Participated in a mock group interview at school this Friday. It took only two days from receiving the notification to the official start, and my resume was completed on the same day... Originally, I just wanted to sign up as an observer, but I felt that I had no practical experience, and I had seen a lot of interviews before, so I simply closed my eyes and applied for an interviewer. I went there with the mentality of trying the water, but I didn't expect to gain a lot, which is completely different from the feeling of watching. This group interview is more suitable for me. It is similar to a novice experience field, and the interview teacher's comments are also very good. Surprisingly, I finally got the best of the audience and received a lot of prizes hahahahahaha! Very happy, worth recording.
first group record
The interview process is mainly:
self-introduction (1min/person) - case reading (5mins) - case discussion within the group (15mins) - summary of each group - questions/answers between groups - observer comments - comments on yourself or others - interviewer comments
before the interview
There should have been 8 people present, but only 6 actually came. So as long as you start, you have already succeeded in a small step.
The seat before the interview was chosen by myself. I chose seat 6, which was closer to the middle, but then I became the last one to speak. Now it seems that choosing a seat is a bit particular. The person next to me is sitting too far away, and it is difficult to make eye contact with the interviewing teacher.
At the beginning, you can prepare paper and pens by yourself, or introduce yourself several times to avoid getting stuck.
But as it turned out, I was still too nervous. Although I have been psychologically suggesting not to be nervous, just relax. But it's still very different when you're actually on the court! Drink water all the time to relieve stress but it doesn't help TUT need to exercise more
interview
Self introduction
(1) The interview teacher's summary points:
-
Make eye contact with the interviewer during the interview
It is to introduce yourself to the interviewer, and you can't look at the opponent and the audience or look down at the manuscript. Some interviewers may be very serious (Deloitte) and completely ignore you. Don't be afraid, you must have a calm and firm belief.
-
Need to prepare 1-minute and 2-minute self-introduction versions
Depending on the length of time, you have to consider where to place your highlights. To practice more! ! Some self-study things can also be said (for example, self-study CPA also has bonus points). When you practice by yourself, you can get stuck at 55 seconds.
-
to be unscripted
Be confident!
-
Listen carefully and record other people's introductions. Make
a little record of other people's content to show that you are listening carefully and memorize their names. -
Pay attention to body language
Some people have rich body language when they practice it on their own. For example: roll your eyes when you think about it (you don't realize it), that's not okay!
(2) Learned from others:
The 1-minute self-introduction timed out everyone! When it was my turn at last, I thought that I would never overtime, but I hadn't practiced much before, and 1 minute was really shorter than I thought! !
Interviewer No. 1 : The problem is that it is a self-introduction with a pile of achievements, a typical journal style (unfortunately, there is no hard core)
Interviewer No. 2 : Point-by-point introduction, clearer
Interviewer No. 3 : Ethnic minority/special name, can be packaged and explained, but to leave a deep impression on people, it is best to link it with the job application intention - Eg: My name is happiness in Tibetan, and I also hope that if I can get this position, I can bring happiness to others and myself (similar to this). If you simply say that your name is named by your grandfather $%^&*(, you will feel a little less!
Interviewer No. 4 : He introduced that he has a strong logical ability, so he dug a hole for himself! Because the logic he actually expressed was somewhat confusing, he was repeatedly brought up by the interview teacher to be publicly executed... Logic ability is a very important point in the interview, but don't say it directly, it is very risky%%%
Interviewer No. 5 : If you have experienced too many and complicated things, pay attention to highlighting the link with your job (for example, matching with a bank teller: carefulness, patience, etc.) This surprises me. Is there really anyone who comes out of the University of Finance and Economics who intends to apply for a job as a bank teller? ! But that girl is from an ethnic minority, and she may be going back to her hometown for development. Everyone has different experiences and is noncommittal.
Interviewer No. 6 (me) : The review said that I am quite satisfactory...but...not calm enough. One good thing is that I said "very firmly" thank you QWQ when I was interrupted due to lack of time. But in fact, it can be said more calmly: Sorry for the delay, thank you everyone.
case analysis
The case this time is to propose an anti-terrorism plan for a financial summit. After searching the Internet, I couldn't find it. I don't know where it was translated.
(1) Discussion session
Let me just say it here. Note that there must be a time allocation (Time keeper). Keep taking notes and summarizing the progress of the group. The observer later said that I was the one who took the initiative to break the ice. I didn't realize this, but I just wanted to hurry up...
