Basic forms of interview etiquette

The basic form of interview etiquette is easy to be brushed off because of improper etiquette in the job interview process. If you can give the interviewer an elegant first impression, the chances of success in the interview will be greatly increased. Otherwise, it would be a pity to miss the job opportunity if it clearly meets the standards. I will show you the basic form of interview etiquette.

Basic Forms of Interview Etiquette 1 Interview Etiquette-General Chapter

What is the most important thing in an interview? Let's talk about a picture (see above), from which we can see that politeness is the most important.

Employment guidance experts emphasize that the importance of nonverbal communication is self-evident, such as clothing, dressing, gestures, facial expressions, etc., which will leave a deep first impression on the interviewer. A study shows that the impression a person leaves on others depends on 7% words, 38% sound quality and 55% nonverbal communication. Therefore, in the interview, proper use of nonverbal communication skills will bring you twice the result with half the effort.

First, the specific distance and way of standing, sitting, watching and speaking during the interview

1, stand:

Man: Open your feet in parallel, with a distance of about 10 cm, and put your hands in front of your lower abdomen.

Lady: Put your feet together and put your hands in front of your lower abdomen.

The line of sight is slightly higher, the bearing is serene and stable, showing a confident posture.

2. Sit down:

Sit on the left and lean forward slightly.

Man: Put your hands in front of your knees and keep your heels together. Your knees can be separated by a fist and placed in parallel.

Lady: Put your hands together. Before your knees are flat, put your legs together and tilt slightly. Put your feet together.

If you sit in a soft and deep chair, you should sit at the front.

3, the placement of the line of sight:

When you face each other, your eyes can fall between each other's noses, and occasionally you can look into each other's eyes. You can look each other in the eye when consulting.

4. Dialogue distance:

When two people sit face to face, they are about one wrist long, but there will be a table between the interviewer and the interviewer, so don't worry.

5. Seating method:

It's best to stand in the living room first, and wait for the arrangement of the host. Please sit down first. Important people usually sit in the innermost position facing the door.

Second, two points to pay attention to before the interview

1, the more resumes, the better.

In "What is your resume like?" 66% of the resumes on 1-2 pages were selected, 28% were attached with "cover, back cover, cover letter" and 29% were attached with "my documents, transcripts and works", which became the "three big pieces" of most job resumes. 7% and 4% chose "color binding, characteristic photos" and "illustrated, detailed and comprehensive" respectively.

Employment guidance experts said that as a carrier of personal image, ability and quality, many people don't know how to write it, and most people will choose to write it in every detail. In fact, the most impractical thing about a resume is "cover, back cover and cover letter", which wastes both time and printing paper, followed by various certificates and transcripts attached to the resume. An excellent resume, reduced to 1-2 pages is enough. Unless otherwise requested, nothing else is needed.

2. Professional clothes are more likely to get a good impression.

According to the survey results of workplace etiquette, 72% of the respondents said they would prepare for the interview and wear clean professional clothes, 17% said "nothing special, as usual", 1 1% said they would definitely choose "professional suit". Employment guidance experts say that clothes make sense. Although we don't mean to judge a book by its cover, clothes that meet the "temperament" and job position of the applicant can not only easily get the interviewer's "first impression", but also reflect the individual's serious attitude towards the applicant's company and add points to the interview.

Third, the workplace etiquette that should also be paid attention to after the interview

1. Thanks to the recruiter.

Xiao Zhang, who graduated last year, told reporters that thanking the recruiter after the interview can deepen the impression of the recruiter on you and reflect his own quality to a certain extent. It is suggested that in order to deepen the impression of the recruiter on you and increase the possibility of successful job hunting, it is best for job seekers to call or write to the recruiter to express their gratitude within two days after the interview. Among them, thank you calls should be brief, preferably no more than 5 minutes; Thank you letters should also be concise, preferably no more than one page. The thank-you letter should mention your name and brief information, reiterate your interest in the company and position, try to correct the bad impression you may leave on the recruiter, and finally express your confidence that your quality can meet the requirements of the company.

