Affected by this epidemic this year, the general environment is not very good. The gold, silver and silver are not expected, and it is good to have jobs. Many companies freeze HC, and there are a lot of layoffs and closed companies.
At this time, it is good to have a stable job. At the very least, don't compete with those 985/211 graduate students and big manufacturers for the few poor jobs. If the company ’s wages are paid normally, and even pay rises can be achieved, then do it with peace of mind, and do n’t toss about it. Even if you have a lot of dissatisfaction, bear with it, and you will get better after a while. If you have to go, don't say anything naked.
Of course, there are layoffs, company closures, or other reasons, and the need to find a job always exists. In this general environment, it may be relatively difficult to find a satisfactory job. This article focuses on the topic of interviews and talks about what job applicants need to prepare. I hope these can help you break through this cold winter.
resume
First of all, let ’s talk about the resume. The resume is the key to whether you can go to the interview. HR first selects several relatively qualified resumes from hundreds of thousands of resumes. If you want to stand out from it, naturally you need some highlights.
Do n’t be lazy when making a resume, and do n’t use the resume generated on the recruitment website to deliver it. This is something that you need to avoid. You do n’t even have a basic attitude towards work. What are you looking for? In fact, there are many resume templates and tutorials on the Internet, just look for a few and you can make a very beautiful resume. I am not wordy, but I emphasize that the resume must include: personal information, technology stack, work experience, project experience .
Next, I will talk about the areas that need attention and optimization in the resume.
1. It is best to use the PDF format and the PDF file name needs to include the name, job search position, and working years (email is the same) . The compatibility of the PDF format is better, and the problem of garbled characters will not occur. The doc format may appear garbled in different environments, and the experience is not very good.
2. Don't make typos, especially technical professional words . For example, Java, do not write java.
3. In the personal information column, only display the necessary information. Do n’t write anything like hometown and current address, just write the contact number, name, age, etc. In addition, personal advice, it is best to put only one piece of information per line for easy access.
4. As for the data index, when the data is excellent, specific data can be listed . For example, after you optimize a system, QPS is increased from 10,000 to 20,000, which is a big improvement and can be directly quantified. But if after your optimization, from 300 to 600, then write that after optimization, QPS doubled, it will be more appropriate.
5. The project is properly optimized, but don't falsify . For example, you are only responsible for a certain part of the module, but you are very familiar with this module. If you are not familiar with it, prepare in advance, so that you can say that this module has been completed by you, and your resume will be relatively beautiful, but you must be able to list it. Key data. Remember that there is nothing out of nothing, for example, you have never done a spike system, and thought that after reading a few spike system tutorials, you thought you did the same. All beautification is based on current facts.
6. Try to write all the techniques you know on your resume, but pay attention to modifiers . This may have advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you have a higher probability of inviting an interview. Resumes are selected by HR. In most cases, they are searched by keywords, so there are more benefits. The disadvantage is that in the real interview process, you need to test your skills. Generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
7. The description of the project should not be too long, extract keywords, and avoid the noise.
In terms of resume delivery methods, try to take the internal push route, the probability of being invited for an interview will be greater.
Preparation before the interview
Before being invited for an interview, we will all conduct surprise training. Perhaps we focus more on the surprise of technical points and often ignore non-technical preparations, such as company background checks, and some open questions.
This is not very good for interview preparation. Of course, in many cases, this is entirely desirable. But if we want to stand out, we need to prepare more than others. In this section, we will talk about the three places we should focus on.
1. Brush questions
Brushing questions before the interview is a must. I believe most people will do this. The so-called workers must first sharpen their tools if they want to do their best. The brain is our best weapon. Brushing questions can make it sharper.
You may know more about the tools and methods of brushing questions than I do, so I wo n’t go into details. It ’s a little different here. Many times we brush questions for the sake of brushing questions, and we do n’t grasp the point . When brushing questions, I think we should grasp the following two key points:
- 1. Learn to make a difference . Must have a thorough understanding of the problem-solving ideas, can be classified into different scenarios, and learn to find related knowledge points.
- 2. Increase the ability to understand topics . The questions in the question bank are dead, but the interviewer in front of you is a big living person. The questions you ask cannot be exactly the same as the question bank. There must be some differences, but the angle and content of the answer are the same. If you do not understand thoroughly, the result may be unsatisfactory.
Grasping these two key points, we can polish our sharp weapon very well, and will surely be able to do well in the interview. In fact, there are some small tricks for brushing questions. Now many technical platforms, such as the Nuggets, will have gold, silver and gold four face writing essay activities. There are many job-seekers who share the interviews of major interviews, and these contents still have a certain value.
It's not how much the story has value, but the interview content inside has a lot of reference value. More or less reflects the company's interview style and system. Before the interview, you can prepare according to these questions. Answer these questions well and see where your gaps are. If conditions permit, you can find a partner to simulate the interview.
2. About project experience
The project experience can not hide the past problems, involving a lot of content, naturally become the top priority of preparation. But this one is very difficult to prepare. It is more based on the summary in the usual work. The temporary surprise effect will not be ideal, so it is still necessary to develop the habit of daily summary.
The question of project experience may be like this: " Choose a project to talk about the background, your responsibilities, the difficulties encountered and how to solve them? ".
I usually don't develop the habit of summarizing, how to review and prepare for such questions? You can borrow the STAR rule here .
STAR rule is the abbreviation of Situation-Task-Action-Result, the specific meaning is:
- Situation : under what circumstances
- Task : How do you clarify your task
- Action : In response to such situation analysis, what action method did you use?
