I am a student at a normal college. Can you tell me how to respond during an interview?

Interview Strategy

---The first step into society

After graduating from school and choosing their dream industry, they are immediately faced with how to choose employment. There are many subtle issues such as the workplace attire to apply for, how to make a good impression through body language such as shaking hands, and how to find your best position in a conference room attended by many people. Although society is increasingly emphasizing the principle of mood dominance, job seekers must first adapt to some traditional concepts in society.

How to buy your first suit?

Master the basic colors and match them with great taste.

Although men's fashion has changed to a mood-driven matching principle, it seems that it is better to leave the baggy skateboard pants, casual backpacks stuffed with belongings and cool sneakers on campus. After all, the way you dress as a student is not easy to impress the interview supervisor. "Buddhas need gold, people need clothes." Clothing is also the key to scoring personal workplace etiquette in addition to professional abilities.

Before going out of school, students always invest in their own knowledge and skills; before entering the workplace, clothing has become a mess? 擞?游eggplant≡竦 Tomb?Jiu Li Di Xin wielding punishment Jue Badger Na Li Dang┳Looking forward to the curtain?S along with Yuhuang?The man was lucky enough to steal the Xuan clam and threaten Huang?Thumb┮抡苎В?缟饷 Miscellaneous Silly Tomb?Net Although the fashion matching principles are becoming more and more casual, however, for the elderly, For a senior interview supervisor, there is a certain impression of the traditional workplace in his mind. Do you dare to take the risk of asking him to accept the latest popular concepts?

Mr. Xie, the manager of a British clothing brand, used his own experience in interviewing employees to suggest that fashionable clothing that is too exaggerated is not suitable for men applying for jobs in the film and television industry. A good-quality suit, shirt, and tie of the same color, neatly and appropriately dressed, can highlight your professional temperament, show respect for the company, and win the favor of the interview supervisor.

However, different industries have different color tones and cuts. Job seekers, in particular, cannot help but purchase new clothes in a fashion-conscious market environment. Their sense of fashion will affect the choice of clothing tones and patterns.

Generally, people in different industries have different receptivity to popular changes. The communication, advertising, and apparel industries are liberal and open-minded, while the financial, construction, and manufacturing industries are mostly conservative.

As for consulting, electronics, communications, Internet and other industries that have been popular in recent years, the degree of acceptance of popularity should be relatively free, but the choice and matching of clothing presents two interesting extremes.

People in these industries generally consider themselves to be at the forefront of the times. On the one hand, they feel that dressing cannot be too old-fashioned and outdated, but in order to cope with the occasional formal occasions that they must attend, orthodox clothing is indispensable in their wardrobes. The suit combination, but after leaving public places, work clothes look very casual.

Dark blue and dark gray are fashionable colors that will never quit.

For job seekers who may be wearing formal clothes for the first time, the color selection is based on the principle of practicality. Basic colors such as dark blue and dark gray that will not go out of fashion can be given priority. Plain faces Or straight stripe colors can be chosen according to personal preference.

Among them, dark blue is the most conventional choice. Gray suits, which are still popular in recent years, can also show a youthful and energetic dressing style. Coupled with a white, blue or gray shirt and a plain tie, they can all present a personal look. taste and professional image.

In terms of styles, most spring and summer suits in recent years have been single-row designs. Three-button styles can show slender lines and youthfulness, while four-button suits are more popular.

For young men who want to have fashionable taste without being overly fashionable and slutty, breaking the rules of suits, shirts and ties is also a dressing rule recognized by some industries. For example, a non-traditional tailored suit paired with a crew-neck shirt or a knitted sweater that is popular this summer will be particularly helpful for job seekers applying for communications and advertising jobs.

Gold buckle blazer, can be formal or casual.

Job seekers who may only wear it once for an interview and don’t have many opportunities to wear it in the future can actually choose a multi-purpose gold button suit that can be used for both formal and casual purposes. Its characteristic is that it can be worn in formal occasions on weekdays. It can be paired with a formal tie. If paired with a casual shirt without a tie at a formal holiday party, it will not only show respect for the host, but will not be too casual.

Especially when the purchase price of suits is slightly higher, you can consider adding low-priced shirts and ties to a suit to meet the need for future work changes.

