Foreign companies should maintain a respectful attitude in the workplace. In the workplace, the most taboo is to grasp the improper size, and the personality is revealed in the details. The workplace will not believe in tears, and the interview needs real materials. Learn the interview etiquette of foreign companies. You are the only one who can become a professional!
Introduction to interview etiquette for foreign companies 1 First, before the interview.
Dress
Men should wear neat clothes, but they don't have to dress up deliberately. Women should wear neat, bright and jingling jewelry, too much perfume, stockings that are not straightened, uncut nails or fluffy hair, which are enough to offset the good impression of the cover letter to the examiner.
The key to choosing clothes is to look at the job requirements. Apply for banks and government departments, and wear traditional and formal clothes; If you are applying for public relations and fashion magazines, you can add some popular elements to your clothes. In addition to applying for entertainment, film and television advertising and other industries, it is best not to choose clothes that are too abrupt. This year's graduates can dress up as students and wear casual clothes. In addition, it is not advisable to wear too many accessories when applying for a job, which is easy to distract the examiner.
punctual
Punctuality is the basic requirement of professional ethics, and the best effect is to arrive at the interview site 10- 15 minutes in advance. Arriving at the meeting more than half an hour in advance is considered to have no sense of time, but being late or in a hurry during the interview is fatal. No matter what reason you have, being late will also be regarded as a lack of self-management and discipline.
If it's a long distance, you'd rather go out early, but don't go into the office as soon as you arrive early. You can wait in the coffee shop nearby.
Second, during the interview
body language
Eyes:
Keep your eyes on each other when communicating, but never stare at others. If more than one person is present, be sure to look at the others to show respect and equality.
Shake hands:
When the interviewer's hand reaches out to you, hold it, shake hands hard and look directly at the other person. Don't use too much force, don't shake hard; Don't use two hands, shaking hands in this way is not professional enough for western companies. Hands should be dry and warm. If you have just arrived at the interview site, wash your hands with cold water to keep yourself calm. If the palm gets cold, cover it with hot water.
Sitting posture:
Don't sit close to the back of the chair, don't sit too full, and lean forward slightly after sitting down. Generally, it is advisable to fill two-thirds of the chairs. This will not only make you free up energy to answer the examiner's questions easily, but also will not make you too relaxed.
Tip:
Don't make small moves during the interview, such as folding paper and turning pen, which will be very serious and distract the other person's attention. Don't touch hair, beard and ears, which may be interpreted as not doing personal hygiene before the interview. Talking with your hands over your mouth is a sign of nervousness and should be avoided as much as possible.
Conversation style
Language is the second business card for job seekers, which objectively reflects a person's cultural quality and connotative accomplishment. In the interview, you should answer the questions properly, don't cry roast meat, don't exaggerate. The following points should be grasped in the conversation: first, highlight personal strengths and specialties, which have considerable credibility. Language should be general, concise and powerful, not sloppy, regardless of weight. Secondly, to show your personality and make your personal image distinct, you can quote others' comments appropriately, such as using teachers' and friends' comments to support your description. Third, stick to facts and use fewer function words and exclamations. Fourth, we should pay attention to language logic, and the introduction should be organized and focused. Finally, try not to use abbreviations, dialects, dialects and spoken language, so as not to be difficult for the other party to understand. When you can't answer a question, you should tell the other person truthfully. Ambiguity and nonsense will lead to failure.
Third, after the interview
Express gratitude/gratitude
In order to deepen the impression on the recruiter and increase the possibility of successful job hunting, it is best for job seekers to write a letter to the recruiter to express their gratitude within two or three days after the interview. Thank-you notes should be concise, preferably no more than one page. At the beginning of the letter, you should mention your name, brief information and interview time, and thank the recruiter. The middle part of the thank-you letter should reiterate your interest in the company and the position you applied for. At the end of the letter, you can express your confidence in yourself and your determination to contribute to the development of the company.
Interview etiquette of foreign enterprises II. Don't be late.
