How to interview foreign company clerks?

Problems and taboos that should be paid attention to in the interview process

First, the problems that should be paid attention to in the interview

Candidates must pay attention to the following questions if they want to successfully answer the interview:

(A) played down the sense of success or failure of the interview

Before an interview, an interviewer feels that he is better than others in all aspects, so he feels that he can rest easy. Who knows that the examiner surprised him in the interview and asked a question he had never heard of. Suddenly, he seems to have lost his soul and his mood is very low. When the examiner asked some simple questions, he still couldn't get out of the failure just now, and he finally fell into Sun Shan.

Candidates should first pay attention to downplaying the success or failure of the interview, and have a detached attitude of "not being happy with things, not being sad for yourself". If you have such a mentality during the interview, you will be calm. If you only think of success and don't think of failure, you will panic and fail in an interview if you encounter an unexpected situation.

(2) Maintain self-confidence

Candidates have established their self-confidence before the interview, and they should always maintain their self-confidence during the interview. Only by maintaining self-confidence can we always maintain a high degree of attention, careful thinking, keen judgment and abundant energy in the interview and win the defense.

(3) Keep a cheerful attitude.

A cheerful mental state can fully reflect people's mental outlook. Therefore, as a candidate, if you keep a happy mental state, your facial expressions will be harmonious and natural, and your language will be appropriate and fluent. On the contrary, it will give people a feeling of depression and lack of vigor and vitality, and then it will first give the examiner or host an impression of a bad mental state. It can be seen that we must pay attention to maintaining a pleasant mental state during the interview.

(D) Establish the awareness of the other party

Candidates are always in a passive position, and examiners or examiners are always in an active position. He asks you to answer, ask and answer. Because of this, candidates should pay attention to building the awareness of each other. First of all, we should respect each other and be polite to the examiner, especially when the examiner asks some difficult questions. Candidates should not show ugly expressions on their faces, or even complain about the examiner or the host. Of course, respecting each other does not mean blindly catering to each other and acting according to each other's face. Respecting the examiner means respecting his personality; Secondly, don't blindly mention my level, my knowledge, my diploma, my ambition and my requirements in the interview. Too many words "I" will give the examiner a sense of arrogance. So we should use the word "I" as little as possible and put another unit in as much as possible. "Your unit has always attached importance to talents, and everyone knows it. This time so many people came to compete to illustrate this point. " This kind of words is not only appropriate, but also establishes the strong consciousness of the other party, which is very popular with the examiner; Again, the examiner asks questions before you answer. Don't let the examiner speak without asking questions. This will make the examiner or moderator wait for you to stop and ask questions, which will not only delay time, but also bring unhappiness to the examiner or moderator. In addition, don't forget to say "thank you" and "goodbye" to the examiner or host after the interview.

(e) The interview language should be concise and fluent.

There are strict time limits for interviews. So the interview language should be boring and to the point. At the same time, the language should be organized and logical, pay attention to the sense of rhythm and ensure the fluency of the language. Don't be vague and hesitant, which will leave a bad impression on the examiner or the host and lead to the failure of the interview. Therefore, candidates must pay attention to the conciseness and fluency of the interview language.

(6) Don't be nervous.

Some candidates are nervous as soon as they enter the interview room, even though they are fully prepared before the interview. Some candidates get nervous immediately when they get stuck in their defense. How to solve the psychological tension in these two situations? We should analyze the causes of tension. This extreme tension is caused by the candidate's timidity and eagerness to win. Therefore, as soon as candidates enter the interview room, they must get rid of the consciousness of "inferiority" and establish the consciousness of "everyone is similar, and my level is the same as others". With this awareness, the tension will be reduced by more than half, and with the start of the interview, the tension may disappear completely. If you are nervous when you are stuck, if you hold the attitude of "winning is the best, it doesn't matter if you can't win", the nervousness will disappear immediately, and you will soon enter the normal interview state, and there may be a state of "another village". Therefore, candidates must be careful not to be nervous during the interview.

(seven) generous behavior, decent behavior.

