What are the skills for a successful interview?

The essence of interview is the process of information exchange between examiners and candidates to obtain comprehensive evaluation, which is fully embodied in the form of "speaking" and "listening". Candidates' attention to listening is not only respect for the examiner, but also means that you must pay attention to listening if you want to answer the examiner's questions. Only by listening attentively can you grasp the essence of the problem, otherwise, it may be irrelevant and irrelevant. Therefore, in the interview, we should pay attention to the following points: First, we should concentrate our eyes, pay attention to the examiner politely, and make eye contact with the examiner from time to time. The line of sight is roughly below the nose and above the chest. Don't look around. Second, try to smile, timely and hearty laughter can make the atmosphere active, but don't laugh; The third is to nod in response to the speaker's conversation and say some short and affirmative words at the right time. Yes, yes, yes, not bad, etc. ; Fourth, lean forward slightly and don't have too many postures on your hands and feet. If you are careless, your expression will easily hurt the self-esteem of the subjects. In the interview, candidates should not only pay attention to the examiner's questions, but also observe the examiner's face and color. According to the change of the subject's attitude, we can understand the subject's inner activities and his understanding and attitude towards himself, so as to know ourselves and know ourselves, respond in a targeted manner, and turn passivity into initiative. First of all, we should pay close attention to the facial expressions of the subjects. If the other person listens to your introduction, his eyebrows are raised and his eyes are wide open, it is a sign of surprise and surprise. It may show that you are their ideal candidate and have the feeling of knowing each other very late. At this time, you may be half successful, so you must persevere. If the other person frowns after hearing your introduction, it means that he is unhappy or helpless when he is in trouble. It may also mean that you are not the right person for them, so you can make further efforts in other ways. Second, pay close attention to the examiner's eyes. When the other person listens to your self-introduction, his eyes look straight ahead and no one is watching, then his eyes silently tell you that he is a proud person and a "great" person, so you should try your best to satisfy his self-esteem when you speak. If the other person's eyes don't stop blinking and his eyes tell you that he is expressing doubts and doubts, then you should try to explain the problem clearly. If the other person squints at you, it means that he is very happy, then your introduction may impress the other person and you may succeed if you continue. If the other person gives you a white look, it means that he is disgusted with you or what you said, so you should pay special attention. In short, as long as you observe carefully, you will grasp each other's inner world through the window of the soul-eyes, and strive for initiative. 2. Accurate, flexible and appropriate oral expression of language skills is the key link in the interview. If you have good conditions in all aspects, but you can't fully express what you want to express because of your poor expression ability, the examiner will not hire you because it is difficult to understand. Under the same conditions, whoever has strong expressive ability and is good at selling himself will win in the competition. Candidates should focus on mastering the language skills in the following conversations. (1) Be concise. The conversation in the interview is limited by time and content, which is different from the usual small talk. Never "chat" aimlessly. Conciseness is not entirely a question of the number of words, that is, it cannot be judged by the length of time. It contains the relationship between quantity and quality, that is, it conveys as much information as possible with the least words. Usually, we should pay attention to three questions: First, closely follow the questions and answers; Second, we must overcome repetitive language diseases; Third, we must quit the mantra. (2) Popular and simple. Easy to understand is the requirement for candidates' language style, that is, candidates' language should be easy to understand and not artificial. If the examinee's words are not popular and simple, the examiner may not understand, and he may not understand what you are saying, which will affect his understanding and evaluation of you. Therefore, candidates must pay attention to highlighting the characteristics of spoken English and strive to be catchy. When expressing language, we should first be popular and colloquial, use more popular words and avoid using elegant, sour or too written language, which is neither friendly nor easy to understand, and often backfires. Second, be unpretentious. If one-sided pursuit of novelty and splendor of language, excessive carving, will give people the suspicion of showing off, and will certainly produce a sense of disgust. Therefore, the language is natural, simple and vivid, expressing the true feelings. (3) Be good at using vivid images and humorous language. Vivid and humorous language helps to enhance the appeal of language, and make the conversation harmonious and active. In the interview conversation, candidates should pay attention to avoid using boring, boring and dull language, try to make their language vivid, vivid and interesting, give the examiner an appeal, and enhance their goodwill and trust in you. Answering and explaining each other's questions in humorous language can enliven the conversation atmosphere, eliminate embarrassment and shorten the distance between the two sides. When there is an embarrassing situation