There are a large number of interview skills and interview question banks on CSDN, which are basically written from the perspective of job seekers. Today, let’s change the angle and talk about how to distinguish the level of interviewers from the perspective of interviewers.
Borrowing from a certain martial arts master's idea of segmenting martial arts people, I divided the technical interviewers into three segments: those who have tricks and no gods, those who have tricks and those who have skills, and those who have no tricks and have tricks. The highest rank among them is that there is no trick to win and there is a trick. Let's take a look at the characteristics of the interviewers of different ranks.
Section 1: There are tricks and no gods
This section is often seen in novice interviewers. I remember that when I was an interviewer for the first time, I would prepare a series of interview questions in advance, and I would ask the job seekers in turn during the interview. I even prepared answers to some questions, because I didn't know the answers to some interview questions at that time.
The most typical feature of this type of interviewer is that he will take a computer or mobile phone or a piece of paper for interview questions, and look at the list of questions after asking a question. And after each question is asked, they rarely go deep to expand. This kind of interviewer often asks the prepared questions without their own thinking and style, so I call it a trick for the time being. The god here refers to the interviewer's interview thinking and style.
Usually, in this type of interview, the main interviewer is busy and has no time to interview, so he finds his younger brother to replace him to screen. Once a friend of mine had just joined the job for a week, and was assigned to be an interviewer in the second week.
Some babies may think that this is not a bit of a joke. Don't feel wronged, it's normal. For the company, the most important thing is not to recruit the best people, nor to recruit the most suitable people, but to recruit a similar person with the smallest cost , and the most important thing here is the cost.
And the interview needs to take up the interviewer's time. Do you think the cost of a big boss is high for a day, or is the cost of a rookie high for a day? So rookies are sometimes sent by the boss to do a round of screening first, and those who pass the screening, the boss will then conduct a second round of interviews. In order to achieve the purpose of saving time and reducing costs.
In many cases, this type of interviewer will be played by the younger brother of the boss. After all, they know a little technology and can judge whether a person's answer is correct; sometimes, this type of interviewer will be played by HR. Although HR does not understand technology, but Don't underestimate them. You need to know that HR is a smart person. Although they don't understand technology, they understand people. They can judge whether you have confidence and confidence from the sentences you answer questions.
Will the younger brother and HR make a wrong judgment? There will definitely be, but it doesn't matter, their responsibilities have been completed. Don't forget that their responsibilities are only to reduce costs and screen out some job applicants with a high probability of being unqualified. Even if some fish slipped through the net, wouldn't there be big bosses behind them?
For job seekers, interviewers at this level seem to be very skilled, but they are actually not easy to deal with. There are three reasons:
1. Sometimes the interviewer is more nervous than you.
If you meet a younger brother who is an interviewer for the first time, he may really be more nervous than you, or he will be too excited and excited because he is an interviewer for the first time, and he will lose his usual calmness and talk. There will be mouth drift, brain short circuit, and embarrassing situations, and a good interviewer will not let this happen.
As a job seeker, you must remember that embarrassment in the scene is much worse than not being able to answer the interviewer's questions. If you encounter situations where the interviewer is blindfolded, his mouth is floating, or his brain is short-circuited, you should act when you should. The interviewer relaxes.
For example, after asking two or three questions, the interviewer suddenly ran out of words and didn't know what to ask. At this time, you can take the initiative to say: "I have some research on high concurrency in my work, how about I introduce my research on high concurrency?" High concurrency understanding." Believe me, the interviewer will thank you at this time.
It’s just that facing this kind of interviewer, you will be more tired. That is to say, you have to resolve the embarrassment of the scene, and you should not make too much noise and overwhelm the host.
2. Sometimes the interviewer can't judge whether your answer is right or wrong, and instead knocks you out.
Since it is a side dish, their understanding of some technical points may be relatively one-sided, and your understanding of these points is relatively deep. He cannot understand what you are talking about, or it is inconsistent with his understanding. In this case, you may be in trouble.
If the interviewer is a person with an open mind, he may discuss it with you. If the interviewer is a person with a small belly, he probably will not pass this interview.
