How to make the interviewer fall in love with you at first sight?

When people are in the workplace, the interview, like routine, is an extremely common thing. How to make the interviewer fall in love with you at first sight and be willing to let you work at once? How can we improve the interview and employment opportunities? According to my personal experience, through the investigation of HR in other companies, I learned some deeper contents about the interview.

First: interview, from the moment you enter the door.

I have interviewed many people, and most of them will come to the company in advance. While waiting for the interview, they will be arranged to wait in the conference room. However, some people always look tired and in poor spirits when waiting for an interview. At first glance, I felt that there was something wrong with the other party's attitude. Does your coming for an interview mean that you may become a member of this company, so you should be happy. Why are you still unhappy? There are also some people who make unscrupulous phone calls or play mobile games during the waiting process before the interview, giving people a feeling of being absent-minded.

The first impression of an interview is very important, just like not being late. The interviewer will consider you through these details. No matter what unhappy things you encounter before coming to the interview, you should show your best from the moment you enter the door.

When interviewing, you should be fully prepared. You should have a full understanding of the position you want to apply for. Speaking of this, some friends may say: I used to apply for a position in a certain industry, and now I still apply for that position in that industry. Of course I understand, but I just changed companies. However, is the operating mechanism of each company the same? Do you know from which angle the HR interviewer will ask questions? You don't know any of this. It's all unknown

In addition to these, you should also know in advance some questions that the interviewer is most interested in and almost must ask. Like why did you leave your job? Why do you want to engage in a brand-new industry? Why are you interested in our project? Wait a minute. You must answer all these questions easily. For example, when it comes to the reasons for leaving, some job seekers will not be calm enough. In fact, as long as you follow two principles, you will have a good answer.

The first principle, you must never denigrate the previous company, you must find the reason from yourself. Some job seekers like to say that the reason for leaving their jobs is that their previous company was not good or bad. I don't deny that this will happen, but remember not to say it.

You can say this: I feel that my previous company has reached the bottleneck, a little tired and numb, and I want to change the environment and rekindle my fighting spirit. Saying these words will make the interviewer feel that you are looking for an opportunity to rekindle your fighting spirit. You should be very self-motivated, so you will be especially respected. You can also say: My previous company was also very good, and I was reluctant to leave, but I felt a little stuck working there. I hope to rearrange my emotions in different environments, because I think it is irresponsible to work with such emotions again.

The interviewer will come to two conclusions when he listens to you. First, you didn't leave for the so-called high salary, which shows that you have a good mind and are really an ideal person. Second, you are a person with a great sense of responsibility for your work and company. You feel that you are in a bad state and leave for fear of affecting your work. This is a kind of benevolence. Of course, don't overdo it, but grasp the scale.

The second principle: don't say something grandiose and empty at the beginning. When many job seekers were asked about the reasons for leaving their jobs, they all said that they wanted to learn and accumulate experience. At first glance, it sounds true, but what is it?

I once interviewed some people, and their resumes all said that their previous company was better, with higher salary and even higher position than the company he applied for at this time. But when I asked why I left, someone said: I think this project has more development prospects, and I want to learn more.

I said: Do you think it is worthwhile to give up your previous job with a monthly salary of 5,000 and apply for a position with a monthly salary of 2,000?

The other party replied: I think it's worth it, because I'm still young and have many opportunities to earn money, but I don't always have the opportunity to learn. There seems to be some truth in this, but don't worry, please look down.

I said: Do you really think so?

The other party replied: Yes. The purpose of my coming is to learn new things.

I said, you are here to apply for the position of sales manager. You should teach your team something new, not how much the company can teach you. If a salesperson doesn't put performance first, how can he create higher value for the company? If you can't create value for the company, will the company still hire you?

The other party immediately defended: I'm not saying that I don't make money, and I don't care about money. It's just that making money is not my first pursuit compared with studying!

That's true, but employers don't think so. So when the interviewer asks you this question, you can say that the main reason is to study more and get in touch with some new projects, hoping for better development in the future, and of course hoping to get a higher salary. This sentence contains all the information that the interviewer wants to hear. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish when to withdraw money, when to withdraw it, and never when not to withdraw it.

The problem of leaving the job is solved, and the rest is relatively simple. As long as you answer according to what you know or understand. Of course, it is not excluded that the interviewer may ask some seemingly unrelated questions, such as: Do you have a boyfriend? How did you meet? Are you married? Do you have any kids？ Wait a minute.

