1. Recite your resume directly
Excuse me? The interviewer is not blind. As long as your name matches the resume he got, you can determine who you are. There is no need to repeat the contents of your resume from beginning to end.
When you start repeating what the interviewer already knows, he is impatient. If your introduction is long, many bad-tempered interviewers will have a bad impression on you and start to stop your introduction.
2. Self-introduction of running account
After explaining who they are, many students began to explain what they did from school, when they went to what company, what they did after graduation, and then which company they jumped ship to, until now.
It makes people sleepy.
In fact, this is a typical inattention. Job seekers' first job is insurance company sales. It has been three years, and now I am looking for a job to do new media operations. Shouldn't you talk more about where you are suitable for this job? If you can't leave anything, is it necessary to expose your shortcomings?
3. The length of the space is not controlled
Many job seekers have two opposite behaviors when introducing themselves: 1. A long speech; 2. get things done hastily.
The former is wordy, probably because he is well prepared and wants to show enough. I didn't know that the interviewer's attention was limited. You skipped it and didn't hear much before you found out what you just said on your resume. More importantly, the interviewer doesn't know when you will finish and can only interrupt you, so you and the interviewer will be in a relatively confrontational atmosphere, which is the taboo of the interview.
The latter is sloppy. Are you really here for an interview? Why do I feel that you despise the interviewer?
4. the content has not changed at all
Job seekers will prepare self-introduction, but the problem is to prepare only one self-introduction. No matter what position or type of interviewer, the content of the statement is the same.
This is actually a reflection of inadequate preparation and inability to empathize.
Looking for a job is to reach an understanding with the interviewer and get recognition, so you need to know what the interviewer cares about. The product director doesn't care about your previous achievements in writing soft articles, and the HR interviewer doesn't care much about how skilled you are in Python.
If you meet a group of people, the interviewer will include your former interviewer. Think about the embarrassment of repeating the interview experience.
5. Take yourself to the ditch.
When some job seekers introduce themselves, there will be sensitive words such as "political struggle in the last company", "contradiction with colleagues" and "no performance".
For this kind of job seeker, I usually have eyes to pay tribute to him: you are a warrior and will soon become a martyr.
Interviewers usually ask questions immediately after hearing these important contents. If this is not the job seeker's design, he is likely to be asked speechless. Even if this is a job seeker's design, it will make the interviewer feel "Are you setting me up?" Bad feelings, remember.
A few principles and tips, I hope to help you:
1. Adjust the introduction according to the identity of the interviewer.
Interviewer's company, occupation, age, gender, rank, interview rounds and the most important job description. It has been repeatedly stressed that this is a unique interview. You should introduce yourself to this position before the interview. If it is already a multi-round interview, it is necessary to adjust the focus of self-introduction to meet the interviewer's possible concerns.
2. Design self-introduction to guide the focus of the interview
What the interviewer wants to hear, focus! What kind of growth have you had? What are you most concerned about and good at? Are you suitable for this position?
Then when you introduce yourself, you should design topic guidance to let the interviewer ask questions along your way, so that the fluency of the interview will be greatly improved. You can use space design and some emphasized words to help the interviewer find the key points.
3. Concise introduction+ending reminder
Don't introduce yourself too long, 3 minutes is the limit, and 1-3 minutes is generally recommended. You can do simulation exercises and time by yourself. When introducing yourself, you should add a reminder instead of understanding the ending, waiting for the interviewer to ask, "Are you finished?" This is equivalent to giving the dominant position to the interviewer. You can use the words "I believe I am qualified for this position, please advise me" at the end, which not only reminds you, but also politely gives the interviewer a push.
4. Grasp the initiative rhythmically
Actually, this is the principle behind 2 and 3. Do you think the interviewer is trying to help you think and deliberately make things difficult for you? In fact, he just wants to test whether you are qualified for this position. If you can take the initiative to control the rhythm and bring him to know you, then why not?
5. Do more mock interview exercises.
When some people think of an interview, they will think of all kinds of interview topics. In fact, even for the special post of technology development, which depends on written examination, most people should give it face to face. Why don't you prepare questions and answer them in a limited time?
As a senior interviewer, I want to emphasize a concept. Being able to answer questions does not mean being able to interview. There can be logical conditions in reality to answer wonderful questions. When faced with the smelly face of a serious and impatient interviewer, your mind may go blank.
There is an interview called "stress interview", which tests the performance of job seekers in a high-pressure environment. Even if you think about it for 1 minute, you can still come up with a perfect answer, but at that time, maybe you can't even introduce yourself.
It is suggested that you use the official WeChat account of "Workplace 1 to 1", select the appropriate interviewer according to the industry, occupation and interview rounds, and conduct a mock interview with online video 1 to 1.
One-on-one certification in the workplace has settled in more than 600 well-known enterprise tutors such as BAT, which is by no means interview skill counseling, but can conduct job matching analysis and simulated interview+guidance for specific majors, businesses and even company departments. It can really improve the interview preparation and interview pass rate, and the favorable rate is said to reach over 96%.
