Ten behaviors that are sure to be rejected in an interview.

Ten behaviors that are bound to be rejected in an interview

During the interview, because of "hard conditions" such as work experience and professional background, others can't compete, but everyone loses when the interview fails. But do you know that some behavioral details will be rejected by the interviewer once they appear in the interview? During the interview, you must be alert to the following ten kinds of misconduct!

Speak ill of your last job and complain about your last job.

Rejection index: 67%

@ Job seeker: Actually, I am afraid that the interviewer will ask me why I left my job. After all, it was really because of some bad things in the last company that the idea of job-hopping came into being. But some friends warned me not to speak ill of my family during the interview, and some friends told me not to lie during the interview. What should I do?

@HR: There is something wrong with the old club. At least the old club can survive. At least someone is making a profit for their old club. At least your old club taught you a lot of professional skills. Just because you can't see the goodness of your old club doesn't mean it's useless. God knows, if I hire you, you will tell us everything about our company after you leave.

@ Worry-Free Future: Never complain about how bad your previous company was and how hard it was on you during the interview. First of all, the interviewer is not related to you. Even if you tell the truth, the other party will be suspicious without verification. Secondly, complaining too much will make the interviewer have a "negative impression" on you, thinking that you will also say that their company is not good in front of other companies after you leave again. If it is really because the boss is too stingy to leave, you can put it another way, for example, "Because of the low income and living far away, it is very hard to run back and forth to the company at home. Don't consider changing jobs just because of your talent." For another example, "I hope to work near my home, so that I can be more energetic and efficient when I work, even if I want to study." This will make the interviewer feel that you are motivated.

I don't know the company/position I applied for.

Rejection index: 55%

@ Job-seeker: The job advertisement is vague, the number of jobs is "several" and the professional background is "relevant". After simply listing the job content, the "big killer" of "completing what the boss told me" is offered. Can I still be an Oracle, or become a business spy to learn more about your company? It's really strange!

@HR: Submitting your resume is a process of getting to know the company and position you are applying for through the introduction of this position. It is also a test of your past work experience and even your work ability, so as to determine whether you are suitable for the position you are applying for. This is also a kind of respect for yourself. If you don't even know the company you are applying for and the job requirements, you are irresponsible to yourself. I definitely don't want such a candidate!

@ Worry-Free Future: The company does not require the applicant to state the company's financial report for the latest quarter before joining the company, but at least it must be clear what professional field the applicant company is engaged in. This is not responsible for the company you apply for, but for your own future. Regarding the position you are applying for, whether before submitting your resume or before the interview, you should study it carefully, make clear your application advantages, write your resume according to the position requirements, and prepare interview questions and answers. For unclear questions, you might as well ask the interviewer boldly and sincerely around the position you are applying for at the "last question". It is definitely a plus for candidates to show interest in the company and position during the interview.

Answer irrelevant questions, answer irrelevant questions.

Rejection index: 49%

@ Job seeker: Sometimes HR will ask awkward questions, such as "Do you have a boyfriend?" . If I answer yes, HR will think that I may get married right away, and recruitment will increase the company's cost; If I answer no, maybe HR will feel that there is no family instability. Anyway, the answer is wrong, so I have to talk about him and play Tai Chi with HR.

@HR: It is obvious that a true and false question is objective and easy to answer, but you insist on concealing it and refuse to respond positively. This attitude makes me wonder if you are hiding something and refuse to tell the truth. Simple interview questions are irrelevant, only that there are problems in understanding, logical thinking and expression. Some people claim that this is the performance of their own thinking jump, but you have jumped to the point where you can't communicate with people normally. How can I entrust the work to you?

@ Worry-Free Future: Even if HR's questions make you feel embarrassed and in a dilemma, there is always his consideration of HR settings. It's best to answer truthfully according to your own situation, hiding and finally hitchhiking. Job interview is actually a two-way choice. If you really think this question is impolite and you are not so eager for the position you are applying for, you might as well be smart and show that you don't want to answer this question. You think you have touched your privacy, and you may be saved. Faced with a very simple question, there is absolutely no need to repeat it. What HR wants is a fresh and neat answer.

The interview dress style is terrible.

Rejection index: 27%

@ Job-seeker: It is hard to understand that some companies are ostensibly loose and free, but in essence they are rigid and traditional. I'm just looking for a job, not ideological education. Besides, is the preference for clothes just the interviewer's personal subjective prejudice?

@HR: The pursuit of personalized clothes can cause headaches, such as tongue nails and tattoos. The company is not a runway, and it doesn't need a fashion show, let alone a COSPLAY. Although it is impossible for HR to reject an applicant just because of the dress problem, it is certain that improper dress will reduce the score.

@ Worry-Free Future: The key to creating the safest dress is to follow two principles and two appropriateness. The two principles are: simple and generous, neat and clean; Two Suits: Only the classics are suitable, and only the company culture is suitable. Classics are eternal, and so are clothes. If you want to stand out with a "niche" taste, the risk factor will undoubtedly reach 99%. Of course, if you apply for the fashion, performing arts and entertainment industries.

Ask about the salary when you come up.

Rejection index: 18%

@ Job-seeker: Many experts tell us that if you ask about the salary of the position you are applying for at the beginning of the interview, the interviewer will immediately reduce your score. As a result, the comedy was staged. Job seekers had a very smooth and friendly interview with HR, the employing department and even the general manager. Once, twice or even many times, they "turned around and ran" to the company. The interview turned out to be very happy that you were hired. At this time, the recruiter offered a salary price that would make you vomit blood. Who is to blame? So I think we should talk about salary at the beginning of the interview. If the salary can't be settled, there is no need for both enterprises and individuals to waste each other's time and energy in the interview, otherwise everyone will be very happy in the end.

