How do fresh graduates skillfully answer a series of questions when they attend the interview?

Remember before you start:

Golden Rule: 80/20-You must occupy 80% of the conversation, and the interviewer will only say 20%.

Platinum Rule: You must try to control the pace and topic of the interview.

The diamond rule: throw your uncertain questions to the interviewer.

Introduce yourself in a minute.

This seems to be a compulsory question. Don't think it's easy. If you repeat your resume every minute, congratulations, the impression is gone! I suggest you introduce your name, school and major in 20 seconds at most. Then the conversation turned to one's own advantages or strengths. Be sure to arouse the interviewer's goodwill or at least interest in you in the shortest time.

The successful model can be: my name is XXX, my English name is XXX, and I come from XX city, XX province. I will graduate from XX school in June this year. In addition to the introduction you saw on your resume, I want to talk about my specialty in XXX/my biggest feature is … (for example). It is based on this confidence that I have the courage to apply for the position of XXX in your company. (Looking at his watch) One minute is up. I hope I haven't timed out. (Very sunny smile)

If the interviewer's EQ is not too low, your last sentence should make him relax and smile. Young people will ask, "Why do you think so?" If he really asks you, you're right!

You have every chance to manipulate this interview!

2. A question that recent graduates are often asked is: Why do you choose this major at present?

Note that the purpose of this question is to examine the quality of your decision-making, so don't simply say "interested" or "optimistic employment prospects". Give a successful example (the same applies to "What was your last successful/biggest decision?" ):

Q: Mr. Zhang, why did you choose finance as your major?

A: Indeed, finance has been a hot major in colleges and universities for many years, which inevitably leads to fierce employment competition. But I chose finance major, not only because of its popularity. I have long been aiming at the employment of foreign-funded enterprises in Suzhou Industrial Park. According to the statistics I collected when I was in the third year of high school, there were XXX foreign companies in the park at that time, and they were increasing at the rate of XXX% every year. If there are at least five people in the finance department of each company (general ledger, accounts receivable and payable, taxation, cashier and a manager), and the average turnover rate in the park is 15%, then there will be XXX vacancies when I graduate. When I graduated, there should be graduates of XX related majors all over the country. Among them, 10% may be aimed at Suzhou, and the Suzhou University I reported has a good local reputation, which is above average. Then, there are 1/2 opponents who can be eliminated by me. In addition, I studied in Suzhou, and I can seek opportunities earlier in four years. Therefore, I chose this major with confidence.

In fact, no interviewer will believe that you really did such a detailed investigation and analysis, but you showed your thinking when making a decision, so you can get extra points.

Remember: all the answers should conform to the characteristics of your major. Don't speak too well, just explain yourself, otherwise, they will think you are either too hypocritical or too arrogant. There is also the need to show interest in my major, or add some dramatic effects: I originally understood financial management as accounting, so I really regretted it for a while at first, and I didn't really like my major until I started my internship in an enterprise in my junior year. This is true and credible, and more importantly, you naturally lead to the prepared question: the harvest of internship.

In order to examine your learning ability, we usually ask you what you gained during your internship. At this point, don't exaggerate your achievements, be modest. Also, you might as well talk about your mistakes (don't be afraid, after all, you are an intern). Remember: explain in detail the situation at that time, the purpose (task) to be achieved, the action taken, the result of the matter, the lessons learned and how to apply them to future work to avoid making similar mistakes. Finally, it is concluded that there is still a long way to go before the knowledge in books can be skillfully used in work. It can also be said that after returning to school, I made a summary of my internship experience and found that I still need to strengthen in XXX. So I pay great attention to using the last semester of college to make up for this deficiency. Now, I have great confidence in myself. If I can go back in time, I believe I can do better.

4. Have you ever worked with others? (Be sure to answer "Yes") So, how do you handle the disagreement in this process? It's time to check your conflict management. Most enterprises nowadays don't appreciate unprincipled good people. So, you should make yourself strong.

I am satisfied with this answer:

Everyone in the team should be able to express their opinions freely and frankly, and I will listen and analyze them very carefully; But I won't give up my opinion easily without principles. After democracy, we need to concentrate. I am the president of the school English club. When organizing the annual inter-school party, two directors disagreed with me.

(pause, let the interviewer remember your bright spot) I had a meeting with them. Everyone explained their reasons. It's a pity that I still haven't convinced these two people. In this case, I thanked them for their active participation, but indicated that I would still adopt my plan. My philosophy is: meeting is not equal to voting, and there is no need for the minority to obey the majority; I am the person in charge, and I believe I have the ability to take the best plan; If I fail, I will also bear the main responsibility. And if I am an ordinary member of the team, I will reserve my opinion, but I will conscientiously implement the decision made by the manager. Of course, the school is different from the company after all, and the situation will be more complicated, but I firmly believe that any problem can be solved as long as the principle of "taking things for people" is followed.

When answering, be sure to look at the interviewer, smile and play down your aggression.

If you are really not sure, you can throw the question back to the interviewer and give an example (the same question):

Q: How do you handle differences of opinion?

A: What you asked is exactly what I am most puzzled about. The teachers in our school have never given us such advice. On the one hand, I don't want to be an unprincipled good person. On the other hand, we are classmates who live together day and night. I don't want them to think I'm overbearing. I did this at that time: ... but until now, I don't know if I did it right. Maybe I can get some advice from you. Do you think there is something wrong with what I did then?

