What exactly is a group face?

What is a group face? A group face is a group of applicants who discuss a problem or case together. The process of gathering face is acting, playing your role well and knowing every step. Let's see what a group face is.

What exactly is 1 1? What is a group face?

If you want to stand out from the crowd, you must first understand what a group face is. Group discussion: the so-called leaderless group discussion is usually the last or penultimate round of the whole interview process, which is suitable for the recruitment of enterprise marketing, sales, management positions and related management trainees. Generally, there are 7-9 applicants in a group. Team members will receive a case or question together, simulate a real work scene for discussion, and finally draw a conclusion.

The advantages of group interview are: first, it saves time; Secondly, let candidates play freely in a relatively relaxed environment, so as to comprehensively examine candidates' language ability, thinking ability and appropriate role in the team.

2. What is the process of group face?

The interviewer will introduce the process and rules first, and most of the group meetings include self-introduction, reading cases, free discussion, concluding speech+supplementary speech, and questions from the interviewer.

3. What does this group visit?

Composition is the most comprehensive ability to examine students, including communication and expression ability, leadership ability, time control ability and so on. In fact, for enterprises and interviewers, the most cost-effective examination form is group interview. Through the 30-minute interview, you can learn about many students' personal experience, expression ability, cooperation ability, competition consciousness and other aspects at one time. For candidates, the most unpredictable and uncontrollable thing is the group face. There are too many uncertain factors in group face, the problem of choosing group face, the preferences of strange classmates and interviewers, and so on. It's beyond my control. When I was lucky, I met my teammates and led everyone to drive the audience. Unfortunately, it was scrapped by pig teammates.

Group topic type:

Generally speaking, it is "resource competition", that is, the topic discussed is very controversial.

Human resources focus:

"Form is greater than content", that is, HR usually pays attention not to the content expressed by team members, but to whether their expression is clear and logical;

HR pays attention to the applicant's previous experience and ability, and pays more attention to the candidate's potential (potential = thinking ability+learning ability);

There is no fixed moderator during the group meeting. The interviewer group composed of two or three HR will not sit in the group, but stand behind or on one side of the group members. Each HR only pays attention to the responsible candidates, and each HR is responsible for 3~4 people.

What should I do when I meet in groups?

1, strong sense of time

First, before entering the interview room, set the mobile phone to flight mode and adjust the screen to be always on. The interviewer said, after the start, turn on the mobile phone timer and enter the countdown (whether you are a timer or not).

Imagine that the interview of ten students is ***30 minutes in total. After deducting the introduction and summary at the beginning, the average speaking time of a student is only two minutes! How to use time effectively, without procrastination or waste, and show yourself as much as possible in these two minutes, while not attracting people's disgust, is a knowledge that needs more practice and practice.

2, high-quality speech

When introducing yourself at the beginning, you should briefly explain your school and name, and focus on your experience close to the job you are applying for (related internship and entrepreneurship competition experience). Because self-introduction is the first impression to the interviewer, he will focus on recording the relevant background information of the students.

When expressing opinions, you must discuss them point by point, refine the language, reduce the acceptance cost of other team members, and let everyone know your thoughts quickly. It is worth noting that group chat should not be regarded as chat, and some colloquial and personalized expressions should be reduced.

3. Pay attention to team interests.

Express yourself appropriately, don't be too conspicuous and don't say nothing. While expressing opinions, we should also promote the progress of the team. When there are differences, we can discuss them, but don't argue. We should keep the group discussion harmonious. Don't discuss in groups, which shows that you don't have a sense of team. It is necessary to understand that enterprises prefer people who can work in teams and promote group unity among groups, which will accelerate the process of forming a unified opinion among groups.

4. Take notes carefully

Listen carefully and take notes when teammates speak to prepare for the final summary. The draft paper is neatly written and will be recycled after the interview, and the interviewer will read it. Although a piece of draft paper can't be a proof to decide whether you will stay or not, the writing of draft paper also represents a person's reaction, recording, thinking and so on when he is on the spot. It is an effective reference for comprehensively judging a student. As long as there is no final result, there will be assessments everywhere, and every step should not be underestimated.

Five roles with clear positioning

Leader problem solver:

Makers and revisers of problem solving framework. The leader is actually the leader of the group, who is responsible for presiding over the overall process of the group. It is necessary to arrange other roles of the group when necessary to ensure that the group completes the discussion in an orderly and efficient manner. This is a high-risk and high-return existence. It is the role that attracts HR's attention most, and it is also the role that most easily exposes its own ability defects.

