preface

In the autumn of 2018, the autumn recruitment season of golden Nine and Silver ten was 🍁, and I was honored to join the job-hopping army πŸ™ƒ. Although the recruitment boom was not as crazy as at the beginning of each year, it was still obvious that many companies were looking for a large number of talents. Different from previous job-hopping, THIS time I mainly looked for interview opportunities through headhunting. Because in the last job tasted a little sweetness from headhunter there, that is to help you to pay 😏.

But also have the place with bad, I put my resume after the open recruitment platforms such as cooperated, call me every day there are countless headhunting recommended positions, and each search all want to add to your WeChat, possible problem is that they give you recommend a company positions are not necessarily do you like, also is not necessarily suitable for you, Some companies show up for an interview only to find out you don’t like it, wasting both parties’ time.

So recent face a lot of house, big, in the factory, small factory, entrepreneurship, seen all kinds of the interviewer, also asked all sorts of interview questions, also received several offers, but their satisfaction, looking back on recent experiences, want to do a summary, can be used to summarize the interview some of the routines, and may run into some routines.

The body of the

I’ve divided the whole interview into three stages: before, during, and after, and each stage has its own routine.

I think of and encounter a limited routine, will be updated later, so the “road” is not very long for the moment…

Words not most, get on 🚌…

Before the interview

1. Resume preparation

A good resume is the premise of getting more interview opportunities. I am not an expert on how to write a high-quality resume and resume optimization, so here is my summary.

An important part of your resume

  1. The skills you currently have, and whether each skill point is known, familiar, proficient, or proficient.
  2. Project experience, including project description, your role responsibilities, use of technology, performance gains, etc.
  3. If you’re in the habit of blogging, adding your blog address is a great plus.

Resumes don’t add too much nonsense, concise, highlight skills especially emphasizes, this allows the HR screening resume attracted to, don’t add too much length pages, had better not more than three pages, because a lot of the interviewer during the interview when you advance does not have read your resume, simple directly express your skills and experience enables the interviewer to quickly get to know you.

Format and typography

  1. The best format is PDF, more stable.
  2. As for style problem such as layout, I think it’s not too important, because headhunters to recommend your resume will write your resume content into their recommendation report, so the format is the executive search firm format, I am used to from the retractor edit your resume online, and then export the PDF, because several contrast recruitment platform online resume, It seems that the style of the hook is better.

Do you need to write multiple resumes

If you have a desired company and know the skills in demand, you can optimize your skill tree in order to improve your resume approval rate. However, if you use headhunting to find interview opportunities, I feel there is no need to do so. The reasons are as follows:

  1. The headhunter will select high-quality candidates on the platform according to the recruitment needs of enterprises. If the headhunter calls you, it means that you meet the current employment standards of enterprises, and the degree of fit has been established.
  2. In reality, there will be a lot of headhunters calling. If there are a lot of companies to meet with, preparing a targeted resume is a time-consuming task. Why not prepare interview questions when you are free?

Don’t dig holes in your resume

The interviewer will ask for the skills listed in your resume, so use the right words to express them.

2. Communication with headhunters

Screen the right companies

There are a few questions you should ask yourself before publishing your resume, including the requirements or orientation of the company’s industry, the requirements or orientation of the company’s size, the range of positions you are considering, the salary expectations, and the orientation of the technology stack.

The answers to these questions can be used by recruiters to screen you for jobs and will be included in their recommendations, so be forthcoming.

Say no to companies you don’t like

When recommend headhunting to your position and the company do not interest you, and all aspects can understand company in many ways to go, can not meet the needs of your job expectations will be pass, headhunters may say better to try, as experience, yes, I tried this several times, but in the end or not interested, waste the time on both sides.

So, learn to say no…

About the surface

After the company approves your resume, the headhunter will confirm an interview with you.

Β§ Routine 1: the company you want to work for a little bit later, others in the front can be used as a summary of experience.

3. Post-date preparation

  1. Carefully study the JD of the post, analyze the skill demand points of the post, compare your own skill points and the skills emphasized in JD, and comprehensively familiarize yourself with them in advance.
  2. Understand the interview process. Is there a test? How many rounds of interviews? Will the result be finalized on the same day?

If there are written questions, it is best to check the written questions bank in advance. The written questions focus on the basics and the comprehensivity of the skills. It is very important to ask the headhunter how many rounds of interviews there are in the end. Generally, there will be three to four rounds of technical interviews for first-line large factories. If you have a good conversation, the whole process will take a long time.

Β§ Routine two: if it is a big factory interview, it is best not to make an appointment in the morning, the most appropriate time: 2 PM.

Reason:

Three to four rounds of interview if all goes well, may face to the three sides will have more than two hours, and most Internet companies to work time is about ten o ‘clock, at the earliest only about ten o ‘clock in the morning, may encounter is that second interview is over, the results on three sides technology officer for dinner, then you can go back and notice again, feel very uncomfortable? Well, yes. I ran into πŸ˜’.

