The interview is not an easy task. If you are inexperienced, ill-prepared, or behave badly in the interview, you will be easily killed by HR. Let's take a look at ten performances that will definitely be killed in the interview.
Ten performances killed by HR in the interview 1 1. This company is not arrogant at all.
Camera playback: D is a master of returnees, majoring in finance. In D's view, his qualifications are quite competitive and he is quite sure of the interview. When interviewing a small and medium-sized enterprise, HR asked him to briefly introduce his experience. Three sentences later, he said it was on his resume. With a look of reluctance to talk more, HR suddenly frowned.
Expert comment: No matter how good your qualifications are, or you think this company is very humble, you should treat every interview opportunity modestly and calmly. Dale Hong, the chief career planner of Xiangyang Career, pointed out that job seekers are arrogant in the interview and will convey such a message to HR: 1) Arrogant attitude will definitely be brought to work; 2) This person must be difficult to manage and cultivate; 3) Loyalty is difficult to guarantee, so it is likely to be used as a springboard. If you don't pay attention to your attitude, you are likely to miss a good opportunity.
Ask for salary as soon as you open your mouth-money is the only thing.
Camera playback: C quit his previous job because of his low salary. It's almost two months, and the work has not been implemented yet. But as time dragged on, his pressure grew. What he was most anxious to know during the interview was "salary". At the end of each initial test, HR politely asked him if he had any questions. He opened his mouth and asked what the salary was. HR politely refused to answer, and there was no response later. C thinks it strange that he cares about salary. What's the matter?
Expert comment: There is nothing wrong with caring about your salary, but it takes some skills to touch this sensitive topic in the interview. Asking about salary at the beginning will make the other person feel that you only care about money, work and development. Yan Ling, career planning instructor of CCDM in Xiangyang career, suggested that there is nothing wrong with caring about money, but we must seize the opportunity. When the company recognizes your ability, thinks that you are the most suitable candidate for this position, and makes it clear that you will be hired, it is a better opportunity to talk about salary.
3. Take a mother to the interview-are you a baby in the workplace?
Camera playback: S just graduated and has insufficient work experience. Every time I receive an interview notice, my family will be very worried. I am afraid that I will meet a liar company and cheat money, but I am more worried about the safety of S. So every time I go to an interview, S's mother will always accompany me. In fact, every time I enter the company for an interview, although S's mother will find an excuse to stop by, the interviewer's strange eyes will always make S feel particularly embarrassed. Everyone in the company who saw this was whispering, and some people were snickering while covering their mouths.
Expert comment: It is very unwise for parents to accompany the interview. This phenomenon will inadvertently prove that "this child is not independent enough", which will reduce HR's impression of the applicant and worry about recruiting someone who has no independent ability to handle everything. Isn't that a burden for the team and the company?
4, sloppy behavior, shaking your legs into a habit-is this chatting in a teahouse?
Camera playback: F is used to being rambling. In this interview, the receptionist first led F to a small room and let him wait alone. Feeling bored, F looked around, drank some water, looked through the information book on the table, unconsciously propped up his legs and kept shaking his legs. A casual look, which was all seen by HR, made matters worse. During the whole interview, F shook his legs from time to time, which made HR lose interest and ended the interview in ten minutes.
Expert comment: Although you don't have to wait and die during the interview, you must abide by some codes of conduct in the whole process, which is not only the embodiment of professional quality, but also the embodiment of personal quality. From these behaviors, HR will judge whether you are a rigorous and binding person, and this question is related to the judgment of whether you are serious and responsible for your work, and naturally it is directly related to whether you will be admitted.
5. inattention-carried away by excitement or nervousness
Camera playback: T goes to interview the marketing assistant, which is the company she has admired for a long time. As soon as she entered and saw the beautifully decorated lobby, she was so excited that she began to fantasize about working here, and then she began to worry that she was not good enough to be hired. Waiting for the interview for a few minutes, T was full of ideas until the interview failed to hit the spirit. HR introduced her job responsibilities and asked her what she thought. T didn't pay attention carefully, so he had to look at HR with a puzzled face.
Expert comment: Going to the interview is not "Granny Liu enters the Grand View Garden", but coming out with a full face of curiosity. Before the interview, you must know as much as possible about the basic situation of the company. This is a respect for the company, but also reflects your professionalism and maturity in the workplace, which can greatly increase the success rate of the interview.
6, resume over-packaging-fraud kills personal integrity.
Camera playback: X wants to apply for a project manager, and he has spent enough time on his resume to perfectly package his qualifications. In an interview, HR asked him to talk about his previous work experience and achievements. X recalled the contents of his resume and briefly said the contents. HR continued to ask him that he would certainly encounter many difficulties in carrying out these tasks. When asked to give an example of how to overcome it, X began to hesitate and didn't know what to say.
