Single recruitment interview skills

1. Pay attention to what you wear

"The dress does not have to be formal or fancy, but it must be clean and tidy." The person in charge Special reminder: Remember not to wear school uniforms when participating in interviews. "Some students think that wearing school uniforms can give the examiner a good impression. In fact, for the sake of fairness, we generally ask students not to wear school uniforms, especially those with school logos." Boys do not. Keep a beard and long hair, and girls should not dress too "fancy or revealing" and don't wear heavy makeup or too many decorations.

2. How to answer the examiner’s questions

Some students are worried that there will be some biased and strange questions in the interview. The person in charge said that the interview is mainly to examine the students' adaptability, expression and thinking ability. Students should have a certain understanding of the major they are applying for, "For example, why did you choose this major? Why did you enroll in our school? What kind of job do you plan to do in the future?" In addition, you may also ask some very life-related questions during the interview, "such as how to deal with the relationship between classmates, etc." These questions are not difficult. The key is to "not be silent and speak as much as possible" and to maintain certain eye contact with the examiner.

Answer sample:

Dear teachers: Good morning!

Today is a turning point in my life, because the people sitting in front of me are all senior educators and experts; to be honest, I am a little nervous, because your ratings will determine whether I can achieve my goal of becoming a teacher. A kindergarten teacher’s dream!

Before answering the first question "Why choose the career of preschool teacher", please allow me to briefly introduce myself.

I am contestant No. 5, majoring in preschool education at a university and graduating in July this year. I am about to enter the society and I am full of expectations for the future. I hope that today can be the starting point for my success. I come from an educational family. Both my parents are teachers. I have shared the fulfillment and happiness they gained from their educational work since I was a child. Their image of loving education and loving students has left a deep imprint on my heart and made me I understand the relationship between teachers and students better than my peers, so that when I was a child, I hoped that I could become an excellent people's teacher when I grew up. When I was young, my parents searched all the towns and villages near their school for my preschool education. However, there was almost no early childhood education in rural areas at that time, so I enrolled in the first grade ahead of schedule! My friends who are the same age as me have never experienced the joy and enlightenment of preschool education. So my young heart had a wish: to be a kindergarten teacher when I grow up! Let rural preschool children enjoy the opportunity of preschool education, let them enjoy education in games and enjoy happiness in education. Later, when filling out my university application, I chose the preschool education major without hesitation. Because of this, I have the honor to stand in front of all the teachers today. Maybe my answer today is not the best, but my heart is the most passionate about early childhood education!

Because you love it, you like it; because you like it, you choose it!

This is also my answer to the first question "Why choose the career of preschool teacher".

Question 2: Why choose pharmacy? Pharmacy is highly professional. With the improvement of public health awareness, the pharmaceutical industry is increasingly showing the vitality of a sunrise industry, and the employment situation is quite good. However, the course load is heavy and the study pressure is high.

Question 3: The examiner asked why you chose to study pharmacy. I don’t know how to answer! Answer - When you graduated from high school and applied for medical school, you chose medicine, which is the major you want to study and also your original intention to serve the people.

Question 4: I majored in pharmacy and will be going for an interview tomorrow. If the examiner asks why I chose this industry, how should I answer to satisfy him? Treating diseases and saving people is my ideal, because I failed to become a doctor, so I want to do my best to help patients as a pharmacist.

Question 5: I am proud of the pharmacy major I chose. The chemistry major is required at the graduate level. Subdivided! For example, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, organic chemistry, etc.! These are all science degrees! Anyone can join the teaching profession! Become a teacher in college or high school (graduate students are less likely to be university teachers)! This is my undergraduate degree!

Medicinal Chemistry: First, there are many exams to take, usually two professional courses: Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Analysis. Once you read it, you won’t want to learn it! Lots of medicines to remember! Second, the drugs used in medicinal chemistry are somewhat toxic and contain a lot of organic substances! It’s quite harmful to the body!

Environmental engineering in China is still in its infancy and relatively elementary, but going abroad is a better choice! Taking the Ph.D. exam is also a good choice! He doesn’t require much, and he basically has a foundation in environmental studies. Whether you study chemistry or biology, you can take the exam in this area! I took this for graduate school!

Question 6: Why are there so few pharmacy majors? When it comes to pharmacy, most people will immediately think of pharmaceuticals and selling medicines. In fact, this understanding is somewhat biased. Pharmacy is an ancient profession. Pharmacy has been around since the emergence of human beings and medical activities. So, what exactly is modern pharmacy? Can students really only become medical representatives after graduation? Are there any other better ways out and options? We take you to see the real pharmacy profession.

