Limited to space, only two or three paragraphs can be extracted. On the afternoon of 9/9 14: 00, there will be a group interview on the 7th floor of Putuo Cultural Center. If you are from Shanghai, you are welcome to listen.
Seven things to do before an interview
First, develop the habit of recording recruitment information summary.
At present, many units start the first round of interviews by telephone. If you can't reply in time, it's easy to be passive. In particular, people who submit resumes in the "sea election" must develop the habit of recording recruitment information. It is also a sign of respect for the enterprise to record and summarize the recruitment information after receiving the interview call and reply in time.
Studying the recruitment information can also get the real job demand of the enterprise, so as to adjust the interview strategy accordingly.
Recruitment information summary can be recorded in computer documents, or it can be specially prepared for notebook records. This paper mainly records the name of the recruitment enterprise, job responsibilities, job requirements and contact names.
Second, find enterprise information.
Business scope, industry status, development strategy, cultural atmosphere, etc. All the information of an enterprise can be found through the Internet. It is essential to find "homework" for enterprise information when applying for well-known enterprises or cross-industry positions. What's more, "the degree of understanding of the enterprise" is also a question that is often asked during the interview. If you don't say anything, it will inevitably leave the impression that you are rushing to apply.
Looking for enterprise information, the network is of course a shortcut, but I think it is not intuitive. Moreover, it is inevitable to talk in general terms. Actually, seeing is believing. From the entrance to the interview, there are great opportunities for observation. Through the arrangement of the enterprise, the clothing, attitude and behavior of employees. , you can judge the operating conditions and cultural atmosphere of the enterprise. Even the income and working ability of employees can be seen.
Third, preview the common interview questions.
To put it bluntly, the interview is very simple, which is nothing more than examining whether the job seeker meets the job requirements. Generally speaking, the interview often starts from four aspects: self-introduction, personal experience, skill mastery and reasons for leaving, and examines the knowledge, skills and attitude of the applicant through a series of questions. If you have the conditions, you can find friends who have been engaged in recruitment or have certain interview experience and conduct mock interviews on some common interview questions. It's better to lose face in front of friends than in the interview. If you really can't find someone, it is equally effective to simulate an interview in front of the mirror.
Preparing well before the interview helps to eliminate nervousness, cultivate self-confidence and achieve success.
Here are two special reminders: first, self-introduction is often the first question in an interview, which is very important. If you are fully prepared, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Second, when answering questions, remember to have substance in words, be well-founded, be polite, be modest and prudent, and don't get carried away and talk big.
Fourth, find the bus route and estimate the travel time.
Being late is always embarrassing. No matter how many excuses there are, it is difficult to cover up the fact of lack of responsibility. Although the road traffic in Shanghai has been greatly improved in recent years, traffic jams still occur from time to time, especially during rush hours. Find a suitable route in advance and leave yourself some time. Arriving early can also give yourself some space, observe the company situation and adjust the interview mood.
5. Prepare the necessary items for the interview in advance.
The necessary items for the interview include ID card, labor manual, relevant certificates, resume, my job, paper, pen, etc. You can prepare according to the requirements of the interview notice.
6. Be prepared for dressing and personal appearance during the interview.
Get ready for the next day's clothes and decorations the night before the interview, so as not to rush to find clothes or razors. I suggest you read the recruitment information carefully. A food factory once recruited a freight driver and asked for a trial run during the interview to help carry it. A candidate in a smart suit was embarrassed to see greasy goods. ...
If you don't know how to dress yourself, you might as well consult your peers and see how they usually dress up for work.
Ensure adequate sleep before the interview.
Try not to stay up late before the interview, because the mental state of the candidates will directly affect the examiner's judgment and mood. An energetic candidate can often leave a good impression on the interviewer.
After stepping on shit-the interview crisis is resolved.
I met an accident in the interview and felt like stepping on shit when I went out. However, accidents will not change because of mood. Sometimes, as long as it is handled properly, shit may turn into dog excrement.
Being late for an interview is something that every job seeker doesn't want to encounter. However, life is full of accidents. There are always reasons for taking the wrong bus, getting stuck in traffic, oversleeping, working overtime temporarily, and forgetting to be late. You may not believe it, but in fact, the unit may not care about being late. If it is a centralized interview, you don't even have to say hello if you are late for a while. Because there are so many interviewers, the assistant who arranges the interview order outside and the interviewer inside are often two people. As long as you arrive before the end of the last interview, people inside don't even know that you are a latecomer. Isn't it self-defeating to explain at this time? If it's a second interview, or if you don't know the number of people to interview, just to be on the safe side, you must call before the interview starts to explain the situation and let the other party prepare early. This is a sign of responsibility and respect, and the unit rarely cares about saying hello in advance. No matter how late you arrive at the interview site, before the interview, please be sure to calm down your anxiety, wipe off the sweat on your face, tidy up your messy hair, smooth the wrinkles of your clothes, recall your application ideas, and then pretend as if nothing had happened and walk in with a smile. Never take the initiative to explain why you are late unless the interviewer asks. Remember, whether you can be hired or not depends mainly on your interview performance. Don't be too late.