Timer progress controller:

Friendly reminder, you don't have to bring a watch, but you must have tools that can accurately time. The timer is responsible for arranging the rhythm of group discussion according to the total interview time, not just timing, but strictly controlling the students who deviate from the topic and paying attention to reasonable guidance.

Recorder recorder:

As a person who arranges and records group discussions, he should have a good memory and writing ability. The recorder is responsible for recording the results of the group discussion and reporting to the interviewer on behalf of the team in the last 5 minutes. It requires high shorthand skills and logical thinking skills. It is a role that tests a person's ability to record and organize.

Reporter's summary:

Presenter of group discussion results. Report to the interviewer on behalf of the team in the last 5 minutes. Highlight the overall situation and be able to grasp the context of group discussion in a short time; It requires a lot of logical thinking and expressive ability.

Member team member

Strictly speaking, every team member needs to make constructive comments to make the interviewer notice that you are the one who made the comments.

Find your right role and hold the audience.

Combine your personality and ability, attend more offline group meetings, and find the role that suits you best in practice. Of course, it is really a bit laborious to accumulate experience for yourself by constantly being cannon fodder. Maybe I joined many groups, but I was forced to go in, play and come out.

Therefore, in the usual preparation process, we should also pay attention to thinking about our suitable role. The simplest way is: Wolf! People! Kill! I believe many students have played this game. The structure and layout of werewolf killing are similar to those of leaderless group discussion. In addition to extra time control, werewolf killing is very suitable for students who want to play the role of leader, recorder and reporter in the group. Before the group meeting, playing a game with the friends who are preparing for the interview can not only adapt to the tense atmosphere of the group meeting in advance, but also help you quickly find the role you want to play.

Those little tricks about role-playing

1, be careful as a leader, he dies the fastest.

Most students have a misunderstanding that as long as the leader is a leader, he will definitely stand out in the group discussion and be favored by the interviewer, but he doesn't know that the leader also needs a person who really suits him, so he must be cautious. Let's compare a few points:

Being forced to be a leader, but not putting forward his own logical structure and framework, or his own logic is not good enough, being surpassed by others, leading to being unable to dominate the discussion or being taken away by others.

Lose the initiative, repeat verbosity, interrupt others, and convince others without relying on their own reasons. At this time, it is recommended to let nature take its course and change roles.

Speak for a long time, don't give others a chance to speak, or always stick to your own point of view and don't absorb other people's opinions. Many outstanding people are like this after they succeed as leaders, and then they are directly eliminated. They still feel good about themselves and don't know how to be eliminated.

Indeed, he acted as a leader and dominated the group discussion, but his own thinking was wrong or he lacked a sense of purpose, which led the group to go astray. At this time, the whole group may be eliminated.

2. Other members cannot live alone.

As an ordinary group member, it is indisputable but unremarkable. If the whole group behaves well and a rising tide lifts all boats, ordinary members will also be favored, but if someone is a demon in the discussion, it is difficult for ordinary members to be immune. As a team member, you should pay attention to the following points:

Don't listen to other people's opinions. When others are talking, they always write their own things and completely ignore other people's opinions.

Interrupt others suddenly, not tactfully;

Deny others directly, instead of paying attention to language skills;

Obsessed with details, repeatedly repeating some of his own detailed views, unable to grasp the key points when speaking;

Basically didn't speak, which is the most common. If you have a speech, you just repeat it. Most people were eliminated because of this;

The pen and paper on the table, just move your mouth, is a typical impetuous performance.

Generally speaking, the group interviewer examines whether you have a sense of teamwork, not who is the leader, so students should find their own position according to their actual situation. Group interview is to examine team consciousness, teamwork is very important, teamwork is very important, teamwork is very important! Say the important things three times!

What exactly is a group face? 2 Why is it a group face?

Because group face can best simulate the environment of group decision-making when encountering problems in real work, in this environment, we can see a lot of characteristics of a person through behavior, whether he has leadership and responsibility, whether he can communicate well with others, coordinate and motivate the team, and whether he can complete the task well under high pressure.

In addition, through a person's speech, we can well see his thinking ability, communication ability and expression ability. Many people die collectively because they don't know what the group is for.

