. What is the interviewer’s intention when asking about shortcomings? What information does he want to capture?
Only when you understand why can you respond in a targeted manner,
Only then can you become the person who is qualified for the position in the interviewer's mind,
< p>You can get closer to the interview effect you want.The interviewer asks about your shortcomings because he wants to use external forces to observe you.
It is divided into general inspection and focused capture;
A. Universality Examination
The first is to examine whether you have the quality of courage.
A person who dares to face his own shortcomings and shortcomings generally has a character element. ——Brave,
For example:
You are a newcomer in the workplace, and you messed up a case,
You have bravery in your character element,
p>
You will have the courage to face your mistakes or even mistakes.
You will have the courage to overcome many difficulties and make corrections in order to make amends;
The second is Examine whether your shortcomings are a fatal flaw in your career,
No matter which company,
will not open the door to a person with a fatal flaw in your career,
For example:
The shortcoming of a typist is that his hands are handicapped,
As an interviewer, do you feel,
It’s too scary;
The third is to examine whether you have the critical thinking ability of self-insight.
When you "examine yourself three times a day" and have introspection,
you can have Sharper external observation,
For example:
Your boss made a strategic mistake, causing serious losses to the company,
But the boss reflected on himself in time and took action Stop losses,
and take the initiative to review mistakes,
but you will think that the company will have more room for growth;
The fourth is to examine whether you have the solution Ability to solve problems,
Faced with emergencies,
Good emergency response ability is your bonus point,
For example:
You accompany your boss to sign a contract, but get stuck in a car accident.
You immediately plan another smooth route for your boss.
B. Emphasis Capture
An element that needs to be considered here is that it varies from person to person.
A breakdown of the interviews I have experienced, There are only four identities of interviewers:
The first is HR, the second is department head, the third is big BOSS, and the fourth is others.
This is just like playing dungeons all night long in college. Only by clearing the previous book and having the last laugh can you know what monsters and monsters are in the next book.
Of course, if you are lucky and encounter a hidden boss,
then I can only congratulate you, you have won the jackpot, and you will be frightened again.
Based on the difference in identity, the purpose of asking this question is also different.
The information it wants to capture has different emphasis.
When HR asks you about your shortcomings, the bottom line is just two words: truth.
It wants to verify whether your resume is exaggerated or even falsified.
Is you the person you appear on your resume?
You Is it possible for you to not be PASSed by me and recommend you to proceed to the next interview session?
When the department head asks you about your shortcomings, the intention is the same word: risk.
Everyone has this mentality, and they don’t worry about things that don’t concern themselves.
HR may not care about many details for you,
but As your direct supervisor in your future work,
I will definitely focus on the details and want to strip you naked.
My eyes have built-in X-rays to see thoroughly.
What it cares about is whether it will cause a lot of trouble for itself by using you.
It will bring back a troublemaker and take risks for a lot of trouble.
How loyal or disloyal you are to me? Are you still in the Cao camp and your heart is in the Han Dynasty?
Your work skills are not up to par. Can you be entrusted with important tasks?
Are you arrogant and show off, will you hold back labor and management?
The kind of person who talks a lot about things, or can't do without "I am very strong, I will beat you ten times" in three sentences,
The interviewer has not thrown a knife to you. , I can only say "admire".
When the big boss asks you about your shortcomings, the intention is still two words: benefits.
Labour and management only care about what benefits you can bring to me after recruiting you.
Will you waste the resources I invested in you?
Are you worth the money I spend to train you?
When others ask you about your shortcomings, the intention is still two words, emotional intelligence.
The identity of these other people is relatively broad.
It is nothing more than people who will be contacted in the future work and those who assist in troubles.
They care about The most important thing is whether your emotional intelligence is up to standard.
Would you be petty and fussy about doing things together?
Would you just share the pot and not do anything when something goes wrong?
If you can’t even reach the passing mark, then what’s the point of staying here during the New Year?
2. First figure out what are the shortcomings? Then answer the interviewer about your shortcomings.
What is a shortcoming seems simple, but there is never a standard answer.
After all, humans are all emotional animals, and the shortcomings of people are also emotional.
For example:
You confess to the girl you have a crush on, and the girl asks you what you think of Sister Lin and Sister Xue,
You say you don’t like them. Sister Lin, do you think Sister Xue is the one who has the spirit of life?
And the young lady you like, stare at her,
Labour and management like Sister Lin’s literary spirit. What do you like? What the hell, get out of here.
The young lady asked you to talk about Lin and Xue, but your answer did not meet its expectations.
In its eyes, you only have shortcomings.
