Interview strategy

-The first step into society

After leaving school and choosing their dream industry, graduates immediately face many subtle problems, such as how to choose the workplace clothes for employment, how to make a good impression by shaking hands and other body language, and how to find their best position in the conference room attended by many people. Although the principle of emotional dominance is increasingly emphasized in society, job seekers must first adapt to some traditional concepts in society.

How to buy the first suit?

Master the basic color and match the heavy taste.

Although men's fashion has changed into a mood-oriented collocation principle, it seems that it is better to stay on campus wearing wide skateboard pants, casual backpacks full of personal belongings and cool sports shoes. After all, it is not easy for the interview supervisor to impress people by dressing up as a student. "Buddha wants gold clothes, people want clothes", and clothing is the key to show personal workplace etiquette beyond professional ability.

Before leaving school, students always invest in their knowledge and skills; Before entering the workplace, clothing has become an important investment that must be paid continuously. Generally speaking, job seekers should consider whether the company they choose has a special corporate dress culture. Because different industries have different dress concepts, companies that advocate freedom or enterprises that are strict in everything have very different dress requirements for employees.

Although the principle of fashion collocation is becoming more and more casual, for the older generation of interview supervisors, there are still some impressions of the traditional workplace. Do you dare to risk asking him to accept the latest popular concepts?

Mr. Xie, the manager of a British clothing brand, suggested from his experience of interviewing employees that exaggerated fashion clothes are not suitable for men in the film and television industry. A suit, shirt and tie with good material and consistent color, dressed neatly and appropriately, can not only highlight the professional temperament, but also show the attitude of respecting the company and win the favor of the interview supervisor.

However, different industries have different colors and tailoring, especially job seekers can't help buying new clothes in a fashionable market environment, and the choice of colors and patterns will be influenced by the choice of fashion sensitivity.

Usually, people in different industries have different degrees of acceptance of popular changes. The concepts of communication, advertising and clothing industries are free and open, while finance, construction and manufacturing industries are conservative.

As for the consulting, electronics, communication, network and other industries that are popular in recent years, the acceptance of popularity should be relatively free, but the choice and collocation of clothing presents two interesting extremes.

People in these industries generally consider themselves as people who are at the forefront of the times. On the one hand, they think their clothes should not be too old-fashioned, but in order to cope with the formal occasions that they have to attend occasionally, there are also orthodox suit combinations in the wardrobe. It's just that after leaving public places, their work clothes are very casual.

Dark blue, dark gray, never out of date.

For job seekers who may be wearing formal clothes for the first time, the color system selection is based on the principle of practicality, and basic colors that will not be out of date, such as dark blue and dark gray, can be selected first, while plain colors or straight stripe colors can be selected according to personal preferences.

Among them, dark blue is the most satisfactory choice. Gray suits, which are still popular in recent years, can also show youthful and energetic wearing style. Paired with white, blue or gray shirts and plain ties, it can better show personal taste and professional image.

In terms of style, in recent years, single-row design has been adopted in spring and summer. The three-button style can show slender lines and youthful vitality, while the four-button suit is more popular.

For young men who want to have fashion taste, but not too fashionable and sloppy, breaking the rules of suits, shirts and ties is also a dress code recognized by some industries. For example, unconventional tailored suits with T-shirts or sweaters popular this summer are especially effective for job seekers who apply for communication and advertising.

Gold buttons and blazers can be formal or casual.

Job seekers who may wear it only once in an interview and have little chance to wear it in the future can actually choose a formal and casual multi-purpose gold button suit jacket, which is characterized by wearing an orthodox tie when attending formal occasions on weekdays. At a formal holiday party, if you don't wear a tie with a casual shirt, it is not only a respect for the host, but also too casual.

Especially when the purchase price of a suit is slightly higher, you can consider adding a shirt and tie with low unit price in addition to the suit to meet the needs of changing clothes in the future.

When choosing clothes, the length of clothes should cover the buttocks, the length of sleeves should be as long as the back of the hand 1/2, and the length of pants should be above the heel 1 ~ 1.5 cm. The length of the tie is best at the head of the belt. In addition, job seekers should also pay attention to dress etiquette. Generally speaking, the fabric of shirts should not be too thin, so as not to make underwear transparent and unsightly. Leather shoes and socks should match the color of pants. Never wear white socks to match the whole suit. In addition, the length of socks should be as long as the calf, so as to avoid the exposure of leg hair and make the overall wearing look short.

