If you are looking for a job in Shanghai, you should pay special attention to this point. Because the roads in Shanghai are very winding, it is easy to be late because you cannot find a place.

When leaving, you should ask if you have anything else to ask. After receiving permission, you should stand up with a smile, say thank you and say goodbye.

Vague words and nonsense will lead to failure of the interview. Also be patient with repeated questions and don't show impatience.

Feet: Shaking, stretching forward, tilting, etc. nervously, not only artificially creates a tense atmosphere, but also appears absent-minded and quite impolite.

Back: hunched over, like a Liu Guoguo, how can the examiner have confidence in you?

Eyes: either panicked, or evasive, looking away when he should look straight Being hesitant and giving the impression of lacking self-confidence or hiding ulterior secrets can easily offend the examiner; in addition, if you stare at the examiner, it will inevitably give people a sense of oppression and lead to dissatisfaction.

Face: Either dull and rigid, or cold and lifeless, etc. How can such a zombie-like expression impress people? It needs to be changed quickly. A lively and attractive face is important.

OK: Some of your movements are helpless, flustered, obviously lacking in self-confidence, and some are slow to react and at a loss. Not only will you devalue yourself, but it would be strange if the examiner doesn't look down on you.
