What are your hobbies?

Hobbies can reflect the personality, preferences, morality and mentality of job seekers, so as to understand the integrity of job seekers' personality structure and the richness of their lives.

If you have no hobbies and your spare time is monotonous, the personality structure of job seekers may be defective. On the contrary, a person with a colorful spare time life will get more pleasure and sense of accomplishment from life, thus playing an active and effective role in supporting his job, and the fatigue and pressure generated in his work can also be adjusted and alleviated in his spare time.

So, first, don't say that you don't have hobbies; Second, don't say vulgar and unpleasant hobbies, such as playing mahjong or playing games (unless the occupation is related to games); Third, don't really take it as a time to chat. Hobbies widely show that you are a person who loves life, but you are here for an interview, not to show that your life is colorful. I introduced n hobbies to the interviewer in one breath, and the interviewer can't judge the matching degree between you and the position you are applying for and the company culture. Therefore, make a choice statement, and like to say one or two or two or three. The criteria for selection are: matching with the position. For example, if you apply for a programmer, you can say that you love playing chess or Go, which shows that you are smart, analytical and logical. The interviewer will think that job seekers who are willing to study in their hobbies will also be helpful to their jobs.

seemingly random questions are actually hidden dangers. If you are skinny and seem to be weak, the interviewer asks you if you have any hobbies in sports. He doesn't want to find fans, but wants to know your work energy and vitality and health from the side.

How do you answer

To answer the interviewer's question, you need to pay attention to the following four points:

1. The answer is true and reliable

On the one hand, you should have a sense of presence and never forget that you are interviewing; On the other hand, we should focus on it, so that we have a basic idea to answer this topic. Some people love to use their brains to "create" hobbies to cater to the interviewer. As a result, they often slip into the trap carelessly. It's really impossible to fake, and it's really impossible to fake. When you start to introduce your hobbies, you should think that the interviewer may ask questions in depth. If you can't answer, it's a lie. Once a lie is exposed, it will be ugly.

2. Avoid being too dangerous or too idle

Don't be too dangerous in hobbies. If you like exploring, take a trip to Tibet if you have nothing to do. Hiring an "explorer", once there is an unexpected situation, even during the company's non-operating hours, needs to be solved, and human and financial losses are heavy. For the company, many hobbies of employees may become potential costs, and the interviewer will evaluate this risk.

A hobby that is too risky is an extreme. There is also a hobby that is too idle, such as keeping pets, birds, fish and flowers. The interviewer may label you as "no fighting spirit". You are a young man in your twenties, and you go to square dance every night. Do you really think your aunt will introduce your daughter to you?

3. Give the other person a positive association

Don't say that your hobby is listening to music at home, playing games online and reading novels. This is a standard otaku, which will make the interviewer feel that the candidate is withdrawn and unsociable. If you say that you have practiced calligraphy since you were a child, and you still often participate in various calligraphy competitions until now, the interviewer will be in awe of your perseverance and cultivation of calligraphy art.

You'd better do your homework before the interview to learn about the company's culture. If it advocates wolf, you can say that you like playing basketball and bullfighting, which just caters to the interviewer's taste. You can use some outdoor activities to "embellish" your cheerful, energetic and nature-loving image. For example, you like long-distance running, and now you still insist on morning exercises and your grades are better, which will make the interviewer think that you have perseverance, endurance and strong sense of competition.

4. Don't be a hobby.

If you go too far in everything, you should also have a hobby. When you talk about hobbies with the interviewer, remember to talk about moderation, and you can't talk about hobbies as hobbies. For example, to apply for a sales position, you can tell the interviewer that you like to drink and talk about the wine culture in China, but you can't say that you can't drink every day. You have to have a red bull against Erguotou when you get up to eat a steamed stuffed bun in the morning, and Jianghu people call it "Xiaoer herding cattle". I once fell asleep for a day and a half after drinking too much, and was carried to the hospital to hang water in the early morning ... The interviewer directly thought you were a drunk madman, which was flawed. Hobbies and hobbies, a word difference, but in the interviewer's case, it is the difference between heaven and region!

furthermore, it is forbidden to praise your hobbies and belittle the interests outside your hobbies, which will give the interviewer the impression that you are too aggressive, intolerant and careless. You said you don't like swimming because you think the water in the swimming pool is dirty. Some people may have Hong Kong feet, some people will spit everywhere, and some people even pee in it secretly ... What if the interviewer happens to like swimming? If you don't die, you won't die

If a person knows the daily necessities after work, then he should be a domestic person, lacking interest and style, and it may be difficult to communicate. And people who pay too much attention to their spare time may be too fond of eating, drinking and having fun, and are suspected of doing nothing. Therefore, when answering such questions, we should be tepid, not only show our emotional appeal and self-cultivation, but also show our professionalism, and explain the actual situation on this principle.
