preface
Recently is the job-hopping season, found that some partners in some non-technical soft questions are not very good answers.
As we all know, programmers are low in emotional intelligence, and these soft problems, just have a certain deceptive and exaggerating elements in the inside, for the acting of bad straight male cancer, it is a natural bane.
Don’t worry too much. There are only a few soft questions, and with a little training and preparation, you can become a famous high-end ape.
The title
Question 1: Tell me about your own weakness
Acting test: 4 stars
This topic is everywhere hidden kill chicken, a lot of small partners will confide in, honest will own all shortcomings say out, for example: “I have a bad temper”, “I learn things slow”, “I am greedy for money. Color “.
This kind of shortcoming, everyone has, but need not say.
Many friends say, “I will be a real man. Do you like it or not?” Those people out there are all phony and sexy, and I’m gonna be who I am.
In fact, this is not the true self, it is low emotional intelligence. Don’t know how to play the game, don’t know how to say the right thing in a particular situation.
So, how do you say a weakness, but it’s not exactly a weakness, but it’s a weakness that makes people think it’s a strength
Here’s what you should do:
Sigh, smile, tilt your head 45 degrees to look at the ground, and say: OCCASIONALLY, BECAUSE I specialize in technical problems, I stay up late at night, and make myself very tired. In the future, I will pay more attention to the balance between technical study and work.
Here are a few details to note
- “Tilt your head 45 degrees and look at the ground” behaviorically suggests that you are unassuming, modest and easy to get along with.
- Answer many times to use “do”, “get”, “tired” and other verbs, let a person feel you are not artificial, grounded gas.
- When I say that my weakness is because I love to study too much, it is like saying that my weakness is because I am too rich, which is not a weakness at all, but a strength, just another way of saying, directly to the sun dragon
This is the legendary counterset, programmer and interviewer between the high-end game, the top pull

Question 2: What do you think of working overtime?
Acting test: 3 stars
This question is really fried chicken easy to ask. First of all, no one likes to work overtime, but if there are “agile development” and “views on overtime”, most of them are companies that work overtime frequently.
I think as long as it is not a few famous black factories in the industry, normal overtime, are acceptable
I have worked in Dafang for 8 years. Here are some reasons for my overtime work:
- Don’t love thinking
- Ability not
- Fun good. Color
- poor
- The fifth cannot say, understand all understand
In the past 8 years, my attitude towards overtime has changed from resistance in the early stage to patience in the middle stage and now to initiative. I find that the more you don’t want to work overtime, the more overtime comes to you. It is better to take the initiative to attack, learn technology and think about the optimization of work.
Take repetitive tasks and replace them with engineering and automated tools. Over time, you’ll find that your work will be more productive and less passive, and you’ll feel a lot better than having your head held down and you’re forced to work overtime.
Lu Xun once said: “work is like a strong J, rather than resist, it is better to close your eyes and enjoy”, very sad, but also the way of survival of middle-aged diaosi
So, there is a good answer to this question: IF my work requires me, I will be duty-bound to work overtime. But at the same time, I will also think about the optimization points in work, and develop some engineering and automation tools to replace repetitive work, so as to improve work efficiency and reduce unnecessary overtime

Question 3: Why did you leave your last job
Acting test: 2 stars
There are a few caveats when it comes to explaining why you’re leaving:
- Can’t say you broke up with the family leader
- You can’t say you were fired
- I can’t say my last company failed, so I switched jobs
Don’t say anything bad about your previous company or your leader.
The right way to act is to show the interviewer how grateful you are no matter what your previous employer did to you. There was something irresistible that caused you to leave
There is a general answer: the platform of my last company has become stable, so I want to broaden my horizon on a bigger platform, better show my strength, and create greater value
Have seen a few more funny answer: “my wife is going to give birth, want to go to a company that can get off work on time”, “I am brokenhearted, want to go to a place to start again”, hee hee, but old iron or don’t so answer

Question 4: face HR and interviewer difficult, how to deal with
Acting test: 5 stars
This is a real situation I met. In my second company (a famous big factory) in my career, I was given a hard time by hr at that time
She was very proud and contemptuous, and said a few words that impressed me
- Your background is very modest. Your last company was a small one. We usually only want candidates with experience in big factories
- We both recruit 985 graduate students, your comprehensive quality is not as good as I imagined
- The few projects you have on your resume are so generic that they don’t have any name recognition. What makes you think we’ll hire you?
After the interview, I was actually very angry and thought that hr had a bad personality, but I held back from beginning to end.
And here’s the weird part… I got the offer, I got the salary I wanted, I got the rank I wanted…
Asked her a long time later why do you interview candidates this way
What she said, to the effect of this, is, “Hr is trying to make you feel like you don’t deserve us, make you feel like you don’t deserve us, increase your chances of getting an offer, and increase your bargaining power in future salary negotiations.”
This is definitely a psychological manipulation of human nature…
Second, and especially important, “To test your emotional intelligence, don’t have candidates who flare up, retort, or lose their temper at the slightest provocation. The person who can stand it through the whole process and remain confident without being overbearing, demonstrates your ability to work under pressure and ensures that you will be able to handle all kinds of working relationships and extreme situations in the future.”
Her answer was enlightening to me. Maybe it was because I had coded too much. I never thought that human nature could be measured and verified just like code
Since then, I have recognized the hr professionalism of Dafang
Of course, this kind of spite may also be the early bud of PUA.
So how should a candidate behave and respond when he or she is being heckled during the interview?
You can think about it for yourself
I’ve put the answer up on Github and will post it later, but if you have a better idea, you can also drop me a comment: # 1 tadpole
conclusion
The above four questions reveal some of the tricks and countertricks of the interview process, showing off the skills of hooking up and acting, which many people may find hypocritical
Here is another famous quote from Lu Xun: “When turbidity becomes a normal state, innocence will also be a crime.”
Hypocritical people, sometimes is a kind of self-protection.
Maybe it’s not hypocrisy, but a way to survive, because if you don’t do it, you’ll be screwed by the people who do.
I hope that the above questions and corresponding answers will trigger some thinking, summarize themselves and improve themselves. Not just in interviews, but at work as well.
Due to space constraints, the answers to several more soft questions will be published in the next issue:
- 1. In the workplace, if your technical solution is not compatible with your colleagues, how will you handle it?
- 2. What will you do if your plan is at odds with your boss?
- 3. Where do you see yourself in five years
- 4. What do you think of powerpoint culture
- 5. What value can you bring to us
