1. Why should we hire you?

Some interviews only have this one question. Although it is simple, it is quite difficult. The main thing is to test your calmness and confidence.

Based on your actual situation, think about it carefully and see how you can say it in the most convincing way.

How to leave a good first impression in an interview

The interview is the first point of contact between the two parties. How to participate in the interview to leave a good impression on the employer?

First of all, you must know yourself and the enemy, and have a clear target.

Before the interview, you should try to understand the situation of the employer as much as possible, and then you can be targeted. Because different units have different work characteristics, the focus of the assessment of college students is also different.

At present, employers are roughly divided into four categories:

The first category is foreign companies. Its work characteristics are: generous salary and benefits, comprehensive training system, global working environment, motivating corporate culture and promotion system, strict performance appraisal system, high pressure, and the need for talents with innovative spirit and team spirit. .

The second category is private enterprises. Its work characteristics are: flexible mechanism, many opportunities, fast growth, high income, training in various abilities, laying the foundation for self-employment, high work pressure, high risk of unemployment in small private enterprises, and a certain risk-taking spirit and independence. Strong talents.

The third category is state-owned enterprises. The characteristics of its work are: some state-owned enterprises will withdraw from competitive industries, and there is a large gap in efficiency and income between state-owned enterprises. Since most state-owned enterprises are pillar enterprises or backbone enterprises of the national economy, they need talents with a strong sense of responsibility and mission.

The fourth category is national civil servants. The characteristics of his job are that he is more stable than in a company and has the opportunity to realize his lofty ambitions to change society. The working environment is relatively relaxed, the average age is high, promotions are relatively slow, and salaries are relatively low, but benefits are good. Talents with strong comprehensive coordination skills are needed, and student cadres have a relatively competitive advantage.

Graduates should be familiar with and master the relevant information of the units they are applying for in advance. During the interview, they should focus on emphasizing their strengths in certain aspects according to the specific conditions of the employer, so that the chance of success in the interview will be greater.

When understanding the applicant, you should focus on the following:

The number of people in the company, the year it was founded, the location of the head office, the size of the company, the nature of the company, what products it has, and the market for the product Positioning, share, major customers, growth profile in the past three years, organizational profile, and the company’s influence at home and abroad. Xiang et al. Relevant information can be obtained through company websites, financial newspapers, magazines, interpersonal networks (such as mentors, seniors, relatives, friends, etc.), career center data rooms, etc.

At the same time, graduates also need to understand as much as possible the job responsibilities and required skills of the position you are applying for. It is worth noting that it is absolutely correct to make all preparations for a certain position, but you must not limit yourself to a certain position and neglect to consider other positions.

Secondly, we must make good use of "hypotheses" and adhere to "principles."

If an organization notifies you to go for an interview, before the interview, in addition to preparing written materials in advance, you must also make some psychological preparations and master several interview principles and techniques. When preparing for the interview, interviewers should make good use of "imagination", place themselves at the interview location in advance, and conduct mental rehearsals, which will enhance their self-confidence during the interview. Before that, you need to be fully prepared for some conventional questions, such as: Why did you choose our company? What opportunities do you value most about the company? How do you evaluate yourself, etc.

Principles and techniques that should be paid attention to during interviews:

First, be good at utilizing strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and fully demonstrate your personality.

Second, the way you answer the question is more important than the result.

Third, most of the questions answered have no standard answers.

Fourth, when facing deliberate difficulties, you must respond calmly, keep smiling, and do not show dissatisfaction on your face.

Fifth, strive to create a harmonious communication atmosphere.

Sixth, asking the examiner appropriate questions can better demonstrate your ability.

Seventh, if there are other applicants present, take care of others when answering questions. This will make you appear more mature.

Again, we must look dignified when we come and go when we go out gracefully.

During the interview process, proper etiquette is also very important.

The specific requirements for interview etiquette are:

First, arriving at the interview location 5-10 minutes in advance is the most effective. Being late is the most taboo.

Second, when it is your turn for the interview, you should knock on the door gently outside the interview room and obtain permission before entering.

Third, you can take the initiative to greet the examiner, nod, smile and greet.

Fourth, when talking to the examiner, you should not always look at the other person. You should look away appropriately, but you should not look around carelessly.

Fifth, when the examiner signals that the interview is over, you should stand up with a smile, thank the employer for giving you the opportunity to interview, and then say: "Goodbye!" and gently close the door.

Finally, how you dress during the interview is also important.

