College students meet dinner interviews when they apply for jobs.

College students meet dinner interviews when they apply for jobs.

There is no need to panic if these phenomena appear in the workplace during college students' job interviews. Is there any way to solve this problem? Be confident in the interview. No matter what happens, first of all, believe in yourself, stay calm, and don't be confused because of nervousness. Let's share the coping methods of college students' job interviews.

Recently, Kobayashi and four other candidates participated in an interview for the post of secretary of an association in Yongjia.

To Xiaolin's excitement, he was hired because he thought his performance was not as good as others. The reason is actually related to a dinner party.

After the interview, the employer suddenly said that he would keep us for dinner, which surprised everyone. Xiaolin, who graduated from Wenzhou Medical College, said that he vaguely felt that the dinner was not as simple as expected. Fortunately, I often get together with friends, know the basic etiquette at the table, and master some basic methods to adjust the atmosphere at the table.

Kobayashi's performance left a deep impression on the person in charge of the unit, which made him stand out from five candidates of the same level. After dinner, when the person in charge of the unit mentioned that the dinner was also part of the interview, all four candidates were surprised except Xiao Lin.

Xiao Jiang, another candidate who graduated from Zhejiang Communications Vocational and Technical College, said that at that time, he did not expect that this dinner would be related to the interview results. I just came out of school and have no manners at all. Afterwards, Xiao Jiang was annoyed that he refused to drink at the dinner table.

"After the interview, we learned the general situation of the five candidates and found that their level was neck and neck. At that time, it was just near dinner time, so I had the idea of further examining candidates through dinner. " Ms. Jin, who is in charge of recruitment, said, "The secretary of the association recruited this time has to deal with many business owners. Therefore, it is particularly important for candidates to communicate and adjust the atmosphere at the dinner table. At the same time, we also hope to use the dinner to examine the ability of candidates to deal with interpersonal relationships. "

Subsequently, the reporter visited several universities in Chashan. Many college students expressed surprise at what happened to these five candidates. However, some students said that they had heard similar words from their seniors.

How do people in the industry view the experiences of the five candidates? The director of the Employment Office said that when recruiting talents in public relations, marketing and other positions, some units usually take the means of "setting a dinner party" to further examine the applicant's control of the scene, adjustment of the atmosphere, social skills, etc., and at the same time strengthen the feelings with future employees through the dinner party, which is understandable in itself. "Students should not be cautious when applying for similar situations, but show a generous and decent side." Setting up a dinner can only be used as an auxiliary means of interview. "It is very undesirable to decide whether to hire someone just based on the performance of the dinner party."

When applying for a job, college students were interviewed at a dinner party. After the two passes, Xiaohua (pseudonym), a 22-year-old senior girl, stood out from 600 competitors and stayed in the last seven. Unexpectedly, because of a glass of white wine, Xiaohua unfortunately missed a well-known communication company in China. Thinking of the company's ultimate interview, Xiaohua has been struggling recently. If you encounter a "meal sign" in the next recruitment, should 52-degree liquor be swallowed with your eyes closed?

force

She passed the written test and four interviews.

10 June 16, a well-known domestic communication company in Chengdu came to a university in Jiangnan, Chongqing for recruitment. Xiaohua, a senior majoring in software engineering, chose the position of sales manager of this enterprise.

Xiaohua didn't expect that there were about 400 competitors in our school alone, and 200 people from other schools came to "participate in the war". According to Xiaohua's memory, the test questions are mainly logical questions. After the first written test, there were hundreds of people left.

The next day, the enterprise held a "one-sided" discussion in the form of leaderless. The topic of Xiaohua's group discussion is: "If you are a train switch and see 9 children playing on the normal track, 1 child playing on the abandoned track, when a train whizzes past, will you pull down the ramp and let the train drive from the normal track to the abandoned track?" Xiaohua thinks that life is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low. Moreover, there are also potential safety hazards in diverting trains that are operating normally. Xiaohua was chosen as a spokesperson because of her clear-cut views and outstanding eloquence.

"One side" passed smoothly, and Xiaohua faced the challenge of "two sides". This time it was a situational test. At 1 1 that night, Xiaohua received a notice to join the enterprise "Trilateral".

Three Faces is a comprehensive interview. Two HR interviewers tested Xiaohua's adaptability and cooperation ability on the spot. Xiaohua, neither supercilious nor supercilious, was well received by the interviewer.

10 year 10 20th, the top management of the enterprise came to the school to meet the last seven students, two of whom were from other schools. "In all directions", because during Xiaohua University, I worked part-time in Jinke Real Estate, Chongqing Bank and other enterprises. The interviewer asked, "What are the characteristics of the products you sell? What model is it? Why do others want to buy yours? " Xiaohua responded one by one, just because it took a long time to forget the model of the product.

The ultimate interview met with a "meal sign"

There are three bottles of white wine on the table.

On the day of "all around", three interviewers informed seven students that they would go to a hotel for dinner at noon.

The waiter quickly served a rather rich dish and three bottles of white wine.

"Everybody lift your glasses!" When the interviewer asked everyone to raise their glasses, Xiaohua hesitated, because this glass of white wine was 52 strong liquor. Xiaohua's parents have always disapproved of girls drinking white wine, so Xiaohua has never drunk this kind of wine.

"I have never drunk white wine." Xiaohua tells everyone truthfully.