2. It is not advisable to inquire about the interview results too early.

Job seekers wait for notice for a long time after the interview. The reporter learned that some job seekers will ask the company for the results in a day or two in order to know their interview situation as soon as possible after the interview. According to relevant sources, under normal circumstances, the examiner group will discuss and vote after the interview every day, and then send it to the personnel department for summary, and finally determine the candidate for employment, which may take 3 to 5 days. Job seekers must wait patiently for news during this time, and don't inquire about the interview results too early. Generally speaking, if you haven't received the other party's reply two weeks after the interview or when the notice time promised by the examiner is up, you should write or call the recruiting unit or the examiner to ask if you have made a decision.

Interview Etiquette-Civil Servant Interview Etiquette

First, the interview dress

Candidates often ask, formal dress is too ugly, I am not used to wearing formal dress, can I dress fashionable, outstanding or casual? The interview is different from the previous school exams, so it is particularly formal in dress. Generally speaking, it is suggested that you can wear a suit and tie on the day of the interview, which can make people look solemn. Never find a casual dress to wear on your body. Besides formal styles, we should also pay attention to the neatness and freshness of clothes. On the one hand, it is respect for the examiner. On the other hand, if the examiner sees that your clothes are covered with wrinkles and your shoes are covered with dust, it will greatly reduce your impression that you are a very impetuous person who does not pay attention to details.

Second, etiquette and appearance.

During the interview, you must pay attention to your image and your words and deeds. A casual action may lose an excellent opportunity. Let yourself have a correct attitude, speak modestly and generously, respect the examiner, smile and be full of energy. When you enter the examination room, you should be natural, generous and confident, and greet and bow to the examiner naturally as we usually train. Sit up straight in the chair and try to keep face-to-face and eye contact with the examiner. Don't look upset, don't pull your hair or shake your legs, and don't do anything that will damage your image at will. Keep eye contact with the examiner.

Third, the etiquette when answering questions

Don't be impulsive during the interview. You should listen carefully to the examiner's guide, because there will be a lot of information in the guide, including the form of answering questions, the time of answering questions, whether to give paper and pens, and whether to take some records. Also, don't start turning over papers, reading questions and writing while the examiner is reading the guide. Sometimes the examiner may ask some questions. At this time, you can't wait for the examiner to finish the questions or haven't finished them yet, so you can't wait to answer them, which will be unstable. You should give an answer after a little consideration, which will be better and make people feel that you have considered everything. This answer is more mature. Of course, if you think about every question for a long time, you will feel that you are unfamiliar with this question, you can't answer it, or you are too cautious and timid.

Usually, you can think for a few seconds after reading the questions, or after the examiner asks questions, and then start answering questions. In the process of answering questions, not only the mouth but also the brain should move, thinking about what to say next while answering. When answering questions, sit still and don't dance there, giving people a sense of atmosphere and stability. The most important thing, and the most difficult thing for candidates to do, is eye contact. Interview is a communication between people, not for you to study or recite the text, so eye contact with the examiner is absolutely indispensable. You can use this as a work report, which can ease everyone's nervousness and make eye contact with the examiner again.

At the end of the interview, stand up and thank the examiner, formally say "thank you" or "goodbye to the examiner", and open and close the door gently. In short, every move in the interview may determine your success or failure. Don't take it lightly.

Interview Etiquette —— Interview Etiquette for College Students

I. dress etiquette

Interview is a favorable opportunity for us to establish an interview unit. Pay attention to the color, style and size of clothes, and coordinate with your age, temperament, skin color, body shape, recruitment occupation and position.

1, clothes

Ladies usually wear formal dresses, and solemn and elegant clothes make you more professional. Prepare one or two suits and go to different units for interviews. The colors are mainly dark, supplemented by light colors, and some bright colors are not excluded, but they should not be too fancy or too lively. A well-tailored dress and a shirt with the right color make people look steady, confident, generous and capable, leaving a trustworthy impression on employers. The length of the skirt should be the length of the knee. If it is petite, it can be 5CM above the knee and the color should be matched with the same color.

Men cut their hair, shave, shine their shoes and put on clean and tidy clothes.

Taboo: Wear casual clothes, such as slippers, miniskirts, T-shirts, jeans, excessive accessories, colorful nail polish, long nails and colorful hair.

2. Shoes (for convenience)

Generally not more than 5CM.

Color matching skirt, it is best to wear dark shoes or shoes of the same color when wearing formal clothes.

