Facing how HR presents itself, interview is a specific scene in job hunting. How to "show off" yourself in front of someone who doesn't know you and highlight your strengths and advantages is a university question. Let's see how to show ourselves in front of HR.
How to show 1 in front of HR and practice a vivid on-site interview with three senior HR from GE, Pepsi Food and Mercer Consulting is really a rare experience for junior students who are about to enter the job search.
On June 7th, seven contestants from Shanghai Jiaotong University accepted this advance test in the simulated interview field of ACCA Employment Competition.
How to leave a good impression on HR during the interview? How to avoid making immature mistakes in the interview? The mock interview gave college students a real first lesson.
I can use ACCA to introduce myself to you. I am active, creative, challenging and ambitious, which is my characteristic.
At the beginning, Ye Tao, a junior in the School of Management, skillfully quoted the four English letters "ACCA" from the organizer to introduce himself, which made people shine at the moment and made him get extra points from the beginning.
Every college student's appearance shows quite mature professional temperament. However, with prepared and thoughtful opening remarks, HR people can obviously catch their eye.
Attracting the interviewer's attention with a good first impression is an important part of the interview. Wang Chen, HR of Pepsi Food, left a good impression on Ye Tao. "Formal interview is a long process, and the first impression of job seekers on the interviewer accounts for a considerable score.
On the contrary, the image of some players with their hands in their pockets when introducing themselves made her feel quite disappointed. Obviously, players need to pay more attention to how to show their highlights when they first appear.
How to "show off" your own documentary: Can you share with us what has a leading influence on you during your college years?
Faced with this open question, the contestants began to describe their "great achievements" as student cadres, which awards they won, and which social activities they hosted ... In the quiet exclamation of "awesome people" under the stage, the contestant "Tan Xing" on the stage was stronger.
While talking, I even digressed from the topic, and even brought out the anecdote that the number of girls enrolled exceeded that of boys when recruiting student officials ... There are too many success stories, and they pay too much attention to "showing off" their achievements rather than emphasizing what they have done. What they have learned from these cases that have a far-reaching impact on themselves is HR's evaluation of the shortcomings of young players after the game.
"In fact, what the interviewer wants to know is not the success story, but what you have learned through this experience. Why doesn't anyone think that some failed stories can impress us more than successful stories? " Xu Fei said.
She thinks it is necessary to mention the awards and achievements she has won, but there is no need to expand them in detail. She must grasp a degree.
Xie Yi of Mercer Consulting pointed out directly that when answering such open-ended questions in an interview, players are likely to be talkative, unintelligible and even off topic.
She suggested that college students pay more attention to HR's face in the interview. If she is interested in your topic, then you can make it more infectious. But if you see that the interviewer's eyes have turned to other directions, or start reading resumes, then you'd better keep your mouth shut.
Torture career planning with your heart: what do you think of your career? What is your career development goal? Where are the goals you set for yourself in three to five years? These are three questions that Wang Chen and his company throw at the contestants, and they are also the most frequently asked questions of college students in job interviews.
Some players answered skillfully. He compares his job to his girlfriend, whose girlfriend can change frequently, and his career to his wife, which is a lifelong thing. Some players said that their career goal is marketing or sales, hoping to become an expert in this industry within 3-5 years;
Some contestants are realistic and think that undergraduates should be happy with the status quo and believe in the company's arrangements for their career development. The answer is clever and the expression is smooth, and almost every player shows quite mature temperament.
However, HR Xu Fei of GE China gave advice to the contestants: almost all the contestants applied a similar model-set an imaginary goal and then study for an MBA. Almost every job seeker will say this answer. The key is that college students should ask themselves whether they can really develop in this direction in the future.
In this regard, ACCA, as the organizer, said that during the interview, many students were very confident, with strong expression skills and self-promotion skills.
But at the same time, they are also prone to make the mistake of overestimating themselves and underestimating the possible problems in future practical work. Therefore, ACCA also suggested to college students,
We should seize the opportunity, participate in social practice or enterprise practice, and truly understand our strengths and weaknesses in the actual post. The more real, the more touching. On-site record: HR is also a human being, and they can be moved. The more real things, the more touching.
