4. You lack work experience, how can you be competent for this job?

Answer Tips:

If the recruiting unit raises this question for the applicants of the graduates, it means that the recruiting company does not really care about experience. The key depends on how the applicants answer;
The answer to this question*4 must reflect the sincerity and sincerity of the applicants. Quick-witted, courageous and dedicated;

For example, as a fresh graduate, there is indeed a lack of work experience, so I have been taking various opportunities to work part-time in this industry during my studies. I also found that actually work is far more knowledgeable and complicated than books. But I have a strong sense of responsibility, adaptability and learning ability, and I am more diligent, so I can successfully complete various tasks in a part-time job, and the experience gained from it has also benefited me a lot. Please rest assured that my school and part-time work experience make me qualified for this position. Comment: The answer to this question is acceptable. It is better to highlight your ability to endure hardship and adaptability and learning ability (not academic performance).

5. What was the reason for your resignation from the previous company?

Answer Tips:

The most important thing is: the applicant should convince the recruiting unit that the reason for the applicant’s resignation in the past unit does not exist in this recruiting unit;
Avoid making the reason for resignation too detailed and too specific;

No Doped with subjective negative feelings, such as too hard work, complicated interpersonal relationships, too chaotic management, the company does not value talents, the company rejects our XX employees, etc.;
but it cannot be avoided or avoided, such as changing the environment, personal reasons, etc.
Do not involve your own negative personality characteristics, such as dishonesty, laziness, lack of responsibility, uneasiness, etc.;

Try to use the reasons explained to add colour to the applicant’s personal image;
Related example: If I left because the company closed down; I have been working in the company for more than three years and have deep feelings; since last year, due to the sudden change in the market situation, the company’s situation has taken a turn for the worse; I feel sorry for this step, but I have to face reality and look for something that can play my role. The stage of ability. There is not only one answer to the same interview question, and the same answer is not effective in any interview situation. The key is to grasp the specific situation of the interview after the applicant has mastered the rules, and consciously figure out the psychological background of the interviewer’s question. Then do what you like.

Analysis: Unless the salary is too low, or the initial job, do not use salary as a reason. Asking for development has also been heard too much by the examiner. The reason for resignation should be designed according to everyone’s true resignation reason, but it must be sincere when answering. When I really can’t think of it, I can say that my family is out of town because there is something at home and I have to take a few months of leave, and the company can’t be allowed to leave, so I resigned. This answer is generally acceptable to interviewers.

There must be advantages and disadvantages of there is competition, and there will be failures if there is a success. There are often many difficulties and setbacks behind success.

Accept the reality that you will not look back if you have lost this opportunity, and show your resistance to this failure in terms of your psychological will and spirit.
Be confident and believe that you will be able to work hard after experiencing this time.

8. If you are going to send a classmate who is going abroad to the airport at night, but you have to do something temporary at your unit, what should you do?

Answer Tips: I think work is for people, but the friendship between friends cannot be neglected. I think this issue should be decided according to the specific circumstances at the time.

If my friend’s plane is at 9 o’clock in the evening, and my overtime can be completed at 8 o’clock, then it would be ideal. After finishing the work and going to the airport, everyone is happy.
If it is said that work is not very urgent, and working overtime is just to deliver the report to the office tomorrow when you go to work, then you can say hello to the leader, go to the airport and then come back to work overtime, just go to bed later.
If the work is urgent and it is impossible to take care of the two, I think there are two options.
- If all the units do not work overtime, can you ask other colleagues to take the place of work and go to the airport by yourself, even if it is the moment you leave.
- If you can’t even do this, then you have no choice but to call a friend to explain, and he will understand. After all, the work is done and the friend can still meet again.

9. If our unit hires you through this interview, but you find that you are not suitable for this position after working for a period of time, what should you do?

Answer Tips: I find that the job is not suitable for me for a period of time. There are two situations:

If you really love this profession, then you must continue to learn, humbly learn business knowledge and experience from leaders and colleagues, understand the spiritual connotation and professional requirements of this profession, and strive to reduce the gap;
If you think this profession is dispensable, it is better to change your profession as soon as possible to find a profession that suits you and you love so that your development prospects will be bigger, which is good for both the unit and the individual.