If you wear sandals, be sure to wear sandals with seals on the front.

Please don't wear stockings if you have fishmouth shoes.

Note: Don't wear black stockings, even if you are a leg model.

3. Jewelry

Suggestions on the size of the bag: the maximum size should not exceed A4 paper, and only the compilation and some supporting materials can be put down.

Jewelry requirements: Earrings are best earrings, avoiding exaggerated earrings or earrings. Don't bring too complicated bracelets except watches. Watches are the best decorations to show your time concept, and metal chain watches are the best.

4. Hair accessories

Keep your hair clean and tidy. Dandruff or oily hair is forbidden whether it is long hair or short hair. Don't leave dandruff on clothes to avoid big waves or exaggerated colors.

5. Make up/make up/make up/make up/make up/configure/make up/make up (bed)

Draw a light makeup before the interview to cover the spots on your face properly, but don't wear heavy makeup. It should be a young, pure and pure college student identity!

Seven kinds of wear and tear that should be avoided

NG 1: wear a hat

Although wearing a hat is very stylish and the finishing touch, you may think that a gentleman's hat is very formal, but the fact is that the interviewer will only think whether you are going to shoot in the street or not, rather than coming for an interview seriously. Secondly, the brim of a hat will block the other person's line of sight, which is quite impolite.

NG 2: flower clothes

It is understandable that you want to use suits with different fabrics and colors to show your sense of formality and maintain your personal characteristics, but too eye-catching prints or colors can easily make people feel too casual. It is more appropriate to choose a stable black, white, gray or dark blue department during the interview.

NG 3: sandals

Although all kinds of sandals are still hot rammed this year, and wearing shirts feels quite formal, don't try to say "clothes are so formal, make a balance with popular casual shoes". The interviewer will only think that you wore the wrong shoes when you went out in the morning.

NG 4: coat shawl

Coat shawl is a popular way for many fashionistas to wear, but you must wear it when interviewing! Never! Never do this, even if you are wearing a suit and jacket, but in the face of a conservative interviewer, he will only think this dress is not formal enough.

NG 5: too many colors

If you want to rely on colorful formal clothes to decide the outcome, I suggest you not to do so during the interview. Too fancy color matching may make the interviewer feel dazzled and not solemn enough. Keep colorful suits until you formally join the company.

NG 6: jacket

Although it is very popular to wear formal X casual clothes now, it is really inappropriate to wear a short coat inside a suit to expose the waist and abdomen. It is better to wear a normal length coat.

NG 7: sunglasses

Finally, we all know that it's very hot outside, and it's not too much to wear sunglasses for shade when walking on the road, but please remember to take them off before entering the building of the interview company, and don't take them off slowly after entering the company. After all, it is not clear whether you will meet the interviewer in the elevator of the building.

Second, the etiquette in the interview process

1, interview waiting

You must be more than one applicant on the day of the interview. When you are not waiting outside, don't walk around and look around because you are too curious or excited, which will make you look unstable. Don't talk to others or make loud phone calls outside, it will affect others' preparation and thinking, and it will also distract the candidates in the room. All you have to do is sit quietly in the chair to calm your excitement or anxiety, so that you can deal with the interview with a good attitude later.

Step 2 enter the door

Never enter the interview room without telling you. When it's your turn, whether the door is closed or not, you should tap on the door board with the second knuckles of your index finger and middle finger, and you can enter the room only after you get permission. Don't forget to turn around and close the door. Easy, don't slam the door.

3. Eyes

When facing the examiner, pay attention to keep a proper smile, take the initiative to say hello, and don't just stand there without any response. Natural facial expressions, not too serious, not too timid. Look natural, don't glance left and right, blink, and don't stare directly at the examiner. This is very impolite. If there are multiple examiners present at the same time, your eyes should take care of everyone and scan the audience from time to time to let everyone know that you are respecting them.

4. Sitting posture

If the examiner doesn't ask you to sit down, don't talk to yourself, just sit down naturally at home. When the examiner asks you to sit down, say "thank you" and then sit down generously. Pay attention to sitting posture, too. You should sit between the front third and the back third of the chair, chest out and abdomen in. Never lean back in the chair or hunch over, which makes people look listless and insecure. Don't cross your legs, don't shake your legs. Boys' feet are slightly narrower than their shoulders, and their hands naturally rest on their thighs. Girls should put their knees together when wearing skirts and pay more attention to sitting posture.

