Interview strategy with no leading group

No-leader group interview, also called group interview, is a common form of interview for enterprises. As the name suggests, in a group, Every interviewer is equal. through their own efforts, they need to win a recognized role in the group and contribute their own strength to the results of the group discussion. In this process, it shows the interviewer your abilities and qualities in all aspects, problem analysis, communication and expression, teamwork, professional knowledge utilization, and emotional control, leadership and so on.
The role is very important. During the entire interview, the role is clear and you have the largest contribution in the role direction you have selected. (Note that it is not easier for the leader to pass, the pass opportunities of any role are equal, as long as you contribute the most to the selected role)
To select your own role direction, you need to consider the ability, personality, and professional composition between the group members (for example, if you selected the direction, you should meet a person who is better suited to the interview, then there is no need to fight for it. You can select other similar directions or take the secondary role in this direction.) The most important thing is that according to your daily life and work, better at that role (it has nothing to do with the job position of the Student Union. Think about whether your daily life inspires others to think more, or is it good at thinking alone? Is it good at summing up statements, or is it good at expressing inspiration; is it good at observing and executing discipline, or encouraging freedom and innovation, good at guiding ideas, or implementing ideas, good at overall situations, or good at solving specific problems; is it good at active discussion atmosphere, or seriously discovering problems ). Only when Role Positioning is suitable for your usual performance can you make more natural and outstanding contributions in this direction.
Reference roles: Leader, second leader, time-keeper, record reviewer (more suitable for girls), hejian (Team lubricant), dianziwang (majority of groups, be familiar with a certain field of knowledge, be inspired, have more suggestions, and be good at solving specific problems ).
Of course, there are other personalized roles. As long as you want to work out your own personality and abilities, you can know how to take responsibility and make the greatest contribution to this role. Go ahead!
Different roles may have different performances. Here, I will talk about roles in my understanding and how to make the greatest contribution to this role direction.
1. Leader
Many people think that leader is easy to pass, because leader has many plays and has many performance times and opportunities. It is easy to add more scores for itself (if the position requires leadership, ).
How can we make a good leader in the group?
Before the interview, you should know the name, background, hobbies, and special skills of the interviewees (you don't have to ask too much and remember it when chatting). During the interview, based on the individual's expertise and expertise, the appropriate division of labor and cooperation, and the appropriate stages of the presentation and summary opportunities, to the appropriate students. In short, it is more important to let everyone recognize and trust you before the interview. We often trust someone not because a sentence makes sense, but because they trust him first. Therefore, it is important to familiarize yourself with leader before the interview.
There are many ways for leader to lead the team during the interview, and I think the leader is the first choice. Only when team members trust your ideas and can solve interview problems well can they cooperate with you to enrich the solution. Not all of these ideas are put forward by yourself. They can be integrated into the minds of all people. You are also guiding and summarizing the ideas of other students to reflect your leadership and teamwork skills. (In the group, I usually first say, "What we encounter is a XXX problem. The goal is to implement XXX. When discussing specific solutions, let's first determine the overall solution ." "Let me talk about my ideas first. Let's look at the supplements and improvements, OK? My idea is this ......". After I finish my thinking, I usually agree with it. In this general idea, I have added my own suggestions and improved them to determine our overall thinking. Next, we will discuss the specific implementation methods in every step of the overall thinking, And I will naturally become the leader of the group. I would like to thank the team members for their focus on solution and their trust and support! During group interviews in various companies, I have met a group of friends and have been keeping in touch with each other for a long time. Wish all of us !)
After determining the overall thinking, we will discuss the specific implementation methods and steps (sometimes the case questions are difficult, involving many resources, difficulties and impacts, and it is difficult to think of the overall thinking at the moment, you can take turns to speak, interpret the case materials together, and then take shape. However, in this way, there will be a lot of time-consuming, but there is no systematic approach. At this time, the leader needs to record and summarize the key points of each person's speech, extract ideas in a timely manner, and let everyone further discuss this idea ).
When discussing specific execution plans, the leader's task is not to propose ideas, but to encourage team members to discuss them together and effectively control the discussion process in this process, so that the discussion will always focus on the overall idea, step by step. In this process, we need to interact with our team members and provide feedback (for example, "are you talking about reducing costs ?", "How can we reduce the cost ?"; "Do you pay attention to employee training and productivity improvement ?", "What are the opinions of other students ?" And so on. The comments of team members should be summarized in a timely manner and actively fed back to you ).
The leader should also pay attention to the issue of opportunity allocation. You should properly guide the team members to give full play to their expertise and provide professional advice on the solution based on their professional advantages. (For example, "how do you think this problem should be solved from the perspective of marketing ?" "How do you avoid environmental pollution when you learn chemistry ?" And so on. If a student does not speak very much or fails to get a chance to speak, leader can say, "Do you have any other comments? Otherwise, let's listen to the comments .") In short, it is the greatest contribution of leader to give full play to the abilities and knowledge advantages of each group member and integrate a complete solution within the specified time.
The communication, tolerance, and empathy developed by leader (capable of understanding the ideas and psychological changes of the team members) and summarizing ability are all very important in the group.
What is leadership?
Leadership does not mean to instruct the team, nor to seek political advice. Instead, leadership uses his own enthusiasm to pull the progress of the entire team and uses good arrangements to ensure that the team plans, and use your own knowledge and full analysis to facilitate effective discussion by the team. Leadership never leaves the team and always contributes the most to the maximum benefit of the team.
