面试中会发生什么
虽然每次面试都会有所不同, all will share three common characteristics: the beginning, 中间, 和结论.
The typical interview will last 30 minutes, although some may be longer. 典型的结构如下:
- 五分钟——闲聊
- Fifteen minutes--a mutual discussion of your background and credentials as they relate to the needs of the employer
- 五分钟,问你问题
- 五分钟——面试结束
As you can see, there is not a lot of time to state your case. 雇主可能会试图做大部分的谈话. When you do respond to questions or ask your own, your statements should be concise and organized without being too brief.
甚至在你打招呼之前就开始了
The typical interview starts before you even get into the inner sanctum. The recruiter begins to evaluate you the minute you are identified. You are expected to shake the recruiter's hand upon being introduced. 不要害怕先伸出手. 这表现出自信. It's a good idea to arrive at least 15 minutes early. 你可以利用这段时间放松一下. 以后会更容易. It may mean counting to ten slowly or wiping your hands on a handkerchief to keep them dry.
你的闲聊词汇量如何?
Many recruiters will begin the interview with some small talk. Topics may range from the weather to sports and will rarely focus on anything that brings out your skills. 尽管如此,你仍在接受评估. Recruiters are trained to evaluate candidates on many different points. They may be judging how well you communicate on an informal basis. 这意味着你要做的不仅仅是微笑和点头.
招聘人员有发言权
The main part of the interview starts when the recruiter begins discussing the organization. If the recruiter uses vague generalities about the position and you want more specific information, 问问题. Be sure you have a clear understanding of the job and the company. As the interview turns to talk about your qualifications, be prepared to deal with aspects of your background that could be construed as negative, i.e., low-grade point average, no participation in outside activities, no related work experience. It is up to you to convince the recruiter that although these points appear negative, 积极的属性可以在他们身上找到. A low GPA could stem from having to fully support yourself through college; you might have no related work experience, but plenty of experience that shows you to be a loyal and valued employee. Many times recruiters will ask why you chose the major you did or what your career goals are. These questions are designed to determine your goal direction. Employers seek people who have direction and motivation. This can be demonstrated by your answers to these innocent-sounding questions.
轮到你提问了
When the recruiter asks, "Now do you have any questions?“重要的是要准备好一些. Dr. C. 兰德尔·鲍威尔, 《威尼斯人博彩》的作者, suggests some excellent strategies for dealing with this issue. He says questions should elicit positive responses from the employer. Also, the questions should bring out your interest in and knowledge of the organization. 通过询问聪明的人, 深思熟虑的问题, you show the employer you are serious about the organization and need more information. It also indicates to the recruiter that you have done your homework.
距离也很重要
The interview isn't over until you walk out the door. The conclusion of the interview usually lasts five minutes and is very important. During this time the recruiter is assessing your overall performance. It is important to remain enthusiastic and courteous. Often the conclusion of the interview is indicated when the recruiter stands up. However, if you feel the interview has reached its conclusion, feel free to stand up first. Shake the recruiter's hand and thank him or her for considering you. Being forthright is a quality that most employers will respect, indicating that you feel you have presented your case and the decision is now up to the employer.
期待意外
During the interview, you may be asked some unusual questions. 不要太惊讶. Many times questions are asked simply to see how you react. 例如, 出人意料的问题可以从, "Tell me a joke" to "What time period would you like to have lived in?" These are not the kind of questions for which you can prepare in advance. Your reaction time and the response you give will be evaluated by the employer, but there's no way to anticipate questions like these. 虽然这些问题并不总是被使用, they are intended to force you to react under some stress and pressure. The best advice is to think and give a natural response.
招聘人员的评估
The employer will be observing and evaluating you during the interview. Erwin年代. 斯坦顿, the author of Successful Personnel Recruiting and Selection, indicates some evaluations made by the employer during the interview include:
