Five cases of unfamiliar interview

□ Wan 25-year-old consultant

The interview that impressed me the most was the interview of this famous consulting company that hired me now. I applied for the position of consultant. After hard work all the way, I finally won the opportunity of face-to-face communication with the top managers of the company, which is the last stage of the interview. I heard that I want to do a case.

The examiner is very kind and asks professional questions. My case is to simulate opening a windshield factory. To choose the best place in China, I can ask the examiner questions at will until I get the analysis results. I first chose two familiar cities, Shanghai and Shenzhen, which may meet the site selection requirements, and wanted to choose between them. Further consulting the examiner, his answers are ambiguous. For example, I asked, "Which windshield sells the most in Shanghai or Shenzhen?" He will answer, "the same." Many people don't know what to ask after hearing this answer, but I thought about it and continued to ask in detail: "What are the sales of high-end cars and low-end cars in these two cities?" He is still vague. Well, I'll look at it from another angle and keep digging. This kind of question and answer tests my psychological endurance, adaptability, exercise strength, logical analysis ability and so on. As long as you are hesitant and nervous, you will fall into the eye of the examiner. Of course, the requirements for examiners are also very high.

At the end of this interview, I sighed deeply. Really like the master in Jin Yong's novels. Without swords and swords, we are all fighting for internal strength.

The interview was conducted at a dinner party.

□ Miss Xu, 26 years old, company employee.

I went to the interview with trepidation that day, but the whole interview site was very relaxed. All our applicants are sitting around a big round table. The examiner sat still and didn't say a word. Other staff members were responsible for distributing all kinds of snacks to us, plus a very simple questionnaire, which might be considered as a written test. Because the candidates are all fresh graduates, we eat, drink and chat. There is no interview atmosphere at all, more like a reunion. When I finished the questionnaire, the examiner told me that I could go home and wait for the notice, and I realized that I had something to eat with the person next to me just now, and whispering with others might be part of the interview, which was recorded by the examiner's discerning eyes. As a result, I waited for a week and received a refusal letter from this company in the mailbox.

Until now, I still think this interview is a bit strange. It is always a mystery what kind of eyes the examiner uses to observe us and what kind of standards to judge us, so I am particularly impressed.

Let me introduce my parents in English.

□ Shen Jing 24-year-old graduate student

I was interviewed by a Japanese company, which really made me angry and funny. The interview procedure of the company must first make a written test paper. I don't know what they will take in the exam. I guess it always has something to do with the professional problems of the job I applied for. For the last time, I learned by rote and took out my past professional textbooks to "review the old and learn the new". I was dumbfounded at the moment I got the test paper. It was an English psychology test paper. I have done psychological tests, but I haven't read the English version, which is usually used for recreation when I am bored. I never thought they would appear on such a formal occasion. I really don't know whether the company will test our English level, our mental health, or both.

I finished the test by feeling, but actually I passed. Next, I have to see the examiner. We were interviewed in pairs. The examiner is Japanese. Because Chinese is not good, there is an interpreter between us and the examiner. He always smiles like a salesman, watching us ask questions. First, he asked us to introduce our parents in English. Suddenly, I froze. A person like me who has memorized his self-introduction immediately got stage fright and thought he had expected it, so he simply turned his self-introduction into a parent profile. Then we will play a play together. He plays an unconvincing customer, and I play a company worker to persuade him to cooperate with my work.

Because this company frequently makes strange moves, and when I get nervous, I lose my ability to cope. Obviously, my performance is not very satisfactory, and I have never received any notice from this company again.

Up to three hours

□ Li Jing, 24 years old, fresh graduate.

Some time ago, I participated in an interview with a company for three hours. For such a long time, I have seen various forms of interviews, and I am also in the top three.

On the day of the interview, six students from different universities and majors were assigned to a group, which was a communication process from the beginning. Two people introduce each other in English and introduce each other to everyone in three minutes. This link can not only show English level, but also judge communication ability. Then the topic statement, just like the oral English test, takes a topic to prepare for three minutes, and then gives a lecture. Some topics are interesting, "If you can invent something, what will you invent", while others are related to work, "Would you like to do a job that requires frequent business trips?".

Then take a break for ten minutes, and let's have some snacks and chat together. It was good to interview our supervisor, so the atmosphere was relaxed and happy. Then we started the case analysis in the second half. On the premise of not affecting the evaluation score, we choose to use Chinese, and the discussion time is 40 minutes. I have done my homework for this, and I know that I should not be too ostentatious and keep my mouth shut in this discussion, so I always give full consideration to giving my own "opinions".