Inadequate preparation is the taboo of the interview. Unfortunately, sometimes too many resumes are submitted, and the company's notice is too late, and even the original recruitment information can't be found. Don't worry, at least you know the name of the company. Search some enterprise information on the Internet first. We often say that seeing is believing, we should arrive at the unit ahead of time, don't sit and wait solemnly, talk to the staff more and observe the situation of the unit more. Interview IT technology, you can pay attention to the operating system and software used by the unit, and judge the main business of the enterprise and the computer level of the employees by listening and observing; When interviewing civil servants, we can pay attention to the company's office equipment and judge the corporate culture and personnel structure through the clothing and behavior of employees. These observations and judgments are also a test of the professional quality of job seekers, which often have unexpected results in interviews.
Making things difficult is a common way for enterprises to examine job seekers' EQ. For example, "You have no work experience, why should you apply?" "Your image doesn't seem to meet our requirements. What do you think? " "Would you please go downstairs and buy me a drink?" And so on. Facing the difficulties of enterprises, the first thing job seekers should do is to control their emotions. Scientific experiments have proved that when we become overly nervous under pressure, blood will leave the cerebral cortex, making our behavior abnormal. At this time, the animal nature in the brain plays a leading role, making us behave like the most primitive animals. Acting like a primitive animal in an interview will obviously get you into big trouble. In the face of difficulties, smart job seekers generally adjust their coping strategies according to job requirements: "What you said may be reasonable, but you can't generalize. Although I have no work experience, it doesn't mean that I lack work experience. Your company requires ... I ... it is based on such confidence that I am full of confidence in this job "; "Before coming to the interview, I repeatedly studied the recruitment information of your company. I think the most important thing in this job is the service concept. I ... in terms of image, I think the most important thing in this job is temperament, followed by body shape and appearance. I ... so I'm not the best-looking candidate, but I'm the best one for your company. what do you think? The last rhetorical question can judge whether the interviewer is sophisticated or not. What kind of drinks do you like? What flavor do you like? "(according to the other person's sense of humor, you can add" can you buy me a drink ").
Answering the wrong trap question is also one of the common shit. In an interview with a network administrator, the interviewer asked the job seeker which course he liked best at school, and the job seeker answered "PE" without thinking. Unexpectedly, the interviewer then asked physical education class what help he could give to do the job well. Job seekers were completely unprepared, and began to ramble, far-fetched, and the results were unintelligible. For fresh graduates who lack interview experience, the trap problem is often hard to prevent. I remember a famous saying: wrong is wrong, and refusing to admit it is wrong. In this case, mistakes are often added when they are made; Only when you have the courage to admit your mistake will you have a chance to turn the tide: "I'm sorry, I didn't understand you just now." Sports are just my hobby. My favorite major at school is actually ... "
Analysis of Common Interview Questions
First, introduce yourself.
Generally speaking, an open-ended question will be asked in an enterprise interview to give job seekers a chance to introduce themselves freely. For example, "Why do you apply for this job", "Please introduce yourself", "What are your hobbies", "What do you think are the advantages and disadvantages of applying for this job", "How will you do this job well" and so on.
Answering such a question is like advertising yourself. There are two things to remember:
1, the answer should be closely related to the post responsibilities and requirements, as concise and objective as possible. Information unrelated to job requirements is just "noise" for enterprises. When you recommend yourself, you should be focused and concise. Just like watching an advertisement, you can only remember one slogan and one or two minutes of self-introduction, and the interviewer can only remember one or two characteristics of you. When introducing yourself, objective facts are more credible than rhetoric. For example, "I analyzed the recruitment information of your company. From …, I can see that you want to recruit … (job requirements) and I … (own advantages). My goal is ... (career planning), and your company is just ... (company needs) "; "Your introduction just now reminds me of a work experience ..."
2. Introduce yourself. Don't completely repeat the contents of your resume. The interviewer was looking at your resume during the interview. What's the point of repeating? I suggest you introduce your name, school and major in 20 seconds at most. Then the conversation turned to one's own advantages or strengths. Be sure to arouse the interviewer's goodwill or at least interest in you in the shortest time. "My name is XXX, I come from XX school, majoring in XX, and graduated from undergraduate (junior college). In addition to the introduction you saw on my resume, I want to talk about my major in XXX. My biggest feature is ... (taking the job requirements as an example) ".
