Do’s and don’ts of introduction before interview

In Europe, many multinational companies and groups entrust well-known consulting companies or recruitment offices to act as agents when recruiting employees from the society. In the eyes of business owners, although this recruitment method is more expensive, it is professional, authoritative and fair, and is a trustworthy way.

Recently, Mr. Wells, an expert from the Belgium Huston Recruitment Office, put forward a series of reference suggestions on how to adapt to the rules of the market game and improve the chances of success for candidates.

Don’t list your academic qualifications one by one

Mr. Wells said that job seekers should first figure out what career is best for them, as well as their interests and strengths. Then you should browse and collect a large number of articles about companies related to your major, and be good at digging out potential information from media reports, because the reorganization and relocation of a company may mean recruitment opportunities. Once the target is determined, you should contact the relevant company directly by email, or even communicate by phone.

The first thing a job seeker needs is a resume and a cover letter. Mr. Wells believes that a resume of one or two pages is enough to "sell" yourself. Long resumes are often put aside by recruiters. Your resume should avoid typos, typos, and spelling errors; it should highlight your abilities. However, do not list your long-past academic qualifications one by one, but you can highlight the important institutions you have worked for or the well-known professors you have studied under.

Your resume should not be flashy or embellished with any patterns to avoid being rejected by the company's server as a virus. When sending your resume, you should attach a brief cover letter outlining your goals and aspirations, and then briefly describe your experience and abilities. Don't send the same cover letters to multiple companies at the same time, otherwise they will be ignored.

When applying for a company, you should read the company's website repeatedly beforehand and pay attention to their words and expressions. If words like "challenge" and "competition" appear many times, the job seeker may wish to explain in the letter that he likes "challenge" and is not afraid of "competition."

During the interview, shoes are very important

Mr. Wells said: "We pay great attention to the behavior of the applicant. When the applicant comes to the room, I will pay attention to whether he "Sit down when I ask him to sit down."

Many job seekers don't know that recruiters are particularly careful about clothing. Everyone knows that you can't wear a floral shirt and colorful socks to an interview. Although a suit and tie may seem a bit serious, they are still the best attire.

Shoes are very important. In the eyes of many recruiters, shoes reflect a person's personality. If the uppers of leather shoes are worn, it will be seen as a person who does not pay attention to neatness and informality; if the leather shoes are too fashionable, it will be seen as a person who likes to attract attention, which is very detrimental to job hunting in banks, consultants and other jobs that require a dignified appearance. . In addition, the color of the socks should match the color of the leather shoes, not the suit.
