How to deal with an aggressive interviewer?

The first factor:

Your interviewer, no matter which company or industry, usually has the following four basic mentality:

1. Daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law" - After a long time, I can finally interview people and have a good time

2. "Wu Dalang opens a shop" - the people who come should be smart and flexible Some, but don’t go beyond me, otherwise it will be difficult to control

3. "Master of Destiny" - Although he cannot donate buildings like a rich man, although this recruitment is a "company behavior", he himself is just Recruiting on behalf of the company does not prevent him from enjoying the pleasure of "pretending to be an angel and giving gifts to the general public" (role-playing is human nature); and for those he does not like or have an appetite for, he will "break them in" Torture in hell."

4. "Bluffing" - Your interviewer is usually not a business expert, let alone an industry leader, just a mortal. Only true insiders can create "sympathies" with each other; as for the "layman" interviewer, he does not know "what is excellence", let alone judge "what is excellence". Usually he himself may "encourage mediocrity". But during the interview, he couldn't let people see his "weakness", so he deliberately created a "sense of oppression" to force the applicants to "surrender" and deliberately "squeeze you" to see your reaction - if you "Non-violent non-cooperation" on the spot, and if you don't play this game with him, then "I'm sorry, please go home."

"Aggressiveness" is the product of the interaction of the above four mentalities.

An "aggressive" interviewer is usually not only "aggressive" during the interview, but you will also experience his "evil words" all the time in your daily work - with this kind of person, you will definitely Long-term cooperation is not possible.

Only those interviewers who have a certain level of self-cultivation, who have experienced "frustration but perseverance", and who had very good tutors when they were young will suppress their "human weaknesses" (this kind of interview (Officials are rare), which always makes applicants feel like they are "like spring breeze" - even if they do not get an offer in the end, they will feel that their performance is not good enough.

The second factor:

This position is a "fake recruitment". The reason for asking you for an interview is simply to "make fun of you" and vent your unhappiness at work.

––––——————--------------------------------

Based on the above analysis, the next step is to take two steps:

The first step:

First of all, we must determine whether it is "false recruitment", which determines our Is it worth investing the energy to deal with those difficult things? If the other party is just "teasing you", all the techniques you use will be in vain.

How to judge "fake recruitment"? I personally summed it up a little. If the following situations occur, it will most likely be false recruitment:

1. Look at the job advertisements

1. Number of people to be recruited: several——" How "dry" is "several"? I don’t even know how many people are missing at my own work station, either there are cataracts or they are not hiring at all;

2. The ratio of “total number of company recruits” exceeds “company size”, and industrial enterprises exceed 20 , there are more than 10 commercial enterprises, even more than 50 - so many people have fled, how is it possible? Even if this is possible, what kind of scumbag company is this? I'm afraid it has collapsed a long time ago, so how can it still be recruiting people there? Don’t believe in “vigorous development and prosperity”. Most of them are HR fictitious job openings to show their “workload” and obtain industry intelligence;

3. The company address is vague or even does not exist at all. Write;

4. The job description exceeds one screen - whether it is "Chinese and English mixed" or "pure Chinese" or "pure English", generally this kind of position is either not recruiting people, or it is recommended internally, or Definitely decided. The purpose of posting this kind of position is not for applicants to see it, but for HR to gain a sense of presence.

5. It is obviously a small company and does not engage in foreign trade, but the company profile is entirely in English.

6. The company’s background is too complicated, sometimes it’s Hong Kong people, sometimes it’s Taiwanese, sometimes it’s from Europe and the United States, sometimes it’s grassroots from mainland China.

7. After reading the company profile for a long time, you still can’t understand what the company does - or there is no company profile at all.

2. Read the interview notice

1. Only SMS notification

2. Only phone notification, asking you to take a pen to take notes, and not send a single email

3. When notifying you by phone, he claims to give you a phone interview first, then asks you to introduce yourself on the phone, and then keeps asking you why you left your job - this is probably HR trying to train you, not really asking you to go for an interview. . If you have free time, you can chat with the other party. If you don’t have free time, just hang up;

4. When notifying by phone, the following questions arise:

Have you found a job?

