Why do you always get brushed in interviews? How can you improve it?

Why do you always get brushed in the interview

First, the steps of the interview

Knowing the interview steps in advance can help ease the tension and make you know what you are doing. Generally speaking, the interview steps are as follows:

1. Knock on the door to enter the room/guide the room

2. Take the initiative to greet

3. Listen to the introduction and topic

4. Answer questions

5. Stand up and thank you and leave the examination room

Usually, a staff member will guide you during the interview, or call the next candidate after the previous candidate's interview. When walking to the interview door:

If the door is open, you can ask: May I come in, please? I'm candidate * *;

if the door is closed, pay attention to knocking.

after entering the interview place, you should take the initiative to greet the interviewer. For example: Good afternoon, examiners!

if it's 11 am? After 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock in the afternoon, it is recommended to speak louder.

Because being an examiner is hard, you are usually tired and sleepy around noon and 3 pm. If you have a louder voice, you can let the examiner focus on you, which is also beneficial to scoring.

2. Requirements for interview language

Phonetics, speaking speed, tone and volume should give people comfort, so that the interviewer can hear your answers clearly.

bogey:

the voice is too loud or too small

the tone is blunt and indifferent

the speech speed is too fast or too slow

the speech is slurred

the standard of Putonghua

In fact, not only we, but also many countries attach great importance to the interview.

For example, a Japanese company has a provision that it will not be hired if the voice is as light as a mosquito, the conversation is irrelevant, the speech is not cadenced, and the interview can't answer questions neatly.

Third, the nonverbal requirements of the interview

A survey conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles shows that

55% of an individual's impression on others depends on nonverbal communication, 7% on words and 38% on voice.

So when we emphasize the interview, we emphasize to leave a good impression on others during the interview.

your facial expression, walking posture, sitting posture, standing posture, gestures, eyes and appearance are all very important when you enter the interview examination room.

For example, whether you sit down with your chair back or with your back straight and your body leaning forward will give the examiner different impressions. Standing up straight and leaning forward can show that you are listening attentively.

bogey: interrupting casually, frequent catchphrases, nonstandard Mandarin, incorrect foreign language expression, and conceited tone.

control your emotions, calmly answer embarrassing questions, don't argue with examiners, and try to avoid being controlled by examiners.

For example, if you encounter a stressful question, you should clear your mind, control your emotions, don't argue with the examiner, and just give an answer calmly.

For another example, regarding professional questions,

You can't say: Examiner, you are wrong, what should be correct?

instead, I should say: examiner, I have different views on your point of view?

Body language:

Proper body language can play a positive role. For example: sitting slightly forward, nodding and smiling knowingly.

inappropriate body language can also have negative effects. For example, many students will shake their hair while talking when they are nervous, look at their watches or answer their mobile phones during interviews, cross their legs, and keep shaking their legs.

Audio-visual requirements:

Eyes and facial expressions are very important, and eyes can accurately convey your psychology: timidity, self-confidence or anger

Candidates and examiners should maintain normal eye contact and dare to face the examiner's eyes.

avoid staring at an examiner for a long time

listen carefully to the examiner's speech (listen to the full content)

In short, keep a natural, friendly, cordial and easy-going attitude, and be generous and smiling on the whole.

4. Difficulties in the interview

1. Mental stress

Countermeasures: Practice more before the interview and give positive psychological hints.

2. If you encounter unclear questions

Countermeasures: You can ask the interviewer to read something unclear again, or ask: Are you talking about * * questions? If you really can't, you can honestly answer: Sorry examiner, your question is beyond my knowledge, and I really can't.

3. Put your foot in your mouth

Countermeasures: It doesn't matter if you don't violate professional principles. If you violate professional principles or offend people, stop and say:? I'm sorry, examiner. What I said just now is a little biased. What's the correct statement?

4. Long silence

Countermeasures: Many large enterprises attach great importance to employees' psychological state, development potential and overall quality, and some examiners will leave you alone in silence to examine your psychological endurance, so you should be able to bear loneliness and wait patiently.

