The reason why many friends repeatedly fail to apply for jobs is because they simply don’t know what the interviewer is looking for during the interview.
Therefore, during the interview, everyone should constantly remind themselves: I am here to find a job, and you must consider clearly what kind of words to say and what kind of things to do to help find a job. Don't do anything contrary to that.
In fact, the entire interview session is very limited. How to find the best way to prove your ability within the limited session is what you need to consider.
The interviewer will not chat with you casually. Every question he asks you is carefully designed. These questions will decide your stay within 10-15 minutes.
Thinking about it this way, what some people do seems stupid. They will spend a lot of time showing their special love for life, for example, they like to bake cookies, hope to have their own life after work, etc. Not that this is wrong, but this information is simply not what the interviewer wants.
Then you may ask, what exactly does the interviewer want to know? It's very simple, just the following three points:
1. How is your ability?
2. What is your attitude?
3. How do you communicate with others?
These three questions can be extended to the following five types of questions, let’s look at them one by one. When you understand the substance behind these questions, you can easily handle any interview and become an offer harvester.
1. Self-awareness issues
Self-awareness mainly includes self-introduction, strengths and weaknesses, interests and hobbies.
1.Introduce yourself
In fact, before self-introduction, the interviewer has generally read your resume, and he already has a basic understanding of your situation, so the main function of this stage is to break the ice. So what to do?
First tell me who I am, add my three highlights, then use examples to support the highlights, and finally tell me why I want to get this job.
The self-introduction should not take more than two minutes, probably about 500 words. Never read off the information on your resume; doing so will not provide any valid information. You should capture your personal highlights, highlight your compatibility with your position, and provide examples to support it.
2. Introduce the advantages and disadvantages
When introducing advantages and disadvantages, you only need to follow one principle: points should be added to the advantages and points should not be deducted from the disadvantages.
When talking about your strengths, you'll get extra points if you talk to someone who matches the position. For jobs like new media operations that require dealing with people, you can highlight your communication skills and give an example from your previous job, which will give you extra points.
Let’s talk about shortcomings. When asked about your shortcomings, don’t be clever enough to package your advantages into shortcomings. Some people say that my biggest shortcoming is that I pursue perfection too much. This answer makes people feel false.
Of course, don't tell all your shortcomings too honestly. You need to analyze which shortcomings have an impact on this position and which ones have no impact. For example, programmers do not necessarily have to be particularly good at talking or socializing. Not being sociable may be a disadvantage for many jobs, but it does not have a great impact on the position of programmer. Mentioning this shortcoming will make you appear more sincere and will not affect your job search.
Another point is that the shortcomings you mentioned should have room for improvement. What are the shortcomings that have room for improvement? For example, your shortcoming is that you have just entered this field and do not have a lot of work experience. This is a shortcoming that can be improved and learned. Whether your shortcomings are temporary or permanent will affect the interviewer's judgment.
3. Talk about hobbies and interests
It is still a principle that your interests and hobbies must match the characteristics of the position. Students who apply for editors should say that they like reading; students who apply for video editors should say that they like movies.
Never go to a 996 Internet company and say that you like cooking and drinking a glass of red wine at home at night. It's useless to talk about mismatched hobbies like this, so it's best not to talk about it.
2. Practical application ability issues
The two dimensions of examination, practical application and general thinking, can complement each other. Insufficient work experience can be compensated by learning ability; those with poor learning ability and systematic thinking can be compensated by industry experience and project experience.
Commonly asked questions related to this module include the following:
1. Professional knowledge test. This type of question can be proven by the training certificates you have received. Some interviewers will also examine recent industry hot spots. It is necessary to understand what is happening in your industry before the interview.
2. Ask about your past work situation. Those who are already working have work performance; those who have no work experience may have experience in clubs and societies in school. Any enterprise is goal-oriented and requires you to have strong execution capabilities and even good overall planning capabilities.
Therefore, when describing past performance or community experience, you should pay attention to several points:
1. Talk more about your experience related to the position;
2. Let’s talk about the results or results first;
3. Try to use data to describe the results;
4. Use the STAR principle to describe the project.
3. General thinking ability issues
There are many dimensions that can be tested in this aspect, including your leadership ability, innovation ability, systematic thinking ability, stress resistance, etc.
To answer this type of question, you must first read the job requirements, circle the key general abilities, and respond in a targeted manner. You may encounter problems like this:
1. Discuss your views on the current situation based on current hot topics. For example, what impact do you think artificial intelligence will have on various industries? What do you think of the Internet xxx incident?
