People all over the world know that the "view on overtime" in IT company interviews has always been a must-question question for interviewers.
Although not all IT companies really need to work overtime often, employers will deliberately ask some "dilemma" questions during interviews, hoping to select talents that are more in line with their corporate culture through the performance of job applicants during interviews.
Therefore, the interviewer will deliberately throw some "pits" during the interview for job seekers to step on. However, what Xiaojie encountered this time was actually a "cement pit".
College student Xiaojie participated in an interview with a large IT company. During the interview, the interviewer actually asked such a question.
"My girlfriend from another place came to see you, but the boss asked you to work overtime. How do you choose?"
A few interviewers were dumbfounded on the spot, what is the problem!
- It's hard to have a girlfriend. If you don't accompany her, the consequences will be disastrous?
- If you don’t work overtime for your girlfriend, will you get fired? If you are unemployed, will your girlfriend still follow me?
- Where is my girlfriend? Simply answer that I don’t have a girlfriend, and insist on working overtime?
After thinking for a while, the first interviewer replied:
"I would definitely go with my girlfriend, even if I was scolded by the boss. After all, my girlfriend came to see me from a far away place. It would be too careless if I left her alone."
The interviewer smiled and said, "Okay, next one!"
The second interviewer was a bit more sleek, he said:
"It must be work is important. After all, if the boss asks to work overtime, there must be some urgent task. If you run away at this time, it is estimated that the future will not be easier! If you are a girlfriend, you can take a taxi and accompany me at the company. After a while, when I get off work, it will be fine to go back together!"
After listening, the interviewer nodded and looked at the next interviewer.
This time it was Xiaojie's turn.
He paused for a few seconds and replied:
"I think this problem can be solved like this!
First of all, I will find the boss to understand the urgency of this matter. If the time is particularly urgent, I will explain the reason to my girlfriend and ask her to take a taxi first. Wait for me at the company for a while, and I will quickly handle the work at hand. Stay with her afterwards.
But if it is not so urgent, I will explain the situation to my boss, pick up my girlfriend first, and finish the work as soon as possible when I go home at night.
How should I put it? I believe that both my boss and my girlfriend can understand me as long as I actively communicate in such a thing. "
In this interview, only Xiaojie passed successfully in the end. Why would Xiaojie's answer be recognized by the interviewer?
Comparing carefully, we will find that, compared with the first two, Xiaojiesheng is not easy to "put words to death".
When facing a "dilemma", job seekers need to express:
How to weigh the conflict between work and life
Attitude towards work
Way of thinking
Therefore, the loyalty to the company (work) must be shown, and secondly, don't make arbitrary and improper promises. Because the interviewer does not want to hear false answers.
Are you sure you can do it? If you can't, don't "guarantee it immediately" during the interview. The interviewer's rich experience can tell you whether you will be self-defeating.
There should be a summary here
Therefore, job seekers must not only reserve solid professional skills and rich project experience, but also have agile reaction ability and fluent eloquence, cleverly deal with all kinds of strange problems, and stand out. This is the only magic weapon to win a high-paying offer!