"Deliberately expressing your creativity and trying to answer things that the interviewer can't think of seems to be the thinking habit of many students now."
In the summary stage of mock interview, Xie Yi put forward euphemistic suggestions to college students. In fact, many times, you don't have to interview for the sake of an interview. The more real things are, the more impressive they are.
"HR is also a person, and they can also be mobilized." Xie Yi's point of view points out the common problems of most college students in job hunting. "It is very important to express yourself, but if you change yourself in order to enter the company, try to cater to the interviewer and answer the answers the company wants, then even if the job search is successful, the result will not be worth the candle."
The details are the most important: I found that during the whole interview, none of the students sitting in the front row took the initiative to hand over the microphone on the desk to the inconvenient students behind. In fact, if you do this, you will leave a good impression on the interviewer.
This is Ge's advice to the contestants at the end of the mock interview. Although every player in the competition is wearing a suit or a mature suit,
But in details, they still failed to meet the requirements of HR. It can be seen that the etiquette of the interview can't be passed by dressing appropriately.
"Throughout the interview, I only noticed that one classmate kept a good sitting posture, and others didn't pay much attention." After the game, Xu Fei emphasized to reporters that she attached importance to etiquette.
She said that these details are often the reference for HR to judge the professional level of job seekers. Although this is only an informal mock recruitment, the performance of the players is obviously not satisfactory. (Chen Wen)
How to show yourself in front of HR 2 How to "show" yourself in the interview?
expressive
When introducing personal experiences, don't become a running account, which is boring. In a certain job, you should use some modifiers appropriately to show your own characteristics. You should pay attention to the following aspects: what did you say and do in what situation?
How did you feel then? Then what happened? What's the impact? Through this narrative, the sense of the scene of the event emerges, and the credibility and persuasiveness will be greatly increased invisibly. This makes it easier for the interviewer to understand and identify with your past experiences and abilities.
But the advantages are only suitable for highlighting one or two points. Too much boasting makes people feel that they have no advantages or are disgusted. Some companies also require candidates to provide some materials and works as proof, which is also a good opportunity to show their advantages.
Weigh a person's words carefully and observe his facial expressions closely.
In an interview, the most basic points of attention should not be too complicated or too simple. When expressing, be clear in logic and avoid telling stories or details too much. Learn to read words and observe colors when expressing, and the interviewer can say more when he shows great interest.
And if the other person shows impatience, you should stop when you are in a hurry. For the interviewer's questions, try to divide them with such obvious signs as "1, 2, 3" so that the listener can have a good record. Generally, the answer to a question should be controlled within three points to avoid the fatigue of the other party caused by too long narration.
In addition, the identity of the interviewer will also affect the content of the conversation. If the interviewer is a department manager, the focus of the job seeker's conversation should be technology and business; If the interviewer is from HR, the focus should be on corporate culture and career planning.
Emotional expression
It is very important to show enthusiasm for work in an interview, but in a tense and unfamiliar interview environment, people always unconsciously hide their true nature, which seems to make them feel more secure.
Adjust your mood, and tell your experiences and knowledge that are related to your work and have profound significance to you, and your enthusiasm will naturally show. In this way, you can not only naturally show your enthusiasm and persistence in things, but also show your most confident side.
body language
The most important thing in an interview is to give people confidence and integrity. Therefore, the standard way to talk is to look directly into the other person's eyes. Don't lean on the back of the chair with your hands on the table or legs.
You can use some gestures to enhance the ideas expressed, but not too much. "There was once a candidate who kept looking at the ground when communicating with me. I can't see his expression or eyes at all.
Whatever the reason, it is very unfavorable in the interview. Some HR said, "The cultural background of the interviewer and the company itself also determines some points for attention during the interview. For example, companies in Europe and the United States may be more relaxed, most HR like a solemn and serious atmosphere, and the candidate industries should not be too casual. "
Interview is a face-to-face investigation of the applicant by the company, so all the details and body language of the applicant from entering the door, sitting down and leaving will be concerned about whether it is integrated with the company culture.
