What should I say when applying for a job?

The examiner was nervous about the interview. Every half hour, there are three students. Whoever comes first will be interviewed first. Some students may be late, and the latter will come off the bench. But not too soon. If time is not enough, you can walk around the company gate. Don't wait too long, because you won't leave a good impression on the examiner because you arrive early.

◆ Appropriate makeup

Hair should be combed neatly, shoes should be polished and dressed appropriately. Jeans should not be stained. Male students should shave and pay attention to dandruff. Female students should not wear heavy make-up or use too strong perfume.

◆ Pay attention to manners. Some students kept shaking their legs during the interview. These are impolite. It's better to be restrained on this occasion. In addition, choose a formal language when speaking, and don't use online language or slang.

◆ Tell the truth

I once interviewed a classmate of Tongji University, and the Chinese-American examiner spoke English with him. This classmate doesn't speak fluently. The examiner said he didn't speak well. He said that Tongji University teaches German, which means that he can speak very good German. The Chinese American happened to be a German student, so he said, OK, let's speak German. He asked two questions, but he couldn't answer them. Everyone has sympathy for the weak and shows relative helplessness as much as possible.

◆ Don't complain.

A classmate was an intern in a company and asked him why he didn't stay in the other company, so he criticized the company. At this time, as an examiner, it is easy to associate. If this classmate leaves, will he also talk about the company behind his back? So such students dare not take it.

Don't argue with others

A young examiner interviewed a classmate, "Where do you live?" The classmate replied that he was in Zhang Miao, and the examiner thought he was in Pudong, so he corrected, "Not in Pudong, but in Baoshan. What bus can I take from the new railway station? "

Then the difficulty of the questions asked by the examiner suddenly increased by several levels. So, if the examiner doesn't insult your personality, allow him to make mistakes and don't argue with the examiner, which will make him feel that you are easy to approach.

Get out of the misunderstanding of job hunting and knock on the door of success

Source: National College Graduates Employment Information Network.

"How do you feel about today's job search? It is difficult to choose a job. Hold a banner exhibition around the city and ask which bus you want to take. " This limerick is an impromptu work by Mr. Wang Dazheng, the human resources manager of NCR Financial System (China) Co., Ltd., when giving employment guidance to graduates at Peking University. Many participants think this poem expresses their confusion and helplessness.

What kind of people do enterprises need? How do graduates choose jobs? I'm honored to ask Mr. Wang to answer questions face to face.

Advice 1: What the company values is not your job-hunting skills.

"At present, some employment guidance often only introduces graduates to the specific situation of some employers, and lacks some guidance and guidance on the ideas or concepts of job seekers; And some books about job hunting make graduates pay too much attention to job hunting skills, which is harmful and useless. "Wang Dazheng gave an example: there was a vacancy in a company, and a job seeker did the same thing according to the job-hunting skills he knew, deliberately extroverted, but it backfired. Because this position belongs to the financial department, it needs to be proficient in professional knowledge and practical, and this person's performance can only prove that he is not suitable for working in such a team. Even if some graduates enter the enterprise with deliberate performance during the interview, they still face the crisis of being eliminated if they have problems with their work attitude or lack of ability. What's more, the interview does have some contingency, just as the winner in the singer's big hand contest is not necessarily the strongest person for various reasons, so job seekers can't bet their career success on job-hunting skills. Enterprises pay more attention to whether job seekers take their professional understanding and work attitude seriously. Graduates should pay more attention to their comprehensive quality and show their true selves. Therefore, when choosing a job, we should not only understand the specific situation of the employer, but also pay attention to the objective requirements of the current society for the professional quality, work attitude and personal quality of the applicant. Never knock on the door of career success by "applying for a job with these tricks".

Advice 2: When a pony crosses a river, know yourself and yourself.

The story of a pony crossing the river in childhood still inspires job seekers today. When the pony crossed the river, he couldn't listen to the old cow or the little squirrel, so he had to try the water before making a decision. This is Mr. Wang's suggestion. Although choosing a job is a two-way choice, for college students with zero work experience, the freedom of choice is more on the employer's side. Seats on the bus are limited, but job seekers are far more than that. College students who have just left school should not over-idealize their career choices. Facing the problems of survival and development, they need to give themselves a realistic position. Especially for college graduates who have just entered the society, the first thing to be solved is the survival problem, and then the development problem. Many people are sober when they fill in their volunteers in the college entrance examination. First, they list the voluntary schools they want to apply for most, and then settle for the second best. However, when choosing a job, I have a little fever. Ning Gao is not low, and it is a famous multinational company. Mr. Wang warned the newly graduated college students: "You can imitate Gates, but you are not Gates after all. He found his own way-giving up his studies to go into business, and he became the richest man in the world; You may not be able to do it. "

Suggestion 3: How to spend the adaptation period of "acclimatization"

The most talked-about topic between new college students and old classmates is complaining about the work unit and how the existing job is not suitable for them. Mr. Wang vividly compares him to a man who has just learned to ride a bike. If a person has not learned to ride a bike, he will wrestle no matter what kind of car he is given, because he has not mastered the skills of riding a bike. Because it takes a certain "adaptation period" from a familiar school environment to a strange working environment. Not only that, employers are also demanding new people with the standards that require employees. For newcomers, the pressure is naturally not small. But you shouldn't just look at negative things. Imagine who made the newly graduated college students achieve a zero breakthrough in their work experience. In fact, it was the first employer who made him complain constantly. Therefore, you should be grateful to the first unit that accepted you.

Advice 4: professional fashion can't be chased.