Many job seekers find these privacy-related questions irrelevant, and even wonder if the interviewer has other ideas. In fact, this seemingly unrelated question may be deliberately done by the interviewer to relax you or to understand your life from the side.

Some enterprises are reluctant to recruit people who are married or have just had children. I once encountered this problem when I was recruiting in a bank. HR doesn't want to recruit a new mother because she is afraid that her work will be distracted by always thinking about children. Although the relevant documents issued by the government clearly stipulate that employers should not discriminate against or abandon pregnant women and young mothers, in fact, this phenomenon still exists. So you should think clearly before answering these questions.

Second: How to deal with the interviewer's questions?

Generally speaking, interviewers ask six kinds of questions. First, work experience; Second, industry understanding; Third, personality characteristics; Fourth, work habits; Fifth, sales concept class; Sixth, self-development expectations. You should try to solve these problems in advance.

For example, you must do your homework before accepting the interview, not only to understand the industry, but also to understand the operation and market share of this company in this industry. Otherwise, your answer may not satisfy the interviewer.

A job seeker named Jie Jiang told me about this situation. Once, he went to interview for the position of marketing manager of an advertising company. Before going, he got a general understanding that this company is a newspaper media agent, so he had a clear plan and went.

When the interviewer asked him, do you know what the market prospect of this project we are running now is? After Jie Jiang finished what he knew, the interviewer nodded, and then asked: Why do newspaper media agents choose advertising agents instead of focusing on direct customers? Jie Jiang was speechless for a moment, because in his view, isn't advertising aimed at direct customers? And the company itself is an advertising agency, how to find a secondary agent?

The interviewer told him that because many advertising companies now hold some media promotion and media exchange activities, and then exchange media pages at ultra-low prices, assuming that the market discount before Media A is 30%, the discount after page change may be as low as 40% or even lower. In this way, the profit space of advertising companies will be large. However, due to the large number of pages exchanged, it is difficult for direct customers to put so many advertisements in a short time. At this time, more advertising companies are needed to consume these pages, so as to receive benefits quickly. Jie Jiang doesn't seem to understand. He also defended his idea with the interviewer, thinking that it would be more profitable to sell advertising space to direct customers, and finally missed this opportunity.

Many job seekers are also confused when looking forward to their development prospects or expectations.

Qin Xiaojing is a girl with only two years of secretarial work experience. Later, she applied for a job in another company and communicated well with the interviewer. The interviewer also thinks that she is qualified for this position, so let Qin Xiaojing talk about her future development plan. Therefore, Qin Xiaojing told the truth that he had no actual development expectation and hoped to start a little bit in the company. He didn't need to think too much about what to do in the future, because the plan would never keep up with the changes. The interviewer thinks this answer makes sense. After all, Miss Qin is not familiar with the company's development plan. The interviewer asked again, then your previous two years' work must have expectations, right? Teacher Qin thought for a moment and said, actually, I didn't think I was suitable for that job at that time, so I stayed first because there was no better choice. Later, I always felt that I was particularly suitable for sales, and I didn't like secretarial work very much, so I hope I can develop in the direction of sales in the future, and I hope I can bring a team to explore the market together.

The interviewer will not be very satisfied with Mr. Qin's answer. First, Miss Qin's career direction is not clear. Secondly, since the job she is looking forward to is not secretarial, it means that secretarial work is only a transition for her, and she will not make more efforts for it.

When some job seekers mention their expectations, they will say that they want to be top salespeople, the best business experts and so on, and even the richest man in the world. The purpose of saying these things is nothing more than to prove that you are confident and capable, but when you say these things, the interviewer may think that you are too conceited and not calm enough.

Therefore, the self-confidence that should be highlighted in the interview is down-to-earth self-confidence. For example, I hope to become the best employee of the company through the training of the company and my own efforts. This statement not only shows your self-confidence, but also makes the interviewer feel that you are an ambitious person, so it will naturally give you a chance.

Third, find your own time.

If you always answer what the interviewer asks during the interview, it will be difficult for you to highlight your ability. An excellent person knows how to seize that tiny opportunity. Once the opportunity comes, you can't miss it. So when you answer the interviewer's questions, you must find a time of your own.