3. The interviewer will not give you much room to play.
This type of interviewer usually asks you according to the rhythm you set or the questions you have prepared in advance. If you deliberately guide the direction, they may not accept the offer. After all, it is their home field, and it is normal for them to be afraid of losing control. In this way, you may not have the opportunity to show your advantages. Some small dish interviewers may even be domineering at this time, venting all the hardships they have suffered, and making things difficult for job applicants.
Generally speaking, the interviewer of this level is verifying that sentence, the king of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is hard to deal with. If you realize that your interviewer is of this rank, you must calm your mind. As for whether you can meet Hades, just let it go.
The second paragraph: There are tricks and gods
Most interviewers may fall into this category. They will have their own relatively fixed interview ideas and routines. I once observed a technical interviewer interviewing four or five people. The topics he asked were almost the same, but the difference was that He will expand or dig into some problems based on the job applicant's response. As for the direction and point of expansion, it depends on the technical characteristics of the job applicant itself.
There may be two reasons why such interviewers form fixed interview ideas and routines:
One is to be a side dish for a long time, and solidify the interview questions I prepared. So I formed my own style and ideas.
The second is to form a fixed interview idea based on the technical characteristics of the company's situation.
If it is the second type, their interviews are very targeted, and the high probability of passing is that they can start working immediately, and these people are usually job seekers who have work experience in similar fields.
To be honest, this situation may not be friendly to the technical development of job seekers. The reason is very simple. You want to change jobs to improve your salary, or to change the environment so that your skills can develop. In this case, the interview will not focus on how much room for development is given to you. People only care about whether you can start working directly when you come.
And this kind of situation may be the most in the software development recruitment market. If you want to have the opportunity to improve technically, you can only study more technologies in your spare time. It is not too likely to expect much improvement in work.
As for the interview itself, as long as you can meet their employment requirements for the second-tier interviewers, it is basically OK. For this kind of interviewer, it is OK to speak out what you know, yes, yes, no will not. Generally speaking, interviewers at this level will feel more relaxed and comfortable without any pressure.
Three paragraphs: There is no trick to win, but there is a trick
What about high-level interviewers? To put it simply, there is no trick to win and there is no fixed routine. To recruit a long-term and stable employee, you need to investigate many aspects. It may not be appropriate to adopt a fixed routine. The interviewer at this level will start a chat with you based on your past experience.
Through your experience, see how you understand technical issues, how to learn and grow, how to deal with interpersonal relationships, etc. All the questions may come from your answers, if you don't make a move, it's all right, and making a move is a fatal move.
Sometimes, the interviewer will also set a scene for you that you may not have encountered before. Even if you have not learned the relevant technology, you will be asked to think about how you would deal with such a problem. Sometimes job seekers themselves may not know that they can solve such complex scenarios and such high-end problems.
It can be said that interviewers of this rank are very venomous, no matter how good they are, they can answer a few questions, and they can also tap the potential of job seekers through high-pressure interviews.
Of course, the interviewer at this level will not only put pressure on you, under normal circumstances, the interviewer will ask you to introduce yourself, but the interviewer at this level may greet you first, so that you can relax, because of this Only then can job seekers perform at their normal or extraordinary levels. What they want is not to suppress you, but to reveal your true level.
So sometimes when they feel the tension of job applicants, they will not be in a hurry, and will use some words or ridicule to relax you, silently waiting for you to find your own state. Even bluntly use words like "It's okay, let's just discuss ideas, it doesn't matter if you get the wrong answer" to help you relax.
If you meet such an interviewer, you should feel lucky. You can learn a lot whether you pass the interview or not. If you want, you can ask the interviewer a lot of questions. There is a high probability that they will be willing to talk to you. shared.
===========================
Well, the interviewers of the three ranks are introduced here. The above are my personal opinions. What I said may be right or wrong, and it is all a joke.
Finally, I want to share an interview recording. Unfortunately, I can’t post it directly in the CSDN article. I uploaded it to the CSDN resource.