5. Two examiners ask questions at the same time

Countermeasures: If there is an examiner, answer the examiner's questions first; If not, you should visually observe the situation on the spot and answer the questions of experienced examiners first.

V. Matters needing attention in the interview

1. Do not hold negative opinions on your alma mater and previous work units;

2. Maintain appropriate flexibility;

3. No one can accompany you for the interview;

4. Don't give out the names of acquaintances;

5. Don't talk about the treatment;

6. Arrive at the waiting area of the interview site more than ten minutes early;

7. There are various interview methods;

8. Summarize the interview experience and lessons.

the magic weapon for winning an interview:

Answer questions in an orderly and logical way

Speak at a moderate speed

Face the examiner with a smile and confidence

6. Other interview methods

Besides the regular one-to-one/one-to-many interviews, there may be leading group interviews, telephone interviews, role-playing and so on.

Matters needing attention in interview without leading group:

1. Grasp the opportunity to speak;

2. The answer itself is not important, but the process of stating the reasons for your answer is extremely important.

3. You should have a global concept, and there is no leader in the discussion. You should find opportunities to become the actual leader.

4. Speak in an orderly way, refute others with reason, evidence and restraint, and be tolerant.

5. Don't be talkative or taciturn.

Special reminder:

Don't interrupt impolitely

Don't try to overwhelm others with abstruse theories

Being a spokesman doesn't mean success, and you can't be complacent

Group discussion can't be understood as a life-and-death situation, but as a team

Telephone interview:

1. Choose a quiet place to answer the phone;

2. Pay attention to daily etiquette;

3. Pay attention to the interview? Important magic weapon? ;

4. Ask one or two questions appropriately;

5. Thank you for calling and express your desire to join.

Role-playing:

For example, the unit sends you to the grass-roots unit for investigation, and the leaders of the grass-roots unit ask you to make an unrealistic report in order to give a good impression on the superior leaders. What should you do?

On-site presentation:

For example, students majoring in normal universities apply for jobs in schools. Many schools will give two hours of preparation time, and then give lectures to students or teachers in the teaching and research section.

Casual chat:

When the leader is absent from the recruiting unit, the personnel department staff will chat with you casually.

Eat a working meal:

Invite the interviewer to the canteen for an interview after a working meal. In the state of eating, people are more relaxed, and it is easier to expose shortcomings at this time, so pay special attention. In short, there are many ways to interview, which we should sum up through continuous study and practice, and I hope that today's sharing will be helpful to you. Why is the job interview brushed

Resume link

There are hundreds of resumes a day. How to choose? I usually choose universal suffrage first, and then confirm the list in the second and third rounds.

Universal suffrage generally depends on the level of knowledge and ability, such as the use of some software tools, some technical skills, and resumes with only professional achievements, no social practice, and no product exploration and practice, so don't look closely. Almost everyone writes about the awards. Those who win an award every year have written a lot of awards, which are similar to third-class scholarships and second-class scholarships, so the points are reduced.

Someone asked, is the major important? Yes, the computer major. Relatively speaking, the basic knowledge may be a little stronger, but we don't just look at the major. Product managers have a variety of majors. We went to dinner on the night of the interview, and a table of product managers, including Chinese, fire protection, solar physics and education. Major is difficult to change, but self-study and participation in social practice can be decided by yourself.

Read your resume in the second round. If you have internship experience in an Internet company, you will get extra points. If you change companies after 1-2 months of internship, you will lose points; If you set up your own team to carry out product practice and go online, you will get extra points; In particular, those who participated in the product practice of the interview company itself will get extra points, such as interviewing Xunlei, and they will be the administrator of Xunlei product forum themselves, which is more likely to get interview opportunities.

The third round of reading resumes is a comparison between strong and weak. The love for the position of product manager shown in resumes will be passed after years of theoretical study and practice. I am a Virgo who is difficult to judge the product resume. It is not easy for college students to find a job. In order to be efficient, I will pass it first, give a written test opportunity and speak with my strength.

the typo in the resume will be severely deducted.

