I. Introduction

Group P may be a nightmare for many students, because they are unfamiliar with the interview form, too nervous to say clearly, and even have no idea about the topic to be discussed. My younger brother once had such doubts, but after one semester, he successfully passed the group meeting of Nortel, Ernst & Young, Ericsson, Midea, Ruian Jianye, Vanke, Nestle and GE Medical, and still accumulated some experience. The feeling is one-sided. Personally, I think that there are too many uncertain factors in one party, which often depends on the interviewer's preferences and mood, and the evaluation criteria of group face are relatively more and more quantitative, so there will be more countermeasures. Now, I want to write my own experience, hoping to help my brothers and sisters who are still worried about the group and future generations.

Second, the classification of group faces

1, generalized group p

As long as the number of interviewers or the number of interviewers is greater than 1, it will be included in interview group P. From the interviewer's point of view, there are generally 1 many-to-many, many-to 1 and many-to-many:

1 many:

The nature of this interview is still one-sided, and the skills that can be used are similar to one-sided, so I won't embarrass myself here. The main thing to pay attention to is to take care of the interviewer's feelings as much as possible, and make eye contact with all interviewers as much as possible when introducing yourself and answering questions, but don't switch too often. Look at one interviewer in one paragraph and another interviewer in the next. Try to be natural. Of course, when thinking, you don't always look at the interviewer.

1 many pairs:

This is the most obscene and contemptuous interview method of the interviewer. The fundamental reason is that the HR of the recruiting enterprise is lazy! ! In order to save time, the interviewer hopes to select excellent people from the crowd in a short time. The general process is that everyone introduces themselves in turn, and then the interviewer asks questions. According to the number of interviewers and the length of the interview, interviewers ask questions in different ways, with more people and less time. Generally, interviewers choose interested interviewers to ask questions. On the contrary, if not many people have enough time, they will ask the same question and let the interviewer take turns to answer it. For the former, the key is to introduce yourself. In addition to carefully preparing your self-introduction, learn to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, it is more important to prepare versions with different lengths, such as 5 seconds (can be used to answer? Please introduce yourself in one sentence or one sentence? 、? What is your greatest feature? 、? How do people around you evaluate you? One-sided problem), 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes,1minute. The purpose is to highlight yourself (advantages, of course) as much as possible within the specified time, so that the interviewer can remember himself. After introducing myself, the back is basically the same as one side. For the latter, the self-introduction mentioned above is also applicable, because this is the best time to show yourself, but the answer later is more important. For this part, although the nature is similar to one-sided, it is more difficult because the interviewer will compare. This requires us to make full preparations before the interview, including resumes and open questions. For resumes, it is best to use the star rule to answer, and try to make your own examples full. Every job and every decision are well thought out. For open questions, we should not only think according to our own actual situation, but also think about how most people will answer and what unique opinions they can have. When you are ready, you should answer it in the interview. Generally speaking, the interviewer will not limit the order of the interviewer's answers, but will be more inclined to whether there are volunteers. You can choose to take the initiative to answer questions that you are confident or have original ideas. For questions that can only be said by yourself and have no characteristic answers, we must take the initiative to answer them, seize the opportunity and say what we can think of. Finally, it is a good choice to listen to other people's opinions first, and finally make a reserved and agreed summary, which is also a compromise. Of course, these are not absolute. Even if you are sure of all the questions, you can properly converge and let others answer first, instead of being too strong.

Many to many:

This kind of interview is a comprehensive version of the above two, but the number of people is generally not too large. Need to pay attention to the above, prepare in advance, answer the opportunity, and take care of all interviewers.

2. Group P in a narrow sense

The above is mainly similar to one-sided, and what we are discussing now is the real group surface. Leading group discussion, case analysis, role-playing and debate have their own characteristics. The group faces mentioned below are group faces in a narrow sense, which are mainly discussed without leaders. The differences between other group faces will be said separately.

Third, the form of group face.

No matter what kind of group meeting, the layout is similar, many-to-many, and an interviewer makes the opening remarks, including the interview process and requirements. After the interview began, the interviewer stopped talking and did not participate in the discussion. The whole process will be mastered by the interviewer himself, and the interviewer will be distributed in different corners of the interview site to observe the performance of each interviewer and make records. Of course, the interview process is time-limited, and finally the interviewer will announce that the time is up.

