Trying to attract the attention of the interviewer in just a few minutes, of course, if your profile is concentrated boutique. Therefore, the prelude to the general sentence to state their basic features. Then quickly entered, or choose your own proudest experience narrative, or to introduce their own strengths. Dialogue between the parties: Interviewer (I) interviewer Applicant (A) of job seekers.


Example 1: Q: Would you please say something about yourself? (Please talk about your situation, okay?)

Such as: the knowledge, intelligence, work experience, initiative, interpersonal relationships, capacity is and really continue to absorb new knowledge, new experiences inextricably linked, is to teach life experience and the elderly combining .

There are three main measure of a post core elements, which is the most important interview of mining points, accounting for 80 to 90 percent. This is a business in order to achieve its strategic goals, to be successful, and comprehensive requirements for candidates possess professionalism, competence and knowledge. During the interview, the study focused on the candidates' how to express themselves (How it is performed) ".


Topic closely following three aspects to show their advantages:

  

1 professional skills (Professional Skill):

Whether the candidates have the necessary professional skills to work. This is the result of long-term assessment of the candidate's technical training and knowledge. During the interview mainly on your suitability for the job.


Example 13: I: What make you think you would be a success in this position?


(How do you know you can do the job?)


This is to investigate the ability of your most frequently asked questions. We must first determine where the focus of this issue. Since the interviewer referred to "What right," you certainly have to focus on "qualified" to do the article:


A: I graduated from Beijing University in 2003, and hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science Therefore, I have a firm knowledge background in this field My graduate school training combined with my internship should qualify me for this particular job I... am sure I will be successful.


(I graduated from Peking University in 2003, received a bachelor's degree in computer science, so in this area, I have a very solid basic skills. My graduate school training, plus internship me for this job and I believe I can succeed .)

(With my strong academic background, I am capable and work, and I consider myself very competitive.


I think that your organization needs people like me. )


Once you introduce their educational background, the interviewer began to be interested in you, because what you have learned what they need.


2 of achievement, performance (achievements)


Foreign companies like to speak with the facts interview, in order to prove your ability, you can link to past experience, that you have solved a previous company with similar problems now faced by employers, it is best to speak with a number.


Example 15: I: Why do you think you are qualified for this position?


(Why do you think you are qualified for this position?)


A: I have finished three new projects, and I am sure I can apply my experience to this position.


(I have finished three new projects, and I am sure I can apply my experience to this position.)

  

3 work experience (working experience):


The experience of their counterparts in each employer is a little special attention, assessment whether the candidates have done related work vacancies, and has accumulated relevant experience, are familiar with the business processes of transport to do, whether to put the fastest to work, and bring new ideas and methods. Of course, the interviewer see your experience points for you, so you want to talk about the next step out of their work experience:


Example 16: I: Do you think you are the right person for the job?


(Do you think you are the best person for the job right?)


At this time, you give him one of the most simple, most clearly, the most confident answer, and gives reasons:


A:. Yes Because I do believe that my qualifications and experience perfectly match what you are looking for I have the experience you are looking for, and think I will be one of the best in this field..


(Yes, because I believe that my qualifications and experience to be able to satisfy the needs of your company, I have something your company needs, and confident that I can be one of the best people in the field.

(I worked for three years in this field, I think I can apply my knowledge and experience to your company. With my qualifications and experience, I feel I am doing a project hardworking, responsible and diligent my analytical and interpersonal skills, Your organization could benefit.)


With such a sentence, let the interviewer think you are standing on their position to speak, in consideration for their development problems, then more likely to accept you. When interviewing people look at you really can not do this job, the standard reference is no longer in his mind's standards, but the reason you cited. You have a solid knowledge base, relevant experience, full of confidence and hard-working character. Examiners do not choose you, but also to choose who?


Fourth, the conversation of the 3P principles


It should be remembered "3P principle of" self-introduction: Positive (confident), Personal (personality), Pertinent (pertinent).


1. confidence (Confidence) represents enthusiasm and grasp of the mental state of a person in the career of the work and the correct perception of their own ability.

So the answer to calm, confident (Lacks confidence and poise), but not distraught (is nervous and ill at ease).


2 prominent personality, it is to play out their own distinctive features, emphasizing their professionalism and capabilities. Self-introduction should be concise, clear thinking people left to interview, quick response, logical impression. Time not too long, the best control in five minutes. Do an eloquent about himself, in full flight, give the impression that self-proclaimed, self-centered impression.


3 tone fair, is to be realistic, not exaggerated, bombastic, and do not involve and what does not matter.


After order to express their faith, an issue published opinions finish, can be attached added:

So far as that is concerned, you must have understood my determination.


(At this point, you must have understood my determination.)
