What are the tricks in the interview?

What are the tricks in the interview? Interview is a very important link in the workplace. I believe everyone hopes to get good grades in the interview. There may be some strange tricks in the interview. What are the tricks in the interview? Let's have a look.

What are the tricks in the interview? 1 strange trick 1: Choose your favorite animal.

A well-known advertising company is recruiting advertising executives, and the interview is in progress. Mr. S and the interviewer are sitting on both sides of a big table. At the end of the interview, the interviewer took out a photo with many animals printed on it, including elephants, sika deer, red-crowned cranes, peacocks, foxes, tigers and leopards. Then he asked Mr. S, "Choose your three favorite animals and give the reasons". After listening to it, S found it not difficult to say how the leopard moves quickly and agile, and how the peacock is beautiful and moving ... but his answer was not recognized by the interviewer at all.

Expert comment: In an office, apart from different positions, long-term work will also make everyone's personality, work style, behavior and other aspects show various States: some people are smart, scheming, some people are steady, silent, and few words, and some people are eager to do things and pay attention to task results.

Accordingly, these characteristics will be somewhat similar to the behavior habits of some animals and become a kind of personality and behavior characteristics in the workplace. Enterprises give this question when recruiting, mainly to predict and examine the personality characteristics and behavior patterns that candidates may show in their work.

Dale Hong, the chief career planner of Xiangyang Career, reminded job seekers that even if such questions do not directly affect the interview results, they should not be taken lightly, and extreme answers will have a negative impact. Candidates are advised to master the principle of "balance" when answering questions. For example, while emphasizing innovation, it is also very important to abide by the basic rules, and don't give people the feeling of "unconstrained style". In the interview, you should learn to use the wisdom of the golden mean.

Weird trick 2: "We just want a doctor!"

A company recruits a technical sales manager, and the company has a good popularity. Advertised, resumes are flying around like snowflakes. After preliminary screening, the first batch of people interviewed were 30. Mr. C was extremely nervous when it was his turn. As soon as I sat down, HR looked up and said, "You see, the degree written on your resume is undergraduate, but in fact we only need a doctor for this position." C jun was immediately blinded, and his mind was blank.

In the next interview, Mr. C has been trembling and his performance is very unsatisfactory. In fact, the interviewer's words not only affected Mr. C, but also affected others. Two thirds of the first interviewees were eliminated.

Expert comment: In fact, this is a "stress test" deliberately set by the employer. Since a person with a bachelor's degree has been informed to come for an interview, it shows that a bachelor's degree can be competent for the job. Stress test is a common skill in interview, which mainly examines the ability of job seekers to resist pressure and frustration, challenge spirit and self-expression.

In an interview, the expression of self-worth is one of the most important links. In addition to your own real material, you need skills to present it. Many job seekers are too eager for success to grasp their core competitiveness, so how can they show their talents? To master these skills, you don't have to hit a wall again and again to accumulate experience. You may wish to find a professional career planning agency to study, or consult an interview expert.

Trick 3: Choose a movie and write down your movie reviews.

A company interviewed a telemarketer, and there was an interview question. The names and brief contents of several films were given, so that the respondents could choose one of them to write their own film reviews. When d jun saw it, he wondered how such a topic could come out. He didn't think much, so he chose a movie he had seen and wrote it. All I can write are completely out of tune ideas and forget to combine them with my work. As a result, I handed in a film review that was neither fish nor fowl. Naturally, no one informed him of the second interview in the end.

Expert comment: When interviewing for a position like sales, you will encounter such problems, which will really make the candidates feel at a loss, especially those who think their writing ability is low, and their confidence will be halved immediately. In fact, this question is intended to examine the professional values of job seekers. Professional values are one of the important issues in career planning. Because it can evaluate whether you are suitable for the position you are applying for, whether you have a clear career plan and your loyalty to your career.

Wang Honglin, career planner of CCDM in Xiangyang career, suggested that when encountering this seemingly unrelated problem, we should make the following preparations: First, keep calm and don't panic; 2. What are the core requirements of this position? Third, consider your own situation and try to be close to the job requirements. In fact, it is not difficult to solve similar problems if the position submitted by a job seeker is his clear career goal.

Weird trick 4: Who is more suitable for sales among the four monks in Tang Dynasty?

An e-commerce company recruits sales staff. This company is the place that X Jun has always dreamed of. He was both nervous and excited when he received the interview notice. After the interview began, he answered the standard questions in front of him very well. Just then, HR said, "Ask an interesting question, which I just saw recently.

There are four Tang Priest apprentices in Journey to the West. Who do you think can do a good job in sales? "X Jun blurted out:" the Monkey King ",and then explained:" the Monkey King is quick-witted and has a good eye. He can see who the monster is at a glance, which should be more appropriate. " HR listened to his answer and said with a smile that the interview was over. After that, X Jun never received any news.

Expert comment: Ask you who is most suitable for what position (this position is generally submitted by job seekers). The purpose of this question is two points: first, whether the understanding of job responsibilities and functions is thorough; Second, look at the role that candidates give themselves in the team from the side.

In fact, there are many job seekers, one resume has invested in multiple positions, and even many job interviews are not fully understood. This result is definitely not good. Therefore, you must know thoroughly before the interview, and it is best to have your own career orientation, so that targeted preparation can increase the chances of success in the interview.

Weird trick 5: Can you figure out how many golf balls a school bus can hold?

