During the interview, I asked you why you want to change careers. How can you answer the question to get the most points?

First, understand your past job position

What people fear most is self-change. If you have such great determination to change careers, if you think about it from a negative perspective, the interviewer will be suspicious. Is it because you did not do well in that job in the past, so you changed careers? It is inferred that your work ability is not good enough, so even if you change to a new position, your ability will not be good. Many interviewers have this kind of guess in mind, so when you ask this question, it depends on whether you can have a reasonable explanation.

Second: Whether there is sufficient experience accumulation.

If a person in the workplace wants to change careers and apply for a job, the interviewer must be concerned about whether he has sufficient experience accumulation or knowledge reserves. As a candidate, you must first consider how to dispel the interviewer's concerns. You should describe your understanding of the new position and your knowledge reserves.

Third: Do you have a clear career plan?

Frequent cross-industry job hunting will lead to frequent low-level employment, which will have a very negative impact on the development of people in the workplace. The interviewer actually does not object to you changing careers. What he is afraid of is that if you change careers haphazardly without understanding yourself and without clear planning, there will be a great risk in using you in this position in their company in the future. As an applicant, you should state your career development plan in detail to let the interviewer dispel the concerns of frequent low-level job-hopping.

Fourth: Outlook for the new job

Interviewers hope to see clear job search goals and positive job search attitudes in job applicants, so job seekers must show these. Job hunting itself is not aimless. While finding the target position, you must also understand the corporate culture, corporate philosophy and corporate system of the new position. When answering questions, if the job seeker can demonstrate his or her suitability for the job and loyalty to the company, the interviewer will recognize your answer more and extend their olive branch to you.

Fifth: Test your expression ability

Another purpose of the interviewer asking this question is to see how you express it. When some people describe their previous jobs, they make a few sentences here and there, but fail to answer the point. Because this question is open-ended, you can have various reasons to answer it, so how to organize the language well in a short time and convince the interviewer actually depends on your expression skills.

Sixth: Worry about learning ability.

Normally, changing to a new job will involve learning new knowledge. Technology updates in some fields are relatively frequent, especially in Internet-related fields. Interviewers are often worried. . Applicants should state their learning ability at this time. A good way to do this is to give a specific case.

Seventh: Examine your professional accomplishment

Motivation, traits, attitude, and sense of responsibility are the key factors that determine the success or failure of professionals. The interviewer's job is to screen and find the best talents for the company. They not only focus on the professional ability and knowledge reserve of the job seeker, but also care about the job seeker's professional accomplishment. Professional quality specifically includes professional ethics, professional skills, professional behavior, professional style and professional awareness. Professional quality is a focus in the interview. Questions such as "Why do you want to change careers" are different from general common questions. They are personal questions and can best reveal the true professional quality of job seekers.

Eighth: Attitude towards the original job position.

From a macro perspective, there is no difference between the position and the industry itself. When the interviewer asks why he changed careers, he is actually examining the applicant's attitude towards the original job, which will reflect the applicant's attitude to a certain extent. professional quality.

Here are some tips for answering these questions:

1. If you are not completely sure, don’t lie

The biggest problem many people have during interviews is that they like to lie! It's not necessarily impossible to lie. You have to be well prepared in advance and think over your answer repeatedly. At least it should sound reasonable on the surface. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, try to answer based on the actual situation, but the content can be modified with language.

2. Don’t completely deny the past

Many people habitually describe their past job as worthless when it comes to changing careers! In fact, if you deny your past work, you are denying your past self! I suggest you face the past head-on and review the gains and losses of your past job. Where did you grow and where did you become a bottleneck? Only by explaining the past clearly, thoroughly and reasonably can you continue to apply for the current job.

3. Looking forward to new jobs

Explain your past work, and you will naturally have to explain why you chose to apply for this position when changing careers. You can answer by combining your own personality characteristics, the prospects of the new position, and the long-term interests of your career plan.
