What behaviors do interviewers hate most in an interview?

I have been an examiner for many years, and I have experienced many interviews. When it comes to behaviors that examiners hate or dislike, there are roughly the following situations.

First, candidates are too mechanical in answering questions. This is a common problem for most interview candidates at present, especially at the beginning and the end. At the beginning, the candidates begin to answer questions, and at the end, the candidates finish answering questions. This was not a big mistake. However, all candidates have the same pattern, and the examiner is bored when he hears the same thing all day. In fact, it's really unnecessary, especially at the beginning. Just answer directly. Another example is the examination questions of organizing activities. Many candidates move the routines they learned during training to apply them, completely ignoring the specific problems of this question, which is a complete waste of the examiner's time.

Second, the candidates are too high-profile. In order to show their ability and level, many candidates are conceited, which makes people feel that they have a big tone and strong ability. For example, when commenting on myself, I have strong overall coordination ability, which is obviously not realistic. How can a young man be? In an interview, it would be better to be modest.

thirdly, the expression is too superficial. When many candidates think, they don't think thoroughly about the problem and completely float on the surface. For example, the handling of contradictory problems means that I have to do ideological work patiently and carefully, without going deep into what kind of ideological work to do. In fact, candidates should make substantive simulation analysis, clearly analyze various possible reasons and distinguish different reasons to do a good job.

fourth, the emotional expression is dull. This is also one of the problems that the examiner can't bear. Interview is actually a kind of communication. This communication is to complain about feelings. Whether it is a good phenomenon or an act that should be criticized, the candidate's expression will change with the change of the expression content. If you are expressionless from beginning to end, the examiner will not have a good evaluation of you.

This is the most dangerous behavior of candidates that I have summarized for many years. With this behavior, candidates will have a very dangerous outcome. This is not to please the examiner, but to meet the needs of the interview.

After reading it, the answer has been fully answered. I would like to add two points that are often not mentioned in the "interview book", but they are very important:

First, don't be too sophisticated, especially young people with short experience

Some interviewers will have some dilemma questions, such as:

"If your father is seriously ill in hospital, you are preparing to go home to visit him, and people have already arrived at the airport. What would you choose? "

What should be the correct answer to this question?

In fact, no one is right or wrong about these two answers. This question envisages a very extreme plot, which can only be seen in some dog blood TV series. In fact, the interviewer wants to see you struggle, see you hesitate, and want to know what kind of sacrifice you will make and why.

the wrong answer is not "choose a job" or "go home", but "choose easily without thinking", which means you are hiding your true thoughts.

Any leader doesn't like subordinates who are too sophisticated, which will make him afraid to trust you and lack trust, which is a taboo in work cooperation.

When a young person competes with the elderly, "seniority" is a weakness, but "simplicity" is an advantage, so don't hide it.

Second, attach great importance to the question "Do you have any questions?"

Once, we interviewed an assistant director by telephone, and at the end of the interview, we asked the candidate a question as usual:

"Anything else?"

As a result, he asked us a question that made us gape: "Does the company have a dormitory?"

Apart from this special case, I found that most people would ask questions about salary and benefits, which actually wasted a valuable opportunity.

You know, the interview is two-way, and the company is choosing you, so it asks you a lot of questions. You are also choosing a company, and this question is one of your few opportunities.

when I meet better questions, I will always ask the classic questions in the interview in reverse, so as to understand the ins and outs of this position:

"Is this position new or original? What do the former employees in this position do now? Why did he quit? " (judging the development prospect of the position and its position in the company)

"What is the division of labor and cooperation between this position and XXX (related positions)?" (judging the working status of this position)

"What is the best employee you have ever met? How long have you been in this position and how are your former subordinates now? " (judge your boss's ability, whether he conflicts with your three views)

You can ask for any information you can't possibly know, and generally you won't be rejected. Of course, first of all, understand why you ask this question, if you judge the other person's answer.

