HR teaches you tips for successful interviews

In fact, your resume is just a stepping stone during the interview process. How you communicate with the interviewer after entering the door is what really determines whether you are hired. The key. I will observe something I want to know in just a few minutes of communication in the first round of interviews. For candidates who are interviewing for a sales position, I would also like to share my feelings on how to communicate with the interviewer.

The image and temperament of the interviewer

Sometimes I often joke with the company HR, saying that a candidate opens the door and walks in front of me, and then When I sat down and said the first sentence, I had already decided in my heart whether he would stay or go. Is it so amazing? In fact, judging from the results of my interviews over the years, this is really the case. There is a saying that can explain this phenomenon well, that is, "Appearance comes from the heart."

The candidates I hope to see are dignified, approachable, trustworthy, cheerful, and well-behaved people. This kind of person will leave a good impression on both the interviewer and future clients. Anyone with a frosty face, a carefree look, a weird outfit, a swaying posture, or a cool hairstyle are all my favorites.

Interviewers must be proactive

We are recruiting for sales positions, so we must have a proactive attitude. Therefore, I feel bad for anyone who enters the interview room and sees me ignoring him and just standing there like a wooden block at a loss. Some girls looked quite pretty at first glance, but they never smiled after sitting down and had a sullen face from beginning to end. These types of candidates are so reserved when facing strangers, how can they do sales in the future!

And some young men are very good, they come in with a cheerful face, take the initiative to say hello, and insist on shaking hands, and can Liven up the interview atmosphere by making jokes and other methods. Some girls give people an extremely gentle and approachable feeling, with a smile on their lips and a youthful look on their faces from beginning to end. For this type of interviewer, even if their other qualities are average, I have the urge to let them advance to the next round of interviews.

Before the interview, you must understand the company you are applying for in detail.

During the interview, there was a student who made me laugh and cry. I asked him why he chose our company A, and he replied that actually I know your company B is... your company B has very good... I had to interrupt him and tell him that we are company A, are you in the wrong place? .

It is true that there are not many cases where the company name is misremembered, but there are many people who dare to come for an interview without knowing anything about the company they are applying for. I have to admire their courage. Some people don't know anything about the company's industry, products, customer groups, company's development history, company's competitors, or company's market strategy, so they can talk about how they plan to improve your company's performance.

So, no matter what position you are interviewing for, you must do the minimum homework. You can learn a lot about the company by spending two hours online before the interview. You can also be targeted during the interview. Speaking some internal language of the company you are applying for at the right time will greatly increase the interviewer's impression of you. Good impression.

Pay attention to details during the interview process

Because we are interviewing for a sales position, we must pay special attention to details. A good salesperson must have a strong sense of empathy, service awareness, and resilience. I never ask questions to examine these things, because everyone will say that they are good at empathy, have high stress resistance, etc., and will come up with a series of true or false facts to prove it.

During the interview chat, I would deliberately rub my neck with my hands. I found that some people would be very sensitive to this and ask with concern: "Interviewer, are you feeling uncomfortable? ". And there are some people who almost make me rub their necks red, but they are still talking about how they are good at putting themselves in someone else’s shoes.

For this kind of person, do you believe that he can really think from the customer's perspective when he is on the client side?

During the interview, I would deliberately drop my pen at the interviewer's feet. Some people would He picked it up naturally and put it in front of me, while some people turned a blind eye and pretended not to have seen it at all, and continued to talk about how they were happy to help others. Do you believe that this kind of person has a strong sense of service? Who is God when he is with customers in the future? ;