-Know yourself and yourself.

Before applying for a job, you should fully analyze your strengths and weaknesses, determine your personal development goals, and choose an employer purposefully. In the candidate unit, we can know the current situation of the unit through various channels, analyze whether the unit has its own position and development prospects, and thus formulate corresponding employment strategies. The situation of a unit can often be analyzed from the following aspects:

1, organization scale. Large and small institutions have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is necessary to judge whether they are suitable for their own choice according to their own strength, positioning and interest.

2. reputation. The reputation of the company inside and outside the industry is very important to the career of employees. If it is a large-scale and reputable organization, others' evaluation of you will naturally improve, which is very helpful for future development.

3. Development potential. By understanding the organization's past records and development policies, we can roughly guess its future development.

4. Personnel composition. From the proportion of high-quality employees, we can predict whether your strength can be reused in this organization and whether you can undertake challenging work.

5. Business scope. Powerful units have a wide range of business, and employees have exercise opportunities in different departments, which is conducive to growth.

6. Hardware facilities. From the aspects of office building (factory building), equipment and office conditions, we can get a general idea of whether this institution has certain strength.

7. Nature of work. For job seekers whose main goal is self-development rather than salary, jobs with challenges, diversity and sense of accomplishment are more attractive.

8. In-service training. From the job training policy of an organization, we can judge whether the organization attaches importance to the improvement of employees' quality and the investment strategy in human resources.

9. Promotion opportunities. Whether the promotion system of this institution is fair and reasonable. If you work hard, there are few opportunities for talented and successful promotion, which is not conducive to the progress of employees, and it also shows that this institution is not worth choosing.

10, welfare benefits. Including wages, bonuses, labor protection, old-age insurance, unemployment insurance, medical insurance, etc. It is related to getting rid of worries and starting a business wholeheartedly.

-Seize the job opportunities.

Choosing the best job hunting opportunity is conducive to improving the success rate of job hunting.

Around New Year's Day in a year is more favorable, because the next year's work will be arranged soon, including personnel adjustment.

January, preferably early or mid January. In the later period, institutions are generally busy arranging the work plan for next month, which is relatively busy.

Monday and Tuesday are the best days of the week. Even if you don't receive it at that time, you can consider arranging it in the next few days. Don't go to your home to apply for a job on weekends, because the supervisor may have other activities on weekends, and it is easy to get bored at this time.

In a day, the morning is the best, and one or two hours after work is the best, which is conducive to arranging time. In the afternoon, people's mental state is not good, and they have the finishing work of the day and the work arrangement of the next day, so they are very nervous.

-interview taboos

(1) Don't drink before the interview. Drinking will slow people down, and drinking too much will make people lose their minds.

(2) Don't chew gum during the interview. Chewing gum while talking will give people an impression of fooling around and being careless, and make the examiner feel that you are not serious in the interview and are not fluent in chewing gum.

(3) Don't smoke during the interview. If the examiner invites you to smoke, even if you are a smoker, you should say "thank you" and then politely refuse, so it is better not to smoke. Because smoking will affect the examiner's attention, and in the process of answering questions, you may interrupt your speech because of smoking, leaving a bad impression.

(4) don't climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. If some of your relatives and friends are dignitaries or celebrities, don't be smart enough to move all these people out to expand the momentum. Even if the examiner asks, it can only be a brief introduction. Otherwise, sometimes it will backfire and make people feel that you have no real skills.

(5) No jokes, no gags. It is certainly good to show a sense of humor in an interview. If you are not good at humor or do not control humor, you'd better answer the questions honestly, otherwise you will leave a frivolous impression on others.

-Interview Raiders: Take the initiative.

No matter how sophisticated you are, you can take your time and answer Kan Kan's interview with the company you love, but your heart is still cautious. In fact, as long as you master some seemingly insignificant "details", you can be comfortable and maintain a good atmosphere for the interview.

