Preface, I have been in dachang for many years and would like to talk about the interview with you. I have participated in many school recruitment interviews for several years, and there are numerous interviews for social recruitment. In the Q2 recruitment season that just ended, I read 6K+ resumes, and only a few suitable candidates were recruited. Resumes are really about everything, and there’s a world of difference between the good ones and the bad ones.

Important disclaimer: this article is only a summary of personal experience and does not represent the company’s position. Cover image source network, delete.

It will talk about some interesting interview experiences and what we should do to perform better. Let’s look at what you should do as an interviewer.

Your attitude as an interviewer

To be punctual

Candidates are usually not late, most of them will wait at the front desk half an hour in advance, if there is no urgent matter, can meet the candidate, ready to begin the interview. Don’t be late. If you are really stuck with something urgent, you should inform the candidate in advance about the waiting time. If you are sure that you cannot interview, you should at least have a backup interviewer who can follow up immediately. Everyone’s time is important, so don’t make candidates wait too long.

To be humble

Most candidates will be nervous at the beginning of the interview. When they don’t know how to answer questions, they will panic and speak faster, which will affect the smooth communication. At this point, you should tell the candidates, don’t be nervous, we take our time, the interview is a process of getting to know each other, if you don’t understand, feel free to ask questions, you can interrupt at any time, it’s ok. Get the candidate relaxed and into the interview as soon as possible.

During the interview, be gracious and humble, understand that the interview is about learning from each other, learning about the business, learning more solutions to problems, and not being condescending and pointing at the candidate.

Heuristic questions, guided exposition

It is normal for a candidate to not answer all the questions. He may not understand them thoroughly. He may not know where to start. This is the time to guide him, inspire him, give him some simple tips to get the candidate thinking, and get his CPU revveing.

Interview, for a business scenario, a medical questions, found that those who hide behind your resume has not been mentioned, of course, may also be candidates don’t want to speak, for example, the candidate is not familiar with the business, as their performance, this time to deep mining scheme, might well TA.

360° potential mining

See the best in candidates, believe that everyone has their own strengths, and give yourself multiple opportunities to prove yourself.

This is similar to team management. We can see the advantages of each student, and each student has his or her own position.

For example, some candidates are very specialized in business, good at and love solving business problems and realizing complex type interaction, but they do not like tool product development and are not good at the design and organization of basic components. Some students have a solid professional foundation and do not like to spend time on business construction. They are more interested in building open source libraries, component libraries, tools and engineering. Some students are ordinary, do not have too many requirements, then according to need distribution. In short, look for value in the candidate. Furthermore, as a team manager, when recruiting candidates, we should also examine their soft qualities, communication ability, learning ability, problem solving ability, ability to work under pressure, potential, sustainable cultivation, matching with the team style, passion for technology, attitude towards products and so on.

Those interview questions you read on the Internet may not be of much use.

I like more open questions, like situational questions, how to solve a problem based on a certain situation.

For the business solution mentioned by the candidate, do you have any optimization measures? Do you have any other feasible solutions? How to deal with similar problems?

The attitude a candidate should have

To be punctual

Do not be late, even if it will not affect the normal interview, but I still want to leave a good impression, if something happens, be sure to contact HR in advance, explain the reason, and then make an appointment for the next time. Arriving 15 minutes or so early is usually the right amount of time to give the interviewer time to prepare and give yourself some breathing room, such as a bathroom break.

Day arch a pawn, work does not donate tang.

I have met a lot of candidates, when the interview, reply that they need to prepare for a period of time, a week to a month, IN fact, I have been particularly curious about what they are preparing for, so long preparation is really useful? Brush leetcode? Brush frame principle? Brush interview questions? Maybe so.

BUT the basic knowledge of learning lies in daily accumulation, overnight efforts to achieve what you are now, not in the last minute.

Can master a lot of knowledge in a short time, can show that learning ability is good. But why don’t you work hard at work? Summarize more, think more, share more, teach others, consolidate their own achievements.

Soft qualities that cannot be ignored

Relax. An interview is a conversation. Only in a calm mood can we better take out our real strength and have a smooth communication effect. Sometimes people are unnaturally nervous. Try deep breathing. It helps. The resume can be dug out in advance of the point are the first to ask themselves to answer, will be, will not be, do not need to lie, familiar don’t write proficient, understand don’t say they are very good at, seek truth from facts.

When the interview also has be agitated, how to solve?

Of course, still want to let oneself be patient, have perseverance. It must be hard to find a job. You may have had many interviews and met many interviewers, but it is the first time for the interviewer to meet you, so be patient and find the right position for you.

Now, a lot of candidates like one or two video interviews. B: Yes, very convenient indeed. Less running, easy, Internet video will do. It can also get rid of personal nervousness. Sometimes, it can answer the interviewer’s questions on several screens at the same time, watch the news, play with the mobile phone, send wechat messages, and even rank in the rankings. While looking for answers. Of course, most candidates are sincere. Instead of looking through their lenses and seeing them searching for publish and subscription models, or seeing the flickering reflections of the screen, you’ll see genuine eyes talking to you. The signal is not good, dropped line and so on also happened, the noise chaotic sound also unavoidably exists, values in the real.