between the two sides in the interview, you can say a humorous word. A word that can make the other side laugh can dilute the unpleasant feelings of both sides and let the conversation continue in a friendly way. (4) Pay attention to the speed of conversation. The speed of conversation in an interview will affect the quality and effect of language expression, which is a problem that candidates can't ignore. In real life, you may speak quickly or slowly. But when interviewing, it's best to speak faster or slower. Generally speaking, the questions and answers in the interview are straightforward, such as introducing yourself and talking about the company's prospects. Therefore, there is no need to be impassioned and wave your arms. You don't have to intone like reciting a poem. Just speak at the speed you usually answer the teacher's questions. Speak clearly and pay attention to the interval between sentences, which makes people feel that you are clear-headed and calm. In addition, during the interview, we should also pay attention to the peace of tone, proper intonation and moderate volume. Tone refers to the tone of speech. Intonation refers to the tone of a sentence, that is, the combination of high and low pronunciation. Greetings and greetings should be in a rising tone, focused and long, so as to attract the attention of the other party. When introducing yourself, it is best to use a gentle statement tone, not an exclamation tone. Loud and boring, low and ugly. The volume depends on the interview location. When two people interview, the voice should not be too loud when they are very close, and the voice should not be too low when the venue is open for group interviews. The principle is that every recruiter can hear your speech clearly. 3. Question and answer skills Question and answer skills include answering skills and questioning skills. In the interview, we mainly evaluate the candidates by answering the examiner's questions, and at the same time, we should take the initiative to ask some questions to show the comprehensive quality of the candidates. (1) Answer skills 1) Say the argument first, then the argument. When answering questions, candidates should consider the structure of what they say and organize the speech order in the shortest time. Generally speaking, to answer a question, first put forward your basic views on the question, and then demonstrate and explain it one by one with materials. Doing so will not only help candidates organize their own materials, but also leave a good impression on examiners with clear thinking. This method can let the listener know the conclusion of the problem first and then listen to the reason. Otherwise, if you talk for a long time, the other party will think that your thinking is not clear, and then you are likely to lose an opportunity. 2) Develop strengths and avoid weaknesses, and show potential. As the saying goes, an inch is long and a foot is short. Everyone has his own advantages and disadvantages. How to give full play to one's advantages, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and show one's potential in a limited time is an art ... It is not cheating to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, but the embodiment of flexibility and camouflage skills. For example, introverts often give people the impression that they are more profound and less active. Therefore, introverts should dress brightly in the interview and speak positively, boldly and enthusiastically to make up for their lack of personality. For vocational school graduates, academic performance is a very important factor for interviewers. In general, poor academic performance will affect your interview results. However, if you talk about this problem from another angle, it is likely to make the examiner think that you have a lot of personality. For example, the examiner asks you, "How did you study at school? Why are the grades so poor? " ? You might as well answer: "I really can't accept the present textbook-based teaching method, and I can't concentrate on my study." I like computers, and I have got the second-class certificate at present, so I have made great efforts in this respect, which has affected my academic performance. I am really sorry. " Or: "I was a student union cadre at school and did a lot of social work." I am very enthusiastic about these jobs, so my studies have been delayed. " Such an answer may not only win the sympathy of the examiner, but may even make the examiner think that you have special skills, strong organizational skills and certain work experience, and have enthusiasm for social work, which increases the possibility of your admission. It can be seen that we should give full play to our strengths and cover up our shortcomings in the interview. 3) You can refuse to answer questions that are inconvenient to answer. Under normal circumstances, the examiner should not ask questions involving the privacy of candidates or other inconvenient questions during the interview. However, some examiners may ask some difficult questions to candidates because of the requirements of some special jobs or other reasons. For such a question, candidates who have had this experience are reluctant to answer. Even if you answer, you are often hesitant and vague, leaving a bad impression on the examiner. Instead of this, candidates should simply say, "Sorry, I don't want to answer this question for the time being. I'll talk to you alone after I go down. " (2) Questioning skills 1) The questions asked depend on the identity of the subject. Before the interview, you'd better find out the position of the examiner, and know whether the examiner is an ordinary staff member, a person in charge, and a person in charge at what level. Ask questions according to the examiner's position. Don't ask all questions indiscriminately, so that the examiner can't answer them, which makes the examiner