Remember to be measured in interviews

Remember to be measured in interviews. When we are looking for a job, if we want to stand out in the interview, in addition to an attractive resume, the most important thing is Your own skills and methods in interviews. Let’s take a look at the interview. Remember to be measured. Remember to be measured in interviews 1

I have had two failed interview experiences, which I will never forget. Once, I applied for a job as an editor in a fashion magazine. I passed everything, but was eliminated in the end. I was confused, so I mustered up the courage to call the examiner to ask the reason, only to find out that I was rejected because I was not wearing professional attire. From then on, I wore a skirt or suit every time I went to an interview.

Another time I was applying to be an editor for a government publication. After talking for half an hour, and when we were about to go to Hong Kong, the examiner suddenly said: "I'm going on a business trip. I'll contact you when I get back." I understood. , the so-called "I'm going on a business trip" is just an excuse. Later, I learned that the examiner thought I was "too eloquent, talked too much, was outgoing, and too lively, so I was not suitable for editing." From then on, I paid attention to being measured during interviews and did not say a word too much.

However, some examiners appreciate candidates who can speak well. When I went to an insurance company and advertising company to interview salespeople, I talked a lot about it. I talked to a female examiner for 2 hours in an advertising company. , from work to women's favorite hobby - shopping, we both like long skirts and culottes. At the end of the conversation, the female examiner treated me to a box of company meals and solemnly informed me to try it out next Monday. They said that I could become the best salesperson in their company and be promoted to department manager in less than a year, just like her. Later, within a year, I was promoted to manager in the third month.

During the interview, you should promote yourself appropriately, but you should not be too sharp and make the examiner uncomfortable. I registered in the job market, and the director of the editorial board of a large reference book took the initiative to call me and ask for an interview. During the conversation, I corrected many of his mistakes, such as grammatical errors in the pronunciation of Chinese words and the logic of sentences, which made him very uncomfortable.

I talked a lot about the joys and sorrows of submitting articles: the pain of submitting 10 articles and getting one published, the sense of accomplishment after the article was published, the excitement when the name was turned into typeface, the conversation was full of excitement, but the examiner’s expression became more and more complicated. It became more and more ugly, and finally he said to me: "Our temple is small and cannot accommodate the great Bodhisattva. You are underestimating your talents by coming here. Find another job." This made me unable to get off the stage.

The interview is a test that job seekers must pass. Just like a student's exam, it is impossible to get 100 points every time, but job seekers must try their best to get more points, lose less points, and get fewer points. Lose points you shouldn't lose. At the same time, you must also maintain a normal mind, do not worry about gains and losses, and it is best to relax. Remember to be measured in interviews 2

Interview tips to avoid making a fool of yourself in interviews:

Good jobs are getting harder and harder to find. In addition to preparing a resume that is eye-catching enough, how can you be successful in the interview? stand out? At least the following 10 common mistakes should be avoided:

Rhetoric. First of all, if you talk too much, you will not be able to get to the point in answering the question; secondly, it is easy to create the impression of deliberately whitewashing or pretending not to understand.

Lame handshake. As important as your opening remarks are, a handshake conveys yourself in the first place. The posture and strength should be just right, body language often directly reveals a lot of secrets.

Talk negatively about a current or former boss. No matter how good the reason for complaining is, when you show disrespect for your former boss, the interviewer will naturally think of your evaluation of him in the future. So, it’s never a bad thing to be prepared if you’re asked a question like, “How would you rate your current or former boss?”

Offend the interview receptionist. Reception staff have to deal with many interviewers every day. Even if the other party is indifferent, you still can't retaliate in kind.

Arriving late or too early. Arriving 10 minutes early not only shows respect for the interviewer, but also expresses that your time is valuable and you have a correct view of time.

Ask about salary, time off, and other benefits information during the first interview. Just as a salesperson usually won't ask for your credit card information before you buy something, it's best to wait until both parties have a clear intention to discuss such issues.

Too many Verbalticks. Usually when you are nervous, you will incorporate a lot of mantras or sayings and often repeat them. So if you feel nervous, it’s best to pause for two or three seconds to collect your thoughts and make a clear and complete expression. Hemming and hawing, then. . . Then. . . The way of expression will make you lose a lot of points.

No preparation for the interview. Failure to prepare can only mean that you are not very interested in the job.

Cannot adapt to the interview style. The interviewer's interview style varies from person to person, and you should always adjust and adapt to the other person's style. If the other person is very serious, don't make random jokes; if the other person likes to be straightforward, don't beat around the bush. In short, make communication comfortable and natural.