- Result : What is the result and what did you learn in such a situation
The STAR rule can better help us sort out and tell stories. If you do n’t know how to replay such problems, you may wish to use the STAR rule.
Therefore, regarding the project experience, the projects you think are the most proud and can best reflect your own value are carefully reviewed using the STAR rule, and it is best to display them in the form of data. Practice several times to ensure that the project logic and analysis logic can be clearly expressed.
For project experience, the ability to express and summarize is more important than the project itself . First of all, the interviewer does not know the details of your project or even familiar with your business scenarios. At this time, your ability to summarize and express is more important. You need to express the project plan, the problems encountered in the project, how to solve it, why choose this plan and other related aspects.
In fact, is it important that the project is not bullish? Sometimes it ’s not that important. What responsibilities do you take in it? How much does the project have to do with you? They are all watery things. The value of the reference will not be too high. But your analytical skills, problem-solving ideas, logic, these things are more important to the company.
Project experience is just your past, specific scenarios and specific usage, you need to show some value that you can meet future challenges.
3. Reasons for leaving
Pay attention to the reasons for leaving. This question is the most difficult to answer. To some extent, your answer can reflect your character and personality. If you are a little careless, you will lose everything.
Under normal circumstances, the main answer angle is the new company and the old company. From the perspective of the new company, we can answer from these aspects. The opportunities here are better, there is more room for development, more things can be learned, and treatment is more advantageous. From the perspective of the old company, we can answer from these aspects. The business risk of the old company is relatively high, there is too much overtime, and the individual's body is too much to eat / the family cannot take care of it.
No matter how you answer, you must grasp the basic principles. Do n’t blame the old owners and old colleagues blindly. Even if you have conflicts with them, you need to be reasonable . A slap didn't make a slap, seriously reflecting and admitting his own shortcomings, the young who made no mistake. You need to make the interviewer think you are a reasonable and easy-going person.
Interview skills
I talked about some preparations before the interview. Let's talk about the problems that should be paid attention to in the next interview.
In the interview, you must be clear that you are a passive role . The interviewer will lead the interview. What the interviewer asks and answers, of course, can guide the interviewer to his familiar direction. Remember not to take the lead and turn the interviewer into a passive person. This will do you no good. There is no harm in letting the interviewer speak first, at least no points will be deducted.
There are a lot of details that need to be paid attention to during the interview. This is a long process, and many times need to be adaptable. I will talk about two things, the things we need to pay attention to the most.
1. Introduce yourself
The interview officially begins, and there will usually be a self-introduction. Don't underestimate this self-introduction. Although it takes about half an hour for an interview, basically you decide whether to hire you in the first few minutes. The following is just to verify this conclusion.
When introducing myself, as an interviewer, I may be more nervous or excited, and my brain is blank. If I do n’t know what to say for a time, I will talk a lot of words that are not marginal. To avoid this happening, this does not give The interviewer left a good impression, but wasted the opportunity to leave a good impression on the interviewer.
In the self-introduction, you need to express the points that reflect your own value and ability. These things may not be on your resume, so that the interviewer can understand yourself more clearly and in multiple dimensions . In order to avoid incoherent speech during the interview, you can write the introductory language and recite it several times before the interview.
In addition to introducing yourself simply and accurately, the following errors need to be avoided.
1. Recite your resume . You may make mistakes when introducing yourself. The interviewer can read the things on the resume, and there is no need to recite them again. It is a waste of time. In fact, this mistake was made when I first graduated.
2. Bragging . It can be beautified in moderation, but do n’t brag, everyone will hate braggers, ask yourself if you can? Some people are particularly overly aggressive. They are more powerful than the interviewer. I would like to ask if you are an interviewer, why do you recruit such a person to come in and add yourself?
3. Speak what the other party does not understand . The Internet is huge, with many segments and businesses. During the interview, the interviewer may not be a person in this field, so when introducing certain things, try to express them in plain language, rather than talking about details and professional things, to reflect your own value.
2. Listen to the questions first and then answer them
During the interview, there will be many questions, it is important to understand the questions before answering them. Sometimes understanding is more important than answers. What are we most afraid of in life communication? I am afraid that other people will not answer the question. This rule also applies during the interview.
Before answering, be sure to understand the meaning of the question and why you should ask it . Let me talk about the first one to figure out the meaning of the question. This is relatively simple. Repeat the question in your own words so that the interviewer can confirm that there is no problem with his understanding. Do n’t be afraid that points will be deducted in this way. Often this situation will be a bonus point. Even if the answer is not good, it will make the interviewer think you are the same kind of person. Guessing.
Then just think about why you should ask this question. For some solving problems and open problems, there are often many pits behind this. For example, the question: " As user data increases, what should I do to increase the response speed of the website? ".
Maybe you will answer without thinking: "The whole redis is over". There is nothing wrong with increasing the cache, but your answer is not very good. It is more one-sided.
Instead, some data indicators should be cited. For example, in the case of a small amount of data, the JDK local cache can be used. If the amount of data is large and the conditions permit, you can consider using a third-party cache system such as Redis. The pros and cons of caching.
When answering questions, in many cases, there is no right or wrong answer, only good and bad. There are many answers to the same question , so understand the question and answer it from different angles.
Today I talked about my views from three angles of resume, preparation, and skills. I hope it will be helpful for your interview.
Finally, in the objective environment, we cannot change, we can only change and master ourselves. No matter under what circumstances, do what you should do, and strive to improve yourself, instead of complaining and anxious, they will only make you lose confidence, positive optimism will have a good fighting spirit . I hope that every job seeker can find a satisfactory job. Good luck.