Are you currently employed or resigned?

Is the transportation far away?

——These types of questions indicate that the other party is evaluating: first, how likely you are to "take the bait"; second, how much moral baggage you have to bear through "false recruitment". If you are resigned and the transportation is convenient, I just want to tease you, ask you to come for an interview, and then go back and wait for the notification - anyway, the other party thinks that you are idle and you have no moral burden at all, and instead they will give you a favor. Opportunity to "see steamed buns".

You seem unstable?

Your resume is too simple

Your work experience is not very good

We may not be able to meet your salary requirements, but you can still come and take a look

I think you don’t quite understand the needs of our position

——These kinds of questions show that the other party is addicted to “determining life and death”: even if this position does not recruit people, Then I will assume that I am the superior supervisor of this position, and I will use my power virtually to enjoy the pleasure of "sweeping thousands of troops".

Conveying negative emotions, such as "The company is quite far away, is it convenient for you to come, do you live far away?"

Showing the other party's sense of superiority, such as "Are you still looking for a job?" ?", "How much do you know about our company?"

.......

——Most of the time, HR comes to you for an interview with a "trial outfit" mentality. , most of them have not communicated with the employing department in advance. If you have obtained the approval of the employing department in advance, normal logic is to just call you for an interview. Because HR notified you unilaterally and you are not sure, you will inevitably have uneasiness in your conscience, fearing that your trip will be in vain, which is reflected in your words. Negative hint, in fact, it is a cover-up. As a job applicant, after receiving this negative hint, you can just step back and avoid wasting time.

5. In the email notification, the name was typed incorrectly

6. In the email notification, the company introduction accounted for 90%, and it introduced the company's products, how much investment it had received, and how much business it had done. How awesome, rather than introducing the corporate culture and corporate team - this is emphasizing your superior position. During the interview process, you will definitely feel the other person's "superior" temperament.

7. In the email notification, it specifically emphasizes "you need to reply" - this is the HR department clarifying its responsibilities, and it wants to tell the employing department "I informed the person, and they confirmed it, and finally they If you don’t come, don’t blame me for not notifying you.” If the humanistic work of this employing department is done well and the management is in place, will the HR department clarify its responsibilities with the employing department?

8. You are asked to bring your own resume and certificates - the "certificates" here refer to: academic qualifications, degrees, vocational and technical qualifications and other relevant documents ("the guard wants to see the ID card") , it is still excusable)

9. In the phone notification, he struggled with you for more than one round on the issue of "reason for resignation".

10. Excessive enthusiasm (beyond the normal range) when notifying you on the phone:

Inform you of the interview in the spirit of telemarketing, praising you for your matching experience and the good development of your company. "We are in a period of rapid growth, and there are job vacancies for xx, yy, and zz" - this is also false, unless you really feel that you are one in a million, but you also have to think about it: even a young boy or a little girl Everyone can tell that you are a "dragon and phoenix" among people. How high is your "dragon and phoenix" worth? (By the way, let me make some digressions: Only mediocre people are scrambled for. Why? Promotion, promotion, just because you are low in height, there is room for promotion. If your height is already a lot higher, I don’t think anyone would dare." "Promote" you - the height of your talent is beyond that of everyone, so it will either soar to the sky or remain silent among everyone)

The other party must be "n phone calls in an hour, about dozens of 'dragons and phoenixes' in a day "This kind of thing, let alone there are so many "rapidly growing" companies.

11. Don’t believe in the so-called “telephone interviews”: companies will misjudge you when you meet them, so what’s the use of a phone interview?

When an HR is holding the phone and pestering you endlessly, digging deeply into your personal information and work experience, you should beware of:

The other party may be trying to obtain industry information. ——This is considered a dedicated HR, although the methods are rather dark. The destination of your speech is to become the other person’s work report for this month.

In more cases, the other party may have just started working as HR, and is playing Lianliankan, looking at the list of questions on the table, and following you through a "routine" one by one, in order to cultivate the feeling of working as HR—— What you say will either fall on deaf ears or be met with laughter or ridicule.