Be good at breaking the silence

At the beginning of the interview, the candidate is not good at "breaking the ice" (English literal translation means breaking the silence), waiting for the interviewer to open the box. During the interview, the candidates were unwilling to take the initiative to speak because of various concerns, which led to silence in the interview. Even if you can barely break the silence, the pronunciation and intonation are extremely blunt, which makes the scene even more embarrassing. In fact, whether before or during the interview, the interviewer will take the initiative to say hello and talk, which will leave the interviewer with a good impression of being enthusiastic and good at talking to people.

Maintain a positive response.

Interviewers often mention or touch on things that embarrass candidates. Many people are red-faced, or evasive, or lying perfunctory, rather than answering honestly and explaining positively. For example, the interviewer asked: Why did you change jobs three times in five years? Some people may say how difficult the work is, the superiors don't support it and so on. Instead of telling the interviewer: different jobs have enriched my knowledge, and I have learned a lot and matured a lot.

Be good at asking questions to interviewers.

Some people ask questions when they shouldn't, such as interrupting the interviewer in an interview. Some people are not prepared enough to ask questions before the interview, and they don't know what to say when it's their turn to ask questions. In fact, a good question is better than countless words in the resume, which will make the interviewer sit up and take notice.

Don't get too close to the interviewer.

Interviewers with certain professional qualities are forbidden to befriend candidates, because the relationship between the two sides is too casual or too tense during the interview, which will affect the interviewer's judgment. Too much "making friends" will also objectively prevent candidates from presenting their professional experience and skills well in a short interview time. Smart candidates can praise the recruiting unit by quoting one or two well-founded things, thus showing your interest in this company.

The interview ended skillfully.

At the end of the interview, many job seekers will be incoherent and at a loss because of the excitement of success or the fear of failure. In fact, at the end of the interview, the applicant may wish to express your understanding of this position, enthusiastically tell the interviewer that you are interested in this position, and ask what the next step is; Smile and shake hands with the interviewer, and thank the interviewer for his reception and consideration.

-Try to express yourself.

The content of your speech in the interview is important, but the examiner will pay more attention to your way of speaking and behavior, and in order to determine whether you are suitable for this job, the examiner will also examine whether you can integrate with the company.

Always show your enthusiasm when interviewing, and don't give up your efforts easily.

Shake hands with the examiner before the interview and look him in the eye with a smile. After the interview, shake hands with him and say goodbye.

Sit comfortably in the chair, but don't get stuck. Don't sit too far unless you are sitting in a soft chair or sofa, which will give the examiner a sense of alienation.

Even if you think things are going well, don't act too carefree. Even if you can smoke, you shouldn't smoke on this occasion.

Don't joke on this occasion, and avoid jokes and humor that are not suitable for this occasion.

Take out a pen and notebook before the interview and record the main points in the whole interview process, especially those who are interested in details.

If the examiner receives a phone call during the interview, you can take out a piece of material from his briefcase and read it a few minutes after he answers the phone. This makes you look smart and shows that you have a strong sense of time. More importantly, the examiner can handle the phone better without monitoring.

-Some common questions in the interview.

Why do you like this job?

Why did you quit your old job?

Why did you get fired from your old unit?

What is your proudest experience in your past job?

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

You have different or no work experience from this job, so how did you do this job?

Why should we hire you?

Do you have any other hobbies?

Listen carefully, observe and judge what kind of answers the examiner likes during the interview. Some people like to hear examples from work experience, some people want to know your work ability, some people want you to introduce yourself briefly, and some people like to listen to your explanation. Try to find out what the examiners like to answer from their manners, and then answer these or similar questions as accurately as possible.

-Answering skills in the interview

Answer is the main form of interview. Good coping skills can improve interview results and win.

1, answer the question. No matter what the question is, answer it. This is the most basic principle.

2. Frank and sincere. There are some highly professional issues that you really don't understand, so just admit it frankly.

3. answer while answering. If you want to answer some questions directly, it is equivalent to denying yourself. Therefore, you should try your best to turn words that may deny yourself into words that affirm yourself.

4. Turn around. Some questions are too tricky to answer. You might as well turn your back and ask each other, which can also have unexpected results.

5, big questions and small works. Examiners sometimes ask "big" questions, so you must be "small" and don't talk aimlessly. The general technique is to talk about the position you are applying for.