So afternoon begins interview at 2 o ‘clock, chat to all sides also about 5 o ‘clock or so, smooth word, still can chat HR that day.

§ Routine 3: If you know that the interview process is determined at one time, choose a time close to dinner 😏.

Reason:

Chat for a while to the meal point, at this time the interviewer may be hungry, the spirit is not too focused, maybe early decision πŸ˜‚, this routine with psychological factors, reference can, not completely applicable.

In the interview

1. Introduce yourself

Simply describe your company’s experience and projects. Highlight technical points used in the project, your responsibilities, and your achievements. Direct the interviewer to ask about your skills.

Don’t dig a hole for yourself

For example: The interviewer asks you to sort an array out of order, and you say that you can quickly do that using array sort, passing in a random number in the comparison function,

function arrRandom(arr) {
    arr.sort(function () {
        returnMath.random()})}Copy the code

“Is there any other implementation?”

“Yes, you can use a for loop, but with math.random (), and the time and space complexity may be slightly different.”

“Hey, you heard the concept of time complexity, so you know something about algorithms. Come on, tell me more about it.”

.

πŸ˜“ in fact, I really just understand the algorithm ah.

This is just to say, don’t bring up any unfamiliar skills that the interviewer may follow up with.

3. Reduce awkward silences

Once you know the question, think of it quickly. If you can’t think of anything else, change your answer or answer a similar skill point. Otherwise have not thought to come out all the time, silent along while, can not only cause atmosphere embarrassment, still can increase your tension, behind the brain is not good to make.

Analyze what the interviewer is trying to say

“Yeah, yeah, maybe…”

— Identification security πŸ˜€

Short silences and no evaluation of your answers.

— May disappoint him 😟

Now insert a summary of a set of routines:

Formula one:

  1. “Today’s interview or stop here, we will inform you of the follow-up process, thank you…”

  2. “I probably understand your situation, I want to report with our boss, after discussion, the follow-up interview will inform you…”

    This is a classic reject your language template!! πŸ™ƒ πŸ™ƒ πŸ™ƒ

    The briefings are true, they always compare candidates, but the follow-up briefings may not be true.

Pattern 2:

“Thank you for coming in today…”

After the interview, even if you felt like you had a pleasant and lengthy conversation with the interviewer, pay attention to this as he sees you off at the end of the interview. It could be a euphemistic way of saying sorry.

Pattern 3:

“Our 2 face technology officer seems not to be in, otherwise you go back to wait for notice first…”

It could be true, it could be a statement…

Pattern 4:

“Is there anything you want to ask me?”

Look at your watch. Half an hour?

If the interview lasts less than half an hour,…. Basically cool, don’t want to know more.

Pattern 5:

The interviewer asks you to hold on for a second or third interview, and then hr comes back and tells you to go back and wait for an announcement.

That’s all. Think of it as cool.

According to the above analysis results, if you perform well but fail to enter the second or third interview, don’t hold your hopes up. If you are invited to interview again later, it is better to be surprised than disappointed.

5. Frequently asked questions for the second or third interview

  1. What is your career plan for the next one to three years?
  2. How do you learn and pay attention to new technology?
  3. What have you learned or summarized from your work in recent years?
  4. What do you think are your strengths and weaknesses in your job?
  5. What are your advantages when you come to our company?
  6. You have blocks of code that you think you’ve written well, share them.
  7. Are there any open source projects?
  8. Have you written NPM packages? Have you written webpack plug-ins?
  9. What framework or library source have you seen? What have you learned?

.

This kind of question is open question, there is no standard answer, think well again, otherwise it is possible to dig a hole for yourself.

After the interview

1. Take notes of interview questions and write down the exam

The questions encountered in the interview, are recorded, review and summarize the technical points of each question, these questions will be encountered in the follow-up interview, moreover, the questions asked in the interview are often encountered in the development, if you do not answer well, he may think that you have not encountered or lack of experience, this is a big pit.

2. Review your performance and find areas to improve

Put yourself in the other’s shoes. If you are the interviewer, evaluate your answers, language, and logic.

3. Follow up the interview progress with the headhunter

The headhunter in charge will follow up your interview progress. After the interview, you can tell them your experience and results, so that they can get the feedback of the interviewer and follow up the follow-up process in the first time.

Speaking of headhunting, I’d like to make a joke.

4. Tease the headhunter

Received a lot of position to recommend, were also a lot of headhunter WeChat, just said to the responsible recruiter before your interview to you for a simple tutorial, interview follow up progress, each stage ready to remind you of the follow-up process, regardless of the outcome, after the interview will also give you a feedback to the results, even if failed, also want to technology officer Suggestions and feedback to you. In contrast, there are some headhunters who I think are not very responsible. After the interview, they didn’t ask you how you were doing and didn’t inform you of the follow-up result. Even after you asked him, they didn’t reply to you for a long time.

However, it’s an uncomfortable feeling. It feels like the current candidate doesn’t get the job, so move on to the next candidate and forget about that…

When I meet this kind of headhunter, I always delete friends 😢