Remember, this is a holographic simulation of real working conditions.

Someone asked, I am the leader, why didn't I end up?

It's simple. If the project fails, the person in charge will take responsibility. By the same token, if a group discussion is confusing from beginning to end and ultimately fails to complete the set tasks, who will bear the responsibility? It must be the leader! what do you think?

Some people may say, I think we are very good and creative.

However, classmate, under the real circumstances, the deadline given by the customer is dead, and it will be a loss if it is finished. This is real money, okay? If you delay your customer, your customer will also delay his customer. If his customer wants to make him look good, he will ask you to watch it twice.

No matter how simple it is, finish what you have to do first. If you don't finish it on time, everything is nonsense. Therefore, if you don't have the necessary qualities for a leader yourself, don't skip the leadership. If you fail, you will be the first person to die.

The same problem, and the timer.

Some students read a book and found that the timer is a good role. Just bring a watch, you can find yourself an identity and become a leader if you are not careful. A large number of face books have led to the recent group meeting, and a large number of people are carrying watches that they don't know who to borrow.

Dear students, when you take the initiative to make a timer, if you don't finish the discussion because of time, you have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of mastering the rhythm and advancing the process. The official will definitely question whether you have taken up the responsibility of being a timer, reminding and pushing everyone. If not, I'm sorry, you have to bear the consequences.

I once met a classmate who jumped on the timer as soon as he got up and threw a huge watch on the table, and then he didn't look at it from beginning to end. Halfway through the discussion, someone asked him how long it took him to remember that he had never noticed the time. In this case, if you were a face officer, would you let him go?

Some people may ask, how can we ensure the completion in such a limited time?

A group of seven people, seven heads and seven mouths, seven ideas are chattering. Whether the task can be completed well depends mainly on the leadership.

First of all, leaders should have good logical thinking and be able to lead everyone to quickly find the core issues and establish a logical framework.

Then we should fully mobilize everyone's enthusiasm in the discussion so that everyone can contribute to the team. (If someone is crooked, correct it in time; If someone is verbose, remind them in time; If someone has a good idea, give him affirmation and lead everyone on the right path. )

The above requirements are what we usually call good leadership and teamwork skills, excellent logical thinking skills and communication skills.

If you don't guarantee that you have such a high quality, don't jump to the leadership. Everyone is not a fool. If there is such an excellent person in the group, unless there is trouble from JP, everyone will automatically let him be the leader. It's not your fault that you can't be a leader, it's your fault to jump around.

If you can't be a leader, is there no way out?

No, you don't have a leader's brain, but you can have eyes to find leaders. When you find someone who is particularly suitable to be a leader, you can actively recommend him, which is also a contribution to the team. If there is a suitable candidate, actively assisting the leader is also a very good team player. He who knows himself knows, and he who knows himself knows. We all like such people as our colleagues, and your face officer is no exception.

Why should the group emphasize the ability of logical thinking? Innovative thinking ability? Communication skills? Teamwork ability? How are they reflected?

Again, the group face is a complete simulation of real work.

Logical thinking ability refers to whether you can quickly find the key problem (that is, the core and essence of the task you are facing) in the messy information, and whether you can deconstruct the problem in a logical form after finding it (that is, what we call an analytical framework).

Logical thinking determines the speed of your progress. If you have a clear logical thinking framework, the whole seminar will be particularly smooth, and the details of each part can be coordinated according to the time. (This is similar to writing a paper. When the outline came out, the article was completed by 30%. )

Why emphasize speed? Because you can only pass if you hand in your homework on time. Only when the work is delivered on time will the customer pay for us according to the contract.

Here we must talk about the application of the model. Nowadays, after the popularity of face-to-face interviews, people will come up with SWOT whenever they encounter any problems.

Dear students, don't think that knowing SWOT is natural and awesome. All wet! SWOT is for beginners to popularize science, and those who really engage in management research build their own logical framework according to the problems. You can use it if you want.

However, be sure to observe how these frameworks are used. Whether the framework you use can really explain your problem. SWOT is a comprehensive analysis tool made by the subject in the face of strategic decision-making, integrating his own resources, capabilities, weaknesses, opportunities and risks. It cannot be used to analyze decisions or plans. You got it? ! Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is also. It doesn't matter if you don't know, study harder and don't teach others to help themselves.