Once, I interviewed a job applicant of a company, and his performance was very good. I saw in his resume that he worked in the society during several holidays in college, so I asked him: How many jobs did you have when you were in college? Is it because of poor family conditions? He replied: The family conditions are passable, mainly because a buddy in the same dormitory is really poor. His two younger brothers are in high school, and his mother is sick all the year round. He can't earn tuition and living expenses by working at home alone, so I mobilized all the students in the dormitory to work together and give the money he earned to the poor classmate. Can't this relieve his pressure?

I was a little touched when I heard that. Just as I was about to continue to ask questions, he added: In fact, I think this is what we should do, and I have benefited a lot from this process. Later, the boss of a company specializing in studying abroad heard about us and made an exception to let us go to his company for a paid internship. During this period, I learned a lot, met many customers and achieved good results.

That's him. I decided to hire him without much thought, because the company that entrusted me to help him recruit was also engaged in education, but it was limited to domestic business. The job seeker first raised the topic of work-study program, which aroused my interest, and then cut into his work experience in an education company, which was the focus of our conversation and the key for me to hire him.

Fourth, how to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses and control the pace during the interview.

Everyone has advantages and disadvantages, so when communicating with the interviewer, try to avoid touching your own shortcomings and don't get stuck.

Some interviewers like to ask such questions. What shortcomings do you think you have? Can you talk about your shortcomings? How should you answer such a question under such circumstances? You said your weakness is carelessness and forgetfulness. Although the interviewer thinks you are honest, he will also think that you are not careful enough and may not give you a chance. So what's the answer? You can say: I used to be a little careless in my life, and I often forgot things, but I gradually became more careful at work, which is quite strange to me. This not only answers the interviewer's questions, but also indirectly shows that I have corrected these shortcomings now and carelessness has become a thing of the past.

As for becoming stronger, it can also be shown at an appropriate time. For example, the interviewer asks you: Do you think you are qualified for this programmer's job? If you answer: I think so, because I have been doing this job before, I know exactly what to do. This answer is reasonable, and there is no bright spot, but if you answer like this: I think there is no problem, because I really like this job, and I am still learning and keeping pace with the times. Many software and programs are constantly updated, and only by continuous learning can we do our best. You can imagine how the interviewer will react to such an answer, and he will nod his head in agreement. Because the company needs employees who like learning and constantly charge themselves. The meaning of these two answers is basically the same, but the effect is different, so everyone should pay attention to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses when answering the interviewer's questions.

In the process of communicating with the interviewer, it is also important to control the rhythm. Your pace may be fast or slow. If you are not careful, you may not be able to stop the car or stop suddenly. For example, the interviewer speaks very fast and may have to interview many people, so you can't answer his questions slowly. One question can be made clear in a few words. Don't chatter just because the interviewer doesn't interrupt you.

There is another question to pay attention to during the interview, that is, don't ask the interviewer a question, but answer a sentence. Some answers should be predictable. You can respond to several questions that the interviewer intends to ask in one answer. For example, the interviewer said: Your name is Zhang Shuang, and your family is from Shandong? You can answer: Yes, my name is Zhang Shuang. I come from Shandong, but I went to university in Beijing, majoring in e-commerce. These contents are what the interviewer wants to know, and you answered them to save him from asking again. Besides, if you say that, he will think you are quick-thinking and quick-reacting.

Sometimes, you may be the last person in the interview that day, so the interviewer is willing to talk to you more, so he slows down. For example, he asks you: Do you usually like watching NBA? Which team do you like? Do you like Howard? You answer: I like watching, I like rockets, and I like Howard. Then, just wait for the other person to continue asking questions. In fact, this practice is also inappropriate. At this time, the interviewer wants you to speak a little more, hoping that you can resonate with him. If you answer so simply and to the point, he will think you are too formulaic and have no opinion of your own.

If you answer: I often watch NBA, because of Yao Ming, I always like rockets. However, the Rockets have not played very well in recent seasons. Howard's personal skills are really strong. I like him very much. The dunk contest left a deep impression on me. This guy's jumping ability is amazing. This kind of answer will make the interviewer feel that your hobbies are the same as his, and it is likely to treat you differently and give you more opportunities.

Fifth, carry out modesty and prudence to the end.

When it comes to interviews, many people think that Kan Kan is the only way to show their abilities and win the favor of interviewers. Actually, it's not.