Bold and avant-garde, heavy make-up, especially men wearing rings, long hair and other unconventional dresses are not suitable, which is inconsistent with the identity of office workers and will leave a bad impression on examiners. After taking a seat, candidates should try not to shake their legs, play with pens, touch their heads and stick out their tongues, which will easily give the examiner a naive and frivolous feeling. Generally speaking, the dress should be dignified and generous, and can be slightly modified. Men can blow their hair neatly, their shoes can be cleaned, and women can wear elegant professional makeup. In short, we should give the examiner the impression of being natural, generous and capable.

(8) Head-up examiner, supercilious.

In the examination room, quite a few candidates can't control their emotions well, and tend to go to two extremes: First, they think that the seven examiners sitting opposite them are knowledgeable and occupy important positions, and they will be laughed at if they answer wrong. Therefore, I am timid and hesitant, but I can't "pour" the goods in my stomach. Second, some candidates have served as student union cadres in universities, organized many activities, and have strong social practice ability, or served as managers and other leadership positions in enterprises, and also commanded a group of people, so they are very confident. Enter the examination room, like nobody's business, and sneer at the examiner. Both of these performances are not desirable, which will affect the interview scores of candidates. The best performance should be: head-up examiner, polite, neither supercilious nor supercilious. We should establish three kinds of mentality: first, the two sides are cooperating rather than competing. The examiner's attitude towards the candidates is generally friendly. His task is to select outstanding talents to state organs, rather than trying to compete with candidates. Therefore, candidates should not psychologically locate who is strong and who is weak. This is not the purpose of the interview. Second, candidates apply for jobs through competition, not begging for jobs from examiners. The key to success in the exam lies in one's own talent and improvisation, which is not decided by the examiner subjectively. Third, examiners come from different industries, with high general education and work experience, high theoretical level and rich work experience. But after all, it is a person, not a god. They have their strengths and weaknesses. Maybe they don't know what you have.

(9) Dialectical analysis and multidimensional answer

Dialectics is the basic principle and method of philosophy. Candidates should have certain philosophical knowledge and mind. Don't fall into absolute affirmation and negation when answering questions, but consider the pros and cons in many ways. Judging from some problems in previous interviews, the focus of evaluation is often not the right or wrong answers of candidates, or the approval and opposition of opinions, but the convincing degree of analysis and reasoning. Listen to dialectical analysis and solve problems, instead of simply jumping to conclusions. Sometimes, we should think from multiple angles and analyze specific situations.

(10) Think calmly and clear your mind.

Generally speaking, after the examiner asks questions, candidates should think about it a little and don't have to answer in a hurry. Even if the questions asked by the examiner are similar to those you prepared in advance, don't answer the questions as soon as the examiner's voice falls. That may give the examiner a feeling that you are not using your brain to answer questions, but memorizing prepared answers. If it is a topic you have never touched before, you should think calmly. Sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter. If you answer questions in a hurry, you may be wrong, rambling or disorganized, and grab your eyebrows and beard. After thinking, clearing the train of thought, grasping the main points and answering questions with a clear-cut stand, the effect will be better.

Second, the interview taboo

(A) avoid bad language in the interview

1. Emergency treatment

"How is your treatment?" If you haven't finished the work, you should make an offer first, not to mention that you haven't been hired! It is understandable to talk about remuneration, but to seize the opportunity, it is generally put forward euphemistically when both parties have preliminary intentions.

Report an acquaintance

"I know XXX from your company", "XXX and I are classmates and have a good relationship", and so on. This kind of words will disgust the examiner. If the examiner has a bad relationship with the person you said, or even has contradictions, then the result of your words will be even worse.

3. Improper rhetorical question

The examiner asked, "What are your salary expectations?" The applicant asked, "How much are you going to pay?" Such a rhetorical question is impolite and can easily cause the examiner's displeasure.

