How to prevent being cheated during interviews?

If you are careless in preparation, even a technical elite may miss out on the company of your choice. In the fierce competition, every step from job-hopping to getting an offer must be done step by step and cautiously. Zhuozhong headhunting consultants introduce the following seven points of experience, hoping to help job seekers pass the exam smoothly.

Experience 1: Capture information and seize career opportunities

To be a successful professional, you must maintain a keen ability to capture information, especially in industries where knowledge and technology are rapidly updated. . Each company will launch different positions at different times, or with the transformation of the company's products, new technology positions will be created. Quickly grasping the development of the industry and targeting the development prospects of a certain new technology is the first step to successfully change jobs. . The reporter found that on the one hand, many technical talents are worried about their career prospects, but on the other hand, they only work hard, lack information, and have no understanding of the current industry development status and emerging career opportunities.

Friendly reminder: Technical personnel should always pay attention to industry information, such as broadening their network of contacts, frequently attending industry gatherings, frequently logging into recruitment websites or reading recruitment newspapers, paying attention to the development trends of various well-known companies, etc., so that they can succeed in the industry. Find the right career opportunity at the right time.

Experience 2: Plant a lot but reap little, and submit resumes repeatedly

There is a lot of demand for technical positions, and there are more job seekers. For example, for the R&D engineer position launched by Citi Software, three to four hundred resumes were received on the same day. The competition was very fierce, and the probability of job seekers getting an interview notice was greatly reduced. At this time, "plant widely and harvest little" is the best method. You can first fill out a complete resume on a recruitment website and make your resume public. Then search for suitable positions according to your needs and selectively send multiple resumes to increase your probability of success. For the companies you like, you can submit them repeatedly for a week. Because when too many resumes are received for a certain position, the company will not check them one by one, but will only randomly select some resumes. Repeated submissions will undoubtedly increase the probability of success.

Friendly reminder: There are many ways to attract the attention of companies. In addition to online delivery, you can also mail written letters, or after finding out the name of the company’s recruitment director, ask for a courier to deliver your resume. This will be more likely to attract the attention of the company. . In addition, when you fail to apply for a certain position in a company, you can still apply for other positions in the company.

Experience 3: Arrange your time wisely to save application costs

Generally, applying for technical positions requires 3-4 rounds of interviews, which means that in most cases you need to be at home and I traveled back and forth between companies three or four times. Most of the high-tech enterprises are located in remote suburbs, such as Zhangjiang High-tech Park, Zizhu Science Park, Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, Lingang New City, Caohejing Development Zone, etc. It is hard to travel back and forth. To go to Zizhu Science Park from the city center, you need to take Metro Line 1 to Xinzhuang Station, transfer to Metro Line 5, and then take a taxi to the company. The round trip takes more than two hours and costs 40 to 50 yuan in tolls.

Friendly reminder: After you receive the interview notice, you can change the appointment time with the company HR, and arrange the interview times for the same area and different companies on the same day, which can save time and travel expenses.

Experience Talk 4: Just one step ahead, self-study to overcome technical barriers

If you think that interviews for technical positions only test "real materials" and do not require review and preparation, then you Wrong. The experience of those who have been there tells us that the interviews of technical personnel should also be done on the fly. A software R&D engineer with many years of work experience told reporters that no matter how senior technical talents are, they often only focus on technology in a certain field or are proficient in using a certain programming tool. However, each company's development field is different, and its requirements for specific technologies are also very different. Even companies in the same industry have different requirements.

Friendly reminder: Before the interview, you should learn more about the company's job description, understand the company's product areas and directions, and find relevant information and technical references in a timely manner. Generally, talents with good technical foundation and strong learning ability can pass the interview after 1-2 days of self-study of relevant technologies.

Experience Talk 5: Plan your career and clarify your development goals

Whether it is a technical interview with a department manager or a regular interview with a human resources manager, the two aspects of "reason for leaving" and "career goals" The big questions are asked the most. The person in charge of recruitment at HP said frankly that considering recruitment costs and the impact on work progress, the company pays special attention to employee loyalty when recruiting. Anyone whose resume has experience of changing jobs within one year will be asked again and again.

Friendly reminder: No matter what your career experience is, only by having clear career goals, giving a clear technical route, and integrating your technical route with the development of the enterprise can you be sure of success. You can choose a development path from technology to management, such as a technical engineer to a team leader, project manager, or department manager, or you can take a development path from technology to technology, such as chief technology officer to R&D director.

Experience Talk 6: Understand the recruitment process and have a plan in mind

The first round of phone interviews, 2-3 rounds of technical interviews, department manager interviews, human resources manager interviews... Job seekers who are familiar with technical interviews The reporter feels that the whole process cannot escape these "flowers", so he just waits for the company to "come over". Not really. For example, before going to Citi Software's special job fair, you can submit your resume online first, and then get approval and confirmation, and you can directly enter the second round of interviews on the same day; another example is the Microsoft Asia Engineering Academy recruitment, where five interviewers will be arranged to take turns interviewing in the first round. Give "arithmetic" questions that seem to have nothing to do with technology to test whether you are smart enough; companies such as Sybase will have a round of interviews with foreign team directors or managers. At this time, it is very important to practice English over the phone in advance. Necessary; another example is applying for an HP company. If you do not understand the salary level in advance and offer an exorbitant price, your efforts will often be wasted.

Friendly reminder: Each company has different emphases, question types, corporate culture, and focus. It is very important to do a good job in process research.

Experience Talk 7: Confirmation after the interview to increase the impression of the examiner

After each round of interviews, the re-interview notice will be sent out within 1-2 weeks. Job seekers are anxious, The process of waiting eagerly for notification is extremely difficult, and the waiting process will also affect the progress of applying for other companies or positions. At this time, job seekers may wish to change from passive to active and send a thank-you letter to the interviewer after the interview to reiterate their yearning for the company. This can increase the interviewer's impression of you.

Friendly reminder: Generally, corporate HR departments have recruitment systems and talent pools to record in detail the results of each round of interviews for job seekers. If you have not received a reply 2-3 days after the interview, you can also take the initiative to call. Call the human resources department to check if there is any drama, so you can know in advance