When choosing clothing, the length of the clothing should cover the hips, the sleeve length should be as long as 1/2 the back of the hand, and the length of the trousers should reach 1 to 1.5 centimeters above the heel of the shoe. The best length of tie is at the head of the belt. In addition, job seekers should also pay attention to dress etiquette. Generally speaking, the fabric of the shirt should not be too thin to prevent the underwear from being transparent and unsightly. Leather shoes and socks should match the color of the trousers. Never wear white socks. Complete with a suit. In addition, the length of socks should be as long as the calf to prevent leg hair from being exposed, which will make the overall wear less effective.

-----Know yourself and your enemy

Before applying for a job, you should fully analyze your own strengths and weaknesses, determine your personal development goals, and choose an employer purposefully. Among the candidate units, you can learn about the current situation of the unit through various channels, analyze whether the unit has its own use and its prospects for development, and formulate corresponding application strategies. The situation of a unit can often be analyzed from the following aspects:

1. The size of the organization. Each institution, large or small, has its own advantages and disadvantages. You should judge whether the institution is suitable for you based on your own strengths, positioning and interests.

2. Reputation. The company's reputation within and outside the industry is important to an employee's career. If it is a large-scale and reputable organization, others' evaluation of you will naturally increase, which will be extremely helpful for future development.

3. Development potential. By understanding the organization's past records and development policies, we can roughly speculate on its future development.

4. Personnel composition. The proportion of high-quality employees can predict whether your ability can be reused in the organization and whether you can take on challenging work.

5. Business scope. Strong units have a wider business scope, and employees have training opportunities in multiple different departments, which is conducive to growth.

6. Hardware facilities. From the office building (factory), equipment, office conditions, etc., we can roughly understand whether the organization has certain strength.

7. Nature of work. For job seekers whose main goal is personal development rather than remuneration, jobs that are challenging, diverse, and fulfilling are more attractive.

8. Job training. From an organization's on-the-job training policy, you can determine whether the organization pays attention to the improvement of employee quality and its investment strategy in human resources.

9. Promotion opportunities. Whether the agency's promotion system is fair and reasonable. If you work hard and have few opportunities for promotion even if you have talent and achievements, it will not be conducive to employee advancement, and it also shows that this organization is not worth choosing.

10. Benefits. Including wages, bonuses, labor protection, pension insurance, unemployment insurance, medical insurance, etc., which are related to issues such as eliminating worries and focusing on starting a business.

-----Master the opportunity to apply for a job

Choosing the best opportunity to apply for a job will help improve the success rate of applying for a job.

It is more advantageous around New Year's Day because it is the time when work for the next year is being arranged, including personnel adjustments.

In January, early or mid-January is best. In the second half of the year, organizations are generally busy arranging work plans for next month, which is quite busy.

Monday and Tuesday are the best times of the week. Even if you are unable to receive the person at that time, you can consider arranging it for the next few days. Do not come to apply for a job on the weekend, because the supervisor may have other activities arranged during the weekend. It's easy to get bored when you're looking for a job from time to time.

Of course, the best time of the day is in the morning, and one or two hours after work. This is a good time to arrange your time. People's mental state is not good in the afternoon, and they are more nervous due to the finishing work of the day and the work arrangements for the next day.

----Interview taboos

(1) Do not drink before the interview. Drinking will make people's brains slow, and being greedy will make people lose their minds.

(2) Do not chew gum during the interview. Chewing gum while talking will leave a casual and careless impression, making the examiner think that you are not serious about the interview and that you are not speaking well when chewing gum.

(3) Do not smoke during the interview. If the examiner asks you to smoke, even if you are a smoker, you should say "thank you" and then politely refuse. It is better not to smoke. Because smoking will affect the examiner's attention, and you may interrupt your speech due to smoking while answering questions, which will leave a bad impression.

(4) Don’t follow the dragon and the phoenix. If some of your relatives and friends are powerful or famous, don't be smart and bring them out to build momentum. Even if the examiner asks, he can only give a brief introduction in an understatement. Otherwise, sometimes it will be counterproductive and make people think that you have no real ability.