If the other person teaches you an example immediately, he must be a novice, so you don't have to be nervous, because the reasonable response should be noncommittal: in fact, there will never be a standard answer to this question.

Someone asked how to solve multiple problems at the same time. This is the ability to set priorities. The way to deal with it is to divide all the things to be dealt with into four quadrants in order of priority: important and urgent; Important but not urgent; Not important but urgent; It's not important or urgent. But remember, don't describe this idea directly, it will make people feel that you don't look like a fresh graduate. It is best to illustrate with examples. A good example I interviewed: I just prepared for CET-6 in my junior year. At this time, I have the opportunity to work as a part-time department assistant in an enterprise, but it takes three and a half days a week. At the same time, the monthly English salon activities should be organized and arranged, and you should (embarrassedly) take time to spend with your girlfriend (the last point is very important, which can enliven the atmosphere and set an example for the following). I used to work in the company when there was no class in the afternoon, and I usually went back to school at 5: 30. The 30 minutes on the bus is just a summary of the gains and knowledge you need to know in the company that day. Have dinner with my girlfriend in the canteen, go to the classroom for self-study at half past six and return to the dormitory at ten. The work of the English salon was entrusted to two officers in my sophomore year. They will come to the self-study classroom to talk to me every day for 10 minutes, and I will give them some advice. In this way, I didn't spend too much energy on salon activities, but I could understand and control the whole process. Later, I passed CET-6 successfully. That company spoke highly of my work and I learned a lot. The activities of the English salon were held as scheduled, and my girlfriend and I were not alienated.

This also shows three abilities: priority setting; ; Empowerment and work/life balance

As a fresh graduate, you should know the department structure of foreign companies before the interview. Take European and American enterprises as an example, the positions of general departments are, from low to high, as follows: assistant (if undergraduate, sometimes you can skip it)-Commissioner-High Commissioner-supervisor-senior supervisor-deputy department manager/department manager-department manager. General supervisors require more than 5 years of relevant work experience, which is a watershed. Ok, let's talk about how to answer questions about career planning in the interview. In fact, this kind of question doesn't need you to answer impeccably, and it can't be done-you put it bluntly and feel that you have no ambition; The answer is too professional. I think you are too ambitious.

Answer this kind of question, there are the following points that can help you add points:

1. Set a long-term goal related to your major; This goal should be related to the work of the company but not limited to the enterprise (because of the limited space, you will encounter many too detailed problems). For example, students majoring in HR can say that their goal is to become an excellent talent evaluation expert or senior enterprise human resources consultant before the age of 35, that is, 10 years; Engineering students can become lean production experts or black belt masters; IT majors can become experts in information resource integration and ERP solutions, and so on. Focus on what you want to do, not what level you want to climb.

2. Break down this goal, and gradually advance it with the progress of 1 year, 3 years, 5 years and 10 year. I have to make this up myself. I'm afraid I can't give examples one by one. Remember, each stage should explain what contribution you can make to the company, what improvement you can get, and how this relates to your long-term goals. At this point, you can properly contact the department structure just mentioned.

In this process, you should not only try to recharge yourself, but also talk about what kind of help you hope the company can give you. For example, there are opportunities for job rotation; Or you can participate in various projects and so on. Don't mention hoping that the company will give you training, send you abroad and reimburse your tuition. Show that you want to grow in practice.

4. Emphasize your mental stability. You can say something like this: "What China people pay most attention to is' being righteous' or' not doing their job if they are not in their position', so many people think that only by giving the position of supervisor can they exercise their rights and play their role. My idea is different from others. I think on the contrary, when you show the ability of a supervisor and can finish more work, the company will naturally consider adjusting your position. When you don't have enough power, you should use your influence, so I despise those who think about promotion all day but have no results. " In this way, your self-packaging is more than half successful.

Finally, be careful not to appear overconfident when answering similar questions. Occasionally showing that you are inexperienced will make the interviewer feel that you are still as simple as a student. "This is a big problem. I also thought about it intermittently when I was at school. Now, if I simply say it, it may seem wishful thinking and I hope to get your advice. " This kind of buffer is very useful in many situations. (Remember the diamond rule? )

Finally, I want to mention the body language of the interview. The freshmen I interviewed should be 800, not 1000. I found that almost 90% people take a very closed posture after sitting, which is very formal. This can't be said to be a bad thing, but it does make it difficult to open the situation at the beginning of the interview. Now, close your eyes and imagine a close couple talking sweetly by candlelight. Their posture should be similar. You usually have a long talk with your good friends, and I believe you use the same posture; When the heads of state talk on TV, in most cases, they pose the same or close. This is because: if two people take the same posture during the conversation, both sides will have a sense of mutual recognition in the subconscious. We call this gesture harmony. Personally, I attach great importance to using harmonious relationship to improve communication effect (especially if someone talks to me with his hips akimbo, regardless of his position, I will talk to him with his hips akimbo-the loser never loses:)

In addition, the use of gestures is also very important in the interview. Especially when answering big questions, listing 1, 2, 3 on the desktop by hand will make people feel that you are very organized and will not appear immature.

Speaking of what I will do, putting my palm on my heart really strengthens me.

Bottom line: When interviewing, you should be educated and relaxed.