Step 5 answer during the interview

During the interview, you should concentrate, don't be distracted, listen carefully to every question of the examiner, and give the examiner some interaction, such as nodding your head appropriately, to show that you are listening and have understood. Don't play games and be mysterious when you answer, or the examiner will think you are too glib and dishonest. Don't be surprised if you encounter a problem that you can't understand. You can find some related topics as a starting point and start slowly, which may have good results.

Learn to understand the meaning expressed by the examiner's expression. If the other person is obviously absent-minded or bored with the question you have expounded, stop the topic immediately, stop talking, and return the initiative of the discourse to the examiner. If the examiner shows great interest, don't get carried away. On the contrary, you should pay more attention to the words and sense of proportion in language, so that people can feel that you are confident and modest.

Basic forms of interview etiquette II. Don't be late.

Being late will affect the image, and interviews in big companies often have to arrange many people at a time. If you are a few minutes late, you will probably miss the company forever.

But recruiters are allowed to be late. This point must be clear, otherwise, as long as the recruiter is late, your dissatisfaction will flow into words, and then the recruiter's first impression of you will be greatly reduced. Please pay attention to the "decision principle of the first three minutes", so as long as you show a little sadness, you will lose the game. In addition, recruiters also have their reasons for being late:

1, when recruiting business personnel, the company's business naturally takes precedence over recruitment matters, so the time may be delayed due to business;

2, but the previous interview may be longer than the scheduled time;

It is common that the personnel department or the secretary does not coordinate well.

Other executives, who deal with senior customers all day, will inevitably feel superior when recruiting, so they will be careless about many interview details and will inevitably make mistakes. Some people are late on purpose, which is also a way to get pies, so don't mind the recruiter being late. Remember, you are looking for a job now, not others begging you to find a job. At the same time, don't care too much about the etiquette and accomplishment of the interviewer. If there is something wrong with them, such as being late, you should try to be generous and cheerful, which can often turn bad things into good things. As mentioned above, the interview is nothing more than a test of interpersonal running-in ability, and your decent and thoughtful performance will naturally benefit you a lot.

1, it is best to arrive 10- 15 minutes in advance to get familiar with the environment.

If it's a long trip, you'd rather arrive 30 minutes or even an hour in advance. Traffic jams are common on the road, and it is inevitable to get lost in unfamiliar places. However, it is not advisable to arrive early, and it is best not to appear at the interview site more than 10 minutes in advance, otherwise the employer may feel very inconvenient because the things at hand are not handled properly. The bosses of foreign companies often say what time is, and generally don't advance it. Of course, if many people are notified in advance to come for an interview, those who arrive early can interview early or wait in the free conference room, that is another matter. For interview sites with long distance and complicated geographical location, you may wish to take a trip first, familiarize yourself with the traffic routes and terrain, and even find out the location of the bathroom in advance, so that you can know the specific location of the interview and the time needed on the road. Don't laugh when it comes to "bathroom". Actually, it's very important. Let's tell a story about a person who works in a state organ going to a foreign company for an interview. He suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom before the interview, but because he was unfamiliar with the environment of the office building and had never been there before the interview, he naturally couldn't figure out which door it was. As a result, I ran into the fire escape and pressed the fire alarm. As a result, the whole building rang, which really caused a sensation. He hid in a panic for a while before going to the toilet. When he went to the interview again, he had already missed the appointed time. By this time, the interviewer had set off for the airport. He will lose the opportunity to enter this company forever.

2. Seize the opportunity to enter the house

After entering the room, if you find that the recruiter is filling out the last person's evaluation form, don't bother and show understanding and cooperation. But don't be smart. It is wrong to wait outside the door without the knowledge of the recruiter. For recruiters, when to fill in the evaluation form and how long to write it are his own work arrangements; For you, if it's time for an interview, you should open the door. But if the recruiter asks you to wait outside the door, that's another matter. At this time, you should do as he asks. In fact, sometimes, recruiters have filled out the form and started to read their own documents. At this time, if you take the initiative to wait outside, it will eventually be the result of "the dumb eats coptis, and there is bitterness that cannot be said". Someone will invite you in and wait in the room. You should listen to his arrangement, don't look around, don't touch your hands, don't close your eyes and don't interrupt. Although this period of time will be very difficult, it will pass with patience. If you really have nothing to do and there are magazines to read, you can read them with permission. Generally speaking, it won't take too long to fill out this evaluation form, so there is no need to save this time to see or do something. Experienced recruiters will properly handle this embarrassing situation. For example, if he thinks you have been waiting for a long time, he will suggest that you read the magazines on your desk first. At this time, even if you don't want to see it, don't refuse. It's another matter to look at it or not, but accept it politely.

