Advanced interview skills

There are some books that teach interviews. They will advise you to remember the answers to the questions and practice. Sometimes this works, but many times HR doesn't play cards according to the cards. The human resources manager of the full-time recruitment network said that she often deliberately disturbed the thinking of candidates during interviews and asked seemingly irrelevant questions impromptu.

For example, when recruiting PR, she will ask, "What kind of drinks do you like to drink? If the company stipulates that you must drink the company's drinks within three years, will you? How to spend your spare time? Did you see Transformers? What do you think? " She examined the sensitivity, fashion sense and acceptance of new things and information that a marketer should have.

"All interviewers have only one purpose: to get the most information about you in the shortest time. Wang Er, former partner and human resources director of Xinhua Xinzheng Junce Management Consulting Co., said that she is all the students in Tsinghua, Peking University, China Renmin University and other universities, including the employment guidance consultant of MBA. Interview questioning is one of the very important training contents. " In fact, a series of questions that employers may ask can be distilled into five. "

Five major problems of enterprises-

Why did you come here?

What can you do for us?

What kind of person are you?

How are you different from those who compete for the same position?

Do you have any questions for me?

When it comes to individuals, you should ask yourself-

What exactly does this job do?

What skills do I have to meet the requirements of this job?

How do I work with these people?

Can I persuade them to choose me from multiple candidates?

What can I do in this company in the future?

Why did you come to our company?

Two senior students majoring in foreign languages, in the same school and class, applied for the position of assistant principal together.

A said, "I graduated from a university majoring in foreign languages. I am 22 years old, with an average score of 90 points, ranking first in my class. I am the president of the school's student union, organized many community activities, and was also the image ambassador of the school charity sale. My father is a director and has a wide network of contacts. My hobbies are swimming and reading. "

B said, "I have been paying attention to your company for a long time, and I know that your business is ... to be an assistant to the president, I must be good at English, so besides studying English hard at school, I also practice in a travel agency during the winter and summer vacations." I also know that the assistant to the president is good at writing, so I have been practicing writing and contributing to the school radio and magazines. At present, many articles have been published and foreign language documents have been translated for publishing houses. "

Maybe A looks excellent, but obviously B is more enthusiastic and attentive to the company and position.

2. What can you do for us?

Sometimes the interviewer will ask you, "What specialized courses did you study in college?" "Besides these, what else?" Many college students answered "I know C++", which is simply stupid. For the interviewer, what he asks is not what you know, but what you can do for the company.

If the answer is changed to "I can use C++ to help the company develop or improve the customer system to make retrieval easier" and "optimize the company management system to make the national data sharing update faster", it will be completely different.

3. What kind of person are you?

This is equivalent to asking: Do you know yourself? Are your values consistent with ours? "When I recruit you, you must know where I can use you." Yuan Yue said. This question will also appear in the form of "one thing you are most afraid of", "your least favorite working environment", "what kind of boss do you like best", "who do you admire most, and what influence does it have on you", "what are your strengths and weaknesses" and so on.

4. What's the difference between you and others competing for the same position?

Usually, this question will be masked with "What are your strengths" and "Why should I hire you". "Students often answer that I have good communication skills, teamwork spirit, interpersonal skills, organization and coordination skills ... This is meaningless because these differences between students are only a fraction of a millimeter. Because the position requires these abilities, all candidates who enter the interview have similar communication skills and teamwork spirit. This is not your advantage! " Wang Er said, "Tell me that others don't have it, only you do."

5. Do you have any questions for me?

Usually, many students ask questions about salary and training. In fact, this is not the best choice. The problems of recruiters have a chronological order, from the distant past to the recent, to the present and to the future.

This problem is a typical worry about the future. You should pay attention to the job itself, not what the company can offer you. So questions like "What is the biggest challenge of this job" and "What should I pay attention to if I am hired by the company to do this job" are all good questions.
