How to stand out in the leaderless group discussion session of the interview, Zhihu

Leaderless group discussion is to group a certain number of candidates (the number is generally controlled at 5- 10) for an hour or so, and the candidates discuss a given topic. Through observation, the interviewer records whether the ability and quality of the candidate's organization and coordination, oral expression, deduction and induction, improvisation and so on meet the requirements of the proposed position, and whether the personality characteristics such as self-confidence, initiative, emotional stability and flexibility meet the group atmosphere of the proposed position, thus making a comprehensive evaluation of the candidate. Foreign studies have proved that leaderless group discussion is a common evaluation technique, and its frequency in evaluation centers is 59%.

If you want to stand out in the leaderless group discussion, you can pay attention to the following points:

1, with clear logic, clear views and outstanding personal advantages.

Whether you are a recorder, a summarizer or an organizer of a leaderless group, generally speaking, everyone has the opportunity to state their views. Then, when expressing personal views, we must pay attention to clear hierarchy and clear logic. Don't just copy what other candidates say, you must have your own point of view, even if you re-express the same point of view in different languages. Don't say "My point of view is the same as someone's".

2. Pay attention to teamwork.

In the leaderless group discussion, the interviewer usually looks at the team cooperation ability of the candidate in addition to his personal ability. Don't be too eager to express your personal views, or gush when you state your own views. Be sure to leave time for other candidates. Even if you have very strong personal thoughts, if this is a unified conclusion discussed by the team, accept it instead of denying it.

3. According to the corporate culture and the nature of work, judge the role you should play in the leaderless group discussion.

Before the interview, you need to have a general understanding of the company you apply for, especially the development culture of the company. At the same time, you should have a deep understanding of the position you are applying for. For example, this is an innovative enterprise. The culture that enterprises pay attention to is proactive and enterprising, and the position they apply for is personnel supervisor. For this kind of position, you need to have strong organizational and coordination skills. Then for this position, a candidate who plays the role of organizer in a leaderless group will attract the attention of the interviewer.