Some companies will ask the interviewer to make a card with his name on it before the interview starts, which is convenient for the interviewer to identify.

For the interviewer, everyone will sit together, not side by side, because it is convenient for discussion. And usually the company will prepare relevant information and paper and pen. After the interview officially begins, the interviewer spends a short time reading and thinking alone, thinking about his own views on the tasks that the final team needs to complete, and making appropriate records. Then the interviewers began to express their ideas in turn. Then there is free discussion. Finally, make a summary statement according to the specific requirements. Generally, before making the final statement to the interviewer, the group should make a summary of the summary and reach a consensus or supplement (this step may not be necessary, but it is just a role-playing of Nortel).

After the interview, the company needs to recycle all materials, including draft paper, so the interviewer is generally forbidden to take notes and marks on the materials. Pay attention to this. As for the draft paper, it is hard to say whether it will affect the interview results, but there is no harm in developing a good habit of taking notes, hehe.

Fourth, the guiding ideology

Having said that, I haven't said anything professional. Why? In fact, personally, skills are always used to add points, and the essence and content of discussion are the key, so the focus of our attention and thinking should be on the issues discussed.

Generally speaking, group questioning is non-professional, which mainly examines the interviewer's analytical ability, logical thinking ability, innovation ability, problem-solving ability and on-the-spot reaction ability (other expression ability and team spirit are not discussed in this part). The so-called guiding ideology, in fact, is nothing else. It is enough that we have been studying philosophy from high school to university. Dialectics, dichotomy, grasping the main contradiction, the overall situation, the world is constantly changing and developing, and so on. These are all truths that everyone has learned and are easy to understand, but in daily life, even in interviews, it is difficult for us to use these truths to help us analyze problems.

In my experience, in fact, not all the principles will be fully used, as long as we grasp two: global and vertical and horizontal analysis.

1, overall situation

After reading the materials, many students hold on to the last problem to be solved as soon as they open their mouths, and simply talk about their own solutions. My approach is to analyze the material as a whole, and make clear several questions: what kind of environment and premise the material is built in, what is the biggest problem in the material (not necessarily the problem that needs us to discuss and solve, but it may be the root of all problems), what is the cause and effect of the problem and its logical relationship, and what standards we should set to look at the problem. With logical analysis and standards, I will put forward my own views according to my own analysis and standards. The advantage of doing this is that you can have an overall understanding of the problem, instead of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon, you can also show your various abilities to the interviewer.

2. Vertical and horizontal analysis

After a basic analysis of the materials, it is necessary to compete on arguments or viewpoints. In the interview, everyone's views are inevitably the same, but there are still ways to make their views as full as possible.

Transverse analysis:

This is the simplest. Try to think of as many examples as possible to support your point of view, which can be the same type or different types. Here are some examples. Of course, my brother has limited skills. Not only do the examples given not necessarily correspond to what I want to say, but even my own views are relatively retarded, for reference only. Daniel smiled.

Nestle problem:

Debate: The more choices, the more happiness or the less?

Our point of view: The more choices, the more happiness.

From the perspective of life, this paper tries to find arguments from four directions: school uniforms, canteen dishes, housing unit selection and transportation. The more choices, the better. Divergent to the usual entertainment, such as listening to music before going to bed, the diversity of TV programs and so on. Combined with the current job search, starting from the recruitment enterprises and candidates, the more choices, the better.

Horizontal analysis is very useful in the debate, which allows your teammates to demonstrate their views from different aspects, so that everyone can have something to say and have the opportunity to express themselves. The performance of the whole team will also give people a sense of unity. At that time, there was no obvious logical relationship between the arguments put forward by opponents, so everyone's speeches were similar and repetitive. Another advantage is that in free debate, we can easily dominate the topic, because the scope is wide, we can find examples at will and attack from multiple points.

Longitudinal analysis:

This is mainly a question of consciousness, which is easily overlooked. Many times, when expressing opinions, applying this consciousness to supplementary explanations will give people a sense of rigorous thinking. Specifically, your point of view only applies to a local time range, because everything is constantly developing and changing.

Vanke title:

Group discussion: the definition of success? Is it successful to become famous in the bristle? Background information: Zhang Ziyi, Hugo.

