Do you speak French in Italy?

Xiaoman is an undergraduate graduate of Anhui University. Since the second half of last year, she has encountered... I've been to some weird interviews. There was one time when the quality of the interviewer was really unflattering, "I have had the experience of being troubled by embarrassing questions from interviewers several times. One time I was applying for a job in a Hong Kong company. During the interview, the HR asked me seriously what my zodiac sign was. I told the truth. After answering, HR asked me what my blood type was. What is the necessary connection between a person's zodiac sign and blood type and work ability? On the surface, I didn't show any doubts or dissatisfaction, but in my heart I was very dissatisfied, and I had no confidence in this company. I was very shaken.”

Another time, Xiaoman and several classmates applied for a job at a trading company at a talent exchange meeting. The female HR who was collecting resumes on the spot heard that a male classmate had a driving license and actually said: "Our company is short of a driver, how about you do it?" After she learned that I knew French, she asked a very outrageous question: "Do you know if French is spoken in Italy?" This question made me dumbfounded and I didn't know how to answer it.

Just a handyman

Xiao Zhao also told us about his interview experience: "Once I went to a company for a re-examination, and the boss was a 45-year-old A lady of about ten years old. I arrived ten minutes earlier than the appointment time, and my boss arrived almost an hour later than the appointment time. This is understandable, after all, they are not as free as me. When I entered the office, the lady waved my hand and asked me to sit down. I opened my resume website on Youresume.com and browsed it for about a minute. Let me introduce myself first. I analyzed my professional and work experience advantages together with the development direction of this position introduced by the Human Resources Department during the interview. , explaining that I am suitable and adaptable to this position. But before I finished the introduction, she interrupted me and said that I had a wrong understanding of the development direction of this position, and she only wanted a handyman. I was stunned at that time. , I weakly said that the development direction of this position was revealed to me by the Human Resources Department, and the lady confirmed it again and again. Okay, but after finally coming here, I was still a little unwilling, so I asked about this of your company. Isn’t there room for improvement in this position? People impatiently said that I only want to be a handyman, and I don’t have the time and patience to train for promotion. Do you really want to continue the interview? I’ve already talked about this, I can only I'm sorry to say that, I misunderstood and left."

Appointed for an interview without looking at the resume

Last week, a classmate from Shenzhen Vocational College also told us something strange about him. Interview experience. He received an interview invitation for a store sales job. The interviewer informed him that the interview would be at 10 a.m., but he waited until 11:30 until it was his turn. The first thing he said after entering the room was that the interviewer only gave him five minutes! "I just introduced myself, and it didn't last more than 1 minute." Xiao Ma said excitedly: "The interviewer interrupted me and said I had no experience. Again They asked me about my academic qualifications, and they told me that all their current store clerks have bachelor's degrees! They said that the schools are all serious. I said that although I am a junior college graduate, our school recruits from a serious college, and the recruitment information also said that there is a college degree or above. Then the other party repeatedly said that I have no experience, insufficient academic qualifications, etc., and mentioned such a lot of problems that can be reflected in my resume. If I don't meet the requirements, why should I be notified for an interview?"

First row 2 classmates, you have been admitted

In the era of Weibo, "micro-recruitment" has gradually become popular. Mr. Zhu received several interviews through "micro-recruitment". He not only gave a brief introduction to himself in more than 100 words, but also attached a resume URL he created on Youresume.com. Because he feels that more than 100 words on Weibo cannot express himself, so attaching his resume URL in the description can allow the employer to better understand himself. But the interview experience that Zhu encountered was also very strange.

"The interview was in a large classroom, and there were many people here, but after entering the classroom, the students all chose to sit in the back row far away from the podium, and then started chatting with the classmates next to them or the classmates who came with them. "Xiao Zhu recalled: "The front row was empty at this time, and for Xiao Zhu who usually likes to sit in the first row to listen to lectures, it is a challenge to be brave enough to sit in the first row on such an occasion. But he still decided to sit in the first row. The reason was simple: so that I could hear the questions asked by the interview teacher more clearly. At this time, there were two extremes in the classroom. It wasn’t until the third row that students began to sit and it was not full. Just as everyone was whispering and some even complained about why so many people were being interviewed together, the interviewer came in and said directly to the two students in the first row, you are not allowed to sit. Admitted..." Bizarre interview experience that fresh graduates complained about 2

Bizarre interview experience that shocked people

1. Interview faster than the speed of light

The headhunter recommended a HRD position in a group company to my friend Xiao A. The group has about 1,000 employees and has its own R&D centers in Beijing and Shenzhen. When the headhunter communicated with Xiao A, he did not inform Xiao A that the HRD position required traveling for half a month.

When Little A drove for more than an hour to the interview location and contacted the boss of the group, he thought that a pleasant interview had begun, but unexpectedly, the boss’s first sentence asked: "Can I Do you accept business trips? ”

“If the frequency is not high, once or twice a month is acceptable,” Xiao A replied.

"One month and half a month on business trip!" The boss responded decisively.

"That may not be appropriate because the child at home is only three years old and cannot travel frequently." Little A sincerely explained her actual situation to her boss.