dislike you. If you want to know the number, educational background and main business problems of the job-seeking unit, don't ask the general staff, ask the person in charge of the unit. 2) Questions that candidates can usually ask. Under normal circumstances, candidates can ask the examiner the following questions: 1. The nature of the unit, the higher authorities, the organization, the personnel structure, the time of establishment, the products and business conditions, etc. Second, the position, development prospect, professional cultural level and quality requirements of this unit in the same industry; Third, the employment mode, internal distribution system, management status, economic benefits and social benefits of the unit. 3) Pay attention to the time of asking questions. Different questions should be asked at different stages of the conversation. Some questions can be raised at the beginning of the conversation, some during the conversation, and some at the end of the conversation. Don't ask aimlessly, let alone ask several questions repeatedly. Therefore, before the conversation, you should list all the questions you want to ask, number them according to the conversation process, and read them several times, so that you can be clear-headed and know the order of asking questions during the conversation. 4) Pay attention to the way and tone of asking questions. Some questions can be directly raised locally, such as the personnel structure of your company and the post setting of your company. Some questions can't be put forward directly, but should be tactfully implied. If you know the income of the employees in the job-seeking unit and how much they will earn every month after they go, you can't ask directly. Instead, ask politely, "What are the rules and regulations for rewards and punishments in your organization?" "What kind of distribution system does your organization implement?" Wait a minute. Because these problems are clear, you may know how much you earn by comparing yourself. In addition, when you ask, you must pay attention to your tone, giving people a feeling of sincerity and humility. Never ask the other person questions in a questioning tone, which will cause disgust. 5) Don't ask ambiguous and specious questions. Especially when you ask questions related to your occupation and major, you must be exact, and don't pretend to understand and ask childish and ridiculous questions. Because we can see the questioner's knowledge level, way of thinking, personal values and so on. Because the object, time, place and purpose of the conversation are different, it is impossible to list the matters that should be paid attention to when asking questions. In short, candidates should pay attention to the study and application of questioning skills, which has a great impact on job hunting and cannot be sloppy. 4. Skills to get out of trouble When interviewing, candidates often get into trouble because of excessive tension, long silence or saying the wrong thing for a while. If you can't handle this situation calmly, it will affect your performance in the whole interview. So you should master the following skills in the interview: (1) Skills to overcome nervousness. Nervousness is the most common situation in an interview. Because the interview is very important for job seekers, and the interview is often in a strange place, it is normal for job seekers to feel nervous when talking to strangers. Moderate nervousness can help job seekers concentrate, but if you are too nervous, it will not only leave a bad impression on the examiner, but also make you unable to answer the questions normally and get into trouble in the interview. The skills of overcoming nervousness in an interview should follow the following principles: first, attend the interview with a calm mind, otherwise the greater the pressure, the more nervous it will be; Second, make full preparations before the interview, and don't take the gains and losses of an interview too seriously; Third, deep breathing is an effective way to reduce tension; Fourth, don't rush to answer the questioner's questions, and pay attention to the speed of speech when answering questions; Fifth, if you are really nervous, the best way is to tell the examiner frankly, "I'm sorry, I was a little nervous just now, let me calm down and answer your question." Usually the examiner sympathizes with you, and you feel much more comfortable and less nervous when you say it. (2) Skills to break the silence. Sometimes the examiner keeps silent for a long time, deliberately testing the candidates' reaction. In this case, many candidates will be at a loss and get into trouble because they are unprepared. Then the best way to deal with this situation is to prepare some suitable topics or questions in advance and take the opportunity to raise them. Or continue to talk according to the previous dialogue, break the deadlock and get out of the predicament. (3) Coping skills for saying the wrong thing. People are most likely to put their foot in their mouth when they are nervous. For example, when addressing others, you should put their positions and even their names on it. Inexperienced candidates often feel extremely remorseful, flustered and more nervous when they encounter this situation. The best way to deal with it is to keep calm. If you are wrong, it doesn't matter, and you haven't offended anyone, you can continue the interview and talk as if nothing has happened. Don't regret it. Usually, the examiner will not let the right person go because of a small mistake of the job seeker. If the wrong thing is serious, you should correct your apology at the right time in order to prevent misunderstanding. For example, "I'm sorry, I was a little nervous just now. I seem to have made a mistake. I mean ... please forgive me. " After making a mistake, frankly correcting your own mistakes may win the favor of the examiner.