(5) Don’t make jokes or make jokes. It is certainly good to be able to show your sense of humor appropriately during an interview. If you are not good at humor or controlling humor, it is best to answer questions honestly, otherwise you will leave a frivolous impression on others.

----Interview Strategy: Take the Initiative

No matter how skilled you are in job hunting, you may still be able to answer questions calmly and calmly in interviews with your "favorite" company. , but my heart is still cautious and cautious. In fact, as long as you master some seemingly insignificant "details", you can be free and easy and maintain a good atmosphere in the interview.

Be good at breaking the silence

At the beginning of the interview, the candidate is not good at "breaking the ice" (the literal translation in English is to break the silence) and waits for the interviewer to open the conversation. During the interview, the candidates were unwilling to take the initiative to speak due to various concerns, which resulted in a cold start in the interview. Even if he could barely break the silence, his voice and intonation were extremely stiff, making the scene even more embarrassing. In fact, whether before or during the interview, the interviewer takes the initiative to greet and chat, which will leave a good impression on the interviewer that he is enthusiastic and good at talking to others.

Remain responsive

Interviewers often bring up or touch on things that make candidates embarrassed. Many people are blushing about this, or they evade or lie and deal with it, instead of answering honestly and explaining directly. For example, the interviewer asked: Why did you change jobs three times in five years? Some people may talk about how difficult the job is, how the superiors are not supportive, etc., instead of telling the interviewer: Working in different jobs has enriched my knowledge, and I have learned a lot and matured a lot.

Be good at asking questions to the interviewer

Some people ask questions when they shouldn’t, such as interrupting the interviewer’s conversation and asking questions during the interview. There are also people who are not sufficiently prepared to ask questions before the interview and do not know what to say when it is their turn to ask questions. In fact, a good question is better than countless words in a resume and will impress the interviewer.

Don’t get too close to the interviewer

Interviewers with certain professional qualities are taboo about getting too close to the candidates, because the relationship between the two parties during the interview is too casual or too tense, which will affect the interview. The official's judgment. Excessive "approximation" will also objectively prevent candidates from making a good presentation of their professional experience and skills in the short interview time. Smart candidates can list one or two well-founded things to praise the recruiting unit to show your interest in the company.

The interview ends with a clever ending

At the end of the interview, many job candidates will be incoherent and at a loss due to the excitement of success or the fear of failure. In fact, at the end of the interview, the candidate may wish to express your understanding of the job position, enthusiastically tell the interviewer that you are interested in the position, and ask what the next step is; shake hands with the interviewer with a smile and thank the interviewer for the reception. and consideration for you.

----Strive to express yourself

The content of your speech in the interview is important, but the examiners will pay more attention to the way and manner you speak, and in order to determine whether you are suitable For this job, the examiners will also check whether you can integrate with the company.

Always show your enthusiasm during the interview and don’t give up easily.

Shake hands with the examiner before the interview, smile and look him in the eye. After the interview, also shake hands with him and say goodbye.

Sit comfortably in the chair, but do not sink your body into the chair. Unless you are sitting on a soft chair or sofa, do not sit too far away as this will make the examiner feel distant.

Even if you think things are going well, don't act too complacent. Even if you know how to smoke, you should not smoke on such occasions.

Don’t joke around in such situations and avoid jokes and humor that are inappropriate for the occasion.

Before the interview begins, take out the pen and notepad you carry with you and record the key points of the entire interview process. Be especially interested in and pay attention to the details.

If the examiner receives a phone call during the interview, you can take out a piece of material from your briefcase and read it a few minutes after he answers the phone. This makes you look smart and shows that you have a strong sense of time, and more importantly allows the examiner to better handle that call without the feeling of surveillance.

----Some common questions in interviews

Why do you like this job?

Why do you want to quit your original job?

Why were you fired from your original employer?

Which experience in your past work are you most proud of?

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

You have different work experience than this job or no work experience, so how can you do this job?

Why should we hire you?

What other interests do you have?

During the interview process, listen carefully, observe, and judge what kind of answers the examiner likes. Some people like to hear examples from your work experience, some people want to know your work ability, some people want you to give a simple self-introduction, and some people like to hear you give a detailed explanation. Try to find out from the examiner's mannerisms what answers they like, and then answer these or similar questions accurately.

