I have guided thousands of people to find employment, so I am qualified to answer this question.
In fact, the interviewer asks "Do you have any other offers?" The scene of this question is usually at the end of the interview, and suddenly asks you inadvertently. Of course, this also shows that your interview effect is not bad, and you have the opportunity to enter the next one. Or maybe it's time to talk to you about the offer.
Another point is, don’t doubt that every sentence of the interviewer has a deep meaning. As long as you haven’t sent you an offer, you have to keep the other party laying mines for you. If you make a careless move, you will lose everything. .
In the daily mock interviews of our Qianfeng software testing class, we will mention it more than once. Through continuous deepening and understanding of this type of questions, we can achieve conditioned reflexes in the interview. Let’s sort out the interviewer asking this question. thoughts:
Assess your market value
The ability of the interviewer can be measured by market acceptance. The number of interviews, the number of offers, and the level of salary may be important indicators to measure this value. Sometimes job seekers don't know how much money they should ask for a job. If you ask for less, you feel a loss. If you ask for more, you are afraid of wasting an opportunity.
The advice I give is generally: go to the interview as much as possible first, and get the first offer first . Because this offer is the confidence and foundation for your subsequent interviews, with it, you can not only frankly reject offers with lower salaries. It is also the basis for you to bargain with the interviewer.
More than once, someone gave me feedback that because there was an offer in hand, the other party gave me a salary increase directly. Aren’t the major Internet companies robbing each other? If you pass the interview and get the offers of Ali’s p6 and p7. Tencent will not hesitate to raise your salary on the basis of your salary, and you are too lazy to interview. This is because the market has already given you a value assessment, which can be used as an expression of your ability. Having said that, if you said you have an offer in hand, would you hide it?
Key points: If you have an offer, you must answer positively and say that you are considering that opportunity. Give the interviewer the feeling that he missed it, that is, his loss, and you will win mentally.
Take the initiative for yourself
If the interviewer thinks you are good and wants to sign you right away, he can't be particularly obvious.
The phrase we see most is: you go back first, and hr will communicate with you later. This rhetoric is to buy time for yourself to think again, so as not to act impulsively. Or it's the unknown thoughts of adults: just pretend.
If you are in this state of mind and ask you the question "Do you have any other offers?" It's not difficult to guess his thoughts: I can pretend, but pretending to be coercive is risky. In case of running away, it's more reassuring to confirm. If there is no offer, I will cool down the job seeker, so as to lower the salary. If there is, don't pretend, it's better to confirm it before talking, and you can't take the initiative to increase your salary or something.
Key points: If you have an offer, you must answer it positively. Not only can you crack down on pretenders, but you may also take the initiative to give you a salary increase. Know how to choose.
Understand your job search progress
In the current situation where the employment situation is not so good, generally after receiving an offer, many people will consider whether to join the job, the advantages and disadvantages of joining the job, and if the offer is not too bad, there is a possibility of joining the job. So the interviewer "Do you have any other offers?" just wants to know where you have come.
If you are just starting to make noodles, don't worry, let me cool you down. If you have been interviewing for a long time and there is no offer, then cool you down and take the initiative. If you already have an offer, you can also ask about your intentions and whether you are satisfied, so as to determine whether to send you an offer or not in a hurry. Anyway, the interview is also a game, it depends on who is calm.
Knowing the mind of the interviewer, how should we crack it?
It's actually very simple, if you have an offer in hand, let it be your bonus item. If you don’t have an offer in hand, you should use your strengths and avoid weaknesses, so that the other party feels that you are very popular. If you miss this time, you will lose this shop.
1. Bonus points for answers with an offer in hand
Don't be too real, just tell the other party how many offers you have and how much the offer salary is. Remember, hazy beauty is more effective. A beautiful woman who still holds a pipa and half covers her face is always more impactful and attractive than naked.
Too many offers is not necessarily a good thing, it will make the other party feel that you have no direction in your job search, but are casting a wide net. Therefore, the number of offers must be vague, and there are several advantages:
-
Let the other person think you are hot
-
in a targeted job search
-
Be clear about your career development
-
It is also more accurate for its own market positioning
-
good employment stability
If the interviewer is interested in you, they may continue to ask you about the company and salary. Here again, don’t answer directly and specifically, just give a general field or salary range.
Give a suggested answer: I have received offers in my hands, one is an intermediate test position in the financial industry, and the other is an Internet test development position. Not sure about getting a job. Don't go any further, leave it to the interviewer to make up his own brain.
2. How to add points to yourself without an offer
If you don't have it, you don't have it. Don't slap your face to make yourself fat. If there are any loopholes in the details, this interview will be considered useless. In job hunting, honesty is still valued by many HR. No matter what the reason is, you haven't gotten an offer so far, you can't lie, and you can't be too honest, telling all the embarrassing things about your hard work in the interview, and no one is interested in the end. Moreover, always tell yourself that not having an offer does not mean that you are not capable.
If there is no offer, it is generally recommended that you reply like this:
I've just started interviewing, and your company is the first one I've asked about. It's only been a few days since the interview, but two of them have a good chat and have entered the second interview, and one company has talked about the offer again, but it hasn't been issued yet.
Draw key points: If you do not have an offer, you must show your sincerity, express your willingness to apply for a job as much as possible, and express your market value as much as possible without being humble or overbearing (not having an offer does not mean that you cannot evaluate the market value, please refer to the above three answers ), the ultimate goal is to get an (this) offer first.
After getting the offer, please go back to the state with the offer and deal with the next interviewer.
In short, job hunting is a game. Whether it is a job seeker or an interviewer, they all want to win from this game.