Dressing is fashion, so is choosing a job. Which industry is hot, drill which industry. However, whenever it is hot, it will be cold, and the hot industry will be cold. Many people are rushing to enter the IT industry and are unwilling to enter the traditional industry. I don't know that developed countries like the United States have not given up developing traditional industries and only focused on it, and many people have joined traditional industries. Giving up one's major and changing careers is tantamount to cutting off one's own advantages. When personal professional restrictions can't immediately enter the hot industry, it is best to tailor the profession. According to Mr. Wang, there are several electromechanical engineers in the company. They did not give up what they had learned and blindly followed the trend, but based on their majors and studied in a down-to-earth manner. At present, these people have not only accumulated rich professional experience, but also greatly improved their computer application level and English level. They became the rare technical backbone of the company and were sent abroad for management training. Therefore, Mr. Wang suggested that all college graduates who have just left school should only take job hunting as the first step towards career success, fully realizing that career success is a long process, just like a marathon, and can't rely on temporary luck. The first runner is not necessarily the final winner. Because competition requires endurance and toughness. So is life.

■ Interview response of recent college graduates

1. What do you think of your summer job?

All employers are optimistic about fresh graduates with work experience, no matter what kind of work they have participated in. The person in charge of an employment service agency said:' People who have worked in school are easy to get along with. They will arrange their time better, be more pragmatic, be more mature and have more languages with us. So when you answer, you should add the following words: enterprises should create profits, individuals should work more efficiently, abide by rules and regulations, and do their best to complete the work. In short, no matter how insignificant your summer job is, you should regard it as a working experience in an enterprise.

As far as specific questions are concerned, the examiner's question is to ideally reflect your initiative, creativity and flexibility. For example, you can say,' It's not easy to find a summer job in my hometown, but I applied for a reception job in every restaurant, called the manager of each restaurant to make an appointment for an interview, and finally got a job in the most famous restaurant. I worked in the afternoon shift first, but later, because I was fast and accurate and the service level was satisfactory, they quickly transferred me to the evening shift. I worked there for three summers. When I left, I was responsible for training, managing night attendants, giving tips and closing accounts at night. In a word, my experience has made me understand small enterprises and some mechanisms of * * * in enterprises.

2. How do you plan your future career?

This is an interesting version of the following question:' What position do you hope to achieve in the next five years? Almost all junior professionals will fall into this trap and answer' management' because they think it can show their ambitions. This is an old answer, which will immediately lead to a series of questions that most fresh graduates can't answer:: What is the definition of management? What are the basic duties of a manager? What field do you want to be a manager? The safest answer should first explain the professional direction you want to develop or forge ahead, and show your down-to-earth work attitude. My career planning is enterprising, and what I do must be where my energy and professional knowledge can be integrated into my industry and work unit. Therefore, in the next few years, I hope to become an expert professional and clearly understand my company, industry, the biggest challenges and opportunities. By then, my future development goals should be clearly revealed. This kind of response will make you far above your peers.

3. Are you willing to do routine work?

Another problem of "luring confessions". Examiners have learned from past painful experiences that newly graduated college students are hopeless employees who are unwilling to do routine work, and will not change until they accept this fact in real life. You have to explain to the other party that you understand that someone needs to do routine work, and you know that you have to complete a certain amount of routine work before you are ordered to complete more responsible work, which is why you are prepared to accept this necessary work. As long as it is during normal working hours, you can answer:' OK, no problem, enterprises have to produce benefits, so they must open their doors during normal business hours and be attended.'

Do you want to find a permanent or temporary job?

The examiner wants to make sure that you are really interested in this job, instead of going to school for postdoctoral research after working for a few months. Don't just say "yes". Explain clearly why you are looking for this job. You can say,' Sure, I want to find a long-term job. I want to develop my career in this field, look for opportunities to learn business, seek new challenges and learn from experienced professionals. After you answer, ask the other person to confirm his question:' Is the position you want to recruit permanent or temporary? Don't be afraid to ask. Occasionally, some unscrupulous employers will hire some novices to participate in a project for a short time, and then dismiss them after completion.

5. Do you feel uncomfortable or hurt when you are instructed by others?

This is a compliance issue. If your mistake is pointed out by others, you will easily contradict or get angry, so you won't stay in the company for long. The competition for entry-level positions is fierce, which is another opportunity for you to show yourself different. I will accept other people's opinions, and more importantly, I can accept constructive criticism without conflict. Even if I try my best subjectively, I will still make mistakes and need others to lead me back to the right direction. I understand that if you want to develop in the company, you must first prove that you obey the management.

6. What kind of position are you interested in?

This is another question to test your obedience. Don't answer directly, but show that you obey the arrangement:' I am interested in these junior positions, from which I can learn about the business inside and outside the company and give me opportunities for development. After I have proved my strength, I can develop along the professional direction or management direction. Note: This section mainly refers to "One Hammer Makes a Good Sound-A Guide to Successful Application"

7. What do you think of the operation of the enterprise?

The examiner doesn't want to have a long talk with you about this, just want to make sure that you don't imagine the enterprise as a charity. Your understanding should be:' The role of any company is to make as much money as possible, make money as quickly and efficiently as possible, and its operation mode should be to encourage old customers to do business again and develop new customers with excellent reputation and credibility. At the end of the answer, it should be noted that employees, as members of the team, play a role in the process of achieving this goal. 8. Do you think that as the first company you apply for, you should consider your grades at school?

If your score is high, the answer' yes' is obvious; If your score is not high, you have to think more about it:' Of course, the employer should consider it comprehensively, depending on the score, and also examine the applicant's enthusiasm and obedience, understanding of business development and practical work experience. Generally speaking, experience and professional skills are more valuable than scores.
