How To Take Interview Conversation Into Your Own Hands
I'm sure many thought about before the interview question: how to make an impression that I have to work? What and how to speak? How to behave? Which way to choose?
I have bad news, but it is also good - there is no uniform rules.
There is no magic instructions that will help you 100% chance to appeal to the employer. Each subsequent interview will be different from the previous one. Why is that? Because recruitment is always subjective.
Yes, some of the most modern companies tend to ignore the personal preference, using techniques and tools that are adopting innovative approaches. But eliminate the human factor completely impossible, because in front of you at the table sits a man. With his life experience, well-established rules and mood.
Moreover, when you reach the level of the head, it is, except for all of the above, intuitively determines with whom he wants to, or willing, or can work. The only thing in your power - desires and preferences of a particular person to define itself during the interview.
How to do it? Listen carefully and ask questions. Questions to help you understand what kind of person is needed for this position, what requirements are important, but not described in the job.
Imagine that you have come to the interview. You have been asked to tell about yourself. Are you happy to have begun, for example, from a distance, with a theme of the diploma, detail and proudly listed their achievements and carefully avoided the sharp corners of your professional career. Twenty minutes of quality of the monologue. You - in the spotlight, you are - on the stage. The man on the other side of the table may ask you some questions, and perhaps just listened attentively.

Take a look at the situation from a different angle. You talked about himself, but did not learn anything about the desires of a particular employer for a specific position. Experienced recruiters tend to quickly assess the situation, and if they do not ask - do not tell too much words. Why is that? Because waiting for initiative from you. Watch: how much you are willing to meet, and how deep you are in the subject. In other words, how exactly do you understand what will work, and why you think that the approach to this work.
Many companies today the direction of your reasoning is much more important restatement of summary. Summary fact already read. Now matter how you say what you think, and what you can offer.
So long as you do not ask questions about the job - you are in the zone of complete uncertainty. Moreover, a general knowledge of the company, even if you scoured the Internet, to help, but is not essential. Need detail the specifics of work and rules of the game. There are a number of issues that can be set to almost any job, but it is better to include the brain and ask questions based on what you said a specific recruiter at a particular moment. Question answer. Another question - and answer. Keep in this dance. Before you - the media. Originator.
For example, the following questions are relevant:
- Tell us why position open (this is a new position, or you're looking for a person to replace). If the replacement of why people left or was fired? Is there any objective reason why he lost? If a person has been promoted - how fast this growth occurred, and what position he moved? At the same time you make a conclusion as a matter of fact the company going career.
- Ask who is the head of the employee in this position - a man or a woman. Ask what his / her own requirements for the candidate.
- If you are the people in subjection, ask how many of them. What is the situation in the team at the moment as a whole? When was the last time was to optimize the set of commands or new people? Why is that?
- What are the requirements for a person in that position, other than those specified in the job? On that particular attention is drawn?
- As the interviewer evaluates your chances? Have to give at least an intermediate feedback.
For example, specifying a step-by-step, the picture will become for you a little more understandable. The interview, in fact, - trade, where one sells a product (itself), and the second to buy this product (the candidate).
Even if you caught the first meeting of "naive fool", the next step you will encounter an experienced person who is in a meeting with you is to ask yourself these questions:
- How this person is suitable to my problems?
- How to fit into the team and into the atmosphere?
- Will I be comfortable working with him already, for example, tomorrow?
These requirements will never be published. Find out about them, you can only carefully talking with someone.
In addition, smile, be friendly, and collected. It is important. The friendliness and openness of the covers set, including professional and disadvantages. It's nice to work with nice people.
However, there are cases of the pervasive nature of subjective assessment - impenetrable, and you have no chance, no matter how you try. You do not like you, period. And you're clever and quick-witted, and you have a spectacular experience, and financial conditions come together, but there does not come out you stone flower. What to do? It's nothing.
If you can jump over your head - jump. Look outputs on customer job, tell him about themselves, take risks, we see Argues! If you succeed - the recruiter will have to admit defeat. But if the boss trusts his HR-service means not destiny.

However, do not despair. Recruiters come and go, try again after a while. And once again, if you want.
Remember: every interview - your contribution to the treasury of experience. Less nervousness, more ease, elegance and logic in the responses, clear, well-formulated questions on your part. This is only possible when training. Train even those who have not appreciated.
Remember - do not take the job, on the job and take the appropriate company specific command man. And some of the lyrics: it might seem that this material is written exclusively for the generation Z, which is not afraid of any crisis or shift work or bezrabotnitsy. This is not so. Now on the market a lot of people looking for work, the expected deterioration of conditions or major changes for many job - a tough test for some - an elementary question of survival.