"Then I have no questions. Do you have anything else you want to ask?" The boss looked disdainful and wanted to end the interview at the speed of light.

Little A was very surprised, but she still had to pretend to be calm. Who knows that she is an HR person? She is also a veteran in workplace interviews who has interviewed countless people.

"Is that so? The headhunter should have made it clear to me in advance, so I don't have to go all the way in vain." Faced with such an impatient interviewer, Little A was not afraid, "That's it. Well, there is nothing you want to know, bye!" Little A then walked out of the interview conference room gracefully.

Now that the applicants are here and recommended by headhunters, can the interviewers be a little more patient and spend some time chatting with the applicants? Without chatting, how would you know that the candidate sitting in front of you is definitely not the Chollima you want? Are there really bosses who are so powerful that they can read minds and know whether a candidate is a good fit just by looking at them? Taking the time to communicate with the candidate is the minimum respect you need, not to mention that you are the boss of this company.

2. The interviewer who is superior and looks down on the candidate

Another HR shared another weird interview experience with me: it was also recommended by a headhunter For the HRD position, the recommended company has been established for about 10 years, has a staff size of about 2,000, and has about 20 HR personnel.

The interviewer asked: "I want to tear down and rebuild the company's human resources system. What suggestions do you have?"

"What aspects of the company's current human resources work are you dissatisfied with? Or what problems do you think there are in human resources work?” Candidates want to know.

"I am not satisfied with the company's entire human resources system, nor are I satisfied with the more than 20 HRs," the interviewer said lightly, with a hint of challenge in his expression.

"Then we need to have a detailed understanding of the current level of human resources work, what problems exist, what aspects do not match the company's requirements, business development, etc., in order to answer your question." Candidate People expressed their thoughts.

This problem is settled in this way.

Next, the interviewer said: "The company you are working for is too small, and there is not much visibility in the industry. It may not be suitable for our company." The interviewer directly showed his cards and expressed his rejection with a very confident tone. A gesture of superiority.

After listening to this story, I felt that the interviewer was not really looking for someone, but more like he was trying to make things difficult for people.

Should the interviewer first put down his attitude and have a communication based on equal status with the candidate? Even if the interviewer is a well-known boss of the company.

3. The candidate communicated with the subordinates of the position he applied for first and was eliminated

Some HR friends told me that when I went to some companies for interviews, the people I talked to were actually the ones I was talking about. Of course, this is not a big problem for subordinates (recruitment supervisors/specialists) applying for positions. The big problem is that after chatting with the subordinates, the interview ends and there is no chance to enter the next round. Obviously subordinates played a central role in this, and it was a negative role.

The recruitment specialist will introduce the company to the candidates and the basic information of the position is acceptable. But it is not appropriate for a recruitment specialist to select your future boss.

From the arrangement of the interview process, candidates can easily judge how much the company attaches importance to this position and talents, and can taste the "flavor" of the company and whether they like it.

4. Hope to recruit a perfect superman

An HR friend said that the boss of the company is a perfectionist. Recently, he wanted to recruit an HRD. After interviewing 8 people, he felt that none of them were suitable. There were also more than 20 resumes recommended by headhunters that were passed directly without being scheduled for interviews. The reasons for not feeling suitable and passing include: the candidate is too young; the company the candidate works for is not well-known in the industry; the business management model of the candidate's company is quite different from our company; the candidate is a woman...

It sounds like these reasons have little to do with the competency of this position, and it should be difficult to find a candidate who fully meets the requirements. The perfect Superman must exist, but is he really suitable for business?

With so many demands on candidates, how much can companies attract candidates? Therefore, during the interview process, you should appropriately adjust your standards, recruit the right people, and accept and tolerate their shortcomings.

5. The temporary substitute interviewer ended an interview

The appointed interview time was 13:00 in the afternoon, and candidate C (HRD candidate) arrived as scheduled. The recruiter said that the CEO was in a meeting and it was estimated that it would take 20 minutes to end. Candidate C didn't mind and continued to wait. When 20 minutes passed, the recruiter said that the CEO would have another half-hour meeting, but Little C continued to wait. Half an hour passed, and the CEO's meeting was still not over, so the recruiter invited the company's financial director to talk to Little C. The financial director really didn't understand HR!

"The company has no human resources foundation. What would you do if you came?" the financial director asked.

"Then I will first have in-depth communication with the company's leaders and heads of departments to understand the current status of the company's human resources, existing problems, and the leaders' expectations for human resources work," Xiao C replied .

"There is no need to communicate, and communication is useless. We have no ideas and don't know what to do," the financial director said.

Such closed-ended answers make it difficult to communicate during the interview. A substitute interviewer ended an interview.

Everyone’s time is important and deserves respect. The interviewer should be on time at the appointed time, and do not hire a temporary substitute interviewer for a formal interview.

If you really want to recruit people, and the people you want to recruit are core positions in the company, the interviewer must communicate with the candidate with his sincerity. Your attitude not only represents yourself, but also represents your company. Often your attitude towards talents also determines the height of your structure. Whether a candidate comes or not depends on a word, a look, or an interview arrangement.