----Response skills during interviews

Response is the main form of the interview. Excellent answering skills can improve your interview performance and win.

1. Answer all questions. No matter what the question is, answer it. This is the most basic principle.

2. Be frank and sincere. Some involve highly professional issues and you really don’t understand them, so just admit it frankly.

3. Side answer. To answer some questions positively is to deny yourself, so you should try to turn words that may deny yourself into words that affirm yourself.

4. Counterattack. Some questions are too tricky and really impossible to answer. You might as well counterattack and ask the other party, which can also have unexpected results.

5. Making a fuss over a trivial matter. The examiner sometimes asks some "big" questions. You must answer "small" questions and don't talk without choice or purpose. The general technique is to talk around the position you are applying for.

Examples of answering interview questions

The principles and techniques for answering interview questions are: avoid the edge; change the subject; covertly; avoid the important and take the easy. The key is to change from passive to active, and turn the problem to an aspect that can be actively manipulated.

Question 1: Do you like the high salary in our unit?

Suggested answer: Employees hope for good benefits, which come from a scientific management system. It's not hard to find an employer with good remuneration, but there aren't many with good management.

Technique: Secretly crossing Chencang: praising the company in an extremely clever and invisible way.

Question 2: Why did your original employer fire you?

Suggested answer: It’s not dismissal, it’s my resignation. Because I think the original unit is nepotistic and I don't want to waste my time there.

Technique: Change the subject: lead to other topics.

Question 3: The original unit is far better than us in terms of scale, reputation, efficiency, and treatment. Why do you want to come to us?

Suggested answer: A person's value is not only reflected in salary. A person's success does not depend on a big tree to enjoy the shade. As long as there is a place for one's talents, one's own value and success can be reflected no matter where. .

Tip: Avoid the edge: do not answer directly, but show your confidence and ambition.

Question 4: What are your shortcomings?

Suggested answer: I have many shortcomings, but I believe that some of my shortcomings will not affect my strengths.

Technique: Avoid the important and take advantage of the easy: show full confidence.

----Who are not welcome in the workplace?

Shark type: self-righteous, feeling good about themselves, and unwilling to cooperate with others. If such people continue to insist on going their own way, they will inevitably isolate themselves and be easily abandoned by the professional society that advocates "team spirit".

Antique type: stick to the rules, unwilling or even reject anything new, outmoded. People who cannot actively adapt to the changing times will only die.

Machine type: Send a command and press the button to make it move. It lacks proactive spirit. Think about it, would the ever-changing society want such a person?

Trumpet type: Those who only shout but do not do anything, or have loud thunder but little rain. Compared with those doers who "talk less and do more", they are more likely to lose opportunities in the competition.

Fox type: The future society needs real doers rather than conspirators. The combination of wisdom and morality makes you invincible.

Slow type: In market competition, those who act slowly and inefficiently will undoubtedly be overwhelmed by the tide of competition.

Sickly type: Damaging your body is not only your own loss, but also brings trouble to the collective. This matter must not be taken lightly.

-----Nine points for salary negotiation

Careful comparison: Determine your market value based on your own network?

Organizational thinking: List your requirements in detail: salary, insurance, title, vacation, if you think it is appropriate, you can also add parking spaces, travel subsidies, professional books, etc.

Just talk about the range: For example, ask for a salary between 2,000-5,000 yuan, aiming for the median.

Plan in advance: If you are not satisfied with the first interview, you can ask for a future salary increase after the interview.

Strategic considerations: Figure out what the ideal situation is and what are the acceptable conditions. Fight to get what you want, but be prepared to give in on less important issues.

Be proactive: Remember that both you and the employer are trying to get a satisfactory outcome from this negotiation.

Be open and honest: Get all the important points on the table from the start.

Be calm and collected: Give yourself time to think it over, show the person you are interested, and tell the person you will respond within a day.

Salary terms: Negotiate clearly all terms of employment---basic responsibilities, salary, and any remarks.