When choosing how to dress, you must first consider the nature of the company you are applying for and the position you are applying for. For example: If you are applying for a position that requires innovation, it doesn't matter if you dress a little more avant-garde and have a bit of personality.

For male students, a dark suit, paired with a white, light gray or light blue shirt and a simple tie is suitable for any interview situation. In addition, the clothes must be clean and flat, the hair must be neatly combed, the leather shoes must be polished, the nails must be clean, and the beard must be cleanly shaved.

Female students have more choices in clothing than male students. But dressing elegantly and naturally is still the best option. Wear a dark or neutral suit, pair it with lightweight shoes with semi-heels, and your hairstyle should not be too ostentatious.

How to collect relevant information before the interview

Know what you know and you will never be defeated. Before the interview, you must collect extensive materials and information from all aspects. With sufficient information preparation, even "on-the-spot performance" will be quite exciting and outstanding.

A. Collect the information of the recruiting unit:

Try to understand the nature and background of the recruiting unit as much as possible, and find out exactly what kind of industry it is and what kind of products it produces; it is a sole proprietorship Or a joint venture, what is its culture (including slogans and image)? At the same time, we must try our best to understand the business situation of the recruiting unit, such as: Was the past performance good? Who do you do business with? What is the unit doing now? If it is a factory, what is the registered trademark of the factory's products? What are the development prospects of this unit? In addition, you should also know as much as possible about the internal organization, employee benefits, general starting salary, working location, etc. of the recruiting unit.

Where can I get the above information? You can ask your parents, friends, classmates or relatives, you can also ask acquaintances who work in the employer, you can also find it through phone calls, news reports, advertisements, magazines, business directories and other books.

A job applicant who knows nothing about the recruiting unit will definitely fail during the interview. For example: Two years ago, there was a male graduate with a bachelor's degree in marketing in Guangzhou. He was full of confidence to apply for the sales staff of the "Avon" company invested and established by the United States in Guangzhou. He originally thought that "Avon" was just this company. It's just a beautiful name. I didn't know that "Avon" is a registered trademark for women's cosmetics. Therefore, during the interview, when the American interviewer asked him why he applied for the company, he replied without hesitation: "I like 'Avon'". As a result, the serious examiner couldn't help but laugh. The gentleman was defeated by such a reply. Just imagine, how could a person who knew nothing about his product be hired to promote it?

B. Collect relevant information about the examiner:

First of all, you need to find out the name of the examiner, and you must be able to speak their last name correctly. If the examiner is a foreigner, sometimes it is difficult to pronounce their name accurately. It is advisable to check the correct pronunciation in a dictionary. Then, try to understand as much as possible the personality, behavior, interests, and hobbies of the interviewer, what is his background, what major changes have occurred in his life recently, and what was his state of mind during the changes? What are the differences between you and the interviewer? Do you have the same acquaintance? Only by knowing the situation of the interviewer well can you be easy to defend and easy to attack during the interview, and remain invincible from beginning to end.

C. Prepare your own information properly:

Some industries have restrictions on academic qualifications, abilities, and age. You must check whether your qualifications meet the conditions in advance. Don't try your luck. If you think you meet the qualifications, you also need to determine which position you are qualified for. Then prepare your own graduation certificate, degree certificate, professional qualification certificate, award certificate, ID card, recommendation letter and other materials. When going to the interview, you should put these materials in a briefcase in an orderly manner and take them with you so that the interviewer can check them at any time. Keeping an organized briefcase will make you look competent and trustworthy. In addition to the above-mentioned personal information, the briefcase can also contain some work-related information or information that is helpful for conversation. Maybe these information will have a surprising effect during the interview. If the interviewer asks you some unexpected questions, you can take out your notebook and answer: "I also saw an article related to this question some time ago. I was particularly interested, so I took notes. Do you have any questions?" Check it out if you're interested. "In this way, the interviewer will look at you differently.

In addition, you can also prepare a larger book or magazine to put in the briefcase. Usually there is always a period of waiting before the interview. If there are more candidates and you are arranged later, then you will have to wait longer. Waiting makes people irritable, makes people make unreasonable guesses, and disrupts already prepared steps. In this case, you can take out a book or magazine and read it. Reading can make people calm and calm. If the interviewer is late and you have a book or magazine in your hand, you can read it with full concentration and appear not to have paid any attention. If the interviewer deliberately teases you and keeps you waiting for a long time in order to show his authority, you can just show that you turn a blind eye by reading a book, thus avoiding a head-on conflict with the interviewer. If there is even a slight unpleasant conflict with the interviewer, the candidate will never be hired.
