Chapter 39 Chapter6 Ways of Peaceful Coexistence in the Workplace

Introduction: The interview process is the process of selling yourself. For newcomers in the workplace, the interview is undoubtedly a very important thing.This is the first test of entering the workplace. During the interview, language communication skills are very important, because it can show your maturity and comprehensive quality. Maybe some interviewers think that as long as they have real talents, everything else is just a secondary issue.But what you need to understand is that those employers will only be interested in you if your talents are displayed.Before your talents are revealed, you are no different from others in his eyes.From this, it can be considered that the interview process is the process of selling yourself.You are a commodity, and all you need to do is convince the other party to buy your unique commodity.How do you market yourself?

(1) clothing.Now that you realize that the other party has the power to decide whether to hire you, you need to know what kind of appearance to adopt.Well, you should be in your most formal attire for the interview.However, don't overdo your attire and know you're going to work, not prom.What kind of clothing is formal clothing?The best thing to do is, wear clothes that are suitable for your future job, it will make you look very competent. (2) MAKEUP.Also, decide whether or not to wear makeup to match your outfit, and even if it shouldn't be overly gaudy. (3) On time.Before the interview, try to arrive at the venue a few minutes early.After arriving, you need to maintain your demeanor and pay attention to your appearance. For this, you need to sit upright in your seat and wait quietly for the call of the interviewer.Shake hands politely with the interviewer, sit down upright, and keep an appropriate distance from the interviewer - neither too close nor too far away.

(4) Temperament.Be polite, warm and confident when you speak.When talking, pay attention to looking at the other party. Although the other party has the right to make decisions, don't be afraid to look at him because of fear.You should always have a smile on your face, it will help you come across as confident. When the other person speaks, look at him with a smile on his face and listen carefully to what he has to say.You should respond to him with your words and deeds, showing that you are paying attention to him.Don't interrupt him, it's very rude. (5) Reserved.Don't get too excited.Even if the other person is very interested in you, don't get carried away, because losing control can easily make you full of mistakes.Even if he has clearly shown a positive intention to you, you should not be too happy, because things may change.

(6) Attitude.You have to maintain a neither humble nor overbearing attitude.Don't act submissive, as if you are begging the other person.This is a mutual choice, and the other party cannot decide your fate.And if you act mean, it will make the other person doubt your ability. Be careful with your words during the interview.In today's workplace, your overall quality will receive more attention, not just your knowledge and intelligence.The voice and tone of your speech represent your character, attitude, cultivation and connotation.To a stranger, the characteristics of the voice will convey these important messages more clearly.Therefore, be sure to make your articulation clear and fluent, not vague and hesitant.If you can articulate every word perfectly, you will give off a sense of confidence and clarity of mind.

Also, you need to maintain an appropriate volume, intonation and rate of speech.If your normal voice is very low, try to raise the volume of your speaking.Because the voice is small, it will give people a feeling of cowardice and lack of self-confidence.But don't make your voice too loud, you just need to be heard clearly, not so that everyone next door can hear, otherwise it will make the other person feel rude.The correct tone of voice can give people a kind and calm feeling, and will virtually shorten the distance between you and the interviewer. Some newcomers in the workplace are nervous or eager to express themselves, and often express their thoughts continuously after the other party asks him a word.They talk as if they are racing a train.While expressing yourself clearly, using reserved and humorous language can create a relaxed and lively conversation atmosphere, and shorten the personal distance between you and the interviewer, which will make you more successful.Of course, these language skills should not be used too much.

During the interview, the interviewer usually asks the interviewer to make a self-introduction, which is the first step in self-expression.Although you know yourself best, it is not easy to let others understand you in a few words-indeed only a few words.Therefore, introducing yourself is not an easy task, and you need to prepare very carefully. So how can you let the other party understand you clearly through short and limited language and time?First of all, you need to know that your purpose is to let the other person know who you really are, not to chat with the other person.Some basic information such as your name, personality, education, work experience, etc. should be briefly introduced.This information may or may not be important, depending on which aspect the employer values ​​more.However, keep in mind that this is just a self-introduction, you don't need to finish everything you want to say, and you can add slowly later.

Secondly, what the interviewer cares most may be your ability, so as to judge whether you are qualified for the job you hope to get.Many interviewees always want to perform well. In their speech, they seem to express such a meaning: "I can do everything." Maybe this is true, but being able to do it does not mean that you can do it well.What employers want to find is someone who can actually do things, not someone who is just talking.So, you need to introduce carefully. Finally, express your own characteristics, which is the most important point.You need to be realistic and neither exaggerate nor minimize your strengths and weaknesses.Don't take interviewers for idiots, or they will too.It is important to convince the other party that you are indeed suitable for the job you hope to obtain.

"Why did you choose this job?" is what interviewers usually ask you. Some people answered inexplicably, which made the interviewer think they had no brains.If you say something like "I want to give it a try, after all, there is an extra chance" or "I didn't want to come...", then these people have almost no chance of success.There are some questions that are often encountered in interviews, and it is where job seekers often make mistakes.We need to handle such issues carefully and properly. We need to clarify what the interviewer's intention is when asking this question.Usually, they want to use this to understand your career goals and your familiarity with the company.When you recognize this, you can respond accordingly.You must connect your interests with your future work and company.For example, "Your organization's management philosophy is in line with my work beliefs", such an answer is very reasonable.

The second most common question we encounter during the interview process is: "What do you think is your weakness?" They ask this question because they want to know about your integrity and match the position you are applying for.The average person will only take into account one of the two aspects. He either speaks out his shortcomings directly in order to give the interviewer an honest impression, or covers up his shortcomings and lies to the interviewer. Both of these approaches are undesirable.We should find a balance between the two.For example, if you are applying for a financial job, you can say: "I am a slow person, which makes me often think about everything carefully." For example, you say in general: "I do have many shortcomings. , but I think these shortcomings will not affect the play of my strengths."

Sometimes, interviewers usually ask: "If your opinion conflicts with your boss's, what would you do?" This assumption is to test your communication skills and self-identity. Your answer should be: "First of all, think about the boss's opinion, because after all he is more experienced than me, and he will see the problem more comprehensively and deeply; secondly, if I confirm that my opinion is more accurate, then I will put I will communicate my opinion with my boss, and I believe he will agree with me, because after all, our goals are the same. Of course, we should pay attention to using certain skills in the process of communication.”

The last question is the one you are most concerned about, and that is salary.Job seekers will at least consider this question to be important, if not the most important.How to talk about salary issues with interviewers is very important, it has a great impact on the success of your interview.At this time, you should boldly state your expected salary, and don't say "according to the company's regulations", which shows that you don't have a very clear understanding of the current job. Of course, your expected salary should be in line with both the company and your personal requirements, too high or too low is not good for you.Give a range that can float, so that the other party has room to consider.Generally speaking, employers will not let you down if you are a good fit. The interview tests a person's psychological quality: (1) Correct the attitude of the interview, and find a way to make yourself understand that success or failure in the interview is not a big deal. (2) Maintain an honest, neither humble nor overbearing attitude.You know, selling yourself is just a means, not an end. (3) Don't forget that you are also choosing the other party during the interview, and you have to take the initiative to choose.