I have participated in several recruitment interviews for civil servants and career editors in government agencies, institutions and villages and towns, but sitting on the judges' bench, I found some problems, and wrote them for the reference of the interviewees: candidates should remember one thing: Therefore, all emotions should be taken into account during the whole process from entering the door to going out, which is also the embodiment of overall awareness and ability to control the overall situation. Candidates should have a clear understanding of the interview, knowing that the interview is by no means a written test, and never delay too long in the preparation of the answer, because the examiner will think that you are afraid to answer because you can't grasp the main points quickly. If you are worried about poor expression, just quickly record the key words of each point. Candidates should pay special attention to oral expression: the most important thing is to be fully prepared and take the interview seriously. At present, there are many institutions that specialize in counseling interviews. If you choose a good reputation and are willing to invest, you will be rewarded.

behavior 1: shake your legs.

The action of shaking your legs, although not out of line, will make the interviewer extremely uncomfortable, and it will make the interviewer unable to concentrate. Shaking your legs usually happens when a person is "idle" or relaxed, perhaps it is an unconscious move to release tension. Sometimes, a certain part of the applicant's body (such as hands or elbows) will touch the desktop, and when shaking his legs, the jitter will be transmitted to the table, making the whole table shake. You can imagine such a "shaking your legs" scene, and the interviewer doesn't hate it. What needs to be reminded is that people don't shake their legs when they are highly focused, so the interviewer will judge that the candidate is not attentive, focused and inattentive according to the action of shaking his legs.

behavior 2: lean back.

Some applicants, whether they are arrogant or subconsciously trying to avoid the interviewer, will lean back in the chair and face the interviewer sideways during the interview, showing a look of indifference, but they are very nervous. The interviewer will take "leaning back" as a kind of "not paying attention to the interview" or "arrogance", which will make the interviewer feel uncomfortable and boring. When interviewing, it's best to sit still. Although you don't need to be like an officer, you should sit still, so that the interviewer can see your self-restraint and quality.

behavior 3: arms crossed on the chest.

some people explain that crossing your arms on your chest is a kind of "self-protection" and a kind of potential psychology of insecurity, but personally, I think this action is suspected of "arrogance", just like "leaning back". Cross your arms on your chest, which potentially means "what are you doing to me?" This behavior reflects an attitude that no interviewer will like.

behavior 4: being late.

Although some interviewers will be late themselves, or find reasons to start the interview later, as a candidate, one who is looking for a job should arrive at the interview site on time or a few minutes in advance. Being late, no matter what suitable and reasonable reasons the applicant finds, the interviewer will not understand "being late". The applicant's explanation of "being late" will be considered as "making excuses" by the interviewer. In the interviewer's mind, being late also means that the candidate doesn't pay attention to this interview, which is very casual. Candidates should preset the distance to the interview site, road conditions and factors that may lead to lateness in advance, so as to be prepared in advance, such as the interval between bus departures, the time required for self-driving, the time and severity of congestion, and the time required for walking. Applicants would rather arrive half an hour early than be late because of thoughtlessness.

behavior 5: cross your legs.

Crossing one's legs and "crossing one's arms on one's chest" have the same meaning, and the message conveyed is often interpreted by the interviewer as disdainful and indifferent. Some interviewers even interpret crossing one's legs as "arrogance" and "arrogance". Why do people who cross their legs put them down as soon as the leader enters the office? That is, you can't show "arrogance" and "arrogance" in front of leaders. In particular, the situation will be even more uncomfortable if you "shake your legs" while crossing your legs. That's why interviewers hate crossing their legs. Legs are vertical and parallel, and "sitting in danger" can prevent the interviewer from getting bored.

behavior 6: yawn.

Like "shaking your legs", people don't yawn when they are highly focused or nervous. Yawning means that the candidate is not in the interview state and doesn't care about the interviewer's questions, and a yawn with a wide mouth, even if you cover it with your hand, can't hide the tears squeezed out after yawning. When a candidate yawns, the interviewer will mistakenly think that the candidate is not focused, too relaxed and even a little "presumptuous".

behavior 7: play with the pen.

Some candidates, especially young people, keep playing "twirling pens" on their fingertips during the whole interview, and they are very skilled. In my impression, playing with the pen often makes people feel a little "cynical" This unnecessary action may also be a release caused by "nervousness", but after all, it does not belong to "uncontrollable nerves" but "deliberate action", which will make the interviewer feel uncomfortable and annoying.

behavior 8: rhetorical question.

