What are the pitfalls of job interviews?

During the interview, HR can preliminarily judge the applicant's brain CPU speed, thinking ability, thinking style, logical ability, values, personality characteristics, etc. through the applicant's answers, and use this as a basis for hiring or not. in accordance with. So how you answer HR's questions is crucial to the success of the interview. In interviews, there are always some questions that seem plain and simple, but actually have profound meaning behind them. Here are some common “traps” in interviews.

1. Please introduce yourself.

Someone once complained to me that HR who asked job seekers to introduce themselves during interviews was very mechanical and brainless. I’ve already written it clearly on my resume, but you still want me to introduce myself? My name is so-and-so, can’t you tell my gender?

The complaints may seem reasonable, but in fact they do not understand the intention behind HR, which is not to ask you to introduce the basic information on your resume. What HR wants to know more is whether your work experience and skills are qualified for the position he is recruiting for.

Some weird job seekers describe all their romantic experiences when introducing themselves. Unless you are recruiting matchmakers on a dating website, who wants to hear you talk about this?

2. What shortcomings do you think you have?

"Oh, am I stupid if I tell you what shortcomings I have?" I once met a job seeker who said that his shortcomings are that he has no shortcomings. HR felt embarrassed for him. The company can't afford such a perfect person.

There are also loyal and honest good babies who directly admit their shortcomings. "I am not good at talking and have an introverted personality." Please, I'm recruiting for sales. Your answer makes it impossible for HR to save your relationship with this job.

3. Why did you leave your last company?

At this moment, some people can't control their desire to complain about their former employer, and they say a lot of bad things about the former company. The boss is stingy, wages are low, overtime is always worked, and management is chaotic...HR feels ashamed and thinks: What should we do if our company is similar?

Some people don’t speak ill of the company, but they expose themselves. "The company has many rules, and I like to break the rules and do things." Oops, HR was scared when he heard it. I don’t dare to use you if you are so powerful.

Actually, there are no specific correct answers to interview questions. The important thing is to have clear ideas and not to be confused by HR’s smile or serious face and start talking nonsense. You should guess the intention behind it and be a "face tyrant" seriously.