2. Time-keeper
Don't underestimate the Time Keeper. In many field groups, I found that Time Keeper has passed. Why?
Because the Time Keeper team cooperation and team contribution are easy to highlight. However, taking on a good time keeper is not as easy as simply calculating the time. It is learned. Next, let's talk about how to make a good time keeper in the group.
The first task of Time Keeper is time management. Therefore, after receiving the case questions and time rules, Time Keeper browses the case and solves the difficulties based on the case. It is appropriate to divide the time period into multiple parts (before the interview, through the conversation, we can preliminarily judge that the employee may be a leader. He sat next to him during the interview. He discussed the time before and after the time blocks with the leader and tried to match the overall thinking and progress, this is a relatively secure method ). Then, let us talk about our ideas with our team members (for example, "We are going to discuss a XXX problem. We may encounter difficulties in solving the XXX and XXX problems. I suggest that you divide the interview time according to your questions before the discussion? OK ?", "Let's start thinking for three minutes and write down a rough plan. Then we take turns to talk about our own ideas. Each person has a minute and a half minutes, 12 minutes in total. Then, we will discuss it in 20 minutes and get a comprehensive solution. Finally, we will select the representative's summary statement and give him 5 minutes to sort out his ideas and prepare a summary. The entire process was 3 + 12 + 20 + 5 = 40 minutes, while the interview lasted 45 minutes. We had several minutes of maneuver. In this way, do you think it is feasible to divide the time ?", "If feasible, good! Now let's get started !")
(I have also seen some people say, "I have brought a table. It's easy to timing. Let me timing it !", In this way, Time Keeper is made, which is simple and straightforward. But how to do well is still a serious task .)
During the discussion, the Time Keeper should strictly manage the time according to the discussed time plan, and interrupt the students who have timed out in the speech as appropriate ("the time is up, please stop, to the next speaker .), It also helps you to make your conversation concise and concise. ("can you use several words to summarize your words ?", "Briefly, what is your conclusion ?", We can also use the praise method, for example, "a certain person talked about the xxx issue, which is very insightful. The focus is to solve the xxx issue. What do you think ?")
Time Keeper also has an important responsibility to work with the leader to guide the team members in the overall direction of thinking (this is also a key of the second leader ). When realizing that leader needs time and opportunities to speak, you can "Next, let's summarize the content of the conversation and hear how a certain person summarizes it .", Or "Let's go back to the general idea. We have discussed that step ?". (Note: the Time Keeper sometimes needs to sing a black face and interrupt the talk with a forward or backward question to make the discussion effective. Don't worry, because after the interruption, the next speech opportunity will not benefit you, so you are not easy to dislike you. Of course, the tone should be as elegant as possible .)
Mobile time processing is also the time when time keeper is used.
If the remaining time is sufficient, you can push the Team forward ("there are four minutes left. Can we improve the solution ?", "We have solved the problem. We still have four minutes to discuss how to avoid the same production problem in the future !").
In short, Time Keeper is an important member of the team. It is not only related to whether the team can fully discuss the problem within the specified time, but also to get a complete solution (Time Block and leader assistance ), it is also related to equal opportunities for team members and their greatest contributions to achieve the optimal solution (in terms of time management and guiding speeches ).
Do you want to pass? Time Keeper is a good choice!
3. Record reviewer
When the team members were disturbing, another girl was recording the speech of no one seriously, without stopping all kinds of marks and marking the focus of the speech. This girl is the pass king in the group. Of course, boys can also take responsibility. In general, there are more suitable for girls ).
I tried to use the boys' thinking to explain this suitable job for girls: how to make a good record reviewer in the group.
(1) clear records, highlighted
Based on the schedule of the team, divide a piece of paper into several parts. At the top of each part, clearly define the problems and objectives to be solved during the time period. During the discussion, you should quickly and accurately write down the speeches of each student (not all words must be recorded for the name and content, but the full meaning must be recorded, including good ideas and bad ideas .) Based on the overall solution of the team, the key points of the speech should be marked with marks.
(2) Cooperate with leader to solve blind spots and promote discussion (of course, it is best to sit around the leader)
Give speeches and creative ideas related to solving important problems in a timely manner, and clearly indicate them to or send them to the leader. If you find that an important question has not been discussed, you will be asked to discuss it again. You can also use leader to guide you to discuss it again. When a team member has no purpose in the discussion, come up and let us know the step we just discussed. Next we will discuss the step.
(3) make a concluding speech appropriately, and strive to make a summary statement by making a representative.
At the end of the discussion, I picked up the book and directed it to every member. "I have recorded all the comments on this book. Next, let me tell you the key points of my record! ", When everyone looks at you, you must have a clear mind and focus on the key points of the solution you have sorted out one by one. In this process, praise a classmate's ideas by name. Finally, "this is the result of our discussion. Here we record it. Which of the following students will make representative presentations. I will give this book to him .". Other team members must have said they don't have to choose. Let's just talk about it (haha, the advantages of girls are fully utilized !)
When you fail to win a representative's presentation opportunity, you also know how to play your role, right?
Finally, let's talk about the bad ideas in the record (how to judge the bad ideas, which do not match the company's culture and style of work, conflict with the overall goal of solving the problem, or develop new ideas, it is not within the scope of this case. If a student raises the question only once and does not take too much time for discussion, he can just write it down, instead of making it clear to everyone. If it is raised again and aroused discussion, it is necessary to make a clear statement and participate in guiding the discussion.
The record reviewer is the most important and well-founded speaker! If you have a weight, the pass is certainly okay!
