Interview review is the most valuable thing after the interview

I often tell my colleagues that if you have not changed jobs for a long time, when you are first preparing to change jobs, you must first find a few companies where you are unlikely to go to "practice your skills" and get used to the interview process again. Feel.

The purpose of this is to conduct a review from the interview and prepare for the interview in advance in order to cope with the interview at the target company.

Another situation is that you will inevitably encounter unsatisfactory performance during the interview. Don't be too harsh on yourself, and more importantly, reflect and summarize. Review what you did not do well in the interview so that you can perform better in subsequent job searches.

In reality, it often takes a month or two to interview more than a dozen companies, but still no one has hired them. Job seekers will have serious doubts about their own abilities, blame themselves, and complain, leading to depression and a vicious cycle. If you can't lift your spirits, it will be even harder to find a suitable job in a short period of time.

If you are interested in a company or a position, and you fail the first interview, and you are given another chance, will you still pass it?

The importance of review is self-evident. A successful interview requires both sufficient preparation before the interview and a timely review after the interview. Review is to get better opportunities.

How to conduct an interview review so that it is valuable and effective for subsequent job hunting?

1. Review the overall performance

Throughout the interview process, did you confidently demonstrate your experience and abilities?

At the same time, did the interviewer respond positively? Are there any "impatient" or "questioning" looks or words?

One is based on self-state, and the other is based on the interviewer’s reaction.

The overall performance evaluation is divided into dissatisfied/basically satisfied/satisfied/very satisfied.

Depending on the evaluation results, the time and energy spent on the review interview will vary.

The overall principle is that in a satisfactory interview, refine the advantages; in an unsatisfactory interview, sort it out carefully and spend more time analyzing to avoid obvious disadvantages.

2. Review questions and answers

Immediately after the interview, use your memory to record the questions you were asked during the interview, and try to be as comprehensive as possible.

Then make a division based on the dimensions of the questions asked by the interviewer, such as career planning, past experience verification, professional ability evaluation, etc.

For specific answers, you can review them like this:

? After answering which questions, the interviewer responded positively and was satisfied with his own answer. You should keep your own answers for such questions. Idea, how can I express it more concisely?

?Which questions were not answered well, because they were not prepared and the language expression was not refined enough? Or not at all? Classification processing and analysis are required.

If you are interrupted during the interview, it means that you have strayed from the topic or are too verbose. You need to optimize your answer to avoid similar situations in subsequent interviews.

If the interviewer seems confused after answering a question, it means that your statement is not clear enough and you need to optimize the description of the doubtful areas and add some detailed information.

If the interviewer asks very detailed questions about your experience, it means that the interviewer has doubts about your experience. He needs to focus on the background, problems and some of your actions involved in the experience to prove that you are not just superficial. .

3. Review the interview relationship

Review the entire interview. Have you established a "harmonious and interactive" communication relationship with the interviewer?

Is the interview pace appropriate? Is it fast or slow?

Are there any questions that you are passionate about during the interview?

Did you have any advice you could give you during the interview?

These are a way to initially build trust. Sometimes the interview relationship is well established, and the interviewer will give a lot of "emotional points". Even if the department is not suitable, he may recommend others to you. department.

Our company previously interviewed a consolidated statement accounting position. A boy applied for the job and performed very well. The whole interaction was full of laughter and laughter. After the interview, he was actually more suitable for the financial BP position, and later he was recommended to I joined the financial department of another business unit and successfully joined and stayed.

4. Review whether your strengths or successful experiences have been fully explained

Many people prepare a lot before the interview, but very little can be used in the actual interview. This shows that the direction you prepared is not very accurate.

There are also some partners who are completely led by the interviewer. Many experiences that can prove their abilities are not fully stated, causing the interviewer to bias his judgment.

For example, when the interviewer is interested in a certain experience, after he has almost finished speaking, he can mention that I actually have another experience that can better illustrate my ability. I can tell you Say what?

Applicants who take the initiative to prove themselves are "treasures" in the eyes of interviewers, and they will most likely let you tell them.

Therefore, during the interview communication, if you have some experience that you want to show but the interviewer has not asked about it, you can take the initiative to seek opportunities to express it.

Finally, for the next interview, what improvements and optimizations can I make from the above four aspects? Each interview is a drill, from which we must constantly reflect, review, and summarize experiences and lessons. , and improve their performance.