(2) Summary and Q&A session
- Pay attention to the frame of the answer
We considered it from the two dimensions of fund allocation (given the specific amount) + time planning, and also mentioned the preparation of the plan. The other party did not consider the specific amount and time allocation, so the following questioning session will directly focus on this point... The
framework of the answer is very important, because you have been interviewed many times on a topic, and it may be difficult for you to come up with new ideas and opinions that will catch the interviewer's eyes. At this time, the main consideration is your overall framework.
Our current group has a small number of people, and they all come from the same school, so it is easy to reach a unified opinion. But if you are outside, facing various colleges and universities, people with different professional backgrounds will have different ideas. When there are too many people, different differences will inevitably arise. At this time, you have to think about what core competitiveness your school background and major bring you? Reflect in the framework of your answer to the question. Like a certain level of pragmatism, a level of sensitivity to numbers. The student who answered the opposite was from the League branch secretary, so he mentioned group defense and group control, which is quite novel.
- Speech
(1) The moment of final summary:
I’m saying it directly—then our group will come first.
to say so(Learned): identity positioning + greeting + brush impression again
Hello everyone, as today's No. 6 contestant, on behalf of our team, I would like to present our team's response plan to the judges and teachers...
First of all, we didn't pay attention to the identity positioning in the case - "We are a seven-member expert group , and we need to formulate an emergency response plan and submit it to the meeting organizers and the government."
Then we can mention who we are and refresh our impressions, which is very wonderful. It started off so calmly.
(2) Ask the other party:
① You need to have a questioning attitude, don't be too gentle; and be firm!
Speaking skills: first talk about the advantages, and then politely question.
First briefly describe the advantages of the opposing team, and give a little affirmation (for example, XXX..., but...)
②It is necessary to communicate within the group before asking questions, because only one question can be asked. Although the host didn't say to communicate first, you should be aware of it! This will avoid the occurrence of question and answer.
(3) Answer the other party:
We have also considered the question you mentioned. This is a very good question, but...
①This reflects a normal working state (for example, it is not good to be refuted immediately without thinking by DISS)
②Step-by-step: Think first + communicate
Thinking: Don’t blurt out, although it may be some very simple and straightforward questions, but don’t answer directly, think about it. In this way, the final conclusion can be given directly, instead of slowly analyzing.
Communication: First communicate with your peers (or give a positive look), It'sa team!
In short: There must be a sense of ritual + speaking skills (neither humble nor overbearing) + a sense of time (especially when there are many people)
other supplements
Questions:
(1) Will it have any influence if I have practiced in a related industry during the interview? (such as internship in CCB, interview with China Merchants Bank)
Generally, it will not be affected. The key point is to see how your previous position is, whether it matches, etc.
(2) How should the interviewer answer when the interviewer asks that you have little internship experience?
①I said that although I have little experience, there are reasons for the incident (for example, because I took up the summer vacation time because I went to the second college); ②Maybe
my internship experience is little, but it does not hinder my understanding of the market, industry background, and your company... (On the bright side) My energy allocation may not be on internships but on other aspects...
(3) Is it important to speak first and last in the group? Does it have a big impact?
For the group face, focus on a group word, that is, the team: it is necessary to promote the group members to obtain common recognition, so that the logic is clear and the content is rich for display.
Role distribution of team members:
Leaders must have firm leadership skills, but they will suffer losses if they do not do well. The captain also takes care of the students who speak less.
Coordinator: It is very important. If someone is outputting continuously, you show your approval at this time and say um, yes. It is also very important!
In this way, you can put forward new viewpoints and your own ideas at some moments. Otherwise, being a marginal person will not be impressive.
Everyone has different personalities and will play different roles in the team. Everyone wants to behave better, but they are pre-emptive. If no new viewpoints are put forward later, they may drive high and low!
Listening silently, keeping records (very important) and putting forward new viewpoints later is refreshing, and the interviewer will also see it.
So it can be assigned according to your personality. If you lack leadership skills, you can also be a good time controller and coordinator. The key is to keep recording and promote the progress of the team.
summary reflection
I deeply realized that my expression is still not very good, and my mind suddenly went blank while talking, obviously lack of experience, in short, the output is still too little!
Now I start to read more books and practice more oral English. Also, don’t label yourself. I used to think that Leader was too strong and not suitable for me. Sometimes I also dislike some leaders myself. . Now I feel like I can try some new things.