So, if your answer to the interviewer's shortcomings exceeds the expected limit,
It's really like the girl you like looks at you, with flaws all over your body. ,
Whenever the interviewer asks you about your shortcomings, you have to cheer up,
(As an aside, you have to go all out for every question in the interview)
p>
List your shortcomings one by one in your mind, and go through them carefully.
Find out the identity of the person, whether it is HR or department head, a big BOSS or something else,
< p>See what people are playing, follow their favorites, talk to people when you see them, and talk to ghosts when you see them.What minefields do you need to avoid?
I have summarized four minefields, which are relatively common:
Minefield One: Do not lie, be moderately sincere
On the one hand, your shortcomings To make it feel real,
This is really not about chicken soup to gain sympathy,
Why? It's very simple,
Because you said your shortcomings make it feel real,
This can prove that your advantages are real,
Once it discovers that you are When you talk about shortcomings, you lie.
If I were the interviewer,
I would immediately think that the advantages you mentioned earlier are also false.
You Your resume is also a lie, and you are a waste.
Don’t let the lies create the image of Liu Adou who cannot be supported.
Avoid letting it create such a sense of substitution;< /p>
On the other hand, sincerity must be moderate.
When someone asks you about your shortcomings, you list thirty or forty of them as soon as you open your mouth.
Tamar’s labor is not a recruitment The person with the most shortcomings,
Don’t be a short-sighted person.
Don’t let your excessive sincerity scare your interviewer.
It scares the interviewer. It doesn't matter if you peed, what matters is that you are out of luck.
Minefield 2: Don’t let others label you
Once a label is attached to you, it will set a certain shape for you,
You can’t even throw it away. .
So, when you talk about your shortcomings,
Don’t give others the opportunity to label you.
The opportunity is in your own hands,
p>
Whether you can grasp it or not depends on your brain.
Minefield 3: Don’t be too smart
When someone asks you about your shortcomings, the first thing you say is:
“I have no shortcomings”
"My biggest shortcoming is that I work hard"
"My friends always say that I am good at everything, but I love helping people so much. If anyone has a problem, I have to help"
p>If you dare to say confidently that you have no shortcomings, I admire your shamelessness.
If you dare to say that your shortcoming is working hard, I am afraid that you will die suddenly.
Dare to say My shortcoming is that I like to help others, and I am not recruiting a philanthropist to show off.
In business, recruiting people is like talking about business.
Sign Agreements, value exchanges, and the rest are bullshit.
Don’t come here if you are vain. We are a small temple.
We can’t afford Wang Po, a great god like you, and you can’t sell what you boast about. melon.
Minefield Four: Avoid self-exposure and excessive force
A person’s shortcomings can be roughly divided into:
Three outlooks, personality, thinking and cognition, There are four major categories of skills and knowledge.
Among them, three views and personality generally take more than ten or twenty years to settle.
It takes a long time and is difficult to correct.
Thinking, cognition, and technical knowledge are generally developed over a period of several years or even months.
It lasts a short time and is easy to correct.
No one can handle this category. Understand the degree of self-exposure.
If you still don’t understand, then look at the set of examples I gave below:
A statement:
“I This person is a bit introverted and not very good at dealing with people. He still has some shortcomings in terms of personality."
B's statement:
"I just came out of the ivory tower. The way of thinking needs to be improved, and I will look at problems as a student from time to time. I know that this is a taboo for professionals."
Comparing the two statements, is it a matter of opinion?
Shortcomings in outlook and character are, to say the least serious,
It is inevitable that they will be incomplete and conservative.
Shortcomings in thinking, cognition, skills and knowledge,
No matter how much you add, it will not rise to the level of a defect.
It can be improved by checking for leaks and filling in the gaps.
So, when self-exposure, Choose the lesser of the two deficiencies,
try to avoid three outlooks and character flaws,
talk about thinking, cognition, skills and knowledge that are easy to improve.
4. What internal skills and mental methods should you master?
I have said so much before, which is all to pave the way for this step.
(No, I have to drink water to moisten my throat)
Wake up Brain, keep looking with your eyes wide open.
First of all, let me say something that you have to engrave into your mind:
Interviews are about skills and strategies.
Don’t talk about routines or poisonous chicken soup.
Recite this sentence silently three times, remember it firmly, and use it whenever you want.
Okay, let’s get to the point and show you all your unique skills.
Brother Guo has his own inner strength and mental skills
I give you the eight-character mantra,
Truth, ability, rhythm, cases
Mantra 1: Truth
I mentioned the word truth repeatedly,
When talking about intention, I said Truth, I also say truth when talking about minefields.
I still talk about truth when talking about inner strength and mental methods.
It can be seen that the word truth plays a big role in the interview.