Pass probation

----Adapt to the environment and work as soon as possible

If you are admitted to the probation period, you must take the initiative to understand and abide by the various systems of the unit- - Management system, work system, work and rest system, etc. Strictly follow the system. Even if some old employees do not abide by the system, do not "imitate" because your "identity" is different.

Familiar with work procedures and work environment. People and things related to your work must be familiar with you in the shortest possible time.

Be familiar with the nature and tasks of your job. You must keep in mind what the requirements of your position are, how much responsibility you have, and how penalties are stipulated.

Be familiar with the business scope of the unit and the customer situation related to your position. The more detailed and clear the content of these aspects, the more helpful it will be for you.

Understand how your predecessor worked in the position so you have a comparison. Know how well you perform and you will be appreciated, and what mistakes will get you fired.

-----New graduate in the office

You have just graduated and can’t wait to enter the workplace. Nostalgic for your college days will inevitably make people feel a little sad and melancholy, but these will soon be overwhelmed by the excitement and challenges brought to you by the new life that has arrived: passing the test, getting hired by the company of your choice, you are eager to try, and you are thinking about it. However, as a fledgling, the most important thing right now is how to fully demonstrate your superior aspects to everyone during the "run-in period". There is a saying that a good start is half the battle, and this is truly a wise saying. Compared with the "common problems" that young people often encounter nowadays, you might as well "take note of them", correct them if they exist, and encourage them if they don't.

Are you dressed appropriately?

When you first arrive, the way you dress will serve as your "image ambassador" to a large extent. The student accent makes you feel like you don’t want to grow up yet, and the exaggerated and avant-garde clothes make you feel frivolous, unruly or even trying to please others.

Letting your colleagues treat you as a child or a "new and new human being" will have a negative impact in the future, and the first impression is often quite stubborn. Rather than trying to correct it later, it is better to take precautions.

In fact, as long as you choose some relatively conservative and formal clothing, you will leave a good impression. It does not necessarily have to be a suit, skirt, or shiny leather shoes, but there is no doubt that jeans and Nike shoes stained by youthful sweat are the You must take them off. Alternative clothing that is too fashionable and trendy seems to be reserved only for weekends. Even if you want to join the most fashionable IT industry today, even if you can list a series of eclectic outfits of the "Internet upstarts", it is a pity that it is "cool" for them to wear a suit without a tie and sports shoes. , to you it is "earth" and out of date.

Can you get help from your colleagues?

Getting acquainted with your colleagues as soon as possible will alleviate your confusion about unfamiliar work. You can start by cleaning, sorting newspapers and documents, answering the phone, etc., and do auxiliary work for other colleagues, such as printing information, filling in simple forms, etc., leaving a diligent impression, and easily integrating into the circle of colleagues, winning everyone's attention. help. But you can't just run around in front of and behind you whenever something big or small happens, no matter whether it has anything to do with you or not. To be honest, not everyone likes you to be like this, and not everything requires you to be like this. Never allow humbly asking for advice without principles to develop into flattery or even cowardice. You respect everyone, and you have to make everyone respect you. So the important thing is that you always maintain your independent temperament that is neither humble nor arrogant.

In addition, not being able to meet big people is one thing, and meeting little people is another way. Snobs are often looked down upon. Objectively speaking, there should be a slight difference between superiors and ordinary colleagues, but it is not a snobbery or a slave. And for newcomers, a good mass base may be more practical than appreciation from superiors.

Will you be involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong?

Among the colleagues around me, there are always some people who like to gossip. When commenting on right and wrong, as a newcomer, it is impossible to understand the ins and outs of the matter, let alone the ability to analyze and judge correctly, so it is best to remain silent, neither participate in discussions, nor spread rumors, nor be eager to get involved with a certain person or a certain circle. So as not to get involved in the whirlpool of right and wrong accidentally.

Watch your mouth at all times. Use the time you spend talking, complaining, and discussing family issues with colleagues to think calmly and do things efficiently. Remember, this is not yet the time to feel free to have heart-to-heart conversations with your colleagues.

Do you hate doing small things?

Because bosses or colleagues often do not understand your talents, they will not entrust you with important tasks at first and ask you to do more trivial chores and small things. You have no choice but to strive to complete it perfectly in the shortest time. This is the most effective way to gain the trust of your boss. Don't think that you are arrogant and think that your talents are overkill; or if you don't achieve your goals for a few days, you start to wonder if you have chosen the wrong unit. No one can become fat in one bite. If you want to be brilliant, you must first be able to endure loneliness.

