Seamen's self-introduction in the interview (2)

Seafarers' self-introduction in the interview

Another interview question may be that it is difficult for you to answer clearly in words. Especially when asked about the working principle of some machines or equipment. For example, the inspector can ask the engineer: Please describe the working mechanism of the purifier (compressor/oil-water separator/fresh water generator/generator, etc.). We found that many questions raised by the examiner involved this aspect. When you encounter such a problem, you should first think carefully. Then, if you find it difficult to answer in words, you can ask the examiner to allow you to draw pictures to explain. Therefore, I hope you'd better prepare a piece of paper and a pen before you go on stage, so that you can use them at any time when you explain. In fact, many complex turbine and machine principles are expressed by drawing, which is both basic and concise.

In a word, clarity and completeness are what examiners appreciate most.

4. Don't ask the examiner's private affairs.

When the examiner communicates with you, he may ask you many questions about himself. However, if the examiner asks the crew too many questions about personal privacy, candidates should not refuse rashly, but be a little more polite. For example, you can say:? If you really want to know the answer, I will tell you; But if you don't mind, I'd rather keep it a secret. ? After that, you smile at him to show your friendship. But generally speaking, the examiner won't ask you too many difficult questions.

But as a candidate, don't ask the examiner about his or her personal situation, especially don't touch other people's family, income, specific positions and other aspects of privacy. Asking personal questions to the examiner will cause great disgust, because many civilized people in the world are very afraid of being asked about their privacy. As for the shipowner's company, if the examiner asks you some questions, you can still ask them; If you don't ask questions clearly, ask as few as possible. In fact, almost all the general information you want to know about the examiner, your salary and benefits, the shipowner's company and even the ship you are going to board can be provided to you by overseas companies outside the interview. There is absolutely no need for you to ask the shipowner questions when interviewing you.

In addition, try not to ask the privacy of the examiner's agency. The privacy of the shipowner's company includes the salary level of seafarers of other nationalities employed by the company, how the company handles ITF, how other businesses of the company are, and how the company's funds are. Of course, if the examiner takes the initiative to introduce you to this aspect, you are welcome to ask questions, you can still ask questions in this aspect. But it's best not to be particularly sensitive and take up too much time, because the shipowner was already very tired during the interview, not to mention that there were many crew members waiting anxiously behind. Actually, the sending company will know this very well. If you are really curious, or think this information involves your personal interests, you can ask overseas companies.

5. Pay attention to your body language.

The so-called body language refers to the inner thought or mental state conveyed by human body movements. In an interview, body language is the interviewer's actions and manners. Observing the examinee's body language is a very important aspect for the examiner to examine the interviewer's mentality and personality characteristics. During the interview, candidates should correctly use body language to communicate with the examiner. This includes: letting the examiner know that you understand his question or agree with the examiner by nodding; Smile to show your friendliness to the examiner and that you have been listening carefully to the examiner's questions; Leaning forward in the chair (or close to the examiner) shows that you are very focused and interested in the problem; Use gestures occasionally to reinforce something or an idea you say. However, in the process of using the above body language, don't overdo it.

The following body language is regarded as indecent behavior: leaning on the table or leaning forward too much, clothes pockets jingling; Tap your fingers on the table or move your arms on the armrest; Play with hair, jewelry, watches, etc. Pull the ear, beard or sideburns, etc. ; Cross your legs; Facial nerve twitch; Keep rocking in the chair; Eyes kept scanning the room; Playing with clothes uneasily; Wipe the mouth, nose or the position between the nose and mouth back and forth; Twist your hands and fiddle with things or nails in your hands; Scratch your ears and cheeks; Scratch your fingers or something. In order to ensure that you have the correct sitting posture and body language during the interview, it is necessary to practice before the interview. The so-called practice before the interview is that you perform by yourself, let another person judge your performance and actions, and put forward his personal views for you to correct. In the interview practice check, we should not only pay attention to finding the movements that must not appear, but also clearly find the body language you want to use. The successful use of body language will make you look focused and enthusiastic and pay attention to the interviewer's interview.

humorous

No matter what the background, humorous people will always find their way and be handy. Humor is particularly important in shipowners' interviews. Because most examiners come from different countries thousands of miles away, hearing some humorous words in a foreign country will eliminate the fatigue of business trip and the tension of work. For example, a foreign shipowner asked a young intern:

Are you married? Why do you want to be a sailor? Are you married? Why do you want to be a sailor? This is a very serious problem.

The intern replied:

No, not yet. But I have a girlfriend. I won? I can't get married until I have worked on the ship for a year. Money can make me more handsome and attractive to my wife. That's why I want to work for a year and earn some money before I marry my girlfriend. But I have a girlfriend, and I won't get married until my one-year contract is over. Money can make me more beautiful and attractive to my girlfriend, so I want to work on a boat to make money. )

Of course, humor should be measured, and it is important not to joke with the examiner at will.

7. In an interview? Two commandments? (Never two)

1. Don't try to be brave, talk fiercely and be clever. As soon as some crew members enter the interview place, they are unrestrained and high-spirited, and they show superiority everywhere, as if nothing can be solved. Whether the examiner likes it or not, take the initiative to shake hands and then sit down safely; Or show contempt for the questions raised by the examiner, and always like to bring some questions such as:? I think? Or? Yes, I know, I know. ? No problem. ? In that case, no matter right or wrong, it's all empty talk. Originally, I really didn't know the answers to some questions, but I pretended to be smart and rambled, preferring to miss the questions rather than be honest. Some even argue with the examiner. This may not only make a joke, but also make the examiner feel that you are floating, more virtual than real, emotional and bloody, and you don't pay attention to the interview at all, and you don't pay attention to the questions raised by the examiner. In fact, people who have this kind of behavior are prone to conflict with others in their actual work and life.

It should also be reminded that when answering questions, especially in positions other than captain and chief engineer, questions should not be too perfect. Shipowners sometimes think that people who are too smart and rational can't work on the ship.
