Interviewer: What is washed and no one eats it, only eats it without washing it? The female graduate student was successfully admitted
When we have just graduated and entered the workplace and want to find a job that we like or are suitable for, or when we have been working for a period of time and want to change jobs for salary improvement, we generally need to participate in the interview of the target company first. Only when you are satisfied with the interviewer during the interview can you get the opportunity to take up a job in this position and achieve stable growth and development in this position.
During the interview, the interviewer usually asks questions to get the information they want to judge whether we have the ability to work in this position. First of all, the interviewer will ask some basic personal information, such as graduate school, age, place of origin, etc., and secondly, they will ask some questions related to the job position, such as majors studied, abilities and specialties, etc., based on which to make judgments .
The general interview is over here, but occasionally some interviewers will ask some strange questions. They are mainly recruiting some special positions, such as creative positions or sales positions, which require job seekers to think more flexible, The ability to adapt is stronger, so that it is more likely to achieve better work results.
In one company, the last two candidates left after several rounds of interviews are being interviewed. After the interviewer called the first job applicant in, he asked her a question: "What is washed and no one eats it, unless it is washed?"
The first job seeker was a female graduate student. After hearing this question, she didn't stay stunned, but after a quick thought, she answered ingeniously: "I think many things in life can be eaten without washing. , such as ice cream, various packaged snacks, etc., all do not need to be washed."
In fact, the answer in the interviewer's mind was "water", but after hearing the female graduate student's answer, he was stunned and found that it was true. So he smiled and nodded, and asked the female graduate student to go out and wait for a while.
The interviewer called a second candidate in and asked the same question. The second job applicant, an undergraduate student, thought hard for a while after hearing this question.
When the interviewer was impatient and was about to stop, the undergraduate finally said: "Water! I think it is water. You can't eat it after washing it. You can only eat it when you haven't washed it." The interviewer regretted Said: "The answer you said makes sense, but unfortunately your answer is too slow, unfortunately, we can't admit you."
Upon hearing the news, the undergraduates walked away sadly. Then the interviewer called the female graduate student in again: "Your answer is different from what I expected, but you have provided a new way of thinking, and we like it very much. We believe that you are competent for our creative design position. I've been accepted." The female graduate student was very happy when she heard the news, so she agreed with the interviewer when she would arrive, and then left the interview company and went back to prepare for the job.
1. Get rid of the old thinking frame
From the above story, we can see the inspiration is to know how to get rid of the framework of old thinking, in order to be able to come up with an eye-catching answer. In the above question, the interviewer's preset answer is water, but the female graduate student looked at this question with a different way of thinking, and was not limited by this question in a framework, so she answered a more brilliant answer, and finally The interviewer will choose to admit her.
Second, the response should be rapid
Secondly, the revelation we can also draw is that during the interview, our response should be quicker. In fact, the interview also has a rhythm of communication. If we do not respond, this rhythm will be interrupted, resulting in a cold scene, which will leave a bad impression on the interviewer. This is the case with the second job applicant mentioned above, which caused him to fail the interview.