Are you afraid of expressing yourself?

When the leader is present, you shrink back, retreat behind others, and speak so quietly that the people sitting next to you can't hear you. This is simply too bad. Be more confident! During the meeting, you might as well sit in a place where the leader can easily see you. If you let everyone speak, be brave enough to speak out several rational suggestions that you have accumulated in an orderly manner. Your performance will naturally make people who may not have paid much attention to you. The leaders were impressed. But be careful not to appear impatient, let alone talk too much and take over the subject. Otherwise, you might as well be a serious listener.

Do you understand corporate culture?

In fact, the final crux of all problems can be attributed to a lack of understanding of corporate culture. Every company has its own cultural atmosphere: some advocate publicity, some advocate calmness; some require employees to be step-by-step, and some require employees to be more active. It is not only reflected in the specific working methods and leadership thinking, but also in the clothing culture and the art of interpersonal communication that are respected by employees. These are often the survival rules of the enterprise, and ultimately determine what image you appear in the company and what kind of words you use. How to carry out daily work and how to deal with leaders and colleagues. If you are a thoughtful person, you will be able to adapt to the new environment early and be able to cope with your future life with ease.

-----Perform your ability to the maximum extent

The main purpose of the probation period is to examine your actual work ability. Therefore, during the probation period, you must not only work hard, but also do everything you can to show your abilities. If possible, you can ask your predecessor for advice on how to do a better job, you can refer to the practices of other colleagues in related positions, and you can also listen to the opinions of friends, teachers, etc., but more importantly, you should use your own brains. If you can not only complete tasks according to quality and quantity during the probation period, but also do one or two groundbreaking works, then your probation period will definitely pass.

-----Don't Make Mistakes

Making mistakes during the probation period, especially those with a greater impact, is tantamount to announcing the death penalty during the probation period. You must do everything possible to avoid making mistakes at work. You must do things carefully and check repeatedly; make some preparations in advance to avoid being caught off guard. If you are unsure about something, you must ask your leader or colleagues for advice. We must overcome the habit of carelessness, be cautious, and think more about why when things happen.

-----Properly handle interpersonal relationships

Have good relationships with colleagues around you. Colleagues can not only help you, guide you, and teach you experience, but also can help you after the probation period. I can help you "put in a good word". If your colleagues unanimously report that you are a good person, quite capable, and have great potential, then your probation period will definitely pass, because their evaluation directly affects the leader's final decision.

If you have a tense relationship with your colleagues, some colleagues may deliberately embarrass you at work, causing you to have zero performance during your probation period. They may also report to your superiors about your ability. If you are poor, don't like to study, etc., then it is difficult to say whether you can pass the probation period.

The key to handling interpersonal relationships well is to be modest, enthusiastic, and sincere, and handle relationships with colleagues around you in a way that makes friends. Usually ask for advice humbly, be polite and respectful to others, proactively and enthusiastically help others with their affairs, and don’t be afraid of suffering a little loss or being a little wronged. But one thing to remember: never point your eyes upward. If you only pay attention to building a good relationship with your immediate boss and treat your colleagues indifferently, others will have the impression of you being a sycophantic and flattering person, and they will feel disgusted.

Normal work

-----Etiquette and ethics at work

1. Don’t mix your work and personal lives. If you have to deal with personal matters at work, leave it until lunchtime and don't arrange for friends to visit you in your office while you're at work.

2． Don't abuse what you have the right to use. Such as fax machines, work stationery and other office supplies. Your expense account is for office expenses only, not for home and personal expenses.

5. Don't cry or do other emotionally charged things in the office. If you can't help feeling sad, leave the office, close the door, or go to the break room until you feel better again.

6． Don't just pop into someone else's office without saying hello. Make an appointment first by calling or face-to-face. It's rude to interrupt someone in the hope that they'll stop and pay attention.

8． Don't clutter your office. Take the time to tidy up your office before leaving get off work every day, or at least tidy up the work you want to put aside
