In the previous article, we talked about some basic interview skills, then we will talk about some basic interview skills about HR
interview skills.
How to pass the HR interview?
HR is usually the last side of a programmer's interview. There is little chance of rationalizing people, but there are still people who fall on this last level. We will analyze how to deal with HR from the perspective of HR.
The purpose of HR
The HR aspect is often the last hurdle to control the quality of talents. Unlike the previous technical aspects, the HR aspect tends to focus on employee risk assessment and basic employee quality.
Recruitment risk assessment, this part is to assess whether the candidate is stable, will bring additional management risks, and whether they are immediately competent for the job. For example, frequent job-hopping will bring stability risks.
HR will carefully consider this, such as In the interview, the candidates showed the potential of leverage . HR will worry that the candidate will have difficulty cooperating with others or disobeying management, which will bring management risks. For example, although the country clearly stipulates that there should be no gender or age in recruitment Such discrimination, but an older married woman may have a child in the near future and may have long-term maternity leave. HR will also make an assessment.
Employee quality assessment, this part assesses whether the candidate has the basic qualities of the workplace, whether he has basic communication skills, whether he has team spirit and a sense of cooperation, etc., for example, a candidate who is introverted by the discipline inspection committee, HR may have seven communication skills doubt.
Therefore, in communicating with HR, try to maintain a steady, positive and optimistic attitude, and avoid exposing character defects such as rhetoric, negative energy, impetuousness, etc.
Frequently asked questions about HR
Your career plan for the next 3-5 years?
Purpose: This question is to examine the candidate's ability to plan for the future. The main idea is to use the candidate's plan to smell the candidate's attitude towards work, stability and pursuit of technology.
Analysis: Be sure to reflect the pursuit of technology, contribution to the team, and attitude toward work in your answer. Don’t talk about fake things, or salary, position, and other things that are too utilitarian, and it’s best to reflect you If you are a newcomer who has been enrolled in school or who has been working for a few years, it is best not to involve the topic of entrepreneurship. On the one hand, newcomers in the workplace plan to start a business in a few years. This is unrealistic, which means that candidates cannot be realistic On the other hand, it shows that the stability of candidates is not enough.
Suggest three parts:
- First of all, I said that I have considered this issue (with a plan) and how to talk about my current situation (combined with reality).
- Then, starting from the work itself, talk about how you can do your job well, how to contribute to the team, how to help lead other members of the team to create more value, and how to help the team expand its influence.
- Finally, starting from learning, talk about how you will improve your domain knowledge, how to improve your professional capabilities, and how to feed back your team.
As for whether you want to be a technical leader or a technical expert, it depends on your own preferences.
How to treat overtime? (996)
Purpose: To examine the candidate's ability to withstand stress and sense of responsibility.
Analysis: This question is almost necessary. Although the 996ICU incident has caused a lot of noise, the official attitude is very ambiguous. It only verbally criticizes and never takes actual actions. It basically tacitly approves the violation of the labor law by the company, except for a few foreign companies that are basically not found in China. To a company that does not work overtime, so in this interview question, try to reflect your willingness to sacrifice your time to help the team and the company, and you must emphasize your sense of responsibility. If it is really meaningless to work overtime, study hard How to use VScode to brush LeetCode is the right way.
Suggest:
- Divide overtime into emergency overtime and long-term overtime
- For urgent overtime work, it means that this is a situation that every company will encounter, and that I am willing to sacrifice time to help the company and the team
- For long-term overtime, if you work overtime for a long time, you will hone your skills and improve your efficiency. If you work overtime for a long time, you will help the team find problems and use automated tools or more efficient collaboration processes to improve the efficiency of the entire team. Help everyone get rid of overtime.
Of course, even if you improve the efficiency of the team, you will still be assigned more tasks. Overtime is often just for the purpose, but you can’t say it, especially some candidates who strongly say that they do not accept long-term overtime, in fact, you can answer It’s more euphemistic, unless you’re really not interested in this company. If you don’t take entry into this company as your first goal, it’s better to be a high profile.
What do you do when faced with a lot of work that exceeds your own capacity and has limited time?
Purpose: To examine the candidate's time management and ability to handle a large number of tasks, and of course some communication skills will also be involved.
Analysis: The work content of programmers may not be writing code most of the time, but dealing with various meetings, requirements and communication. Usually it is a state of work overload. Faced with the above problems, it is not recommended to work overtime. Solve, because the main inspection is your time management ability and communication skills, these factors should be reflected in the answer.
Suggest:
- Divide a large number of tasks into urgent and important, important but not urgent, urgent but not important, unimportant and not urgent, and complete the above tasks in turn, which reflects the time management ability.
