want to express my gratitude for all this. When interviewing for a new job and being asked about the evaluation of my former company, I should pay special attention to this point:
List your growth in this company in detail, for example, from a little white who knows nothing to a professional veteran who can be independent, such as participating in one or several projects, which gives you the opportunity to understand the whole picture of this project, or have the opportunity to be fully responsible for a large and important project, and you have achieved great growth;
Next, I want to thank the company for giving me such growth opportunities, and also thank the leaders who have given me trust and support.
After such a three-stage statement, we can satisfactorily answer the question "How to evaluate the former company" during the interview.