Too little or too much eye contact. Too little eye contact represents lack of confidence and indifference, but if you keep staring at the other person, the other person will feel unnatural. If you are not sure about finding a balance, practice with a friend first.

It may be difficult to express all of a person in an interview of just a few dozen minutes, but it is enough to express the best, even a small part. Remember to be measured during the interview 3

After the interview, sometimes I feel unsure and want to call the interviewer to ask how I performed, but I dare not; sometimes I am already unsure about the whole process. I have a prediction of the effect of the interview, but I still want to hear what the interviewer has to say, but I am afraid that the interviewer will reject it, which will only increase the bad impression of myself, so I can only wait in contradictions and entanglements...

In fact, sometimes the interview review lasts until after the interview is over, so it is not absolute whether or not to call the interviewer.

01 A friend of mine finally got the job because he called the interviewer a week after the interview.

The process is actually like this: After my friend completed the phone interview, he waited for a week without any notification (this company is a small and medium-sized enterprise, and there is no official recruitment website to view the interview results).

I thought I might have failed, but I was unwilling to give in, so I called politely to ask about the results of the interview, and briefly expressed my desire to join this company.

The other party’s answer was very official: “Please wait patiently. The results are not out yet. We will notify you as soon as they are available.”

My friend just waited again. A week later, she suddenly received a call from the interviewer one morning, telling her that she had been admitted, but that she would join the job that afternoon. Although it was urgent, she still joined the job on time.

Later I learned by chance that it was actually the person who had been admitted who had temporarily regretted his decision. HR needed to find a previous interviewee to take his place as soon as possible, and the friend’s phone call played a big role: At that time, more than two weeks had passed, and the only person the interviewer could remember was the one who called her.

02 So if the company you are applying for is a small or medium-sized enterprise, there is no online system that can tell you whether you failed or passed the interview, let alone send you a long rejection letter. In this case, there is no feedback from phone calls, emails, or text messages. It is better to call HR a week after the interview. This can not only deepen his (her) impression of you, but also ask about the interview feedback results to put your mind at ease.

Are you worried that making this call will leave a bad impression on HR?

You can refer to my ideas:

1. If the result of your interview is hung up, then even if it is a bit abrupt to make a phone call, it will not have much impact on the future. No, you can't get into this company anyway. But this will put your mind at ease and start applying for the next job as soon as possible.

2. If you are asked to wait for the result, there are two situations:

First, the other party is hesitating to make a choice, and generally the wording will not be too harsh. Tough and official. Your call at this time actually attracts the interviewer's attention, which is a bonus. Express your gratitude for this interview opportunity and your desire for this job. It would be better if you can chat with the interviewer again.

Second, the other party may not be the only one who decides whether you are admitted, and the wording is more official and not very friendly. At this time, whether you gain points or deduct points depends on your communication skills. If your communication skills are weak, then don't talk too much, briefly express your desire for this company, and just say "Excuse me" to the other party.

3. If you have passed the interview, but you have not been notified yet...it just means that you will be more passive when negotiating salary, which will give you peace of mind. However, generally if you are accepted, you will be notified as soon as possible and you will not be kept waiting for a long time. After all, talents are precious and if you are late, they will be signed by other companies.

Although it is a bit abrupt to call and ask about the interview results, what is the worst outcome? Instead of worrying about waiting, it is better to pick up the phone and ask. After all, an interview opportunity is hard to come by.

03 In relatively large companies, it is a default policy not to call again after the interview, because you can just look at the results of the online application system.

Some students are still unwilling to give in. Here are two suggestions for those who "do not know what the interviewer thinks will make them die":

First, when your interview is about to end, the interviewer asks When you ask "What else do you want to ask me?" you can ask him about his general impression of your entire interview.

See this article for details on how to answer "What else do you want to ask me?"

Second, you can do this during the period after the interview ends and before the interview results come out ( (The earlier the better), send the interviewer a thank you email. In addition to thanking you, the email also states your highlights and things that were not shown in the interview. Keep it brief. At the end of the email, ask the interviewer what they think of you. This impression actually evolved into a secondary self-promotion.

Although in most cases it is best not to disturb the interviewer by calling, it is not absolute whether you call the interviewer or not to ask about the result. If you really want to join this company, it doesn't matter if you sacrifice a little personal impression and salary chips, what do you think?