- Communicate with your own leader to slow down the implementation or cut off unimportant tasks, or assign them to newcomers in the group for processing, which reflects the communication skills here.
Why did you come to Beijing to develop in Shanghai before?
Purpose: To examine the stability and career choices of candidates.
Analysis: This problem generally occurs when the last job is in a different place. HR is mainly worried that candidates may be unstable when changing jobs in different places, and there is a risk of leaving the job in the short term. At this time, it is not recommended to say "There are many Internet companies in Beijing, and opportunities Many" words (co-authoring Beijing is good for job-hopping?), the answer best reflects your own stability, such as "girlfriend is in Beijing, long-term away, ready to come to Beijing to develop together", "home in Beijing, return to Beijing to develop", etc. Wait, the subtext is that it will develop in Beijing in the future and will not swing back and forth between many places.
Why did you leave your last company?
Purpose: To examine the reasons for resignation and assess the risk of candidates’ resignation.
Analyzing this question is often asked when changing jobs. At this time, do not complain about the previous company or your previous boss. Try to answer from the perspective of career development, highlighting your stability and determination to learn and rise, as for some sensitivity. Topics, such as too much overtime and too low salary can also be discussed. After all, your job-hopping appeal is to solve the problems encountered by the previous company, but you can’t touch the bottom line problem just mentioned, and don’t talk about it.
Suggest:
- Resigned due to low wages, far from home, excessive overtime, low technical content, etc.
- Because the time spent on the road far away from home is too much, it is better to use it for charging, because too much overtime leads to no time for charging, unable to improve and so on.
In addition to not having negative energy and complaints, this part can be said frankly.
Do you have any other salary offers?
Purpose: This part evaluates whether it is possible to join other companies in a short time.
Analysis: In many cases, it is not that a candidate perfectly meets the requirements of a position. Of course, HR wants a candidate with better skills, less money, and more matching skills, but candidates generally have such small problems.
For example, your performance can be competent for the current position, but this position is not very urgent. HR may use you as a spare tire to find a more cost-effective candidate.
For example, if your performance is very good and your resume is excellent, HR doesn't know if you can win you 100%.
So if you really want to join this company, you'd better do it "to get caught up ", to reflect your own market competitiveness, and to put a certain amount of pressure on HR.
Therefore, even if you have already taken offers from all Internet companies in Beijing, don’t say that you have too many offers and look indifferent. This will give HR the illusion that he is unlikely to get a job because he has too many choices. .
Of course, don't kneel on the ground and lick: "Joining the company is my dream, I only wait for this offer", don't worry, HR must be placed in the spare tire talent pool.
Suggest:
- Show that you have three or four confirmed offers (if you don’t have an offer, you still have to blow, but don’t disclose the specific company)
- But the first intention is the company. If the salary gap is not big, the company will be given priority
- Let me reveal that there are one or two offers that are urgently urged, and I hope that the results will come out soon.
How to talk about salary with HR?
HR often has the following routines when discussing salary with you:
- HR: What salary do you expect?
- You: 25k
OK, you have been successfully routine by HR. At this time, your highest price is 25K, and then HR will cut down at this price, so your final salary will generally be lower than 25k. When you receive an offer, your heart will definitely be full All kinds of "remorse": In fact, it is possible to report 26, 27 or even 28, 29 at that time.
The correct answer can be like this, and you can also counter-routine HR:
- HR: What salary do you expect?
- You: Based on my interview performance, what is the maximum salary your company can give?
Haha, if the HR who is not experienced enough may really say a quotation (such as 25K), then you can happily follow the price and slowly talk up. So in this case, your final salary must be greater than 25K. Of course, experienced HR will give you a very official cliché:
- HR: What salary do you expect?
- You: Based on my interview performance, what is the maximum salary your company can give?
- HR: This is not certain for the time being, it should be evaluated comprehensively based on the results of several rounds of interviews and the opinions of the employing department.
If HR answers you this way, my suggestion is this:
Although salary is very important, I personally feel that it is not the most important. I have the following suggestions:
- If you think that your technical interview is very effective, you can report a little salary so that if HR wants you, it will discuss it with you.
- If you think your technical interviews are average, but you prefer to join this company, you can submit a salary of this kind.
- If you think the interview results are very good, but you don't want to join this company, you can "make a lot of money" appropriately.
- If you think the interview effect is not good, but you want to join this company, you can open a slightly lower salary.
It should be noted that job interview is a two-way selection process. The interview should be neither overbearing nor overbearing. Don't just beg for a job because the interview result is not good. Everyone's work experience and experience are different. If the technical interview is not good, just know your shortcomings and make up for the vacancies. , Instead of thinking about people's relations.
Finally, I wish everyone can find their ideal job