Expert comment: "HR can easily judge whether a person is lying or exaggerating his ability. Maybe you can get away with a torture, but you can't escape the continuous and multi-angle torture. " Dale Hong, the chief career planner of Xiangyang Career, said that excessive and improper "self-promotion" will be found out in the interview, and there should be no luck on this issue. It is better to honestly admit your own shortcomings and say that you are prepared to "recharge" to make up for it, so that HR can accept you more easily. Excessive packaging will make you lose points in integrity, so you will be directly out.
7. Talk big-if you talk big, you lose.
Camera playback: A always feels that he is eloquent and good at communication, which is very suitable for sales, so he hurried to the interview. Because he just graduated and has little work experience, HR asked him if he had any relevant work experience or internship experience during his college years. A thought this was the best question he asked, so he began to tell various school experiences and stories, and unconsciously deviated from the theme. Finally, HR had to interrupt his rambling "description".
Answering questions in an interview should follow some principles and skills to improve interview efficiency and increase HR's recognition of you:
1, be concise, grasp the key answer to the question, and don't make too many extensions or expansions. Doing so can also prevent the situation of "more words and more mistakes".
2. Show your core competitiveness. Details such as the organization of the expression can judge your professionalism and proficiency in the work. Therefore, we must be fully prepared before the interview, especially in the highly professional field. It is necessary to draft the words that may be used before the interview.
3. Lead the conversation in a positive direction. No one is perfect, even if you have shortcomings, you can make HR think that "you are the most suitable candidate" through positive expression and full confidence.
8, good to show off-I have connections at home!
Lens playback: I have worked as an assistant in the marketing department for two years, and I have more external contacts and accumulated some interpersonal resources. I found that I am good at interpersonal communication and like to work with people, so I went to interview for a public relations position. During the interview, the examiner inspected the media relations she had established before, and she started to talk about Kan Kan, even giving all the "relations" at home. The effect is just the opposite. In the examiner's view, it is easy to show off at an early age, and at first glance it is an impetuous performance.
Expert comment: Just graduated from school, newcomers with a little "background" will make this kind of problem. I hope to use resources in the interview to increase my chances of getting a job. In fact, it is a good thing to have "resources", but in the interview, it is the first to reflect your ability and accomplishment, and at the same time, modesty and low-key are the ways to really attract HR attention.
9. Inappropriate clothes-an interview is not a party.
It's very hot in summer, so going out for an interview at one o'clock in the afternoon is really a pain. M wore a T-shirt with a slight waist, a skirt, a pair of high-heeled sandals, sunglasses and a parasol to go out and become a fashionable girl. She went to see the marketing manager with a confident face, but the culture of this company is relatively rigid, and the image of the marketing manager needs to be rigorous and professional. When HR saw her, he thought, "This is for a party."
Expert comment: A person's dress is also the embodiment of his professional level, especially the position that needs to contact customers frequently on behalf of the company. In Japanese enterprises, female employees are not allowed to wear short skirts or open-toed shoes. If you don't know this, you are likely to be "killed" because of the dress problem. If the judgment is not clear, you can ask the dress code when HR calls for an interview to make sure it is foolproof.
10, late for the interview-the lowest level. Mistake.
Camera playback: l received an interview call from a foreign company, and the other party asked to go for an interview in the afternoon. He wrote down the address in a panic and went out. Only when I got there did I know that I couldn't find the specific location of the company. Seeing that half an hour passed, HR called to ask about the situation. L was very helpless: "Sorry, I got lost. I don't know where I am now." HR immediately said, "Our interview schedule is very tight, and we have an interview with others later. You have to wait until further notice. " L's heart fell to the bottom on the spot.
Expert comment: Being late is a no-no in the interview. If you feel that time is too tight, you can explain the situation when the other party calls you for an interview and try to adjust the time. It is better to postpone the interview than to give people the bad impression of procrastination and unpunctuality. Xiangyang career reminds job seekers that 90% of the places they want to go during the interview are unfamiliar to them. Be sure to check the route in advance, go out early and leave room for manoeuvre. Even if you encounter unexpected situations such as traffic jams on the road, you won't be late.
How can the interview be so difficult that so many people are always "killed" at the last minute? Xiangyang career believes that an interview is like completing a comprehensive question, and there is no standard answer. What you need is to consider the problem as carefully and comprehensively as possible, show your professionalism and skills, and perform in all aspects in general, so as to ensure a high comprehensive score, successfully pass the interview and get valuable opportunities.