4. illogical

The examiner asked, "Please tell me a failed experience." "I don't remember I failed." It doesn't make logical sense for you to say so. Another example is: "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" "I can do all the work." This is also unrealistic.

put the cart before the horse

For example, at the end of the interview, the examiner asked the candidate, "Do you have any questions for us?" The candidate leaned over and started his question: "How big is your unit? What is the enrollment ratio? Excuse me, what position do you hold in the unit? Would you like to be my boss? " When you attend the interview, you must put your position in order. Like this candidate, you just didn't put yourself in the right position and asked questions beyond the scope you should ask, which made the examiner feel very disgusted.

(B) in the interview, to avoid bad habits

During the interview, some candidates' bad habits of informality damaged their image, which greatly reduced the effect of the interview and led to failure. Hand: This part is the most prone to problems. If your hands are always fidgeting and busy, do some actions such as wearing a tie, picking your nose, stroking your hair, breaking your joints, and playing with the business card handed over by the examiner.

Feet: shaking nervously, stretching forward, leaning, etc. , not only artificially create tension, but also appear absent-minded and quite rude.

Eyes: either flustered or evasive, when it is time to face up, eyes are vacillating, giving people the impression of not being confident or hiding ulterior secrets, which is easy to disgust the examiner; In addition, staring at the examiner will inevitably give people a sense of oppression and cause dissatisfaction.

Face: either dull and rigid, or indifferent and lifeless. How can such a zombie expression move people? Get rid of it quickly. A lively and moving face is very important.

Good: his movements are at a loss, in a panic, and he obviously lacks confidence; Being slow and at a loss will not only degrade yourself, but also make you look "flat" by the examiner.

In a word, when interviewing, you must get rid of these bad habits, and you should be polite, supercilious, generous, decent and lively from beginning to end. This can not only greatly enhance your image, but also often greatly increase your chances of success.

(3) Avoid bad attitudes during the interview.

No matter who attends the interview, no matter what your quality or level is, don't forget that you were selected by the employer. Attention should be paid to the following attitudes:

1. Avoid arrogance and rashness.

Some candidates are among the best in written test scores and have excellent conditions in all aspects, so they are arrogant. In the interview, he was arrogant and forced to speak. Forgive Emperor R for invading the epiphyseal ridge and ask him out. What? Scarlet Puni? International insurance? Look at the defects of the old 2? Air tickets for ⒕⒕⒕⒕⒕⒕⒕⒕⒕⒕? Are you in love? Hey? Seven times. What's the problem? What's the problem? Is it engraved with Meng Meng's "ノ"? Dangerous? About sailing? Weaver planted the scar? Meng said, "What are you doing?" ? Join? What happened to stealing oranges? Locust? Shake your head secretly? Do you want to pay back the money? Barren land 3 throw Zhu Bo? 1? What are you doing? What is a Chinese fir leech in Ye Si? Disaster relief? Is it worth it? Are you jealous of the grave? Is it true that Meng Meng's wife is lying? What about Yan Yue? What are you doing? Sacrifice the sacrum? Epilepsy? br & gt

2. Narcissism and indifference

Some candidates are usually withdrawn, indifferent and preoccupied, bringing this character into the interview room. In the interview, the attitude is indifferent, and I can't actively cooperate with the examiner, lacking the necessary enthusiasm and intimacy. I am afraid that the leaders of all employers hope that their employees can live in harmony, be kind to others, unite and help each other, make people feel relaxed and happy, and thus improve work efficiency. Even if the candidate usually flinches, you should overcome it during the interview, otherwise the atmosphere will be dull and the answer will be mechanical, and it is hard to say that there is hope of winning.

(4) Avoid poor performance in the interview.

1. Not prepared enough

No matter how high your education is, how rich your experience is, and how rich your work experience is, when the examiner finds that the candidate doesn't know much about the position he is applying for, and even can't answer the most basic questions well, his impression will naturally be greatly reduced. Examiners will not only feel that candidates are not fully prepared, but even think that candidates have no ambition to develop in this field at all. So be fully prepared before the interview.

