How to practice a mock interview for yourself?

For fresh graduates or job seekers with little interview experience, mock interview is an effective way to improve interview results quickly. Through the simulated and formal interview process, job seekers can feel the atmosphere of the interview, know what questions may be asked in the interview, and get suggestions for improvement from the simulated interviewer. After many simulated interview drills, the interview performance of job seekers can go up a storey still higher.

If you want to have a mock interview with yourself, you can practice from the following aspects:

1, introduce yourself

State-owned enterprises, foreign enterprises, private enterprises and enterprises of different sizes have different interview requirements, so you should prepare at least three different versions of self-introduction, namely 1 minute version, 2-minute version and 3-minute version, so that you can cope with various scenarios.

If you want to interview in a foreign company, you should also be prepared to introduce yourself in English. If you want to apply for a job across industries, you should fully consider the industry attributes and prepare a self-introduction that conforms to the industry style. For example, to apply for the Internet industry, you can take a lively route in self-introduction; When applying for financial institutions such as banks, your self-introduction should be rigorous and pragmatic.

After you are ready to introduce yourself, you can practice in front of the mirror, practice many times and repeatedly, and strive to express yourself most accurately, clearly and logically.

2, problem rehearsal

Based on your resume and job information, you can predict what questions the interviewer may ask and prepare corresponding answers.

In fact, there are "routines" for the interviewer to ask questions, including personal information (such as what your shortcomings are), work experience (such as what you did and gained during your internship), personality hobbies (such as what kind of person you think you are), job application (such as why you chose our company) and sometimes hot topics. Even if you can't guess all the interview questions, the process of thinking can help you clear your mind and give you a "bottom" in the interview center.

3, all-round inspection

In the mock interview, you can make a three-dimensional and all-round evaluation of yourself in front of the mirror. You can imagine an interviewer interviewing you. He is observing whether your clothes are dignified and decent, whether your expression is calm and confident, whether you have some small moves, whether your experience can match the position, whether your personality conforms to the team style, whether you are passionate about the position, and so on.

You can also use your mobile phone or pad to record the simulated interview process. You can find your own shortcomings in the process of watching videos repeatedly, such as not making eye contact with the interviewer when you speak, not stopping before answering, and so on.

Step 4 find someone to play the interviewer

You can also find 1 or above people with workplace experience (preferably senior or HR department) as interviewers. After the simulation, you can ask whether your interview performance is ok and whether there are some improvements.

Because you can't be sure what style the interviewer of the company you are applying for belongs to, whether he is logical, passionate, eloquent or precious, the same interview performance will get different comments and feedback from interviewers with different styles. Therefore, we can find more people to act as interviewers, and learn the skills and methods of communicating with various interviewers in this process.

Step 5 practice speaking skills

In the mock interview, every answer should follow the principle of "30 seconds to 3 minutes". Try to explain the detailed answer to a question in 3 minutes, and try to give a wonderful and clear answer to a simple question in 30 seconds.

At the same time, you should also follow the "70-30 principle" in your conversation, and spend 70% of your time talking and 30% of your time listening, so as to have a benign interaction with the interviewer. Because simply talking too much is easy to digress, easy to have no logic and no focus; Simply speaking, too little, it is easy for the interviewer to misunderstand that he has poor expression skills and no experience. It is most appropriate to say neither much nor much.

In an interview, you should always use such related words as "first, second, last" and "first, second and third" so that the interviewer can easily understand the order and logic of what you describe.