Finally, there are composition writing and the most traditional one-on-one interview. This interview is more routine, and I will ask some questions according to my resume. In this whole interview, there is both teamwork spirit and individual play. Although it lasted for three hours, it was strange and not nervous at all.

Foreign director, praise me for me.

□ Li Fang 25-year-old salesman

When I was looking for a job after graduation, I also submitted my resume to take the written test, and then my greatest wish was to have an interview opportunity, hoping to become a "face bully". Many students said that I was a "cow" and I won an "olive branch" from a well-known foreign company with my liberal arts major. That was my first interview. This interview opportunity was obtained after I took their written test for one day. It can be said that it was hard-won, so I specially bought a suit as an outfit, which cost almost 1000 yuan. I was so distressed.

In the first interview, the interviewer asked me why I came to work in their company as a liberal arts student. I talked about my own advantages, saying that the imagination and emotion of liberal arts students can bring vitality to the design and promotion of products, and then interrupted Plato's famous saying, which made the engineering interviewer stunned and nodded frequently. This may be the reason for my last interview with them.

In the last round, I interviewed three people, one of whom was a foreign director. Although I could choose Chinese to tell this story, I challenged myself and chose English. I was very nervous at that time. After the foreigner's bright smile, I became a little relaxed. The experience I got from this interview is that I must tell my true story and never make it up, because all interviewers have the ability to get to the bottom of it. They will ask countless details and a lot of follow-up results. If they make it up, they will definitely give away the clues.

At the end of the interview, I had a very "oolong" misunderstanding. The foreign director made a concluding speech and praised my rich internship experience. He spared no effort to praise my excellent performance in this interview, which embarrassed me and repeatedly said "thank you". I thought he wanted me on the spot. I didn't expect his next sentence to make me almost faint. "This is a difficult decision. We will seriously consider it. Please wait for the news. "

I need to say something to you.

I thought that the more I went to a high-level interview, the less I would ask basic questions. I didn't expect to go to a company for an interview last time. In the last round, the German boss asked me to draw according to the principles of economics. I was going to give a speech. I was suddenly fooled by him. -Jimmy

When I was interviewed by a company, I made a case in the form of group discussion. One of my classmates expressed it very well. He said a lot. I feel ashamed of his comparison, but I didn't see the other side of him. Later, I worked in the human resources department myself, and I wouldn't consider this type of person when I presided over the interview, because I still had to pay attention to teamwork. Ding Jian

● I saw a real case in a book about a foreign company recruiting pharmaceutical sales. In the middle of the interview at noon, the candidate was invited to eat a box lunch. Because the box lunch is not delicious, many people pick and choose a lot left. Of course, some people eat lunch boxes neatly, and these people are naturally accepted on the grounds that they can bear hardships. I think the interview of this company is in place. Through the intuitive test, we can find out who has the hard potential to do sales. -Zhang Liqun

Six months ago, my classmates and I went to a company to apply for a security officer. After answering a number of questions, the examiner sent us a test paper with the title: Suppose there is a fire in a construction site, with flammable materials piled on one side and a valuable material warehouse on the other, and time only allows you to save one of them, what should you do? At that time, I chose to rescue flammable materials almost without thinking, while Xiao chose to rescue precious materials. As a result, Xiao Ah and I were both "humiliated" in Sun Shan, and a little girl was admitted. Her answer is to "put out the fire" first. -Mo Zifei

Show your true style

At present, the recruitment units frequently show the problem of "clearing the field" and the form of "out of line" in order to break through the traditional concept of "interview" in the minds of candidates. Give you a surprise, peel off the disguise hidden in the form as much as possible, and try to be yourself.

In the interview, some people who were hit by strange interviews have changed, and they can't help but sigh: "If I had known they were going to do this, I would have done it long ago, and I am here today." But I wonder if they have ever thought that the so-called job search is a two-way choice process. There is no best job, only the one that suits you best. If you disguise yourself as an introvert in order to get a position that requires a cheerful personality, do you feel that you are not suitable for working in the position you are eager for today?

Then, why hold the "face book" all day long, and transform yourself with standard answers in order to win a job? Facing the examiner, you might as well show your true style. Just like the law of love, don't deliberately change yourself to please him or her. She or he loves the real you.
