What speaking arts should we pay attention to in the face of challenging problems?

In a sense, the interview process is a quiz. In order to obtain available talents, candidates should not only examine their basic quality and professional ability, but also pay great attention to their intelligence level and quick response ability. Therefore, we often put forward some challenging biased questions, difficult problems and strange questions in an ingenious way, deliberately giving the candidates "difficulties" and making judgments. For candidates, they must dare to meet challenges and make surprising responses to specific topics in order to win the appreciation of examiners and successfully break through the interview.

A witty rhetorical question

During the interview, sometimes the examiner may ask some "digressions" that are true or false. To this end, candidates should not simply answer questions, but pay more attention and think comprehensively to make the answers more complete and complete, so as not to lose sight of one thing, leave a blank and give people a handle.

A TV station needs a reporter, and Zheng Xiao applied for it. During the interview, the examiner pointed out: "You said you like writing, but I read the application form you filled out, and there are three grammatical mistakes in the column of' self-evaluation'. There are no redundant forms now, and no changes are allowed. What should you do? " Zheng Xiao was taken aback and thought he was very careful when filling out the form. How can there be three mistakes? But time doesn't allow him to think much. He made a quick decision and replied, "In order to make up for the mistake, I can attach a correction note to the back of the form, which reads:' There are three grammatical mistakes in so-and-so place, which is really the carelessness of the person filling in the form. I hereby correct it and apologize to you. But ..... "He paused and said," Before issuing this correction statement, I want to know where the mistake is, because I can't issue a correction statement at random, and I don't want to make this mistake again. "

His witty answer made the examiners laugh. In fact, there is nothing wrong with his application form, just a trap set by the examiner to test his self-confidence and reaction ability. Judging from the way of expression, his score mainly lies in the supplementary explanation in the second half. The expression of this paragraph is perfect and watertight, which proves his astute, comprehensive, careful and meticulous character and wins favorable comments.

hypothesis

Examiners sometimes set "traps" when asking questions, which are cleverly disguised and attractive. If you don't realize it, a simple superficial answer may fall into a trap, show your inferiority and fall into passivity. In the face of such questions, remember not to rush to answer, but to think and analyze, grasp the key points, avoid the "trap" and jump over.

For example, the examiner asked, "If you are hired, can you work for a long time without jumping ship?"

This problem seems simple, but there are hidden dangers in fact. If you simply answer "I don't jump ship", it is equivalent to a trap; If you answer "I will jump ship", then the other party will definitely not hire you.

A candidate responded tactfully, presupposing preconditions, which seemed appropriate and ingenious. He said: "I read an article the other day called' The Age of Popular Job-hopping'. I don't jump ship. Because the hero of the article has found a satisfactory job, an environment where he can give full play to his talents and a rich income, I agree with him very much. As far as my desire to apply for a job is concerned, I want to find a counterpart and satisfactory job, and I will go all out. " His answer set implicit preconditions, and it was very frank, comprehensive and impeccable.

Another example: in an interview with a foreign company, the two sides talked very speculatively and seemed to have great hopes. Near the end, the examiner looked at his watch and asked, "May I invite you to dinner?"

It turns out that this is also an examination question, which has a deep trap. If the candidate accepts it gladly, it is suspected of pleasing the examiner; It's not so polite if you simply refuse. Fortunately, the examinee used his brains, and he replied tactfully, "If I were a colleague, I would like to accept your invitation."

Because he presupposed a prerequisite, his answer was very appropriate and widely praised.

In short, for questions that may have a "trap", generally do not answer directly, but think about what the other party's intention is and where the "organ" is, and then use the preset to jump over the trap to respond.

challenge

During the interview, candidates usually have to respond respectfully and don't challenge easily. However, when you lose your fair chance because of the examinee's arbitrariness, you might as well use strong stimulation to express and make a reasonable restrained response to urge the other party to change its attitude, which may bring you back to life.

Liu Qu, a college graduate, applied for a job in an enterprise. He was received by a well-informed general manager. They didn't talk for a few words, and the general manager came to a conclusion and said, "No."Xiao Zhang thought it was useless to ask again from the front, so he said bluntly, "The general manager means that your company has enough talents to make it successful. Even if I have good skills, I don't seem to need to be employed. It's better to stay away, right? " He smiled and looked directly at the general manager, waiting for his reaction to this strong stimulus. After a moment of silence, the general manager finally spoke: "Can you tell me about your experience, ideas and plans?" Xiao Liu took another step and said, "I'm sorry, I was too bold just now." Excuse me, is someone like me worth talking about? " His attack only aroused the general manager's interest, and he didn't want to spare a truly talented person. Say, "Please don't mention it." In this way, Xiao Liu got a chance to show himself. He made a systematic statement on his experience, plans and views on business development. After hearing the introduction, the general manager smiled and said, "Young man, I have decided to hire you and come to work tomorrow. Please keep your enthusiasm and perseverance in the past and work hard! "

Generally speaking, candidates should not be too tough. Here, Xiao Zhang is unconventional and boldly uses provocation to save the crisis. This once again shows that there is no fixed pattern in the interview, and everything depends on whether the candidate can judge the situation, be flexible, and rely on his own real talent and resourcefulness to win success.

Expand the imagination

For the answers to some difficult questions, sometimes candidates have to open their minds, spread their imagination wings, or even be whimsical and whimsical, so that the answers conform to each other's intentions.

An examiner asked, "Our Beijing branch is going to hold a reception, and we want to invite Premier the State Council to attend. Is there any way to invite him? " Please present your plan. "This topic is very strange, but it can test a person's ability to solve problems.

Candidates think a little. Answer:

(1) The theme of the reception must closely revolve around the current hot topics of public opinion, such as high technology, venture capital, anti-corruption, environmental protection, international cooperation, etc. And raise the purpose of reception to the height of the interests of the whole country and nation;

(2) Raise the company's business objectives and image publicity to the height of the interests of the whole country and nation;

(3) Good relations with the secretary around the Prime Minister;

(4) Inviting the heads of large overseas enterprises or associations to be met by the Prime Minister to attend the meeting and arranging to meet at the reception;

(5) Invite representatives of well-known domestic enterprises to attend the meeting;

(6) Invite major media in Beijing to attend the meeting and report.

Judging from the specific measures he answered, the content may not be practical, but it is not difficult to see that the examinee's imagination is very rich and his ideas are very open, so he is well received by the examiner. In fact, when you ask such a question, the examiner doesn't depend on how practical your answer is. The key is to see if you have imagination and correct ways to deal with problems. As long as you think broadly and perform well, you can use talents.
