Conscience Dry | How to be shocked by your interviewer

Source: Medium Translation Source: Nextoffer Welcome to share original to Bole headlines two qualities that best reveal the potential.

According to a story circulated a few years ago, Google has applied its lvl.99 data processing technology to the interview and business evaluation process to try to answer a question: what qualities are shown in an interview that best predict its success in the company.

For personnel managers at the beginning of their careers, the answer is to look at a person who is not likeable. Baby, if you think this is inaccurate or have something to add to the story, please spray me. ）

I don't know if Google is interested in the other role of the interview in this survey, but with years of recruiting and working experience with new hires, I know what my answer will be, and the answer is simple.

Are You are self-aware, and Are you proactive? Do you have a self (zi) (zhi) (zhi) knowledge (Ming) that is forward-looking.

Oh, of course, the ability to work is very noticeable. It is impressive to have some thoughtful ideas in the conversation. But if you're just getting started, people usually think you're still developing your skills. If you're not working on a design line for a long time, your work may not be up to par, or you've never considered a product or market fit before. But it doesn't matter, there is a problem more important than these: what is your potential in terms of learning ability?

Some of the best designers I've worked with today are not the most skilled in the interview, but they have the potential. they ask questions, they put themselves in an environment where they need to stretch themselves, and they set it as their goal to become better.

self-consciousness and foresight are two sides of a coin. If you are self-conscious, you will know what you are good at and what you are not good at. If you are forward-looking, you will be able to act on it.

 

Oh, my God, I'm in a box.

How did you become the more self-aware and proactive to become more self-conscious and forward-looking.

The answer to this question is a voluminous one, from meditation in the woods to keeping a diary, from listing to exercising the muscles, and more often raising hands and asking questions.

To avoid generalities, I'll share a step-by-step approach, which I call "do this when I need to plan ." I have benefited from it, and I hope it will help you.

1. Open a new writing window (or, if you're an old-fashioned writer, use a pen and a Moleskine notebook)

2. Write down 3-5 things you're good at. Then write 3-5 things you're not good at, but want to improve.

3. Make sure your list is accurate. Ask your manager, your teacher, your mentor, or your friends and ask them what they see as your greatest strengths and where you need to improve. If their answers are completely inconsistent with what you list, don't lose heart and ask other people you trust until they match what's listed on the list.

4. pay attention to your strengths. when you read each of the advantages, nod your head and hold it firmly in your mind. These are your powers. Yes, they belong to you and apply it when you see the right time. Think about the great things you've done with these advantages in the past, for example, the thing you do that makes everyone feel great, or the way you get a group of people to agree on something, think about the 3 things you can do next month. They don't have to be big things, but be specific so you can cross them off the list. These things will make you happy, because you can do them well. Put your list of strengths in the obvious places you can see every day (like a mirror), because these things are great and you are great.

5. now turn to your self-improvement checklist. In contrast to each item on the list, imagine what degree you want to reach within three years. Close your eyes and really start imagining, it's like watching a video of your future. Is there anyone who has this skill that you admire and want to imitate? How you will carry out your work. What you will change in the course of three years from now. The future you give you what you feel. The clearer you see these, the easier it will be to implement them.

6. through brainstorming, think of 3 things you can do next month, to make yourself a step away from your ideal. Similarly, there is no need for a crazy or ambitious plan, just a little closer to your goal. For example, ask your team members to sit down every week to help you improve X. Or spend 20 minutes a day practicing Y. If you're having trouble making a plan, consider sitting down with someone you trust to do it. In my experience, they are usually happy to help.

7. stick to your plan. just do it in one months and do 6 little things, no big deal. Make a checklist, and then realize how satisfying it is to cross them off when you're done.

8. repeat as needed.

If you follow the above method, you will make progress. It's so simple.

When you are interviewing for a job, you can say what you have. Describe what kind of problems your strengths can help you solve. You can also talk about areas where you need to improve if there is an obvious aspect that the interviewer will notice. For example, when sharing a project in the past, don't try to cover up areas that you don't feel proud of. Say what you're not satisfied with, and how it will be different the next time you do it. job seekers who know what they can bring to the team and know where they want to improve are the kind of people I want to work with.

What skills you have today are not that important, as long as you can clearly show that you are a person who will have those skills in the future.

Find out what you are good at and what you are not good at, and then act on it.
