It's foggy, disorganized, rambling, and talking nonsense. But in fact, the interviewer's questions are not that scary. Although each company's questions are varied and ever-changing, they remain the same. All the questions raised have a clear purpose. The so-called "wonder of application" ", it's all about being single-minded."

While you can respond to various questions flexibly and flexibly, you must also be able to sell yourself, so that you can easily pass the test and succeed immediately. This is a magic weapon for interviews.
The following are some classic common interview questions. From different types and angles, when examining the personal qualities of a candidate, we might as well analyze the general questioning methods of interviewers, so that we can know ourselves and the enemy and be invincible in every battle.

When answering, the starting point must be from the perspective of leadership and a responsible attitude toward work: As a person who specifically performs work tasks, I will obey the arrangements of my superiors and do it as soon as possible. In an attitude of being responsible for my work, I will provide necessary information and reminders to my superiors based on the actual work conditions. I also discussed with the two leaders separately the reasonable opinions of the leader and the other leader without anyone else, and combined their reasonable opinions to give my suggestions on this issue, so that they could all consider the actual situation. and the other person’s opinions and embraced my ideas. ?In this way, the interviewer will think that you are responsible, smart, and obedient to leadership.

This time I passed the professional assessment and the consultation diagnosis showed that I am more suitable for sales. Moreover, I have a cheerful personality and strong affinity. Therefore, I think I am fully qualified for your company's computer market development work. ?In this way, not only did you mention your shortcomings such as not being interested in biology, not learning the major well, but you also presented the reasonable suggestions given by the consultant, which attracted the attention of the interviewer.
3. Tell us about your biggest successes and failures in your life journey?
Expert comments: This question is very common, but it can effectively reflect the depth and breadth of a person's life history. The subsequent questions can judge the depth and understanding of your thoughts. For example: If you can only answer something like the college entrance examination and cried for several days because you failed to get into a satisfactory university, then it is easy to judge that you are a person with simple experiences and cannot bear adversity. Therefore, when you talk about the most successful thing, you should talk about the experience and sublimation gained from the success, but do not talk about it with excitement and boastfulness, which will give the interviewer a feeling of being shallow and arrogant; talk about the most failed thing. When interviewing, talk about the lessons learned from failure and the process of overcoming failure.

5. What should you do if MSRA and another company offer you Office at the same time?
