Job interview question: Why did you apply for the position of assistant to the general manager? How to answer?

If you want to achieve something in your career and do a good job, you must first enter the threshold of the company, that is, pass the interview. The popular assistant manager position in recruitment is favored by many job seekers. How can I succeed in the interview? Let's look at the following case first! Assistant Manager Interview Case: A company recruited an assistant to the general manager. After strict selection, four candidates entered the interview. The interview was personally checked by the general manager. The applicant entered the general manager's office and just sat down, which happened to be "power failure". The general manager smiled and said to the candidate, "The power is out and the air conditioner is turned off. Can you tell a joke to ease everyone's mood? " The three candidates didn't know there was fraud. They all told jokes that they thought were funniest. Only one candidate didn't follow the general manager's instructions, but picked up the phone in the general manager's office and asked the company's electrician what had happened. As a result, the applicant was hired. Case study: Solving the problem that should be solved is a common sense of life that even children know, but in practical work, many people just forget this common sense completely. In some units, we can often see that although the organization is sound, many things that should be solved are ignored. One of the important reasons is that employees don't understand what problems should be solved. As a result, they are busy from morning till night, but they do a lot of things they shouldn't. The assistant to the general manager is like the right-hand man of the general manager. Being competent will make the general manager even more powerful, while being incompetent is a burden. There are two criteria to measure whether an assistant is competent or not. One is to see if he knows what he should and shouldn't do, that is, he can neither exceed his authority nor do his job well. The second is to look at his ability to handle affairs and solve problems. For such an emergency as power failure, the problem to be solved is of course to find out the cause of power failure as soon as possible and restore power supply as soon as possible. Unfortunately, some candidates fail to grasp the essence of the problem and cannot solve it in the right way. What's the use of recruiting such people? Countermeasures: In the face of unexpected events, don't be confused by the present situation, and quickly find out what the real problem is. 1, treat the interview as your first day at work. Most people regard the interview as an employer's question and answer it themselves. This is a big misunderstanding in the interview. Cody Ross, a famous American headhunter, suggested to the candidates: "You should think of yourself as an employee and discuss a new plan there, instead of thinking of yourself as a job seeker who is eager to be hired, thus showing servility and passivity to Nuo Nuo." If you are really an assistant to the general manager, of course you should know what to do in the face of emergencies. Because you have to understand that the general manager doesn't pay his assistant to do things to make him happy. 2, pay attention to the way to solve the problem. For the assistant general manager, there are two ways to deal with the power failure: one is to find out the cause of the problem in person, and the other is to find out the cause of the power failure from the electrician and make corresponding treatment according to the cause of the problem. The first way is offside, because it is the electrician's job to find out the cause of power failure and repair the circuit. The second way is the way the deputy general manager handles the incident. In addition, the interviewer's question to the interviewer is to learn to combine the company's situation, fully put forward his own specific views and suggestions, show that he is familiar with the company and the workflow of this position, and provide "evidence" that he is qualified for this job both mentally and materially. Show self-confidence, modesty and generosity, make the interviewer sit up and take notice of you, and the interview success will become inevitable. ?