2. Being late for an appointment

Being late for an appointment is a taboo in an interview. This will not only show that the applicant has no sense of time and responsibility, but also make the examiner feel that the applicant has no enthusiasm for the work, and the impression will naturally be greatly reduced. Punctuality is not only a virtue, but also a necessary condition in an interview. So you should arrive early or on time 10 ~ 15 minutes. If you are late or absent because of something important, you must call the company as soon as possible to make an appointment for another interview. In addition, if you are in a hurry to go to the company and have an interview before you calm down, the interview results will be greatly discounted.

3. Lack of goals

During the interview, never give the impression that the examiner has no clear goal. Although other conditions are good, some candidates have no goals in their work, which will lead to lack of initiative and creativity and bring losses to enterprises. The examiner would rather hire a candidate who is inferior to himself in all aspects, but has great goals and enthusiasm.

4. Try to be brave and smart

As soon as some candidates enter the interview examination room, they are free and radiant, showing superiority everywhere. Whether the examiner is willing or not, take the initiative to shake hands with them one by one, and then sit down safely; The examiner's questions are obvious. When answering questions, he always likes to start with the words "I think" and "I advocate". No matter right or wrong, it is a big talk. Originally, I really couldn't answer some questions myself, but I was clever enough to ramble, preferring to miss the questions rather than be honest. Doing so is not only easy to make people laugh, but also makes the examiner feel that you are conceited, perfunctory and untrustworthy.

5. Talk too much about your predecessor's work

No matter how well your predecessor did, don't say too much. Generally speaking, you just need to show that you have done similar things and have relevant experience, not to mention the effectiveness of your work. If you did a good job, why did you leave? If you don't do well, there must be something wrong with your personal ability. In short, in any case, it may attract the examiner's disgust.

6. "befriend" the examiner

It is forbidden for examiners with certain professional qualities to befriend candidates, because the relationship between the two sides is too casual or too tense in the interview, which will affect the examiner's judgment. "Making friends" will objectively prevent candidates from presenting their professional experience and skills well in a short interview time. Smart candidates can give one or two examples to praise the recruiting unit, thus showing your interest in this company.

7. long speech

Although the interview is selling yourself, don't talk endlessly. Examiners are most afraid of candidates' long speeches, which have no ending or beginning. In fact, you only need to grasp the key points to answer questions. On the contrary, some candidates are very shy and don't know how to seize the opportunity to express themselves. No matter what questions are answered, there are often only one or two answers, or even only "yes, yes, good, ok", which is not desirable. If you are timid and shy, you should practice more.

8. Not good at breaking the silence

At the beginning of the interview, candidates are not good at breaking the silence and waiting for the examiner to open the box. During the interview, the candidates were unwilling to take the initiative to speak because of various concerns, which led to silence in the interview. Even if you can barely break the silence, the pronunciation and intonation are extremely blunt, which makes the scene even more embarrassing. In fact, whether before or during the interview, the examinees will leave a good impression of being enthusiastic and good at talking when they greet and speak.

9. There are too many modal particles

Using too many modal particles or buzzwords such as "eh, la, ba" will upset the examiner, and will only make the examiner mistakenly think that you are inferior and unprepared.

10. Scold others

In the interview, criticizing the current or former leaders and colleagues in front of the examiner will not only get sympathy, but will only make people feel that you hold grudges, forget old feelings, don't know how to get along with others, and even attract the examiner's disgust.

1 1. Lying for honor

In an interview, lying, forging "history" or "taking credit for yourself" that doesn't belong to you can have great or small consequences. Even if we can hide it now, there is no guarantee that lies will not be exposed in the future. Therefore, when interviewing, you should tell the truth. You can foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, but you can't replace facts with lies.

Third, the misunderstanding in the interview

Some large foreign companies even give explicit provisions on not being hired. For example, a Japanese company said: "candidates with a voice as light as mosquitoes will not be hired;" Those who speak without cadence will not be hired; If the conversation is irrelevant, you won't be hired; If the interview answer is not neat, it will not be hired ... "In a word, we should at least get out of the following two misunderstandings.

lack confidence

Lack of confidence is due to fear of being hired. Assuming that the knowledge and talents of job seekers basically meet the requirements, then lack of self-confidence is a sign of inferiority. Driven by this psychology, its various manifestations:

1. Speak hesitatingly, with a voice as light as a mosquito's call and an unnatural expression. Afraid of saying the wrong thing and making a fool of yourself, worried that you don't meet the requirements.

