School recruitment

At the end of the business training, each student came to the stage to give a report at the closing ceremony. The PPT template of the report is unified, and one of them requires everyone to talk about "personal advantages and disadvantages". Sometimes this question will be expressed by "personal advantages and disadvantages".

This problem is also common in general recruitment interviews and open selection. As a non-professional HR, I often greet candidates like this during interviews.

Once, a business manager talked about his three shortcomings in his report, because he only talked about one advantage and three disadvantages, and I was particularly impressed. He said, "My weakness is my poor memory and forgetfulness." I forgot the other one.

These two shortcomings are fatal enough for me. In the workplace, imagine which manager or company wants an employee with "poor memory and forgetfulness". If you give him a special job, will you be at ease?

New graduates don't have much workplace experience. I guess he magnified his shortcomings and asked, You said you have a poor memory and forgetfulness. Please give me an example of forgetfulness recently.

He didn't think of the example behind this "shortcoming" at the moment, so I suggested, "Did you lose something in a taxi, or did you forget your key when you went out?" Or something else? ..... "He thought about it and said," For example, mom called to ask her what to eat for breakfast or lunch? I often can't remember.

I smiled. My daughter eats the school house at noon every day and goes home at night to ask her what she ate at noon or at her grandmother's house at night. She will probably answer me "forgot". In fact, this conversation between mother and child or mother and daughter about "what to eat" is a formal concern. As a child, this person is mostly indifferent to this question, and the answer is perfunctory. It is not that he (she) has a bad memory. For example, when I first started working, my mother asked me almost every day when I would go to work. Now I often ask my daughter when to finish school. Today she tells you, tomorrow you will ask, it's a daily conversation, which doesn't mean that my mother or I have a bad memory.

I often show off my "good memory". When I think I have a good memory, I actually give myself a psychological hint. I want to have a good memory, and "good memory" is the state I want. So I became a person with a good memory in the eyes of others and in my own mind.

If you really have a bad memory or forgetfulness, you should also accept your "shortcomings." Only by accepting can you allow yourself to improve and improve, because you can't remember the details of everything, or it's not important that you can't remember it. (m.taiks.com) Ten years ago, a former colleague took a taxi and left a computer with more than 10,000 yuan in it. Fortunately, he found it later. When others despised him, he said, "I don't believe it when you are not careless?" I still remember his eyes.

On talking about one's "strengths and weaknesses", the advice given by professionals is: don't talk about more than three strengths (specifically or emphatically); It is not uncommon to talk about only one shortcoming.

Therefore, as a professional, when you have the opportunity to talk about your strengths and weaknesses in public, talk more about your strengths to enhance your self-confidence; As for the shortcomings, one is enough. Some "shortcomings" that you are picky and dig out through "competing for private words" are likely to be magnified countless times in others, thus affecting your so-called "career". Because, in this world, many so-called managers love to find fault with others.

Just like me before.

—————————————————————— the dividing line.

PS: The following is from the network.

"Your advantages and disadvantages" examines the examinee's correct understanding of himself and whether he can evaluate himself comprehensively and objectively. The answer to this question can be seen whether the candidates are confident or arrogant and inferior.

Although the quality of the answer is a personal subjective evaluation, which is greatly influenced by personal self-confidence and value orientation, and the description of the quality may be inconsistent with the actual situation (such as the above situation), your statement will affect the examiner's judgment of your ability to some extent.

1, "avoid reality and be empty", talk about trivial shortcomings, and don't be too honest to expose the major defects of your ability structure.

In addition, there is another way of "speculation", that is, your own "safety shortcomings", that is, those shortcomings that are shortcomings in some occasions, but may be advantages in other occasions. For example, it is difficult for you to get along with those who are irresponsible for your work, and you often delay your work because you demand perfection.

But this "security loophole" can easily make experienced examiners think that you are "glib", so use it with caution!

2. When talking about advantages, we should pay attention to expression, expression and intonation. Please keep a low profile. Sometimes you can express your hope and efforts to "go up a storey still higher";

When talking about your own shortcomings, don't stop at the shortcomings themselves, but focus on your determination and actions to overcome them.

Don't generalize, you can explain it in detail with examples, although the examiner has no clear requirements.