Horizontal analysis: the definition of success can be divided into two aspects (setting standards), personal value and social value.

Success means different things to different people. Even ordinary people are successful as long as they are satisfied with their work, family and life.

Vertical analysis: combining a moment with a lifetime, the brilliance of a moment is not equal to eternity. Even if the person mentioned in the material succeeds, it is temporary, and it cannot be directly judged that this person's success is lifelong.

For case studies, it is generally used for training rather than recruitment. In fact, there is little difference between the case analysis in the interview and the discussion without a leading group, mainly because of the different emphasis. Case analysis will pay more attention to the thinking process and reasons for drawing conclusions.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) division of roles

Finally, I talked about some technical problems. First of all, I have to say that many people have heard that groups generally have different roles, including time controller, leader, recorder, summarizer and so on. Some students like to do this division of labor well before the interview and clarify their roles. I object to this practice. First of all, these roles never need to tell the interviewer, and the interviewer will have his own judgment. Secondly, apart from the time controller, the determination of other roles is not conducive to the final performance of everyone in the group. The first is leadership, which is not obvious at all, or it may cause competition, and the most important thing is that before the discussion is over, everyone doesn't know who has the ability to be a good leader, so it is better to cooperate with Tongli. As long as everyone has a sense of time, don't pay too much attention to details and pay attention to all the requirements of discussion, then what's the point of not having a clear leader? Then the tape recorder. In fact, this is the worst. Ideally, everyone should take notes, not only their own opinions, but also other people's opinions. Because if your speech is only from your own point of view, it will be very one-sided. Only when you listen carefully and record other people's views, will you have the opportunity to analyze other people's views and refute or improve your own. Finally, it is a summary. Generally speaking, summing-up requires clear thinking, that is, the overall situation and logical thinking I mentioned before, which can clearly string together everyone's opinions, which is usually not what a recorder can do. Similarly, before the discussion is over, it is difficult to know who is the most suitable to make this summary.

Summarize the responsibilities of various roles:

Time controller: pay attention to the whole discussion process, how long each link will take, and remind all members when the time is approaching.

Leadership: this responsibility is vague (there is no discussion in the leading group). Generally, he presides over the whole discussion process, reminding members not to stray from the topic and paying attention to the length of the speech. Of course, there are other qualities that will be mentioned later.

Recorder: clearly record everyone's opinions and speeches and arrange them for the summary. This requires clear note-taking ability to minimize the reading difficulties of the summarizer. Generally, words should not be too ugly, and everyone's views should be clear-cut, listed point by point, and properly emphasized.

Summarizer: Presenting the results of group discussion to the interviewer, mainly focusing on the logic and organization of the speech. It is best to explain the thinking process of the team members. Of course, if some sentences are large, you can give the arguments to other members to expand.

I have played role-playing once, and the biggest feeling is that I am fully integrated into the role, and I will communicate with members of other roles as soon as I read the information. Because under normal circumstances, the materials held by one role will not contain the contents of other roles, only through full communication can we understand the whole discussion and the actual problems to be solved.

Six, skills and precautions

The following are some tips that I summarized. You can still use them appropriately in the group to give yourself extra points. Of course, the effect is hard to say. Let's think about it.

Elementary edition:

1, grab the time controller

Hold your watch or mobile phone in your hand before each interview. After the interviewer finished the interview process and requirements, he directly patted the timed things on the table and said a word? Now? Point? Do we have points? Do it in minutes and finally leave? Make a summary in minutes, just to? Point? Points, so let's start doing it now? . Generally speaking, no one will rob you. Of course, if you get it, you should do your duty.

2. Fight for the right to speak in front of powerful people.

Many students are very angry about this. If the discussion goes on like this, those people have been talking and can't get a word in. Mainly rely on hard work and seize opportunities. Generally speaking, strong people speak more logically and methodically. So there are two opportunities to interrupt. First, when he expounds his point of view, we can interrupt at a certain time. I think what I said is very reasonable, but because of the limited time, let's listen to the next classmate's opinion. , or? I think, shall we discuss the next question first? ; Second, use it when the other party expounds multiple viewpoints? Number one? 、? Second? For example, when he finished the third and wanted to say the fourth, he interrupted, and the content could be the same as before.

