"I don't know how, but I can learn!" This is the stupidest thing to say in an interview! Smart people say so

“I don’t know how to do it, but I can learn!”

This is the stupidest thing to say in an interview!

It just so happens that many young people think it’s okay to say this. And their reasons seem to be very reasonable -

"If you don't know it, you have to admit it! Saying this makes us appear humble and honest, and it can also leave an impression of studiousness on HR. It's perfect! ”

What a perfect P!

When you say this, you have been eliminated!

So, let’s analyze why you can’t say “I don’t know how, but I can learn”, and then talk about how to answer.

01. Never deny yourself during an interview

The purpose of going to other companies for interviews is to tell them how good we are and make them feel that we are suitable for that position. , and then hire us; instead of denying ourselves and letting the other party think that we have a certain flaw, they will eliminate us in their hearts.

Therefore, during the interview, never deny yourself. The most basic principle is not to say those negative words, such as -

"I can't!" "I don't That's great!" "I don't know much about this!" "I haven't been exposed to it..." Once you say these words, HR's first reaction is that you have shortcomings. It’s time to think about it——

“Will this shortcoming have any impact on that position? Say yes, it seems not; say no, it seems to be slightly possible. Oops , Forget it, it’s better to be on the safe side and reject this person!”

Don’t think I’m being alarmist, HR really thinks this way and will actually do it.

The reason is very simple, just three words, there is no need -

"There are so many people interviewing, why should I, HR, hire a person with such shortcomings like you?" ? If this shortcoming of yours causes losses to the company in the future, and the company makes another mistake, won’t I, the HR, have to take the blame? ”

02. Interviews are for finding a job, not for finding a job. In order to be an "apprentice"

Many people think that "I can learn" is to tell others that I am eager to learn and have strong learning ability.

But as everyone knows, HR will think that you are not here to find a job, but to be an "apprentice".

The company is not a training institution, so why should we recruit apprentices?

Besides, not only do you not pay, but you also get a salary. What kind of apprentice is this?

Every company is very realistic and all they care about is profit. If I recruit someone who doesn't know anything and has to spend a lot of time learning, it will definitely waste the time and cost of some old employees and the company's operating costs. It's not worth it.

Unless you are really talented, for example, a 985 graduate with a promising future, the other company may be willing to accept you as an "apprentice" in order to bet on your future contribution.

03. Smart people answer HR this way

At this time, some people have to say: "I can't do everything! Besides, young people don't have much work experience. , You can’t just say that you can do it if you don’t know it. Wouldn’t that be a lie? ”

Indeed, during an interview, it is best not to lie unless you have to. However, even if you really don't know how to do it, don't say it outright. Instead, you should highlight the value of your abilities and the benefits you can create for the company, so that HR recognizes you.

Once upon a time, an applicant once answered like this. I think it’s pretty good. You can learn from it -

“My major is completely matched with the position in your company. I am familiar with all kinds of professional knowledge. When I was a senior, I participated in a similar project. As the person in charge, I led the team to complete the task perfectly.

In this regard, I feel that although various projects are slightly different, they are essentially the same. I can get started quickly and can form good cooperation with our colleagues. Please rest assured on this point. ”

Saying this directly bypasses the question of “I don’t know how”, but tells HR that he has similar experience (as long as he has some experience), and at the same time emphasizes that his ability to transfer knowledge is very good. Strong, you will not be a hindrance to the team after you join the company, eliminating the worries of HR

Conclusion:

Once you work, you are an adult!

Adults, you should speak more mellowly, don't deny yourself too bluntly, you will easily suffer losses
