Foreign HR rambles on interview skills

In Europe, many multinational companies and groups entrust well-known consulting companies or recruitment offices to recruit employees from the society. In the eyes of business owners, although this recruitment method is expensive, it is professional, authoritative and fair, which is a reliable way. Recently, Mr. Wells, an expert in the recruitment office in Houston, Belgium, put forward a series of reference suggestions on how to improve the chances of success of candidates.

Don't list your education one by one.

Mr. Wells said that job seekers should first understand what career suits them best, as well as their interests and advantages. Then you should browse and collect a large number of enterprise articles related to your major, and be good at mining potential information from media reports, because the reorganization and relocation of an enterprise may mean recruitment opportunities. Once the goal is determined, you should contact the relevant enterprises directly by email or even telephone.

Job seekers must first have a resume and a cover letter. Mr. Wells thinks that one or two pages is enough to "sell" his resume, and lengthy resumes are usually put aside by recruiters. Avoid typos and other words in your resume; We should highlight our abilities. But don't list the academic qualifications that have passed for a long time, you can highlight the famous professors who have served in important institutions or studied under teachers.

Resume should not be flashy and embellished with any patterns, so as not to be rejected as a virus by enterprise servers. When submitting your resume, attach a short cover letter outlining your goals and aspirations, and then briefly describe your experience and abilities. Don't send the same cover letter to many enterprises at the same time, otherwise it will be ignored.

When applying for a company, you should read the company website repeatedly in advance and pay attention to their words and expressions. If the words "challenge" and "competition" appear many times, job seekers may wish to explain in their letters that they like "challenge" and are not afraid of "competition".

Shoes are very important in an interview.

Mr. Wells said, "We pay great attention to observing the behavior of candidates. When the candidate comes to the room, I will pay attention to whether he will sit down when I ask him to sit down. "

Many job seekers don't know that recruiters pay special attention to clothing. Everyone knows that you can't wear flowered shirts and socks to the interview. Although the suit and tie look a little serious, it is still the best clothes.

Shoes are very important. For many recruiters, shoes reflect a person's personality. If you wear the upper of leather shoes, you will be considered as a person who is not neat and informal; If leather shoes are too fashionable, they will be considered conspicuous, which is not conducive to job hunting in banks and consultants who need to look solemn. In addition, the color of socks should match the color of shoes, not the color of suits.

In addition, some companies will ask candidates to answer a series of questions in front of the computer, sometimes as many as 70, to test their psychological quality, including the candidate's personality and self-motivation. If you don't answer the question for more than 15 minutes, you may be considered as an indecisive person.

Although the degree of informatization has been generally high, there are still companies that let candidates write a letter in person. Siemens' company in Belgium is used to this method. They hope to further observe the internal qualities of the candidates from their handwriting. So you should keep your personal style and never ignore your handwriting, otherwise people will see the flaws. Finally, signature is very important, it represents a person's image in front of others.