2. Speak empty, sometimes unconsciously increase the volume. Often accompanied by expressions, gestures, gestures. Talking is empty and boring, and making too many small moves is to cover up the timid performance of inner anxiety.

3. Deliberately pursuing appearance does not meet the job requirements. Job seekers can pay attention to the neatness and propriety of their clothes. Fresh graduates should not wear heavy make-up or suits to compete for positions as government officials. In fact, it is to cover up your inner weakness.

4. Interrupt each other frequently when speaking, for fear that the other party will not understand themselves, especially for fear that the other party will misunderstand themselves. I want to be brave by interrupting. On the one hand, it's impolite, on the other hand, it's a deliberate attempt to hide one's lack of confidence.

5. Only talk about Nuo Nuo, only think with each other, only obey and nod when dealing with all topics, but you can't see your subjective initiative, let alone show your personality.

There are many manifestations of lack of self-confidence, and its general characteristics are looking forward and backward, timid, cautious and worried. Modern psychology tells us: "apart from some basic conditions, success comes from self-confidence." Only with a calm mind, a natural attitude and seeking truth from facts can we give full play to our knowledge and ability, even to the extreme and achieve success.

(b) forcing others to do so.

One of the conditions for a successful interview is to have sex with the other person. However, some people like to talk about topics that they think they are also interested in, and the topic of "making friends" that they think the other person also knows, and the result is often counterproductive. It should be noted that both parties are guests and masters in the process of self-recommendation. Guests must please the Lord, and guests must touch the Lord. The guest's soliloquy can't make the Lord sing, but it makes people feel bored, and its failure is inevitable. Shang Yang in the Warring States Period in ancient China introduced himself to the King of Qin and talked about business ethics for the first time. "Filial piety and old sleep, but listen"; Talking about Wang for the second time, "filial piety is still listening"; Talking about hegemony for the third time, "filial piety has public interests"; The fourth careful preparation and successful recommendation in one fell swoop set off the famous "Shang Yang Reform" movement in the history of China.

During the interview, please follow the principle of taking care of the guests. The interviewer is the dominant party and determines the content and direction of the conversation. However, brilliant job seekers should try to control each other's questions and ideas and lead them to the content and direction that is beneficial to them. At this point, the interviewer is the dominant party in form, but in fact, while trying to make the other party feel that they are still in control of the situation, the job seeker has successfully "peacefully evolved" the topic to his own position. Emphasize that the other party must feel that they are still in control of the situation, otherwise they will still go into the misunderstanding of forcing others to do so.

Iv. 12 various "advanced" mistakes in the interview of civil servants

No one can guarantee that there will be no mistakes in the job interview. It's just that smart job seekers will constantly correct their mistakes and mature. However, some mistakes in the interview are inevitable for some quite smart job seekers, and we have the right to call them "advanced" mistakes.

(A) not good at breaking the silence

At the beginning of the interview, the applicant is not good at "breaking the ice" (English literal translation, that is, breaking the silence), waiting for the interviewer to open the box. During the interview, the candidates were unwilling to take the initiative to speak because of various concerns, which led to silence in the interview. Even if you can barely break the silence, the pronunciation and intonation are extremely blunt, which makes the scene even more embarrassing. In fact, whether before or during the interview, the interviewer will take the initiative to say hello and talk, which will leave the interviewer with a good impression of being enthusiastic and good at talking to people.

(B) and the interviewer "befriend."

Interviewers with certain professional qualities are forbidden to befriend candidates, because the relationship between the two sides is too casual or too tense during the interview, which will affect the interviewer's judgment. Too much "making friends" will also objectively prevent candidates from presenting their professional experience and skills well in a short interview time. Smart candidates can give one or two well-founded things to praise the recruiting unit, thus showing your interest in this company.

