One of the solutions: bypass the trap

Interview scenario:

A well-known consulting company recruits consultants. After several rounds of answering questions, the interviewer suddenly said, "I am very dissatisfied with your interview today." Do you know what answers you have that don't meet our employment needs? "

The confident candidate was shocked when he heard a completely negative answer. I tried to recall the interview answer, but found nothing wrong, so I hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to answer it.

Job hunting:

It is typical of stress interview to deny one's own achievements and opinions first, and then look at the handling ability of job seekers when they are denied. There are many similar questions, such as "Do you think your answer just now is correct? I don't think this is right. Why are you so sure? " "This is your resume? Obviously, there are not enough preparations and revisions, and there are many mistakes. " "I don't think what you are wearing today is suitable for the culture and requirements of our company." "You're not from Shanghai, are you? How can I work in Shanghai if I can't speak Shanghai dialect? " "I am very disappointed with your interview performance today!" Wait a minute. Seeing through the trap is the key to such problems.

1, stay calm. Job seekers should not be frightened by unexpected questions. As long as you face every question seriously, and your reasoning logic is clear and your answer is self-evident, you should have confidence in your judgment and answer, and keep smiling and calm.

2. Explain patiently. Job seekers may regard recruiters as difficult customers. While sticking to your own opinions, you should give a calm explanation to his unreasonable criticism, show patience and self-restraint, and try your best to show the calmness and calmness that a professional manager should have, instead of arguing with excitement and gaffes.

3. Ask a rhetorical question. In addition to explanations, job seekers can also ask rhetorical questions. For example, "What do you think my resume needs to be improved" or "You are disappointed with my interview performance. What should an excellent interview performance look like? " Wait a minute.

In a word, peace of mind, patience and meticulous, calm and sophisticated, full of confidence and unflappable in times of crisis are the personality characteristics that stress interview needs to show.

Solution 2: Fight to the end.

Interview scenario:

"Can you talk about some of your failed professional experiences?"

"What have you learned from these experiences?"

"From the experience, your personality is depressed and pessimistic, which is not suitable for our work."

"Your dress color is dark, giving people a feeling of not taking the initiative in the sunshine, and your words also reveal your lack of confidence."

"How many points did you give yourself in this interview?" ……

Job hunting:

Different from the previous interview type, this kind of pressure interview quickly asks a series of questions, and every time the job seeker answers a question, it will become the handle of the next question, and the interviewer will exert pressure accordingly, which will seriously undermine the confidence and courage of the job seeker. In addition, it will deliberately create a serious atmosphere and exert pressure. For example, five examiners interview a job seeker. Examiners are very serious, and their questions are full of gunpowder. They tried their best to embarrass the players and didn't give them any respite. If a player says he is cheerful, the examiner asks him to tell a joke, but no matter what the joke is, the examiner is expressionless, which makes the player feel great pressure.

This kind of interview has only one goal. Behind the tricky questions, we try to examine job seekers' ability and adaptability, independent work ability and team spirit, obedience to leaders, ability to deal with difficult problems, attitude to deal with emergencies, patience and professional style. In this regard, it is best for job seekers to stick to it, answer every question seriously, and maintain enough patience and confidence.