Secondly, be polite.

Both the interviewer and the secretary should be polite. Many people are rude to secretaries and think that secretaries are low-level and unimportant. Especially those who have part-time jobs want to put on an adjutant shelf when they see people lower than themselves. As we all know, in the culture of foreign companies, rank only represents the difference of division of labor, and everyone is equal at ordinary times. Of course, this is not to teach you to kiss up to the secretary, but to emphasize the principle of equality in the culture of foreign companies. Although some people get along well with recruiters, the secretary is disgusted with him. When negative comments reach the ears of recruiters, it will also adversely affect the interview results. Not only recruiters, but also secretaries and others should be treated with courtesy. This is mainly a matter of self-cultivation. Be polite. I hope everyone will get into the habit from now on. If you don't get into the habit now, you will be too concerned about others. This kind of example is very common in China. Everyone should show his title when they meet for the first time. Once the other person is found to be lower or younger than himself, the higher one will naturally pose as an elder or superior. In fact, this is a very lack of self-cultivation behavior. In Beijing, this habit has spread to all walks of life and all ages, so we should pay special attention to it and form the habit of being polite to everyone from now on.

Third, be generous and decent

1, how to sit politely?

After entering the room, all actions should be done according to the instructions of the recruiter, not stiff or too modest. If he asks you to sit down, don't hesitate to say that you sit down first and I'll sit down later. This is not right. It is important to be generous and decent. As a recruiter, I interviewed many people and summed up some regional and cultural characteristics of China people. It is often the people in the northeast who are too enthusiastic, especially the male compatriots in the northeast. You asked him to sit down, but he wouldn't sit down. He didn't sit down until you had to. When going out to see a guest off, it is generally felt that the lady goes first. Sometimes it's really the female manager who interviews you. At this time, you must not insist on letting her go first. If there is, give up at most. Because sometimes people send you away, but she doesn't, so after you send her out, people still have to come back. What a bother! Therefore, it is better to obey than to be respectful.

2. What would you like to drink

After entering the room, when the recruiter asks you what to drink or proposes other options, you must give a clear answer, which will make you look very independent. The most taboo statement is: "Whatever, you decide." There are three reasons, one is the language habit of China people, and the other is out of your kindness, hoping to facilitate others. Thirdly, influenced by parents, we feel that what we drink and eat in other people's places is something given by others and should not be directly asked. In fact, what the recruiter gives you is the normal expenditure of the company, so don't be embarrassed. Big companies hate people who have no opinions. Such people will bring trouble, waste time and reduce efficiency in future cooperation.

Step 3 discuss the appointment time

If you want to make an appointment for the next meeting, there are two extremes to avoid: one is being too easy-going, saying any time will make you look idle; The second is to name a time quickly without thinking. A more appropriate way is to think for a while and then suggest one or two flexible hours. Don't die and let others choose, so as to leave room for each other. Even if you have five available time, don't say it all, it will be wordy. Moreover, once others think that you have too much free time, they will go on a date at will, which will bring you inconvenience. For example, if you go to the cinema to see a movie, if the whole cinema is empty, you may spend three minutes looking for a suitable seat. Recruiters may also have this mentality. Please give him an hour or two first. If he doesn't think it's appropriate, he will immediately say his feasible time. As long as the time he said coincides with one of your free time, the problem will be solved. But if he doesn't talk enough time, you might as well throw away the next plan.

4. Natural = whatever?

Although "it's not surprising to be polite to many people", we should be natural, neither too polite nor too casual. Don't think that American companies are casual, and American companies should be polite. How to master this "degree"? This requires paying more attention to the culture of foreign companies and communicating with you more.
