In an interview, what effect should be achieved to make it easier to get an offer?
In response to this problem, we might as well imagine ourselves as HR. If your workload today is to interview ten people, after you have interviewed all of them, you need to discuss with the department leader who is the most suitable candidate.
But after a day of interviews, your brain is already very tired. At this time, you may not be able to recall the names and advantages of the first few interviewers. At this time, the clearest thing in your mind must be the most competitive interviewer who left the deepest impression on you. And the chances of success for these interviewers will increase a lot.
Therefore, during the interview process, it is very important for the interviewer to remember you, and the chances of winning the interviewer who cannot show their own characteristics will be correspondingly reduced a lot.
So in the interview, how to impress the interviewer with yourself?
01 Keep a good spirit
No matter which occasion the first impression is very important, a spirited appearance will make the interviewer add points to you as a whole, which is the primacy effect in psychology. Although the first impression may not be correct, it gives the best impression. Strongest and brightest.
Therefore, before the interview, we need to pay attention to our dress and overall appearance. From the first minute of the interview, shaking hands and sitting down are all important points of the first impression, and they are also places that we need to make good use of.
What kind of impression do you want the other party to have on you during this interview? Here we can use a little technique of first impression. Before the interview, we need to sort out what kind of impression we want the other party to leave, and summarize it into 3 keywords.
For example, if I want the other party to feel that I am positive, polite and mature, then we should silently recite these three words in our minds before the interview. Repeated silent recitation will make us remember this goal deeply. You will unconsciously show these qualities in your body language and behavior.
02 Ensure a sense of communication during the interview process
Of course, the interview process is our top priority. We need to keep communicating with the interviewer at all times to ensure that we can leave a deep impression on him.
Here are some questions and tips to ask during the interview process.
1) Introduce yourself
(Preliminary reminder: After entering the interview site, don’t play with your mobile phone anymore!!!)
In formal interviews, we all start with a self-introduction. The interviewer generally has your profile, so try not to repeat what's on your resume.
The most important part of self-introduction is to introduce the matching degree between yourself and the position. Therefore, you need to state that you have previous project experience, how the content of this project matches the position you are currently recruiting for, and what benefits it can bring to the company, etc. And add data to the explanation to quantify the benefits you can bring to the company. In this way, the success rate of the interview will increase a lot.
For example, I was mainly responsible for APP function testing in my previous company, and I once optimized xx APP. In that project, I detected xx problems for this APP, among which, there were x hidden problems and x user experience problems. My test saved xx funds for the APP developer to do secondary improvement .
2) The interviewer asks you questions
I would like to emphasize two points here. One is to avoid interrupting the interviewer to ask questions; the other is not to pretend to understand. The latter sentence must be known to everyone, so I won’t repeat it. Here I mainly tell you about the first half of the sentence.
In the process of interview questions, even if you know what he is going to say next when he is halfway through, you must listen carefully to the interviewer's questions. Then pause for a few seconds before answering.
Think in another way, if you are the interviewer, do you like to be interrupted all the time?
3) Try to control the field
Especially when the interviewer asks you questions that you will not answer, you must remain calm. First say that you may not know much about it, and then say that you know the relevant content, and try to make the interviewer interested in the topic you said, so as to bypass the previous embarrassment.
For example, although I have no project experience related to security testing, I have taught myself the knowledge of security testing and participated in related simulation exercises. Therefore, I think I just lack an opportunity to do security testing, which I believe I can do.
4) Candidates questioning session
If the first half of the interview goes well, I suggest that those who participate in the interview try not to ask too many questions. Alternatively, you can ask something technically related. Don't ask questions like salary, benefits, vacations, etc. Because if you can pass the technical interview, the rest of the personnel will talk to you. There is no need to lower your impression points because of these questions.
5) Don’t argue about right or wrong
It must be said here that even the interviewer who conducts a technical interview for you may not necessarily be someone who is very familiar with the position you are applying for. Therefore, avoid arguing with them about right or wrong, winning or losing. For example, the boss of the IT department interviews you, and his specialty may be development, so when describing some test details, he may not be as accurate as you. At this time, if you argue with him about right and wrong, there is only one final result, and that is the failure of the application.
You know, everyone has expertise, otherwise why would you be hired?
For example, if the interviewer asks you "Do you have relevant application testing experience", and you say "Mobile phone software is actually an application integration", then it is very likely that he will reply you "It's different, the focus is different", And quickly end the communication between you.
The correct way is to understand, what tools are you using to test the power consumption of applications? The interviewer's answer either has not been tested in this area, or what tools or methods have been used. At this time, you can use your professional skills in mobile phone system testing to analyze which behaviors or functions of the application consume power, and how to effectively detect them.
Of course, if you can have more professional tools or solutions, that would be even better. In this way, the interviewer can not only listen to you convincingly, but also feel your professionalism, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?
03 write at the end
Finally, we must keep in mind the issue of attitude during interviews. After all, attitude determines everything in the workplace, attitude and skills. The relationship between the two is multiplication rather than addition. If the attitude is zero, then unless it is a skill point against the sky To give you another chance.
