Do you want to know what is more likely to be added to the interviewer's answers during the interview?

That's the thing about the future: when you're stuck in your ways, it's always the same as your yesterday; when you're aggressive, it turns into a brilliant, unbearable spring. --from the internet

When interviewing for a job, you may come across an interviewer who asks, "What makes you think we'll pass you?"

When many people in the workplace encounter such a question, most of them are confused and don't know how to answer.

Yesterday, when Lao Wang was doing interview coaching for a job seeker, Lao Wang did a mock interview for him and asked him this rather tricky question. Because of the other party's surprise and unpreparedness, the answer made the "interviewer" - Lao Wang - unsatisfied, not to mention the HR of various companies. Perhaps because of this one question, the interviewer may refuse to hire you.

If you want to answer this question well, you should first think about the purpose of the interviewer's question - what do you want to investigate? Lao Wang believes that it is nothing more than.

1, to examine your ability to respond. Encounter such a problem, many job seekers stammer, or even unable to answer, or give the reason simply can not convince the interviewer. Lao Wang believes that in the interview, the interviewer is not to make things difficult for you, but hopes to see your performance by making you unexpected questions. Psychology has something to say about this: that inner reactions must show assumptions among behaviors, and that all your performance is your inner reaction. In this way, the interviewer can infer your inner reaction through your behavior.

2, look at your reaction before the pressure interview. For most job seekers, the first reaction to a stressful interview is to think that the interviewer is deliberately making things difficult for himself, trying to embarrass himself, etc. The old king told you, then you think too much! When it comes to stress interviews, anyone who thinks the interviewer is making things difficult for him or her in the workplace can adjust the mindset of always thinking the worst. Such a mindset is likely to become a source of complaints.

3. Examine how your mindset changes and how your emotions show up when faced with challenges. For workplace professionals, whether your emotions are disguised or controlled, they will show up in your facial expressions. The interviewer will judge whether you are suitable for the position based on your facial expressions and changes in your eyes. Lao Wang suggests that being calm can regulate your emotions, at least so that you don't panic inside when things go wrong, and can also answer the interviewer's questions in an orderly manner.

4. ......

The above is what the interviewer wants to examine. The results of the interview are only "satisfactory" and "unsatisfactory".

1. The interviewer is not satisfied. If your answers do not satisfy the interviewer, you will not have a chance to move on to the next round of interviews or to join the company.

2. The interviewer is satisfied. If you answer questions that are approved by the interviewer, you will move on to the next round of interviews.

When interviewing, many people do not want to see the first result but hope to get the second result. According to Lao Wang's interview experience, Lao Wang believes that to get the second result that satisfies the interviewer, you can do the following.

1, in the whole interview process to your project experience, data-based performance, the whole participation or the whole lead of the project, good at the point, and so on show to the interviewer, the interviewer then asks you such questions, you just need to summarize their previous work experience can be.

Relatively satisfactory answers such as: through my past performance, project experience, the whole process of leading the project, I am good at content and your description of the needs of the position to judge, I think I am suitable for the position.

As a job seeker, you answer in this way to show the interviewer that.

1) You are emotionally stable and consistent, not "irritated" by the interviewer's questions.

(2) You do not condescend, frank, all from your confidence.

3) Your ability to think logically and react is better than other candidates.

If you follow these answers, if you meet an interviewer who loves talent, you will be taken with you. The rest of the interview will be about the interviewer racking their brains to find a way to persuade you to join their company.

2. You can make a precautionary statement that you won't make it through the interview. You might say if you know you won't pass the interview, why say anything at all? Wrong. Interviews for individuals and companies, in addition to finding jobs and talent, there is another side - communication: one is to spread the employer brand of the company; the other is to spread the personal and professional brand. If you interview very well in an interview, even if the other party does not take you on, they will help you with job referrals and recommend the company.

Suppose you do not pass the interview, what should you say? Lao Wang gives you a reference answer.

You can say something like this: "Interview is a two-way selection process, if I cannot pass this interview with your company, it means that I am still lacking in some aspects and need to work hard to change. I hope to have the opportunity to contribute to the development of your company in the future."

The benefits of your answer in this way.

1) Show that you are both humble and confident.

2) Shows your mindset and is one that many interviewers like.

3, after the interview, no matter how well you interview, do not leave the interview site directly without saying hello. Old King suggests that the interview, no matter how the interview results, we must do a good job of closing politely, never because you do not perform well in the interview, or the interviewer does not recognize our experience or ability, you leave with a grudge.

Old King has always believed that the interview process, is the performance of the whole process from the time you enter the company to the time you leave it. Since this is the case, the more you get to the end of the interview, the more you have to grasp your performance, maybe the interviewer will change his mind.

Tell us a real case: a headhunter took a candidate to a corporate interview. The candidate's answers were not particularly satisfactory in the interview process, and the company hesitated to move on to the next round of interviews, sending out subordinates to ask and consult various departments. However, the interviewer decided to conduct another interview because of the candidate's courtesy and poise.

What was it about the candidate's performance that made him lose the second interview? After the interview, the candidate was about to leave and was walking through the corridor in the company's common area when he noticed a piece of rubbish on the floor. The candidate bent down to pick it up and threw it into the trash can. It was this small action that was seen by the chairman of the company, which led to the second interview and the final acceptance by the company.

You might say that this story is a bit dramatic. Yes, sometimes things start dramatically when they go from bad to good.