3. Get to know each other before the interview and exchange contact information.

Although it is said not to divide the work in advance, it is good to know in advance. First, when discussing, you can add the other person's name when agreeing or denying other people's opinions, instead of just saying nothing? This classmate? ,? That classmate? Yes Second, people who can draw the same road will be accompanied by you after the interview, and there will be more opportunities for communication. Third, we can exchange messages and know whether we have been killed by BS, without having to endure a long wait.

Step 4 raise objections

Generally speaking, the risk of being unconventional is still relatively high, but if it is determined, it is still possible to raise an objection appropriately. This skill is mainly in the way of speaking. I think everyone's opinions are excellent, but if you think about it from another angle, I feel the same way. what do you think? ? There is also a small skill implied here, that is, learning to praise others, which is very useful at any time, including in debates.

5. Pay attention to material conditions.

It is easy to directly analyze some big points when reading materials, thus ignoring qualifications. If a company has communication problems, whether it is between individual colleagues, between superiors and subordinates, or between departments, these are all very important for us to consider. What we have to do is to remind everyone when they ignore this, but don't force them to accept it. As long as you say it, the interviewer will notice.

6. The logic and organization of the speech

Logic is mainly to find out the causal relationship of each point, and it is best to briefly talk about the process of thinking. Orderly means learning to click? Number one? 、? First of all? 、? Finally? Equal transitional words. This skill is usually a deliberate habit and will be handy in the interview. Of course, it should be noted that you must know how many points you want to talk about before you explain, not just? First of all? After that, there was nothing.

Intermediate version:

1, try not to be the last person to make a presentation to the interviewer, but the person who made a summary in the group before.

This is because the person who makes the final statement will still be nervous, even if the content summarized before is sufficient, it is still difficult to perform perfectly. But how do you show your summing-up ability to the interviewer? This is the time, when the time comes, when everyone has similar opinions, can you say? In fact, everyone's views are very good. I think it's almost time. I made a simple summary myself to see what you have to add. First of all? . In doing so, the benefits to yourself are more obvious, because even if the final summary is good, it is also your credit. But it's a bit detrimental to people's quality. If the final summarizer is not strong enough, it is easy to be influenced by your thinking and behave abnormally.

2. Pay attention to and take care of the members who didn't speak or spoke less.

This skill is not always available, only when there are nervous and inexperienced members. When we take turns to express our opinions or even discuss freely, we should always pay attention to the silent members. When we want to change the subject, we can say. Why not listen to your classmates' opinions first? . Didn't you say not to rob the leader before? This action will make the interviewer feel that you have the qualities of a leader because you take care of all the members.

You don't need to argue with the same person for a long time when you are free to debate.

When someone refutes or questions his own point of view, it is easy for us to argue with each other, and then two people stand together all the time, and it is obviously not good for you to say I quarrel. In fact, we don't need to get up and respond to him. Other debaters on the same team will respond. The advantage of doing this is to avoid turning free debate into personal tit-for-tat, and at the same time show one's calm and teamwork spirit. Of course, if no one in the team responds, it's up to you.

Step 4 be a coordinator

When the group members disagree, if the number is relatively even, the final vote is generally time-saving. But if we are one-sided, we can give priority to the opinions of the majority and give due consideration to other opinions, and praise the students who put forward their opinions? Creative? . This also helps the interviewer feel that you are a leader.

Advanced edition:

Seeking suggested research and development

Seven. Concluding remarks

Ah, it's finally finished

The general company will take the group face as one side, mainly examining the comprehensive quality. The priorities and standards of different companies will not differ much. So, as candidates, we don't have to be one-sided? Be yourself? . In fact, the quality of group discussion is worth cultivating, especially logical thinking. Therefore, we can tilt ourselves in this direction appropriately if we really want to pass the group meeting.

The above remarks are personal opinions and are for reference only, because the most important thing is that no professional has ever come out to tell me whether the above things are correct and useful, which may be counterproductive. Therefore, readers should think for themselves, especially the last skill, and use it with caution.

Finding a job is a long process and a growing process. In one semester's job-hunting experience, I feel that I have learned more than in the previous three years. Of course, I don't mean professional knowledge. Again, everything is about character now. I hope this can help people in need and leave some character for yourself.

Finally, I wish everyone can find their favorite jobs, and welcome your criticisms and suggestions!