I think of a classmate of Chinese University of Science and Technology who interviewed in YY school last year. He listed dozens of books of relevant product managers that he had read, and he was impressed so far. It takes courage to list the bibliography. The interviewer will ask questions randomly. If he has not read them, or can't remember them, he will be self-defeating.

group meeting

group meeting is a difficult link for both the interviewer and the applicant. In fact, it is a reflection of small-scale project management, which can examine many abilities and qualities such as leadership, voice expression, team assistance, analysis and insight, listening ability, logical thinking, time management, initiative and self-confidence. Multiple roles in the group, leader, time controller, recorder and summarizer? Each has his own responsibilities, and everyone can position himself according to his own characteristics. Once the division of labor is determined, remember to do his own job.

The characters that are easy to be erased in the group face are: weak leaders, irresponsible time managers, gushing self-expressers, rude and savage interruptors, speakers who summarize first but make weak statements, silent people who have no sense of participation, and guys who are hated by most people?

One-on-one interview session

The following points are easy to fail in one-on-one interview session. Here again, this article is just BLUES' personal opinion, for reference only. Don't take this article face to face. If it is not applicable, you will not be responsible.

Everything written on your resume must be true and you know it very well. When asked about some skilled basic knowledge and some personal-led practical projects on your resume, as the person in charge, you can't tell the project process clearly, and some project details will be severely deducted.

Just today, a classmate asked me how to answer questions about the details of several used products. There may be some logic, for example, from the version upgrade of the product to the details, from the comparison of the same function of several products, or from the interaction of different types of users; You can even hand-draw the prototype of the details you think are good, and explain them while painting.

Eyes flashing during the interview, and those who are not confident enough are easily brushed off. For the interviewer's eye contact, the interviewed students need to respond positively, and don't look around because of nervousness.

if you don't know much about the company's products, you will be deducted. For the company interviewed, it is better to know in advance. Even if you are not a loyal user, you still need to do some homework.

if you don't listen, you don't understand the problem, or you don't understand it, you will be easily brushed off. For questions that you don't understand very well, you can frankly say that you don't understand very well, and you can try to answer them. For example, repeat the interviewer's question first and make sure you understand what the interviewer wants to ask. Don't start talking without understanding the problem, don't talk nonsense, don't digress, don't be too nervous if you can't answer one or two questions, even if you are at work, you will encounter problems that are difficult to solve. Just have your own ideas to solve them.

There are very few APPs installed on your mobile phone, or you like an APP and often use it, but you can't tell the core advantages of the app, the difference between it and similar products, and you can't answer when you ask about the details of a certain interface or process. Why does your resume always sink into the sea?

1 Choose a company that is higher than your own level.

Don't look down on your eyes. Choose a company that is in line with your school and your own ability, and the chances of online application will be much greater. Under the same conditions (such as schools), HR will focus on who is more suitable for the company rather than who is better.

2 Too many applications or too few applications

The result of too many applications is that you don't understand the company and the position, or you fill in the contents carelessly, which leads to being brushed; The result of applying too little is that there may be suitable positions that will pass by.

3 Forging information

Some students may fill in false information with luck. Don't take risks. All companies will have background checks. You may not pass this pass if you fill in false information. You can leave it blank, but you can't. After all, honesty is a very important principle. Be sure to check the basic information after filling it out!

4 Different companies have the same application content

All the contents on your resume need to be revised according to different companies and industries, and the most suitable internship experience and qualification certificate should be selected to fill in; In the process of online application, some companies will ask some questions, and the so-called unrepeatable is the answer? Not popular? . We should have our own unique features and be more persuasive.

I suggest that before applying, you should:

sort out your target industries and positions under the condition of unclear and limited self-awareness and industry awareness;

sort out your three or four years' college experience and evaluate the gold content;

evaluate your own time and ensure the maximum capacity of sea investment under quality.