Only speed in martial arts in the world can be defeated,
And "reality" is the whetstone for this "speed".
How to make the listener feel real?
First of all, you must have real people and real feelings.
You don’t have to worry about whether this is your own or you can learn from it. friends and classmates,
Because, whether it is your own or what you see,
you will believe that what you say is true,
Only by convincing yourself can you convince others and create impact.
Secondly, moderate language modification is necessary.
Moderate language modification not only needs to package your language, but more importantly, it must use language to The listener creates an environment and makes it immersive.
Example:
You can give it an intuitive feeling through story narration,
illustrate it vividly and concretely, abandon those abstract descriptions,
Because it will only blur your characteristics and make you the same as everyone who has this shortcoming.
The shortcomings are the same, and people are all the same,
Can't tell the difference Zhang San Li Si Wang Mazi, isn’t this embarrassing?
So, your words must not only distract your heart, but also your kidneys.
With a rush of adrenaline, you are also a distinctive person. ,
The chance of passing the interview will naturally be greater,
(off-topic: Don’t make yourself too distinctive, and don’t overdo anything)
Mantra 2 : Ability
In other words, you must not only point out your own shortcomings,
but also provide solutions and demonstrate your abilities.
You have to make yourself believe "Yes, I have this shortcoming, but it does not affect this work"
And project this impression into the interviewer's mind,
For example, this Your job is new media operation.
The company mainly wants you to do the layout of the WeChat official account.
But you said that your shortcoming is that you are not good at the layout of the WeChat official account. Isn’t that fucked?< /p>
As for the actual situation,
it is often that this shortcoming of yours does not conflict with the main business of your work.
It may have a little impact,< /p>
Then you have to tell it about this shortcoming,
state that you will minimize the impact of this shortcoming through actions,
and overcome it in the shortest possible time Disadvantages,
In short, it is to give your solution,
Including how to overcome this shortcoming,
How to implement it into specific operations,
p>
Example:
You went to interview the user operator of the "Planet Research Institute" public account,
You told it:
"Because of Due to work, I don’t often use the ArcGIS platform and ArcMap components.
I have used them based on personal hobbies, but the operation is not smooth.
But since paying attention to this interview,
I bought operational books and found practical videos for in-depth learning,
I spent two hours every night in Q&A communities such as ArcGIS Zhihu,
Read the technology sharing from friendly netizens,
At the same time, I will put my self-study doubts in the knowledge question and answer section to get help from product users.
The recent purposeful research and study also made me The operation is getting smoother and smoother."
Such words not only show your love for this job, but also your determination. Efforts to overcome shortcomings,
You have a systematic solution in your heart to solve the problems,
In short, no matter what position you are interviewing for and what shortcomings you mention,
p>
You have to make the interviewer think that you are not a giant in thought, but a dwarf in action.
You must know that discovering shortcomings is a matter of skill, and solving them is Ability,
In a company, there will be many people who can find problems,
but there will never be many people who can find and solve problems,
If you You have the ability to solve problems, but are you afraid that a shortcoming will trip you up?
Mantra 3: Rhythm
What does rhythm mean? The more I talk about it, the more confused I become.
To put it bluntly, it means avoiding the important and choosing the light.
But I Avoiding the important and minimizing the important is not what some respondents said.
Avoid the areas in which your interviewer is good at and focus on the areas he is not proficient in.
I don’t agree with this method of avoiding the important and minimizing the important. Yes,
A little clever, fake elf,
One mistake will lead you into a ditch, and the boat will capsize in the ditch,
My avoidance of the most important thing means,
Don’t let it always talk about your shortcomings.
You have to talk to it about what you know and what you are good at.
Let it It creates a feeling
"Yes, this young man is indeed weak in this aspect,
but his advantages in other aspects can far make up for his disadvantages in this aspect"
You cannot be led into its rhythm, stuck in it and unable to get out.
You have to use your subconscious mind to guide it and disrupt its rhythm when answering.
Lead it It moves with its nose, cleverly transitioning from talking about shortcomings to talking about your advantages,
Mantra 4: Cases
I have said so much before, it is a bit like a white wolf with empty hands,
Mantra 4: Cases
p>
Then you have to throw out some meat,
to attract it and show it that you are very active in correcting shortcomings and optimizing all-round capabilities. Man,
You are a very growth-oriented person.
For example:
You give it a shortcoming that you have had before,
The efforts you made in correcting the shortcoming,
Make a case and tell it.
Find out the four major intentions, prepare four lightning rods, and use four mantras.
Are you still afraid that the offer will not come to you?
That’s it for the useful information,
I wish you all a dazzling red envelope and a soft offer,