However, I prefer face-to-face communication. Except if you’re not in Beijing, which is acceptable, it’s particularly recommended that candidates visit the company where you might be working, get to know the environment, see how people work, run around to see if it’s easy to get to work, get some exercise, and get a taste of different kinds of life. Most importantly, the way of communication is better, communication is barrier-free, bring your resume, take a pen and draft paper, when it comes to the wonderful place must start to write and draw, how beautiful.

Let the interviewer see your best qualities

Be sure to release your skill points in your communication, so you don’t have to do anything big.

I’ve met a lot of candidates, and during the interview, the interviewer takes the initiative to dig, you don’t ask, and the candidate never opens his mouth. Like the dog who speaks first, remember, don’t freeze. The interview, the interviewer want candidates have some attractive places, such as the love of learning, willing to study, to enthusiasm, persistence of 1 px, like to solve problems, love for tools, new technology of super sensitive, beginning ability is strong, have open source projects, like, preference for business, good at solving business problems, Like the need to change the theme of the phone according to the color of the phone case, CSS fans are proactive, responsible for what is particularly reliable, willing to communicate, able to coordinate and solve difficult problems, solve cross-team matters and so on.

pluses

There are some pluses, such as frequent blogging and possibly a large number of followers; Participate in the construction of open source projects, have their own open source projects, or often submit code to some projects, like to write papers, seminars, have some invention patents, won awards, attend industry conferences, like reading and so on.

Talking about money never hurts

They say money is an asshole, but it looks good.

It varies from person to person, but there are many explanations. The measure of self-valuation, looking at the future and looking at personal choices.

About learning

The most common question asked by candidates is about how to learn besides the project they have participated in after entering the job. Most likely, they will write a separate article (dig a hole for themselves), and each candidate has his or her own suitable method.

Finally, a weird experience

I once had such a strange second interview. The candidate arrived about 20 minutes early, but there was an extra meeting at noon that day. I had informed HR in advance that the interview might be postponed for about 10 minutes so that the candidate could take a rest on the sofa. After the meeting, I rushed over to find the candidate, just want to explain why the delay, the candidate preemptively, “if I often have a meeting at noon, I can not accept it”… … What did he mean, I whispered to myself? Literally?? Or what??) “I quickly apologized and explained,” We don’t have meetings at noon every day. We usually have urgent things to pull together. We also need a lunch break.

After I sat down, I told the whole interview process, and I could ask questions and interrupt at any time if I didn’t understand. I also gave an explanation for my lateness. And I said,

“I haven’t read the resume very carefully, I need about 3 minutes, I will give you a basic question, you write”.

“Shouldn’t you look at your resume in advance?”

“Yes, yes, because yesterday I only looked at the general, today I have a meeting, I haven’t looked at it carefully, I need to look at it more carefully.”

“Well, you set the questions. I’ve been working for so many years, and I need a written test.”

“You, with a master’s degree, have only been working for a year. This is not a written test, it’s a basic point, okay? Do you?”

“Ok”

“To list the common apis for arrays, such as push, one per line. Write as many as you can. Close to 30. Write at least 20.”

“Isn’t that a college interview question? You want me to answer school exams? You don’t respect me!”

“？？？？？？？ I ？？？？” “, “I do not disrespect you, this is the basic question, I will ask the interview, no matter how senior students, I will also take a test.”

“I don’t think you respect me. Shouldn’t you be asking me about principles?”

“No disrespect. There’s a process to the interview.”

…

The argument lasted roughly three minutes

…

I said, “Well, you can assume THAT I’m a bad interviewer. Let’s answer first and then jump to conclusions. See how much you can write? Accept?”

Pick up your pen and start.

Sort include find forEach map findIndex findLastIndex split splice some every fillCopy the code

Twelve of them, nine of them correct.

Include --> includes findLastIndex does not exist include --> includes findLastIndex does not exist include --> includes findLastIndex does not exist include --> includes findLastIndex does not exist include --> Includes findLastIndex does not existCopy the code

The candidate suddenly became a lot kinder (as if he wasn’t that strong), but still said he used so much, and not much else.

“Not often? So how do you filter, how do you remove and add elements to the header, slice? concat? flat? reduce? reverse? These?”

“Flat doesn’t have to be an array. I can do it by hand.”

“What does the optional parameter of flat mean?”

“What parameters? I don’t know.”

“Why don’t you write a flat?”

Three awkward minutes

I looked at the time, 20 minutes have passed, there are still some questions left to investigate. “How about this one? Let’s get started, talk about your latest project.”

…

Too many details will not be disclosed, such as business solutions, React high-order components, custom components and so on

…

At the end of the interview, I asked him, “Now, what do you think of the topic?”

“Good. I’m happy with the title.”

“How about the interview? It’s a process of mutual selection. How could I disrespect you?

“I’m fine. I’m just rushing.”

“That’s all right. Let’s stop here today.” He got up and escorted him out.

“Aren’t there three sides?”

“Our leader asked for leave today, and we will arrange for you later.” This is a true leave.

In line with the responsibilities of the interviewer, respect every candidate, or patiently finish the interview, that is to eat two bowls of rice that night.

The above is a summary of the recent interview work. I often chat for 1-2 hours with suitable candidates, and I really want to see you off in minutes if I am not happy. The interview is a wall, and I hope every candidate can easily climb over the wall and see the scenery outside the wall.
