Etiquette and Etiquette in Job Interview ―― The Cornerstone of Success in Job Interview

Etiquette involves appearance, dress, communication, language and so on. Some manners are nothing more than a few details, such as a thank you, an apology, a smile, a little effort and so on. This unremarkable performance seems harmless, but it often determines the success or failure of things and careers and becomes a magic weapon for us to stand in the world. This paper mainly expounds the necessity of strengthening etiquette cultivation for secondary vocational school students in job interviews.

Keywords etiquette, the importance of job interview

Secondary vocational schools cultivate high-quality skilled talents that meet the market demand, so there is an idea in the minds of a considerable number of students: as long as they have solid professional knowledge and excellent practical skills, they can find an ideal job and then achieve their life goals, but the details-etiquette are often ignored in the process of achieving their goals.

First, the importance of etiquette in job interviews for secondary vocational students

Through interviews with employers, we know that all units attach equal importance to ability and literacy in the recruitment process. And basic etiquette is an important part of moral cultivation. Especially affected by the financial crisis, the employment situation of college students is very severe. They can all lower their status and start from the grassroots level to become strong competitors for secondary vocational students. Therefore, in order to win in such fierce competition, we must start from the details, do a good job in every subtle residence, and make etiquette the cornerstone of the success of job interviews for secondary vocational students.

In recent years, both civil service examinations and interviews in enterprises and institutions have increased the investigation of candidates' common sense of etiquette. For example, in the interview process, a unit does not start from the moment the interviewer enters the interview room, but from the moment the interviewer enters the company door. Xiao Li, a student from a secondary vocational school, happened to go for an interview. When he came in, he was chewing gum and looking around. He walked around and looked at it. When he was about to arrive at the door of the interview room, he threw up his chewing gum ... The examiner had arranged for someone to see this series of processes clearly, so before Xiao Li could speak, the interviewer said, "Put down your resume and you can go back and wait for the news."

From the case, we can clearly see that interview, in many cases, is the most direct "hand-to-hand" with the interviewer. Therefore, the interviewer can have a panoramic view of every move, word and deed of the job seeker. No matter how excellent the professional skills of job seekers are, how can they display their talents if they don't even have a basic interview opportunity? Therefore, interview etiquette is the most important link. Etiquette is the external expression of personal quality and the magic weapon to win an interview. Interview etiquette is composed of many small links. If you know little about etiquette, or ignore the function of etiquette, then a small link will be eliminated.

Second, the etiquette that should be paid attention to in the interview

Dress, manners, temperament, manners and other details are affecting your image and determining your future and destiny. Because of politeness, the interview got a chance. On the other hand, if you don't pay attention to etiquette, you will have a good chance, and the interview will fail, leading to a lifetime opportunity.

1. Establish a good first image.

First, punctuality. During the interview, it is best to arrive at the interview site 10 ~ 15 minutes in advance, so as to get familiar with the environment and stabilize the mentality. If you are late for the interview, no matter what reason you have, it will be considered as a lack of self-management and restraint, that is, a lack of professional ability, which will leave a very bad impression on the interviewer. Moreover, interviews in large units often have to arrange many people at a time. If you are a little late, you will probably miss this unit forever.

If the interview location is far away and the geographical location is complicated, you may wish to run first, be familiar with the traffic lines and terrain, and know the time needed on the road so as not to delay the interview.

Second, dress appropriately and generously. During the interview, you must dress succinctly, neatly and cleanly, and don't wear heavy makeup, jingle jewelry, sloppy hair, dirty clothes, etc.

Third, keep good manners. Pay attention to your words and deeds after entering the gate of the unit. First of all, you should explain your purpose to the receptionist. At this time, you must use civilized language: "Hello!" "Thank you!" Wait a minute. Remember to put away your chewing gum and cigarettes when you ask questions.

Be sure to keep quiet and sit upright while waiting for the interview. Don't walk back and forth and seem impetuous, and don't chat with other interviewers, because the influence of your conversation on your surroundings is beyond your control, which may lead to your failure in applying for the job. Don't stop to watch the work of other staff members, and don't express opinions or comments on the contents discussed or answered by staff members after taking a seat, so as not to give people the impression of being superficial and speaking quickly.

2. Win the favor of the interviewer

First of all, admission etiquette is very important. If no one informs you, even if the person in front has finished the interview, you should wait patiently outside the door and don't walk into the interview room without authorization. When you hear someone calling your name, knock on the door and go in. It is more standard to knock two or three times when knocking at the door. Don't knock too hard. You can't enter the room until you hear it say "Come in". Open and close the door as lightly as possible. Don't close the door with the back of your hand after entering the door. Turn to face the door and close the door gently with your hand. Turn around, lean forward about 30 degrees, bow to the interviewer, greet with a smile, be polite and generous, and don't be too diligent, cautious or too humble.

Second, pay attention to listening. The premise of learning to observe and speak is to learn to listen first. "Listening" is a very important etiquette in the interview process. If you don't listen, you can't answer the examiner's questions well. A good conversation is based on "listening", and listening is to show interest in what the other party is saying.

Don't just talk about yourself in the process of talking to the examiner. For example, I talked about everything, such as my talent, my specialty and my requirements, but I didn't talk about the recruitment company of the other party and the examiner sitting in front of me. This is a mistake. At the same time, we should also pay attention to observe whether the other party is interested in what they are talking about, whether they are relevant, and whether they should change the topic and content in time.

Third, be honest and frank. "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing". In the interview, when you encounter questions that you don't understand, understand or know, you should sincerely and frankly admit your shortcomings. Calm and relative can leave a good impression of honesty and frankness.

Fourth, the expression is kind and the gestures are appropriate. Smile at the interview, be kind, modest and pious, and answer questions. Smiling will enhance communication with the interviewer, improve your image and improve your relationship with the interviewer.

Nodding your head when listening to the other person shows that you understand or are paying attention. But don't be dull, coy and short. Don't make too many small moves, and don't scratch your ears and cover your mouth, which will make you nervous and distracted.

3. Etiquette at the end of the interview can not be ignored.

Many job seekers believe that the examiner said the interview was over. As a matter of fact, the interview has ended and the application has not been completed.

Be sure to say "thank you" and "sorry" before you leave, and you can't ignore the details of going out and the door of the unit. In order to deepen the impression on the recruiter and increase the possibility of success in job hunting, job seekers can write a letter to the recruiter to express their gratitude within two or three days after the interview. Thank-you notes should be concise. At the beginning of the letter, you should mention your name, brief information and interview time, and thank the recruiter. The middle part of the thank-you letter should reiterate your interest in the company and the position you applied for. At the end of the letter, you can express your confidence in yourself and your determination to contribute to the development of the company.

If you don't receive any reply within two weeks, you can call the examiner and ask him, "Have you made a decision?" This phone can show your interest and enthusiasm. You can also hear from his tone whether you have hope. ...

As the saying goes, "it's not surprising to be polite to many people." Strengthening personal etiquette cultivation and paying attention to etiquette everywhere can enrich people's connotation and increase people's "gold content", thus improving the internal strength of their own quality, allowing you to respect others and win their respect for you, thus increasing the chances of success in the interview.
