Today I will reveal to you the 7 subtexts of HR!
Read these to make your interview stand out and get the job you want sooner rather than later
At the end, you will also be given a universal model for answering the corresponding interview questions, so that you can click to get the offer
1️⃣ "Let's introduce ourselves~"
Subtext: Please, don't read your resume! I only care if your skills and strengths match our role
✅ Answer: Personal background overview + experience, skills and strengths that match the position you are applying for + your motivation
Utility: Introduce yourself to the universal model
2️⃣ "What's the most fulfilling thing you've ever done?" ”
Subtext: What level of competence you are at, and whether you are higher than other candidates
✅ Answer ideas: Use the STAR rule to describe, show the experience or ability related to the position, and it is best to compare your own results with the average level to highlight your ability
We say that there are two types of interview questions, one is called task questions and the other is called opinion questions
The STAR model can be used to answer task questions, and the other model can solve opinion questions
3️⃣ "What do you think about overtime?"
Subtext: We tend to hire people who can work overtime
✅ Answer ideas: improve work efficiency, try not to work overtime + put the completion of work in the first place, if the project needs, provide you with support (overtime is the result, not the goal)
4️⃣ "Why did you leave your last house?" ”
Subtext: It depends on what you value when you find your next job, and whether our company can meet it
✅ Answer ideas: the harvest and promotion of the previous job + the expectation of the next job (platform + responsibility + ability)
Utility: A one-size-fits-all model for answering the reasons for leaving
5️⃣ "Why did you want to join our company?" ”
Subtext: Have you ever understood our company in advance, don't come from Haitou
✅ Answer ideas: the company's main business/brand culture/scale/platform advantages and highlights, as well as the fit with personal experience and job search direction
6️⃣ "Your professional experience is not relevant to this position, why did you choose this position?" ”
Subtext: You don't have a clear advantage for this position, you feel that you are not competent, and it is unstable to recruit you
✅ Answer ideas: Emphasize as much as possible your own ability related to the position + determination and planning for long-term development in this direction in the future
7️⃣ "What companies have you interviewed recently, and what stage are you at?" ”
Subtext: Look at how you are in the market, whether it is in demand, and judge in advance whether it is good to negotiate salary and reduce prices
✅ Answer ideas: This is to see if you just started to see the opportunity, if you just started you can say that you are interviewing for similar positions, if you have interviewed for a period and also got a few offers (not to mention the specific name of the company), this time the choice of work is still very cautious, the current intention of our company is still quite high, I hope to further advance