(3) Influenced by prejudice or prejudice

Sometimes, your understanding of the interviewer before attending an interview or the negative comments of the employer will affect your thinking in the interview. Interviewers who mistakenly think they look cold are either strict or dissatisfied with the candidates, so they are very nervous. Sometimes, the interviewer is a young lady who looks much younger than herself, and she begins to whisper, "How can she be qualified to interview me?" In fact, in the recruitment interview, a special procurement relationship, as a supplier, candidates need to take the initiative to face different styles of interviewers, that is, customers. A real salesman can't choose his own attitude when facing customers.

(4) make a generous speech, but you can't give examples.

When a candidate talks about personal achievements, specialties and skills, once a clever interviewer asks, "Can you give me one or two examples?" Candidates are speechless. And the interviewer just thinks: facts speak louder than words. In the interview, if the candidate wants to win the trust of others with his so-called communication skills, problem-solving skills, teamwork skills and leadership skills, there is only one example.

Lack of positive momentum

Interviewers often mention or touch on things that embarrass candidates. Many people are red-faced, or evasive, or lying perfunctory, rather than honest answers and positive explanations. For example, the interviewer asked: Why did you change jobs three times in five years? Some people may say how difficult the work is and why the superiors don't support it, instead of telling the interviewer that although the work is difficult, they have learned a lot and matured a lot.

(6) Loss of professional elegance

Some candidates did well in all aspects during the interview, but once they were asked about their current company or previous company, they would angrily attack the boss or company and even abuse them. In many large international enterprises, or in front of professional interviewers, this kind of behavior is very taboo.

(7) Not good at asking questions

Some people ask questions when they shouldn't, such as interrupting the interviewer in an interview. Some people are not prepared enough to ask questions before the interview, and they don't know what to say when it's their turn to ask questions. In fact, a good question is better than countless words in the resume, which will make the interviewer sit up and take notice.

(eight) vague personal career development planning

For personal career development planning, many people only have goals and no ideas. For example, when asked, "What is your career development plan for the next five years?" At that time, many people will reply, "I hope to be the national sales director within five years." If the interviewer then asks "Why?" Candidates often feel puzzled. In fact, any specific career development goal is inseparable from your assessment of your current skills and the rough skill development plan that needs to be drawn up in order to be competent for your career goals.

(9) Pretend to be perfect

Interviewers often ask: What is your weakness in character? Have you ever suffered setbacks in your career? Some people will not hesitate to answer: no, in fact, this answer is often irresponsible to themselves. No one has no weaknesses, and no one has never suffered setbacks. Only by fully recognizing one's own weaknesses and correctly recognizing one's own setbacks can one mold a truly mature personality.

(10) is "introduced into the urn"

Interviewers sometimes evaluate candidates' business judgment and business ethics. For example, after introducing the company's honest and trustworthy corporate culture or simply not introducing anything, the interviewer asked, "As a financial manager, what would you do if I (the general manager) asked you to evade taxes within 1 year?" If you scratch your head and come up with a plan for tax evasion on the spot, or if you are full of ideas, you will immediately list a lot of plans, all of which prove that you are trapped by them. In fact, in almost all large international enterprises, obeying the law is the most basic requirement of employees' behavior.

(eleven) take the initiative to ask about wages and benefits.

Some candidates will take the initiative to ask the interviewer about the salary and benefits of the position at the end of the interview, and the result is that haste makes waste. Interviewers with human resources professionalism are taboo to this kind of behavior. In fact, if the employer is interested in a candidate, it will naturally ask about his salary.

(12) I don't know how to end.

At the end of the interview, many job seekers will be incoherent and at a loss because of the excitement of success or the fear of failure. In fact, at the end of the interview, as a candidate, you might as well: express your understanding of the position you are applying for; Tell the interviewer enthusiastically that you are interested in this position and ask what the next step is; Smile and shake hands with the interviewer, and thank the interviewer for his reception and consideration.