This kind of question can reveal personal values and perspectives of thinking about problems. You must pay attention to accumulating them in normal times, otherwise it will be difficult for you to blurt out a satisfactory answer during the interview.
2. Ask you to give a relevant example of your own ability, such as an example that reflects your leadership ability? Give an example that demonstrates your ability to innovate?
Generally speaking, the general abilities that the interviewer examines are abilities that this position needs to use or attach great importance to, so you can prepare 2-3 examples according to these directions before the interview, and bring out your other strengths in the examples. .
4. Issues of emotional intelligence in the workplace
This type of question tests the ability to interact with others. If a person has problems with emotional intelligence, he will definitely have problems coordinating work with colleagues in the future. If your performance in emotional intelligence is too poor, you will also be eliminated.
Typically these workplace emotional intelligence questions are asked:
1. If you and your boss have different ideas, and you are sure that your idea is right, what will you do?
Don't describe this problem to the interviewer sentence by sentence. This will easily lead to faults. The best way is to summarize your own solution ideas.
You can say something like this: "No boss likes his subordinates to openly violate themselves, so I will not deny the boss's ideas face to face, but will communicate with the boss individually at the appropriate time. During the communication, I will first confirm a certain part of the boss's correct ideas. Then put forward your own ideas tactfully and point out the pros and cons of your own ideas. In this way, the boss can judge more rationally which approach should be adopted."
2. If your big boss and your immediate superior have different opinions, what should you do?
Many people will answer that they listen to the big boss because the company belongs to the boss. But the question is not that simple. You can't give a direct answer, you just have to listen to the big boss. Because the premise for the company to function well is that the instructions from above can be fully implemented by the people below. If you skip your immediate superiors and implement the boss's ideas, there must be something wrong.
This is not only a disagreement between the boss and your boss, but also a conflict between you and your boss. Once you give such an answer, the interviewer will assume that you are not a particularly obedient person. Because it's not your job to convince your boss, it's your boss's responsibility.
5. Issues of workplace values
1. How did you plan your career path?
With this question, the interviewer wants to know how you feel about yourself? What is your understanding of career and your professional values?
Some people will say as soon as they come up, I want to be promoted to a supervisor in a few years and become a manager in a few years. This kind of answer is meaningless. The person interviewing you may be your supervisor or manager. Hearing such words, he will not think that you are particularly impulsive. Because you are not job-oriented, but position-based as your career motivation. This answer is not very flattering, and leadership positions are not something you can take if you want to.
This question should be based on the advantages of one's own professional values and the long-term development of the company. You can probably answer like this: "After my understanding of a certain industry, I think this industry will have good development in the next few years. In addition, I personally have advantages in certain aspects, so I am very interested in this position. This is a promising position." A promising job that can combine my interests with my strengths, so I will treat this position very carefully. When it comes to career planning, in the next 3-5 years, I hope to achieve a xx level in this industry. Then steadily improve, and then I can be independent in this industry or position. This is my plan."
Answering like this will make the interviewer think that you are humble, think about problems comprehensively, and have high loyalty to the company. If you tell the interviewer that you want to be a supervisor within three years, in addition to offending the interviewer, there is also a bad feeling, that is, the interviewer feels that the company's system cannot meet your wishes, because the company may It took five years to be promoted to supervisor, so I feel that your stability is not high.
2. Why do you change jobs frequently?
This is also a matter of professional values. If you have this problem, you must first truthfully admit your past work experience and do not lie, because the company may do a background check. Then show the company that you have deeply realized the disadvantages of frequent job-hopping, and you have paid a high price for it, and you will definitely want to find a long-term job in the future.
Furthermore, you can say that you have learned something while changing jobs, such as understanding multiple industries, so you are more certain that your career choice this time is more suitable for you.
3. What do you think about working overtime?
First of all, it must be clear that any company may work overtime. This issue should be elaborated from two aspects:
If the problem lies with you, you should improve your work efficiency and professional skills. It is necessary to work overtime to get things done, but it is more important to think about why you work overtime. Sometimes working overtime is not necessarily a good thing. It may be that you are lacking in ability in a certain aspect.
If the company encounters an urgent task and must work overtime, at this time, the overall situation must be focused, and more value will be created for the company in the process.
The above are the questions that the interviewer will ask during the interview. I hope that after reading this article, you will be able to skillfully use the strategies and answering skills for these questions and get a satisfactory offer. I wish you good luck!