"Professional Analysis"

What is Pharmacy

Pharmacy is a major in the medical discipline of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which mainly studies knowledge related to drugs. Specifically, from the initial drug research and development, to production, processing, and final circulation and use, all processes that are related to "drugs" fall within the scope of pharmaceutical research. People often confuse pharmacy and pharmaceutical engineering. Pharmacy mainly focuses on the basic research of the drugs themselves; pharmaceutical engineering focuses on engineering, focusing on manufacturing and producing qualified drugs.

Which type of students is more suitable?

The main courses of the major are: inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, chemical analysis, physical chemistry, medicinal chemistry, natural medicinal chemistry, pharmacy , drug analysis, pharmacology, etc. Each school has different professional training directions, and the curriculum will also be different.

Pharmacy is mainly based on chemistry and biomedicine. It is not difficult to see from the courses I have studied that many of them are related to chemistry. Some people joke that pharmacy is half chemistry. From the perspective of professional learning, students who have a better foundation in chemistry and biology, or who are more interested in them, can better adapt to the study of pharmacy.

"Professional and Employment"

The employment status of undergraduate and junior college majors released by the Ministry of Education shows that the employment rate range of pharmacy majors is in stage B. The scale of graduates of this major from ordinary colleges and universities nationwide in 2012 There are 16,000-18,000 people, and the employment rate is between 80% and 85%. According to the "2013 China College Student Employment Report", the employment rate of pharmacy majors is 92.9%, ranking 43rd among the 50 undergraduate majors with high employment rates. Overall, it is in an upper-middle position.

Employment is highly specialized and the income gap is large

At present, the employment directions of pharmacy majors are roughly divided into the following categories: Scientific researchers - in research departments of universities, research institutes, and pharmaceutical companies , engaged in drug research and development; hospital pharmacists - engaged in preparation, quality inspection, clinical pharmacy, etc. in hospital pharmacy departments, pharmacies, pharmaceutical factories, etc.; drug inspectors - engaged in drug quality appraisal and formulation of corresponding quality standards in drug testing institutes Standard; company employees, pharmaceutical sales personnel - engaged in pharmaceutical production, distribution and sales in pharmaceutical trading companies or pharmaceutical enterprises.

Judging from the employment aspirations of students from various medical colleges in Beijing, they are mainly pharmacies in Beijing’s top tertiary hospitals and clinical pharmacists in hospitals. But the actual employment rate is not like this. Only about 5% of students actually enter medical and health institutions. In addition to about 30% of postgraduate entrance examinations, a large part are absorbed by pharmaceutical companies and pharmaceutical factories.

Ms. Li, a senior technician who has been in the industry for many years, told us that careers in drug development and research have very high requirements for professional abilities, and correspondingly, the requirements for various aspects such as academic qualifications are also relatively high. To engage in work such as production quality assurance, the academic requirements are not that high, but the requirements for relevant professional knowledge are still very strict. In comparison, sales work has lower professional requirements and focuses more on sales ability and social skills.

At present, the monthly salary of pharmacy undergraduate graduates is about 2,000 to 3,000 yuan, while the annual salary of graduates engaged in drug sales and other jobs in large pharmaceutical companies or foreign-funded enterprises is generally around 150,000 to 200,000 yuan. . Over the years, there has been a saying among pharmacy graduates that “first-class talents sell drugs.” Faced with this situation, Liu Yun, a member of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, said that overall, there is indeed a certain gap between the income of general pharmacy graduates and the income of drug selling jobs. Many people can make money quickly by selling drugs, but from the perspective of career development, students still need to have a long-term career plan. Pharmacy, like medicine, is an experience-based and technology-based industry. If you choose your professional direction and pursue it steadily and firmly, you will definitely have a very broad field and development space in the future.

High-end talents are in high demand, but there is a gap in terminal talents.

The employment situation of pharmacy majors in some prestigious universities is still very good. For example, the employment rate of graduates from China Pharmaceutical University, Peking University School of Pharmacy, Shenyang Pharmaceutical University, West China School of Pharmacy at Sichuan University is close to 100%, and the overall supply-demand ratio can reach 1:3 to 1:4. Liu Yun said that if China's pharmaceutical industry wants to get rid of its reliance on generic drugs and imported drugs, it needs to... >>

At the same time, when applying for a college, you should apply for a similar college based on your own learning situation. Don't be too ambitious. As far as the employment of junior college graduates is concerned, they usually work at the lowest level in the company, and the leaders must have high academic qualifications, because pharmacy pays great attention to academic qualifications. Although ability is very important, it will not work without the academic qualifications. No matter how well-known For pharmaceutical companies, the minimum academic qualification is generally a bachelor's degree. So if you have the ability, go to school. If you have an undergraduate degree, you can work in technology in a good pharmaceutical company. If you get a R&D position, you usually have a master's degree or a postgraduate degree. Follow-up question: Oh, what do you think are the better job prospects in biology? I only took one college entrance exam, but I want to take the college-to-bachelor degree exam during college, but my English is a bit poor.