Top Ten Performances Killed by HR in Interview 2 ● Lack of self-confidence
Lack of confidence is due to fear of being hired. Assuming that the knowledge and ability of job seekers basically meet the requirements, then lack of self-confidence is a sign of inferiority. Driven by this psychology, it has various manifestations:
Hesitate, her voice is as light as a mosquito, and her expression is unnatural. I am afraid of saying the wrong thing, making a fool of myself, and worrying that I don't meet the requirements. Speak empty, sometimes increase the volume without self-study. Often accompanied by expressions, gestures, gestures. Talking is empty and boring, and too many small moves are to cover up your inner anxiety and timidity. Deliberately pursuing appearance does not meet the job requirements. Job seekers should pay attention to their clothes and dress neatly and appropriately. However, it is inappropriate for some people, especially young people, to wear bright clothes or suits and compete for the positions of cadres in government organs and organizations. This is actually a sign of their inner weakness. When talking, I often interrupt the other party, fearing that the other party will not understand me, especially fearing that the other party will misunderstand me, and I want to show my courage by interrupting. On the one hand, such a move is impolite, on the other hand, it is a deliberate attempt to hide one's lack of confidence. Dealing with all topics, just blindly obeying and nodding, can't see the subjective initiative of job seekers, and can't show the personality of job seekers. Temptation or indecision. If the candidate uses difficult words in the interview, hesitates or uses diplomatic language like a diplomat. Going around in circles on long-term interests will also cause the examiner's unhappiness. They are always afraid of saying the wrong thing in a big way. They are afraid of wolves before and tigers after. They carefully set obstacles for themselves, causing confusion in word order. "I wonder if I'm wrong?" "I am not sure!" "Let me think!" This kind of sentence is used too often. ? It is right to be cautious, but being too cautious will make people feel disgusted or look down upon. The company never wants to use poor people who have no opinions and are hesitant in everything. ? Other candidates are used to saying half a sentence, which always seems to make people too lazy to guess. "I have my own ideas." But no one knows what he thinks. Examiners are the last people who want to listen to such mindless words, and they have no patience to "listen to the next explanation". ? Hesitants rarely succeed in an interview. ? There are many manifestations of lack of self-confidence, and its general characteristics are looking forward and backward, timid, cautious and worried. Modern psychology tells us that success comes from self-confidence except for some basic conditions. Only with a calm mind, a natural attitude and seeking truth from facts can we give full play to our knowledge and ability, even to the extreme and achieve success.
● Improper dressing.
Don't make such a mistake, you must dress up beautifully when you apply for a job. In fact, there are many cases where job opportunities are lost for nothing because of improper clothes. ? Xiao Zhang is a male classmate, dressed casually and doesn't pay attention to gfd. In his initial job search, he always dressed casually and entered a big company as usual. During the exam, he followed suit and his expression was stiff. As a result, he tried again and again. He learned from his failure and changed his image. First of all, always dress neatly, politely, gently and dignified in every interview. At the same time, because I have had many large-scale experiences, I am much more experienced in dealing with it. It is no longer a simple "yes" or "no", but a timely disclosure of my knowledge and talents, an active exposition of my views on a certain issue, improvisation and free speech, thus winning the praise of recruitment enterprises. ? The following two examples are thought-provoking. ? A gentleman applied for an engineer position in a foreign company in Shanghai. After several rounds of interviews, he was good in all aspects and finally made an appointment with the foreign general manager. If there is no problem, he can be hired. After taking a big step, the foreign general manager said, "This kind of person cannot be considered by our company. This person hasn't taken a bath for at least a week, and he stinks. " To put it bluntly, this engineer failed to pass the "appearance" test for various reasons. As the foreign general manager comes from a relatively developed country, he lived in the circle of "aristocrats" when he arrived in China. He could not understand our general living conditions, nor lived in a cubicle or crowded a bus in Shanghai. So his comments are entirely based on the engineer's appearance and limited knowledge of China. Although the conclusion of the foreign general manager is one-sided, the experience of this engineer has greatly inspired the job seekers. We should not neglect our appearance because of poor objective conditions, otherwise, the examiners from outside will not forgive us, on the contrary, we will be looked down upon for this. ? A female middle school student who graduated from a vocational high school went to a high-end beauty salon for a fashionable perm and makeup the day before the job interview in the new shopping mall. After dressing up, she went to the interview with confidence. Because she saw all the salespeople in the store dressed up beautifully, people thought that salespeople were the "window" of the store, and they should pay attention to the beauty of their appearance when receiving hundreds of customers every day. Although the female student did well in school, she was finally eliminated, and several conditions were far less than her classmates' rebellion and she was hired, which made her puzzled. ? Afterwards, she realized that the problem was this new hot and fashionable hairstyle. The examiner for the interview is the district commercial director. His reason for not hiring this girl is simple: "She doesn't dress like a student, which makes people look uncomfortable." Examiners look at candidates according to the requirements of students, while job seekers want to imitate the image of salespeople to please each other. As a result, the two are completely different and self-defeating. For this candidate, the lost opportunity is due to improper dress. ? So what is "decent"? "Suitability" and "inappropriateness" are vague concepts. Under different time, place and twist, there will be mutual transformation between suitability and inappropriateness. For example, it is not appropriate to walk around the streets and go to work in a bathing suit, but it is not appropriate to jump into the swimming pool in a shirt and trousers. Here, if we have an "appropriate" and "inappropriate" operating principle, that is, the appearance should be consistent with the colored identity and the specific environment we are in at a certain moment. When you apply for a job as a student, you shouldn't dress too deliberately. When you apply for a job as a student, you shouldn't wear too much clothes in the room. When you apply for a famous big company, especially a Sino-foreign joint venture or foreign-funded enterprise, you must pay attention to your gfd, because your image will represent the image of the enterprise.