The applicant is going to apply for a job, not to argue. The purpose is to be able to answer the questions raised by the interviewer satisfactorily. Even if some interviewers' questions make candidates uncomfortable, "a little reluctance leads to great mischief." Rhetorical question means confrontation and questioning, questioning and questioning, and the interviewer will not like rhetorical question.

behavior 9: don't pretend to understand.

no matter how junior the interviewer is, whether the other person really understands the questions raised can basically make a correct judgment. If the applicant does encounter a question that he doesn't understand, he can directly tell the interviewer, "I'm very sorry, I really don't understand this question." Instead of pretending not to understand, I answered it in a serious way, stuttering, and trying to cover up my "ignorance" on this issue. The interviewer looks at the other person who doesn't know how to pretend to understand, but can't discover it. He can only "listen to you in vain", so he will naturally hate not knowing how to pretend to understand.

Let's think about it again and discuss those behaviors together.

The battle-hardened interviewers are all old foxes in the workplace, and they generally have some research on behavioral psychology. They can judge a person's personality characteristics, principles of being a person and bottom line of ethics from a small action and a blurted mantra of a job seeker. Many people just ignored some small details, which aroused the resentment of the interviewer and finally failed in the interview.

So, what should job seekers pay attention to? What behaviors will arouse the interviewer's disgust? I have participated in many interviews and interviewed many people. I think the following 1 behaviors need special attention.

first, hypocrisy. During the interview, the interviewer will often throw a question that will make you fall into the choice trap. For example, "the company wants you to go on a business trip immediately, and your father (mother) is ill, what will you do?" Do you answer that work comes first? Wrong! At this time, we should not hypocritically please the company, but make the right choice honestly.

second, arrogance. You need to be confident in an interview, but overconfidence is arrogance, which is easy to offend people. For example, talking about your status as a student union cadre, or boasting about your achievements in your former company, will give people a flashy impression.

third, rudeness. There are many faux pas, such as being late for an interview. No matter what reason you have, it will leave a bad impression on people. Or it is impolite to greet or bow to the interviewer when entering the door, which will also give people an impression of lack of education.

fourth, short-tempered. Mao Mao is manic when he takes a seat, either knocking down a chair or spilling a glass of water, so there is something wrong with being steady. At the end of the interview, if you are in a hurry to collect the information, or forget important certificates or materials, this is an interview taboo.

five, lying. Lying and cheating are the most intolerable behaviors. Don't challenge the interviewer's wisdom with your cleverness. For example, when the interviewer asks you about the salary of your last company, don't be a lion, the interviewer is not stupid, and you know what salary level is in which industry.

six, feel free. When interviewing, try not to be formal, but not too casual. For example, when interviewing for a senior position, try to sit in the middle of the sofa instead of leaning on the armrest. When you want to smoke, just bear it. What great things can you do without such restraint?

seven, rhetorical question. The rhetorical question is equivalent to kicking a balloon, and it is emotional, which is offensive to the interviewer. For example, "What do you think?" This rhetorical question is essentially a rebuttal, which will give people a feeling of arrogance, headstrong, lack of cooperation and out of control.

eight, smooth. It is important to be quick-witted in an interview. However, cleverness does not mean tact. For example, the interviewer asks you a dilemma, and you can answer it skillfully. But you can't deliberately be ambiguous and pull a bunch of useless things.

nine, show off. Many people have stumbled in this respect. I usually have some spoken words, but I don't pay attention to them. For example, when you answer, you say, "From a management point of view, I think you should …" or you are full of technical terms, as if you are an expert.

ten, cut in. Some people, in order to express themselves or be eager to express their views, will interrupt when the interviewer is talking. It is very impolite to interrupt others, and many interviewers will shoot them directly.

In short, remember one sentence when interviewing: Sincerity is more important than routine! Honesty is more important than tact! Low profile is more important than publicity! Steady is more important than impetuous!

Tell me about my interview experience. I was admitted to the institution last year, and then I passed the interview and entered the qualification review.

Four years after graduation, I haven't had a chance to take the exam in public institutions, and I am still full of expectations. I hope I can pass the exam smoothly this time, and my family is happy and I have a stable job. Of course, this is very good for a woman to have a job within the system.