From 2009 to 20 1 1, in the evaluation of Universum, Google was selected as the "most attractive talent" enterprise in the engineering and commercial fields for three consecutive years, and 20 1 1 was also rated as "the best reputation" and "the most worthwhile investment enterprise". But it is not easy to enter Google, and the product managers who apply for them need to pass the test of the following questions. "How many golf balls can a school bus hold?" "If you were asked to clean all the windows in Seattle, how much would you ask?" Can you answer that?

Expert comment: To solve this kind of problem, we should not only stay on the surface of the problem, but also think in combination with the characteristics of the job application. I suggest you start with the nature of the post. One of the important functions of the product manager is to grasp the customer's needs, formulate reasonable product solutions and solve customer problems. Then, you can learn more about the customer's requirements and conditions through supplementary questions and give more reasonable answers.

Or, you can provide a variety of options, and it is also one of the functions of the product manager to make a product plan. In short, in the face of such questions, we must combine the content and characteristics of the job responsibilities we are applying for to answer them.

All kinds of strange interview questions seem strange, but they are all the same. First, see how much you know about the responsibilities and functions of the post you are delivering; Second, look at your understanding of yourself. What the hell can you do? In which direction? Know what you want to do, and then make your own career plan. Know yourself and know yourself. No "weird" interview can beat you!

What are the tricks in the interview? 2 How to deal with the strange tricks in the interview of foreign companies

competition

The genius of this method is that it can better reflect the recruitment principles of fairness, equality, competition and merit, which is conducive to outstanding talents to stand out. Last June, a well-known multinational company held a simple recruitment presentation on the campuses of Peking University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiaotong University and China Europe Business School, and then selected 40 200 1 graduates from 600 self-recommendation materials to participate in the preliminary contest of the planning competition, which was arranged at the company's China headquarters in Shanghai. First, a round of basic language test, 100 graduates take turns to introduce themselves in English and answer questions. Then, students from the same college are free to form a group of four, and one group after another will participate in the competition. The competition requires 5 minutes to complete the TV advertising idea of a commodity, and then 4 people will cooperate to demonstrate the advertisement and analyze the advertising idea. The company mainly recruits marketing personnel this time. The recruitment director believes that job seekers can show at least three qualities in the improvisation of designing and displaying advertisements: advertising creativity requires personal creativity; Demonstration advertising needs expressiveness and appeal; Cooperative advertising needs team spirit. And these three qualities are exactly what every marketer must have.

management games

Management games is also a common interview method. In this kind of activity, group members are assigned certain tasks, and they must cooperate to complete them well. Sometimes some competitive factors are introduced, such as three or two groups selling at the same time and occupying the market at the same time. Evaluate the quality of candidates through their behaviors in the process of completing tasks. Here are two examples: Example 1. Keyboard sales. A group of six candidates will serve as the management committee of a small enterprise. For a given keyboard with different profits, each team member will express opinions on investment, purchase, inventory control and sales. Examiners pay attention to the organizational ability, agility of thinking and ability to work under pressure of leaders and other members naturally formed in group discussions by observing the behavior of candidates. Example 2, Streaming Task. Give a group of candidates pulleys, iron pipes, boards and ropes, and let them move a thick wood and a bigger stone to the other side of the stream. Examiners can effectively observe the leadership characteristics, ability characteristics, wisdom characteristics and social relations of candidates in an objective environment. The advantage of management games is that they can break through the limitations of time and space in actual work situations, and the simulated content is realistic, competitive and interesting. As candidates, when doing management games, you should not be too nervous or too casual.

field survey

Arrange the jumping pieces. When recruiting employees, some foreign companies test the flexibility of candidates' hands and feet, give each candidate a pile of checkers, and ask them to pick out checkers mixed with five colors in one minute and arrange them according to each color. If it is not completed as required within the specified time, it will be eliminated.

Look at the picture and speak. When recruiting employees, foreign companies need to test the responsiveness of candidates. Some foreign companies install color pictures on rotating machines, including animals, plants, buildings, vehicles, household appliances and so on. Move in front of the candidates at a certain speed and ask the candidates to say what they see within the specified time.

Divide the cake. A foreign company asked candidates to cut a box of cakes into eight parts and give them to eight people, but there must be another one in the cake box. In the face of such strange questions, some candidates rack their brains and can't tell; However, some applicants think that this question is actually very simple. Take out seven of the eight cakes and give them to seven people, and give the remaining 1 piece to the eighth person together with the cake box. The applicant's creative thinking ability is obvious.

Running in the hot sun. Examining the will and fighting spirit of candidates is often a question to be asked in foreign recruitment interviews. A foreign company recruited a group of employees from newly graduated technical school students. During the interview, the candidate was asked to run to a mountain in the suburbs in the scorching sun and then return. The test results show that some candidates are opportunistic and return without going to their destination; Some candidates ran to their destination, but took a taxi on their way back; Some applicants ran to the destination according to the regulations, and then ran back. When a foreign company announces the admission list, the list of the first two kinds of people is unknown, and the latter one is hired as an employee.

Open an umbrella in the rain. As employees of foreign companies, they are required to have the spirit of unity and cooperation. Therefore, when a foreign company recruits employees, it requires candidates to go to a designated place nearby in the rain and then return, but only half of them are given umbrellas. In this interview, there are some situations: some candidates who are given umbrellas take the initiative to partner with candidates who don't have umbrellas, and they will share joys and sorrows and support an umbrella together; Some candidates without umbrellas and those with umbrellas negotiate to share an umbrella; There are also candidates who only care about themselves and ignore others, holding an umbrella alone. As a result, those who held the umbrella alone were eliminated, while those who shared the joys and sorrows with the umbrella were hired.