● Dishonesty
Lying will always attract others' disgust. There is such an intriguing thing: it is an advertisement for a sales manager in a well-known domestic company. In addition to the basic requirements such as education and age. The job advertisement also emphasizes good eloquence, good oral English and certain social skills. Xiao Shi, who just graduated from a famous university, has almost all the advantages: he majored in marketing and won the first prize in the school speech contest. English is his strong point. After going through the hardships of job hunting, he made up his mind to get the job. ? After successfully passing the written test by elimination system, he and several competitors went to a hotel room for an interview. Although I doubt why I chose this place when I was basically away from the company, I am still very calm in the face of the smart boss who is trapped on the sofa watching him. Obviously, Xiaoshi was satisfied with the results of the interview. After fluently and calmly answering all kinds of unexpected questions raised by the boss, the boss smiled at Xiaoshi: "It seems that you are still very capable, just a little young. You must learn to communicate. Just out of school, you can only be smarter if you study in society for a few years. But it doesn't matter, I can cultivate you slowly. " Xiaoshi was really flattered by this suggestion and quickly replied, "Well, thank you for your cultivation. I will definitely learn from you. " Walking out of the gate, Xiaoshi's heart is full of joy. ? Sure enough, the secretary team of that company called soon and asked Xiaoshi to go to the company for an interview. After telling him the detailed address of the company, he added, "Don't be late. Our boss hates unpunctual people." The next day, after Xiaoshi cheerfully found the address he had called half an hour in advance, Ruan Zhi couldn't find the company anyway. Asked the passers-by around, they all shook their heads and said that there had never been such a company here. Xiaoshi couldn't help wondering if he had misheard the address. In desperation, I wanted to make a phone call to check, but I remembered that the company was registered in the lobby of the personnel bureau and never left any address and phone number. I took a taxi to the hotel for an interview, and the people there said that the room had been retired, and I didn't know where the guests came from or where they were going. ? When I got home depressed, Xiaoshi really couldn't figure out which link had gone wrong. The most likely thing is to remember the wrong address. He remembered the best thing the boss said in the interview that day. "Well, people just think that my social skills are not strong and I am not flexible enough, but I can't find the company address. The boss hates unpunctual people, so I broke my promise. This job is hopeless. " ? In the evening, when Xiaoshi was thinking, suddenly the phone rang. Picking up the receiver, it turned out to be the boss of that company: "Why didn't you come today?" Did my secretary forget to inform you? She is so careless, it's time to fire her! After listening to the boss, Xiaoshi hesitated, but continued: "Oh, it doesn't matter, we can interview another day. "By default, all the responsibilities are placed on the secretary, although it is not her fault, although maybe she will pay the price of losing her job. But Xiaoshi was afraid to tell the shrewd boss that he didn't actually find a job because he was afraid that he would lose the job because of it. He really needed it. On the other end of the phone, it was the boss's hearty laughter. ? Sitting in front of the boss again, but this time in the newly rented office building of the company, the boss is still full of incomprehensible smiles: "Young man, let me introduce you to my newly hired sales manager. "Xiaoshi found that the ugly middle-aged man sitting next to him used to be his competitor. Now, middle-aged people have won, but they have lost inexplicably in advocating pebbles. ? For a time, Xiao Shi had mixed feelings, but he still tried to listen to the boss say, "Young man, you know you are the most capable of these people, but I didn't choose you." Do you know why I went from a poor man to such a big company in more than ten years? Apart from opportunities and abilities, I have always had a good reputation, just because I am honest. And my employees, especially the sales managers who deal with customers directly, should have this quality. In fact, the address my secretary told you was false, and you couldn't find my company at all. I'm calling you just to know what happened to you at that moment, because that's the best way to see if a person is honest or not. Only one person didn't let me down. Although his ability is not the highest, I chose him with confidence. " ? With his head down, Xiaoshi was speechless. ? Honesty is a word that we have been used to since childhood. Almost every story teaches us to have this excellent quality. However, I don't know when it started, but we are often blinded by utilitarianism and slowly forget those stories. In fact, as many successful entrepreneurs have said, their success stems from the honesty we had in childhood, but many candidates paid the price for their dishonesty and lost the job they longed for for for a long time.