"Will you have a drink today?"

"I got gastritis in junior high school and can't drink white wine."

Seeing this, a female interviewer said sympathetically, "Well, have tea."

Xiaohua readily accepted. She didn't touch the glass during the whole dinner, but touched the glass with tea instead of wine.

The other six students are completely different from Xiaohua. Two of them, two girls, dried the liquor boldly, and four boys drank it from beginning to end until three bottles of liquor bottomed out.

During the dinner, some students showed their talents, and a girl from Northeast China and a boy sang "Duet". Xiaohua is also a bully among her classmates at ordinary times. She performed Faye Wong's classic song "I Do" live. As the "host", the boys ran all over the table, pouring wine for a while and telling jokes for a while.

After eating this lunch for two hours, Xiaohua didn't find anything wrong.

regret

Is it inappropriate not to drink?

Finally, it was declined.

Generally, after each interview, the company will call the result that night. On the evening of 20th, Xiaohua didn't get a call. The next day, she anxiously called to ask about the situation.

An interviewer in the human resources department told her euphemistically: "The sales manager of our company has to face many customers, so it is inevitable to drink liquor. Not drinking liquor may not be suitable for the work of our company. "

At this time, Xiaohua realized that the dinner the day before was a "meal sign" and another "threshold" for enterprises to choose.

Xiaohua won a national scholarship, worked as an intern in some enterprises from the first year of her freshman year, and had worked three part-time jobs in her junior year. "I was the only student who didn't drink. The reason was not very smooth at that time, which may be an important reason for being eliminated." Yesterday, Xiaohua told chongqing morning post reporter.

Of the six students who participated in the "Mi Qian" at that time, except one boy who went to bed at 2 am the night before attending the "Sifang" and was eliminated due to poor mental state, the other five students all got the opportunity to sign the contract.

It is understood that the other two girls who are qualified to sign the contract drank almost half a catty of white wine during the "rice sign", while Xiao Feng, who participated in the "rice sign" with Xiaohua, fell asleep directly in the dormitory that afternoon.

Roommate exclaimed: It's not worth hurting yourself for work.

Xiaohua suffered a "meal signing" drinking test, which became a hot topic in the dormitory these two days. Roommates are divided into two factions. Six girls in the same dormitory, three of whom felt Xiaohua was a little wronged. "It's not worth losing all the way for a glass of wine. This glass of wine is hard to drink. "

The roommates in the other school believe that people should have principles and girls should pay more attention to drinking. "It is not worth fighting for a job opportunity."

These days, Xiaohua is also reflecting on the gains and losses of this application: "This time, the rice sign is an experience. I studied software engineering, but my hobby is sales. I will be considerate when I meet the company's meal sign again in the future. Even if people's policies are loose, table manners and table culture should be considered. Next time I meet Mi Qian, I will drink white wine.

The teacher suggested that relaxing is more important than being able to drink.

Mr. Li, deputy director of the Employment Center of Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, believes that the current company recruits people and pays more and more attention to comprehensive quality; As far as the current relationship between Party A and Party B is concerned, it is understandable that the company chooses the people it thinks fit in its own way.

In his view, marketing, drinking a little wine or doing well at the dinner table are all added values. "Meal signing" is not only a matter of drinking, but also reflects the requirements for students' table manners.

In this process, students should have basic knowledge, not to say that they have to drink before they can join the job, but at least they should pay attention to some details in this process. For example, if a person can't drink at the dinner table, there must be a legitimate reason.

Faced with this situation, how should students face it calmly?

Teacher Li suggested:

First, if you can drink it, it is not impossible to drink it properly.

Second, if you really can't drink it, you can politely refuse it for other reasons.

Third, in the process of eating, drinking or not is not the only thing. If you do a good job in service, you still have your own advantages.

Teacher Li also stressed that if you are not hired by the company for this reason, you should believe two things:

First, the company is choosing people who are suitable for the company and fit in with the company culture and atmosphere.

Second, it does not mean that it is not good for students' future development. If they try to get in, they may feel uncomfortable.

Expert advice: Be careful when eating with candidates.

Ceng Hua, vice president of Chongqing Lianying Talent Co., Ltd., said that generally speaking, the way of arranging dinner to inspect job seekers is not widely adopted by enterprises, which also depends on what positions. Generally speaking, the administrative category involves outreach work, public relations, sales and other positions, and business entertainment needs to involve more positions. Enterprises can arrange such a dinner to inspect candidates.

Whether or not you can drink and how much you can drink are generally not necessarily the focus of the inspection (except for the positions where enterprises want to recruit special drinkers). The focus of the investigation is usually on language communication skills, whether the behavior in the dinner meets the needs of business entertainment, how to deal with all kinds of unforeseen situations, such as girls refusing to drink liquor, whether the refusal skills make the object feel comfortable, and whether there are effective ways to deal with the requirements of drinking liquor. Maybe she also overlooked some details of some enterprises hiring other students.

Ceng Hua made the following suggestions for candidates facing dinner inspection:

First of all, we should be clear about the job content of the position we are applying for, and maintain appropriate behavior and language consistent with the job content in the dinner, preferably not out of line.

Second, pay attention to etiquette and etiquette in business entertainment, and learn polite and decent refusal skills.

Third, in the face of the invitation of the dinner, we should be especially careful. General enterprises will not express this inspection method.