Second, doubt (challenging question).
Enterprises often examine the emotional intelligence of candidates by asking questions suddenly: "We think you are too young/too old for this job, what do you think"; Tell me about your shortcomings, okay? "What do you think you lack when applying for this job"; "Your major is not right. Why should we hire you?" And so on.
It should be pointed out that since the company has an interview, it is an affirmation of the resume itself. Sudden questioning is to hope that the applicant will state the reasons and refute. So when you answer, you must be calm, avoid being emotional and tit-for-tat, so as not to cause the interviewer's disgust.
We might as well start with some euphemistic words, such as "there is some truth in what you say, but not all of it". Pay attention to the evidence when stating reasons. "After reading the advertisement in your, I found that what you value most is ... and I ... (hard work, proof of performance)"; "In fact, the criterion for judging whether a person is suitable for work is not age, but experience. I used to ... "; "I won't say that my shortcoming is that I work too hard and don't pay attention to rest (laugh, ease the interview atmosphere). My biggest weakness is that I will be extremely nervous when facing senior managers, and sometimes I will even be incoherent or even aphasia. If you don't make mistakes, you will blush and heartbeat. I guess this is a continuation of the school teacher's phobia (pay attention to the last sentence, enough for the interviewer to forgive you this shortcoming) ".
Mature enterprises attach importance to experience and ability when employing people. There are many examples of successful applicants who are not qualified professionally. It is especially suggested that students and friends who have not graduated should set their future work goals as soon as possible, make reasonable plans, look for internship opportunities in a targeted manner, actively participate in group activities, and accumulate "capital" for future applications.
To answer challenging questions, sometimes you can change your mind and avoid contradictions skillfully. For example, when talking about your own shortcomings, you can focus on the efforts you are making to overcome these shortcomings and draw out your own advantages through these shortcomings. "I feel that I lack the courage to say' no', and sometimes it is a bit abusive. It's been like this since the internship. Even if I am overloaded, I will still agree to other people's requirements, whether it is my boss or my peers. And I am a person who can't sleep at all, so I have to burn the midnight oil often to get things done. And others found that I can finish the task every time, thought I had spare capacity, and then gave me a new task ... "
Finally, give an example of clever use of empathy for readers' reference: "You said that the goal in the next five years is department heads, didn't that crowd out my position?" How dare I use you? "A job seeker replied," My excellent work proves your ability to choose people and know people. By the time I became a supervisor, you should have been promoted to the position of manager because of what we have achieved for you. "
Third, the trap problem.
Trap questions sometimes put job seekers in a specific background: "Through your resume, we found that you have a solid professional foundation and rich experience. Here is a' case', please express your views. " Before Kan Kan talks, I suggest that everyone be modest: "We know a little, but we are not proficient, so we can discuss it together." . Leave some room for yourself.
Sometimes companies will ask, "Look at your resume, many companies should look for you." "Do you get along well with your former colleagues? Do you often keep in touch? " "Can I get the information of the previous company (or what the customer can bring)?" "Do you think the previous leaders were fair to you?" And so on. Simply answering "yes" or "no", "good" or "bad", "yes" or "no", "fair" or "unfair" can hardly satisfy the interviewer completely. When answering this trap question, you might as well play "Tai Chi". For example: "Maybe I can find a job with a higher salary, but the development prospect of your company is what I value most. I think it is most important to cherish what I have. What do you think? " ; "Everything can't be absolutely fair. Only by seizing the opportunity and making achievements in the work can we really get attention. I feel that your company's work is more conducive to giving play to my strengths, so I am full of confidence in this job. " When answering a question, don't turn the answer into a complaint, especially the fault of the former unit or colleague. Instead of sympathy, the interviewer will stay at a respectful distance from others and even have doubts about the candidate's character.
The trap problem also has an obvious sign-"hope". As long as the word is used in a question, it is often a trap question. For example, "What kind of leader do you want", "What kind of environment do you want to work in" and "How much salary do you want". Please note that leadership, environment and salary are not your decisions. Inexperienced job seekers often misunderstand this trap as an opportunity to speak freely. In the face of such problems, the most important thing is to keep a clear head and never be carried away by the respectful attitude of enterprises. "I don't think leadership is my choice. What I can do is to adjust myself to the leadership and give full play to the maximum efficiency of the organization. I once had a leader ... "; "I hope to work in a challenging environment from time to time, because there will be challenges before I can improve. However, in daily work, every colleague's environment and opportunities are the same. If you want to stand out from the crowd, you should take the initiative to look for challenges, such as actively helping your colleagues and actively studying ... "; "I know that the average salary in the market is in … (give a range, leave room, and tell the other party that you have done your homework), but I believe that a formal enterprise like your company must have its own perfect salary system. I don't know if you can introduce it to me (kicking the ball back to the other side). "
Fourth, the reasons for job-hopping and career change.