Being late will affect the image, and interviews in big companies often have to arrange many people at a time. If you are a few minutes late, you will probably miss the company forever.
1, it is best to arrive 10- 15 minutes in advance to get familiar with the environment.
Carnegie's story:
When I attended Carnegie Psychology and Interpersonal Communication Training Course in Hong Kong, my teacher told us an example. A vice president from Carnegie headquarters came to Hong Kong to give a lecture to the trainers. The training center is in Causeway Bay, and the vice president's hotel is also in Causeway Bay, but he arrived half an hour early after five minutes' journey. Our teacher asked him why he came so early. The vice principal said: "I arrived early, my heart is solid, I can calm down and have more confidence." Those of us who engage in psychological training know that if we are late, we will easily feel guilty, and our performance in class, logical thinking and language expression will be greatly reduced. Hearing this, he arrived early for every training session. In this way, even if there is traffic jam, there is still some room.
If it's a long trip, it's best to arrive 30 minutes or even an hour in advance. Beijing is very big, traffic jams are common, and it is inevitable to get lost in unfamiliar places. However, it is not advisable to arrive early, and it is best not to appear at the interview site more than 10 minutes in advance, otherwise the employer may feel very inconvenient because the things at hand are not handled properly. The bosses of foreign companies often say what time is, and generally don't advance it. Of course, if many people are notified in advance to come for an interview, those who arrive early can interview early or wait in the free conference room, that is another matter. For interview sites with long distance and complicated geographical location, you may wish to take a trip first, familiarize yourself with the traffic routes and terrain, and even find out the location of the bathroom in advance, so that you can know the specific location of the interview and the time needed on the road.
Don't laugh when it comes to "bathroom". Actually, it's very important. Let's tell a story about a person who works in a state organ going to a foreign company for an interview. He suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom before the interview, but because he was unfamiliar with the environment of the office building and had never been there before the interview, he naturally couldn't figure out which door it was. As a result, I ran into the fire escape and pressed the fire alarm. As a result, the whole building rang, which really caused a sensation. He hid in a panic for a while before going to the toilet. When he went to the interview again, he had already missed the appointed time. By this time, the interviewer had set off for the airport. He will lose the opportunity to enter this company forever.
2. Seize the opportunity to enter the house
After entering the room, if you find that the recruiter is filling out the last person's evaluation form, don't bother, but show understanding and cooperation. But don't be smart. It is wrong to wait outside the door without the knowledge of the recruiter. For recruiters, when to fill in the evaluation form and how long to write it are his own work arrangements; For you, if it's time for an interview, you should open the door. But if the recruiter asks you to wait outside the door, that's another matter. At this time, you should do as he asks. In fact, sometimes, recruiters have filled out the forms and started reading their own documents. At this time, if you take the initiative to wait outside, it will eventually be the result of "the dumb eats coptis, and there is bitterness that cannot be said". Someone will invite you in and wait in the room. You should listen to his arrangement, don't look around, don't touch your hands, don't close your eyes and don't interrupt. Although this period of time will be very difficult, it will pass with patience. If you really have nothing to do and a magazine to read, you can read it if you agree. Generally speaking, it won't take too long to fill out this evaluation form, so there is no need to save this time to see or do something. Experienced recruiters will properly handle this embarrassing situation. For example, if he thinks you have been waiting for a long time, he will suggest that you read the magazines on your desk first. At this time, even if you don't want to see it, don't refuse. It's another matter to look at it or not, but accept it politely.
Secondly, be polite.
Both the interviewer and the secretary should be treated politely.
Many people are rude to secretaries and think that secretaries are low-level and unimportant. Especially those who have part-time jobs want to put on an adjutant shelf when they see people lower than themselves. As we all know, in the culture of foreign companies, rank only represents the difference of division of labor, and everyone is equal at ordinary times. Of course, this is not to teach you to kiss up to the secretary, but to emphasize the principle of equality in the culture of foreign companies. Although some people get along well with recruiters, the secretary is disgusted with him. When negative comments reach the ears of recruiters, it will also adversely affect the interview results.