Examples of answering interview questions

The principles and skills of answering interview questions are: avoiding its sharpness; Change the subject; Dark crossing Chen Cang; Avoid the heavy and be light. The key is to turn passivity into initiative and turn the problem into something that can be actively controlled.

Question 1: Do you like the high salary in our company?

Suggested answer: For employees, I hope that the benefits will be good, and the benefits will come from the scientific management system. It is not difficult to find a well-paid unit, but there are not many units that are really well managed.

Skills: Stealing the warehouse: praise the originality of the enterprise without trace.

Question 2: Why did your previous company fire you?

Suggested answer: I was not fired, but I resigned. I don't want to waste time there, because I think my previous unit was cronyism.

Tip: change the subject: lead to other topics.

Question 3: The former unit far exceeds us in scale, reputation, welfare and treatment. Why did you come to us?

Suggested answer: A person's value is not only reflected in his salary. A person's success does not depend on a good tree to enjoy the cool. As long as he is useful, he can show his value and success wherever he is.

Tip: Avoid its sharpness: Don't answer directly, show your confidence and ambition.

Question 4: What are your weaknesses?

Suggested answer: I have many shortcomings, but I believe that some of my shortcomings will not affect my own advantages.

Skill: avoid the heavy weight: show full confidence.

-Who are unpopular in the workplace?

Shark type: self-righteous, self-satisfied and unwilling to cooperate with others. If such people go their own way again, they will be isolated by the professional society that advocates "team spirit" and easily abandoned.

Antique type: hidebound, unwilling or even refusing anything new, Chen Yufa is pedantic. People who can't actively adapt to the changes of the times will only die.

Model: Give orders and press buttons to move, lacking initiative. Think about it. Is a rapidly changing society willing to have such a person?

Small size: It is easier to lose opportunities in the competition than those doers who "talk less and do more".

Fox type: the future society needs real doers rather than conspirators. The combination of wisdom and morality will make the world invincible.

Slow type: In the market competition, people with slow speed and low efficiency will undoubtedly be overwhelmed by the tide of competition.

Pathological type: damaging the body is not only your own loss, but also a collective trouble. This matter must not be taken lightly.

-Nine main points of wage negotiation

Careful comparison: determine your market value according to your personal network?

Organizational thinking: list your requirements in detail: salary, insurance, professional title, holidays, and if you think it is appropriate, you can also add parking spaces, travel subsidies, professional books and so on.

Just the interval: for example, the salary is required to be between 2000 and 5000 yuan, aiming at the median.

Take precautions: If you are not satisfied with the first interview, you can ask for a raise in the future after the interview.

Strategic consideration: find out what the ideal situation is and what the acceptable conditions are. Try to get what you want, but be prepared to make concessions on the next important issue.

Proactive: Remember that both you and your employer are trying to get a satisfactory result from this negotiation.

Honesty: Put all opinions on the table from the beginning.

Calm down: buy yourself time to think it over, show others your interest and tell them that you will give an answer within one day.

Salary terms: negotiate all terms of employment-basic responsibilities, salary and various remarks.

Pass the test

-adapt to the environment and work as soon as possible.

If you are admitted to the probation period, you should take the initiative to understand and abide by the various systems of the unit-management system, work system, work and rest system, etc. Strictly abide by the system. Even if some old employees don't abide by the system, don't "learn from others" just because your "identity" is different.

Familiar with working procedures and working environment. People and things related to your work must be familiar with in the shortest possible time.

Be familiar with the nature and tasks of your work. What are your job requirements, how big your responsibility is, and how to stipulate the punishment, you must keep it in mind.

Be familiar with the business scope of this unit and the customers related to your position. The more detailed and clear these contents are, the more helpful they will be to you.

Understand the previous work in this position, so as to have a comparison. Knowing how much you will be appreciated, you will be fired if you make any mistakes.

A new graduate in the office.

You just graduated and can't wait to enter the workplace. Miss the university time, it is inevitable that people are a little sad and disappointed. However, these will soon be overwhelmed by the excitement and challenges brought by the new life that has arrived: you are eager to try and get hired by your favorite company. However, as a rookie, the most important thing at the moment is how to fully show your superior aspects to everyone during the "running-in period". There is a saying that a good beginning means half the battle, which is really a wise saying. Compared with the "common diseases" that young people often encounter now, you might as well "sit in the right place", correct them if they have them, and encourage them if they don't.