——In short, the above are definitely not the normal manifestations of "lack of people and need of people". If the other party finally sends you an interview "under all the helplessness, I pity you and cherish you very much" Notice, that is the other party showing off their superiority, and they are definitely trying to trick you to the end;

Step 2:

If it is judged that you are really in need of someone, So if you want to deal with an aggressive interviewer, you have to take two steps:

First, the hardware conditions should not be too dazzling (if it is too dazzling, there is really nothing you can do, and I advise you not to have any hope. Basically, no matter No matter how you use your skills, you will most likely be eliminated):

In layman’s terms, your hardware should not be too good, and especially should not exceed the interviewer’s level. Otherwise, some "narrow-chested" or "chicken-breasted" interviewers will feel ashamed of themselves, so much so that they will casually assign you a "crime" within 3 minutes of meeting you, especially the specious and paradoxical "poor communication skills". A "crime" that cannot be measured objectively, and then they will beat you to death without you saying a word.

Why not kill you in the "resume screening" process? First, it shows "transparency and openness" and gives an explanation to peers and superiors; secondly, when children go to the zoo, they often pester adults to see lions and tigers, and even take a photo of themselves riding on a fake tiger. As a souvenir - at least to say: I have even ridden a "tiger", so I can brag.

2. For those who have excellent hardware, it is best to improve your internal skills while waiting for the opportunity, hoping to meet an "enterprising" supervisor who is congenial to you, and you will be able to "go down the mountain";

3. If the hardware is ordinary, congratulations. As long as you do the following points, you can basically give the other party a good impression:

1. Keep your emotions stable

You must first assume that you are not in an interview, but in a normal working environment, and your boss is "pressuring":

Such a boss does not want to meet When it comes to a subordinate who "confronts" him, he doesn't want to meet a person who "jumps when pushed", let alone a "Lin Daiyu" who is "forced to cry";

You have to stay calm, preferably with a smile, and show your "thick-skinned" side, showing that you can get along well with him and that you are tough and tough.

2. Smooth things out, but also be soft yet strong

When speaking, you must ensure that you generally follow the other person's wishes.

You have a good attitude, but you can’t have no useful information at all, so you have to shoot a few rubber bullets at the other person’s fat hand at the right time - letting the other person know that you are also "a little bit" "Experience" is "somewhat useful".

3. Give more examples

If the other party is aggressive, the problem with his "pressing" may be something he doesn't understand - you have to pretend to be calm. , use more examples that you have encountered in actual work to answer. The examples should reflect:

First, how hard you work;

Second, what effects have been achieved , but there are still big problems;

Third, ask the interviewer how to do this.

If the other party "pretends to understand" and gives you a long speech, it proves that the strategy works.

Finally, let’s give an example to illustrate briefly (Q represents the aggressive interviewer, A represents the applicant):

Q: Your head is a little wet

A: What you said is absolutely correct, I am also very troubled by this problem

Q: Tell me more specifically

A: Sometimes I wonder: Why does my head get water? ? At first I thought there was a seam in my head, and then I painted it with 502 and waterproof paint. At that time, I bought the best 502 and waterproof paint.

Q: It doesn’t seem to be of much use

A: Indeed. Later, I began to avoid places with water. I thought: There will always be a dry place in the world for me to stand, so as to ensure that my brain does not get water.

Q: (eyes start to shine, body starts to lean forward) It seems that I can’t find it either

A: Yes. As my experience gained and others gave me advice, I finally discovered that there are seven orifices in the brain. If all seven orifices were blocked, water would not be able to enter, but humans would no longer be human. There should be a balance point here. How do you view this issue?

Q: blablablablablabla, humans are born from human beings, demons are born from demons............. ...........(Start to rant about his "unique insights" and "experiences in life")

A: (Be sure to look serious at this time) What did you say today? These words are of great benefit to me. No matter whether you hire me today or not, I will benefit from it for life. Thank you for your advice!

Q: (Smiling like a flower) That’s it for today. I hope you can become my subordinate. If there is any news, I will let the personnel contact you.