The reasons for job-hopping and career change are often asked in interviews. The purpose of enterprises is to judge the stability of candidates. The high turnover rate of employees will affect organizational stability, reduce organizational efficiency and increase expenses (recruitment and training). Therefore, impulsive and hasty job seekers are unpopular.
Among the reasons for job-hopping, address relocation, sexual harassment and office romance are acceptable reasons for enterprises; Answering that the position of the former company stifled the friends of personal development, it is best to explain your career plan and the reasons why the new company is suitable for personal development; If you answer a friend whose salary is not enough for living expenses, you should pay attention to whether you are frugal and whether your new job can meet the demand. Disagreement with leaders, exclusion, postgraduate entrance examination and blind pursuit of high salary are usually the answers that enterprises do not want to hear.
As for the reasons for changing careers, what companies want to hear is not only career planning, but also their efforts to change careers. "The professional market I have studied is not enough, and it is difficult to compete with others with my school and professional achievements. Fortunately, I am very interested in computers, so I decided to use my interest to find another way. At school, I got ... self-taught ... software. In order to apply for this job, I also ... "
5. Group interview.
If many people apply for the same position, in order to improve efficiency, the unit will adopt a group interview method. Through games, group discussions and other forms, observe the performance of candidates and judge whether they are competent.
A well-known IT enterprise recruits customer service in the form of group discussion. After self-introduction and discussion, the applicant was asked to evaluate the performance of himself and others.
We know that the most important thing to do a good job in customer service is to be good at listening and communicating. In order to make others accept their own views calmly, you should first repeat the main points and contents elaborated by the other party, so that everyone can know what he means, then gently point out contradictions, ask questions, cause thinking, and then further put forward your own views. For example, "After listening to each other's introduction just now, I think his main competitive advantage is that he proves his work experience through the example of …". Customer service has … requirements, and I think it would be better if he could explain it with some examples in …. I am ... explaining that I have adopted ... for the most important requirement of listening and communication skills in customer service, which is more reasonable ... "
It is most important to analyze the recruitment information in advance for group interviews. Thoroughly understand the job quality requirements and express yourself properly in the interview.
Sixth, there is a problem or no problem.
At the end of the interview, sometimes the interviewer will politely ask, "Do you have any questions?"
Is there a problem or no problem? In fact, it doesn't matter whether you answer "yes" or "no". This is just an opportunity for the applicant to impress the company. Therefore, questions must be positive and appropriate. Send a strong signal through the question: I have a strong desire to join your company, and I have done my homework carefully before coming.
Candidates can ask some questions about enterprise promotion training to show their enthusiasm and ambition; You can consult the interviewer or ask some common-sense questions about personal planning; You can also ask about the time of notification reply. In short, as long as it is positive and appropriate, you can ask it. One question is appropriate, generally no more than two.
It is best not to ask the following questions:
1, salary and benefits. Including salary, social insurance, overtime pay, working hours, non-competition restrictions, etc. The company hasn't decided to hire you yet. Why are you in such a hurry?
2. Business strategy. How do interviewers answer questions that involve business secrets or are outside the scope of others' work?
3. Repeat the question. Ask again what the interviewer said in the interview just now, which seemed absent-minded or impetuous. As mentioned above, it is impolite for an applicant of H company to ask the time and address of the second interview with the second interview notice.
4, the existing relevant policies and regulations clearly defined issues. Just look it up on the Internet yourself. I once saw an applicant and an interviewer entangled in issues related to the labor contract law, and I knew they were bored to death.
5. Business discussion. Regarding your business ability, you should seize the opportunity to show it in the interview. Interviewers often have limited time and will not rush to attend seminars in the end.
6. Your interview performance. Interviewers generally don't make any comments on the interview performance of candidates. To avoid embarrassment, at least don't ask on the spot.
7. Issues unrelated to the position. Since it has nothing to do with the job application, what is there to ask?
Finally, I introduce a skill of asking for a business card. Some netizens have consulted this question. Interviewers are generally reluctant to leave business cards for candidates for fear of getting into trouble. Therefore, if you suddenly want to ask for a business card after the interview, you should hand out your business card first, and then ask for the other party's business card after accepting it. At this time, interviewers are usually embarrassed not to give it. If the other party forgets to bring his business card, he can also leave his office phone number for future contact.