@HR: This behavior makes me very disgusted. Obviously, the point is money. I'm not sure whether you are suitable for this position. Is it necessary to tell you the salary as soon as you come up? Just like the first blind date, I'm not sure whether I want to get along with you or not. Is it necessary to tell you how much money I have now?

@ Worry-Free Future: Whether to talk about salary at the beginning of the interview or earlier is inconclusive and can be decided according to personal circumstances. If it is a "hot commodity" or you are not very interested in the interview company, it is best to confirm the salary in advance, which can save both parties time. If you really want to join this company, you can relax your salary a little, so don't talk about salary too early, or you will miss the bargaining space.

Answer the phone during the interview

Rejection index: 15%

@ Job seeker: It may be the first interview. I was so nervous that I forgot to turn off my cell phone. The phone rang during the interview. Although I decisively took out my mobile phone and hung it up and turned it off, it was obvious that the interview failed.

@HR: Some people may question that you can't answer the phone during the interview. If there are other interview notices or emergencies, won't you get them? In this case, I can only say that since I participated in the interview, I must show the minimum respect. It's easy to mute or turn off the bell before the interview. In short, I definitely don't want candidates who answer the phone during the interview.

@ Carefree Future: It is very impolite for both the interviewer and the applicant to answer the phone during the interview. Take a few minutes before the interview and conduct a comprehensive self-examination, including turning off the communication equipment. But if you accidentally forget to turn off your cell phone, you should say "I'm sorry" to the interviewer when the bell rings, and then immediately hang up the phone and turn it off, so as to prepare for the failure of the interview.

Too good at pretending, too much.

Rejection index: 12%

@ Job-seeker: In order to successfully pass the interview, I made full preparations and read a lot of strategies on the Internet, from interview etiquette to interview questions. On the day of the interview, even on a hot day, I put on my professional suit just to leave a good impression on HR, and the interview process was smooth and friendly. I think it must be a shoo-in, but in the end, I ended up waiting for the notice. Then, no then. What did I do wrong?

@HR: Your expressive ability, logical thinking ability and affinity are all good, but I soon found that you answered all the interview questions in a standardized mode and kept hiding your true thoughts. You have wrapped up your true self so well that I can't help wondering why you deliberately hide yourself. "You in disguise" may be suitable for this position, but what about "the real you"? If you are really hired, can you continue to pretend?

@ worry-free future: it is true that the purpose of the interview is to convince HR that "I am the most suitable person", but hiding myself too much will only lose its own characteristics. Take out all the standard answers, answer questions in a watertight way, and never reveal your true thoughts at all, which will also give experienced interviewers a headache. Only by chasing after them and cleverly setting them up can you get your true thoughts. And in case you join the job, don't you always wear the mask of "heartthrob"? It's not difficult to pretend for a day, but it won't lose its true color for a lifetime? This is too painful!

"Forgive everything" promises everything.

Rejection index: 1 1%

@ Job seeker: It's hard to live without a job. This interview has finally reached the final stage, and I don't want anything. Let me have a job first!

@HR: I have never seen such a picky person! It's no problem to keep wages low, and I'll accept overtime. No matter what I say, he always answers "no problem, ok, it's okay, it's okay." Sometimes I just want to see his evaluation of my own value through some questions, so I put forward some almost harsh hypothetical requirements, but I didn't expect him to accept them all. He did, but I lost interest in hiring him for two reasons: 1, he has been unemployed for so long that he just wants to grab a straw first and give up if there is a driftwood; His ability is not enough, which leads to his lack of confidence to make some reasonable demands.

Worry-free future: give in when it is time to give in, and fight when it is time to fight. In short, if anything good is forgiven, it will only make people look down on you and doubt your value and motivation.

Late for the interview

Rejection index: 8%

@ Job-seeker: The company didn't specify the address, which kept me looking for it for a long time. It was because I wanted to enter this company that I was late for a long time to try my luck. Besides, did the interviewer explain to us why he was late? This is obvious inequality!

@HR: I will praise the latecomers who say hello in advance and explain the reasons. /kloc-I will understand if I am late within 0/5 minutes and have apologized. But I can only say I'm sorry. I was late for the interview for half an hour or more, and there was no explanation.

Worry-free future: Being late is not a glorious thing in any case. Don't shirk your responsibility for being late because the other party may be late. Being late, at least the interviewer should have an explanation. This is the basic workplace etiquette and respect for others.

Get familiar with the interviewer.

Rejection index: 6%

@ Job seeker: In my opinion, look for similarities with the interviewer, such as hobbies, constellations, city of birth, etc. It will give people a sense of closeness. But in interviews again and again, I found that many interviewers didn't like me being so "friendly", which puzzled me. The interviewer is really difficult to get along with!

@HR: The company is a strict place. "Self-invitation" may be an interview strategy or a way to treat people, but the interview is a process of investigation after all. Everyone's attitude should be appropriate and rigorous, and the final evaluation can be more objective. In general, I don't want candidates I know well.

@ Worry-Free Future: Every HR has a different personality. We can't use a specific model to say that if you do this, you will succeed in the interview. An excellent job seeker should know how to "read words and observe colors". Even if he is "born familiar", don't talk big. Moderate approval and echo will give you extra points in the interview!