Mr. Zhang is a job seeker who came back from studying in England. He told me that when he went to many domestic fund companies for interviews, he encountered such a problem, that is, when he was talking in Kan Kan, the interviewer interrupted him and said, I have a general understanding of your situation. Please go back and wait for our notice!

I asked Mr. Zhang how he expressed his ideas when communicating with the interviewer, and then he made a rough simulation. Hearing this, I found the problem. First of all, Mr. Zhang's English is excellent. After studying abroad for many years, he often pops up a few words of English when communicating with people. Originally, this is not wrong. Suppose the interviewer's English level is not as good as yours and he can't understand what you say, then the consequences can be imagined; Furthermore, Teacher Zhang has a mantra: Do you understand what I mean? This way of speaking will upset some interviewers, and the other person will think that you look down on him and think that he doesn't know what you are talking about. Therefore, when interviewing, don't appear more knowledgeable and knowledgeable than the interviewer. Put yourself in the right position and face the interviewer with the attitude that students ask teachers.

Many times the interviewer will deliberately throw such a question. Tell me, does Photoshop handle this picture better than Illustrator? I only know these two softwares, but I don't know the specific operation. Tell me your opinion. Or ask this question: you said in your resume that you like tea. Do you know more about tea ceremony? Not really. Can you tell me something about it? It is possible that he really doesn't know such a problem, but many times, he will definitely be much better than you in this respect. If you think you should take the opportunity to show yourself well and indirectly give lessons to the other party, then you will be in trouble, because the other party will think that you are a person who is not self-effacing.

In an interview, sometimes you should be witty and improvise. For example, the interviewer asks you: both company X and our company make this recruitment website. Which advantage do you think is more obvious? If you blurt out without thinking: our company, of course. Then the other person will definitely think that you are an apple polisher. But if you want to say that the other company is good, the interviewer will ask you again: since you think X company is good, why don't you go there to find us?

No matter how you defend this problem, you will look pale and powerless at that moment. So you have to answer this question: I think every company has its own advantages. The main customer base of company X is IT industry, and we are in financial industry. Their boss is from IT and technology, so it is reasonable to focus on IT industry now, while the financial industry has always been the hottest and most concerned, and our customers are also the richest, so I personally think we are even slightly better. Such an answer is neither empty nor straightforward, let alone artificial. Can the interviewer be dissatisfied with such an answer?

Sixth, pay attention to a few details when interviewing.

In fact, I don't say that everyone may know this, but not many people really know what an interview instrument is and what a workplace instrument is. Pay attention to these details. I say this because I have met too many people who don't pay attention to appearance. I have interviewed more than n people, and some of them came to the interview directly in slippers, shorts, miniskirts or even some strange clothes, which is inappropriate. Unless the job you are interviewing for is to show your youthful, fashionable and sexy side, such as models, actors and singers. Do not pursue the so-called novelty.

Others came to the interview sweating and disheveled. Maybe I came here in a hurry because I was in a hurry to squeeze the bus and subway. After I arrived, I rushed in for an interview without making any adjustments. This is irresponsible to oneself and disrespectful to the interviewer. In order to avoid this situation, job seekers should plan their travel routes in advance and then start ahead of time. If they arrive earlier, they will have time to adjust their status.

It should be noted that your dress is consistent with the position you want to apply for. For example, if you are applying for management, you should look generous and decent. You can wear more generous and steady clothes such as suits and Chinese tunic suits. You'd better wear a tie in a suit. If you don't play, the collar button of the shirt must be unbuttoned, otherwise it will look boring. If you choose to wear a suit, you must wear a shirt Some job seekers like to wear a sweater or T-shirt directly under their suits, which is less serious.

For women, it is best not to dress too childish or sexy, not to wear earrings, rings and necklaces, and not to wear strong perfume, which may give the interviewer an impetuous feeling. In addition, your clothes must match your status and income. For example, if you plan to apply for an ordinary sales clerk, but you wear a high-end brand to interview, then the interviewer will not leave a good impression on you.

Before you go in for an interview, you'd better look in the mirror to see if there is dandruff on your hair and shoulders, whether there is oil on your face, whether your clothes are buttoned and so on. Only by paying attention to these details and making full preparations can you face the interviewer calmly and be more confident when you go in for an interview.