Are you dressed properly?

When you are new here, dressing up will largely act as your "image ambassador". Student accent makes people feel that you don't want to grow up, and exaggerated and avant-garde clothes make people feel that you are frivolous or even grandstanding. Letting colleagues treat you as a child or a "new and new human" will have a negative impact on the future, and the first impression is often quite stubborn. Instead of trying to correct it later, it is better to plan ahead.

In fact, as long as you choose some relatively conservative and formal clothes, you will leave a good impression. You don't have to wear a suit, skirt and shiny shoes, but there is no doubt that jeans and Nike shoes that were originally covered with youthful sweat must be taken off. It seems that the alternative clothes that are too fashionable and trendy can only be worn until the weekend. Even if you want to join the most fashionable IT industry, even if you can make an eclectic clothing list of "Internet upstarts", it's a pity that wearing a suit without a tie and sneakers is "cool" for them and "rustic" and inappropriate for you.

Can you get help from your colleagues?

Getting familiar with colleagues as soon as possible will reduce your confusion about strange jobs. We can do some auxiliary work for other colleagues, such as cleaning, sorting out newspaper documents and answering phones. , such as printing materials, filling out simple forms, etc. , give people the impression of diligence, easy to integrate into the circle of colleagues, and get everyone's help and support. But you can't run around on big and small issues, whether it has anything to do with yourself or not. To be honest, not everyone likes you like this, and not everything needs you like this. Never let asking for advice with an open mind develop into servility and timidity that flatters or even has no principles. You must respect everyone and make everyone respect you. Therefore, it is important that you always keep your independent temperament.

Besides, it's one thing not to meet big people, and it's another to meet small people. Snobbers are often looked down upon. Objectively speaking, superiors and ordinary colleagues should be slightly different, but they are not snobs or slaves. And for newcomers, a good mass base may be more practical than the appreciation of the boss.

Will it be involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong?

Among my colleagues, there are always some people who love to gossip. When commenting on right and wrong, as a newcomer, it is impossible to understand the ins and outs of things, let alone have the ability to correctly analyze and judge. Therefore, it is best to remain silent, not to participate in discussions, not to spread rumors, and not to be in a hurry to become one with someone or a circle, so as not to be accidentally involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong.

Watch your words at all times. All the time is spent chatting, complaining and discussing with colleagues, and all the short time is spent on parents thinking calmly and doing things efficiently. Remember, now is not the time for you to communicate with your colleagues at will.

Do you hate doing small things?

Because bosses or colleagues often don't understand your talents, they won't entrust you with the heavy responsibility at first and let you do some trivial chores and small things. You have no choice but to try to finish it perfectly in the shortest time. This is the most effective way to gain the trust of the boss. Don't be conceited, thinking you are overqualified; Or if you don't reach your goal in a few days, you begin to wonder if you chose the wrong unit. No one can eat a fat man in one bite. If you want to be brilliant, you must first endure loneliness.

Are you afraid to show yourself?

It's too bad. When the leader is present, you flinch, fall behind others, and speak so quietly that people sitting next to you can't hear you. Be confident! You might as well sit where the leader can easily see you at the meeting. If you let everyone speak, you will bravely speak out your accumulated rationalization suggestions in an orderly way, and your performance will naturally impress those leaders who may not care much about you. But be careful not to show impatience, not to mention boasting and pretending to be the host, otherwise, you might as well be a serious listener.

Do you know anything about corporate culture?

In fact, all the problems, the final crux can be attributed to the lack of understanding of corporate culture. Every company has its own cultural atmosphere: some advocate publicity, and some advocate calmness; Some require employees to step by step, while others require employees to be more proactive. It is not only reflected in the specific work style and leadership thinking, but also in the clothing culture and interpersonal communication art that employees admire. These are often the survival laws of enterprises, which ultimately determine what image you appear in the company, how you conduct your daily work, and how you deal with leaders and colleagues. If you are a responsible person, you can adapt to the new environment as soon as possible and be comfortable in your future life.
