It doesn’t matter how much you read about interviews
Online many interview experience, interview success or failure experience, as well as the factory interview questions sorted, we all enjoy it.
I’m telling you, for 99% of you, reading too much about college interview tips doesn’t matter.
A lot of small units, as long as a little bit normal, professional counterpart, is an individual, these online interview routines you see or don’t see the difference is not big; And the factory like BAJT, even if you squeeze the broken head is not into, if you can go in, and the so-called interview skills are not big, but you are hard enough, the role of the so-called interview skills is like the princess head with a feather, icing on the cake.
Many schools recruit fresh graduates, look at the recruitment requirements of these big companies, found that hemp duck, I all meet, it is tailor-made for me. It’s like Yang went beyond the criteria of looking good and doing housework. Excuse me, is it made for you?
Internet factory school recruit that is like Yang Chaoyue looking for a boyfriend, high salary, good welfare, such as development positions, annual salary can not be less than 200,000, but thousands of troops and horses through a single log bridge, how many people fight, how many people rob, so many applicants, may eventually recruit 1~2 fresh students, obviously the vast majority of people are cannon fodder.
I don’t have to say hundreds of resumes this year, which people are likely to read the text, which people are absolutely not, when you look at the resume, you know. But, by the resume is people will see deluding themselves, therefore, always a bit of hope, will give a written interview, but, you don’t think the interview opportunity to feet across in half, say not good, many are walking a form, the last big probability or that a few good resume screening vitality is fit to read the article.
If you really want to win the favor of the interviewer in the interview, I think it is more crucial to look outside, rather than the surface skills or grasp this month to learn some knowledge to deal with the interview.
The key is to look outside
University though is a small society, but not for society, you are in this small circle, three point one line, every day will greatly limited vision and knowledge, the key is you fully aware of their own limited, when the interview, you said those words, what you think is important, is often not the interviewer CARES, speak with a popular saying is who CARES, s.
Take my sister for example, she said that she has high emotional intelligence and is suitable for management, because she is good at leading people to play games in college. From her personal point of view, the logic is completely reasonable. After all, in school, people in charge of people are either associations or groups, or they form a game team by themselves. In such a small circle with limited horizon of school, it is natural to think that management is just like this.
However, if I have ever worked in an excellent team and watched the daily work of the team leader, I will know that it is very difficult and laborious to manage a team. I am not only responsible for project management and resource coordination, but also always pay attention to the psychology of employees, connecting the previous and the next, which brings great pressure. I think my sister will have a more accurate idea of whether she is suitable for management. Once this is accurate, your interview language will become more appropriate.
I said to HR in the interview, “I think I am fit for management, because I am quite good at leading people to play games by myself in college.” HR’s heart is either secretly laughing, childlike innocence; Or show some sympathy and take a point off the scale.
If my sister had interned with a good team, I think her expression would have been different: “I can devote 120% of my enthusiasm to something I am interested in and do it well. For example, I am good at leading people to play games by opening a group in college.” If the interview happens to be a game company, get, not only will not reduce the score, now even extra points, do you agree?
Your answers really have nothing to do with what you have learned about college interviews. You know that in that place, the strengths you are trying to show through your language skills will reveal your weaknesses, just like in a fog, and the direction you are pushing may be facing a cliff.
To develop students example, many candidates in school, very hard, also very hard, do a lot of projects, all kinds of difficulties by searching research one by one to overcome all kinds of data, there are certain technical accumulation, according to the truth, in terms of the technology itself, still have certain advantages, but the trouble is that are inside the school to do these things, I have not been to a company in the society, even if it is a small entrepreneurial team, so I am not aware of my own problems and limitations, and do not know what is more important to the company.
Business relationship because of the company, before I had the opportunity to do some students front-end development, six students, one of them the code looks very professional, naming conventions, the indentation is reasonable, in line with the industry standard, annotation in detail, and the other 5 people, completely is the way I was a student to write the code, like apply is on the wall of sludge, very wild. Ask, the original code looks professional students went to the outside internship, although it is an outsourcing company. If it is an online written test, the student with the standard code, even if the answer is mediocre, trust me, there will be an interview.
Of course, going out and looking at it, it’s not just about the code, it’s about how many people work together on a project, on a product; He can show you that implementing a feature like a shared bike is not worth mentioning, but the extensibility, fault tolerance, and readability behind the important features are what distinguish the developer level; It can also make you realize that a skill you thought you were good at is, in fact, not even familiar with.
These perceptions are really important, much more important than your skills, because otherwise, those confident, well, I don’t know, interview responses are actually pretty good.
A: “I’m a quick learner. Vue.js took me three days to learn.”
Answer: “you that website home page, have no what difficult point, I 1 day can get out, really, I can assure!”
A: “I did it with my classmates, but they weren’t good at it, so I did it by myself, and it took me two days!”
Q: “Is there anything about this project that you think was amazing?” A: “I took the initiative to add a picture rotation effect to the home page of this project.” Q: “Is it written by native code?” A: “No, jQuery plug-in!”
Don’t work for work’s sake
It’s normal for most new graduates to be frustrated in interviews with good companies, and many may not even get an interview.
A lot of people’s mentality began to change, have a random give me a job I will do the mentality. Some science and engineering to do sales, law to do assistant, desperate feeling.
It is true that the threshold of many positions is not high, as long as you are a bachelor’s degree, it is necessary for individuals. Nowadays in China, it is very easy to have a job. However, we must not be so casual, in the final analysis, because we stay in the school that small circle, vision is limited, did not go out to see.
You said you wanted to work in front-end development, but school was mediocre. You played games in college for a few years, and then you started learning in the summer of your junior year, and then you started looking for a good job in your senior year. Let me put it this way, you can’t get into the top companies through school recruitment, no matter how many rounds you get in, it’s like the welfare lottery. And usually go to each big university school recruit is rich company, because the school recruit human cost that but very high, general small company can not afford to play. So, the school recruit you frustrated is normal, but, do not think that graduation can not find a job, parents raised white, first look for a job, but the mistake of their own career.
This whole China, the Internet company, or the traditional enterprise has the Internet business how many, as long as you are not high price, a lot of front-end development work opportunities, to the outside heart to find (do not be cheated by some institutions, all want you to pay money is a liar). Before abandoned, now, from a small place to learn slowly, slowly grow, completely in time. It’s a 40-year career. There’s nothing wrong with a slow start.
In a word, be sure to go outside to broaden your horizon, those who have not gone to the outside internship must go outside to see. Keep in front of the school computer to check what the strategy, useless; Don’t feel sorry for yourself and doubt life because of a few setbacks.
Get out, get out of the well, don’t be afraid, be proactive, the sky is high, the sea is wide, once you broaden your horizons, you’ll know what to do and how to do it!
