Job interview skills

"A strong handshake with the interview director must demonstrate your confidence and enthusiasm ......" On the afternoon of June 23, November 10, director of Sopha (Sophie) from the employment guidance center of City College of New York City University talked to College Students of Zhejiang University about the interview questions for American college students.

Do not apply only with your resume

Many Chinese college students only apply with their resumes, so there is more to prepare for American college students. Sopha said that they also need to bring a self-referral letter with a cover and a CD of their own projects.

During the interview, when the supervisor says "talk about your resume", you must never say "I already made it clear in my resume ", it is best to say "as I said in my resume ......", This article describes your educational background, career goals, skills, and experience.

Many companies in the United States are very concerned about the team spirit of candidates. The projects that you have worked with students at the university reflect your team spirit, which is exactly what you want to express on the CD.

Before the interview, you must search for the company you are applying for and learn about the company, such as the position and Development Prospects. You must combine your position with your personality, Major, and interests, this is directly related to your enthusiasm and creativity in your future work.

Strong handshake

The interview handshake must be strong; otherwise, it will be considered a lack of self-confidence, shy personality, etc., it is very likely that a job opportunity slipped away, because many American bosses like enthusiastic and confident employees. In addition, do not extend your hand to your employer to make him feel nervous and unconfident.

During the interview, the supervisor is likely to chat with you, "It 'ssunny. (today is the sun shining .)" Many college students think that they are a way for the supervisor to ease the atmosphere. In fact, they are testing your interpersonal skills and never underestimate them.

Sopha stressed that during the last five minutes of the interview, the supervisor may ask you about your requirements or opinions on the positions you apply for. You can ask the company's career training plan and space for improvement, but do not ask questions about salary because he hasn't hired you yet. Finally, you can append a phrase "can I call you?" To give the supervisor a very polite impression. If you can, you can take this opportunity to increase his understanding of you.

Find a job like dancing

Looking for a position that best suits you, you need to keep moving like dancing. Sopha said that when a college student just graduated to work for a job, he may not be able to find the job that best suits him at once. Therefore, after two or three years of work, he may have to look for a new job. For example, if you like language, writing, and cars, what kind of work is best for you? Undoubtedly, you need to pay attention to the publishing industry or the media industry and be related to automobiles. Therefore, it is a suitable choice for sports magazines and leisure fashion magazines. We usually need to pay attention to the collection of relevant information about this industry. It is not difficult to find a job that you are interested in and can make full use of your expertise.

To find a job that is most suitable for you, not only focus on a job, but also on the job-related industries.
