How can I tell if my interview is cold?

I interviewed six companies in the past two days and got satisfactory offers, so I will help you answer this question.

First, let's talk about the most unsuccessful interview:

After leaving, this is the first interview. I haven't been through the baptism of the interview for a long time, and at the same time, I am very introverted. On the day of the interview, I was still very nervous and not well prepared.

So, the conversation on the day of the interview is basically like this:

Interviewer: Briefly introduce yourself.

Me: My name is Xiao Li, from xxx. After graduating in 2016, I went to xx company in xx city. After working for two years, I still want to return to my hometown, so I came to the current urban development. I'm more of an introvert, yes, that's it.

(ps: Because the introduction is too brief, the interviewer probably has already started to give a negative score at this time, and also bluntly stated his personality flaws, which are all on the resume. Interview score -10)

Interviewer: ...? ? ? ? Can you describe your past work experience in detail?

Me: I mainly do two businesses in xx company, the operation of new media's own account and the launch of new media channels, such as Baijiahao, Toutiao, official account, etc.; later because of strategic adjustment, I was transferred to do it The content operation of the app.

Then, in addition to the maintenance and delivery of new media channels, my main work also did a lot of store operations. For example, store optimization, product launch, through train delivery, etc.

(ps: In fact, I feel good about myself and feel that everything has been said, but in fact, I haven’t mentioned the main point. Because in addition to the basic content of the job, these resumes are all there, without any data and ideas, and without letting the interviewer. See things other than the resume. For example, the delivery effect. The delivery case, etc. Interview points -10)

Although the interviewer was not very satisfied, I felt that she had not given up on me and continued to ask me a question.

Interviewer: In addition to content output, have you done any related event planning work in your work?

Me: Yes, the internal activities of our store and the interaction with fans organized by the official account were basically planned by me. I once planned an event. . . .

(ps: Planning is actually a bonus item. I was too nervous before and didn’t mention it. Fortunately, the interviewer asked, and it was repaired in time. The interview score is +5)

Interviewer: So what is the fan data of the official account you operated before? What about purchase conversion rates?

Me: That’s right, because it’s a new media that was created two years ago, I can’t remember exactly how many fans there are. However, our open rate is excellent, reaching 8%. I didn't follow up on the conversion rate, mainly the product operation, which I don't know.

(ps: Actually, I made a big taboo here. In the new media operation interview, I forgot the key data, and said that I could not get the data, but I was actually out. Interview score -15)

Interviewer: Can you show your previous work? Whether it's an event plan or an original article.

Me: Wait a minute, I'll have a look. (After turning on the phone for a long time, I found that all my previous documents were compressed and stored, so I could not display them directly. The interview score was -10 points). . . My works are all compressed files. I forgot to unzip them. Is it convenient for you to open them here?

Interviewer: ... you can send it to me, I'll take a look after the interview. (The interviewer is already very helpless, and there is a high probability that he will not watch it after the interview)

me: OK.

After posting the work

Interviewer: Have you learned about our company's products before?

Me: I have seen it on the company's official website and Tmall's flagship store before, and I have some understanding.

(It’s the same as not saying it. I didn’t know what I was thinking at the time. The topic the interviewer wanted to throw out was to consult the company’s products, and I didn’t get the point. Interview score -5)

Interviewer: Then what do you think our company should do if we want to do an online event?

Me: Because I know that the company is in the beauty industry, so I think xxxx

Interviewer: Okay, I have a general idea of ​​your situation. Do you have any questions for me?

Me: So, what are your expectations for this position?

Interviewer: xxxxxxx. . . Any other questions?

Me: no, thanks

(The overall dialogue is very hard, the interview score is -5)

Interviewer: So shall we be here first today? There is news to notify you.

Me: OK, thank you very much.

How can I tell if my interview is cold?

After an interview, a direct supervisor did not go to the upper department, and there was no HR to discuss salary, I knew I was cold.

After the interview, I reviewed my interview process, and I did not use my strengths at all. On the contrary, because he was too nervous, he exposed too many shortcomings of himself.

So I will write down my interview experience. Don't be like me, everyone. If you interview like this, you will really be passed directly.

Later, I seriously thought about it, this is not the case. So I collected all kinds of information to read the article, and found the official account of a professional companion to accompany you. This account is really omnipotent, with many face-to-face lessons and tips.

... The interview opportunities and offers I got later were basically based on the skills it provided, and I took the initiative to win.

How to say?

The main reason for being nervous is that you feel that your status is not equal and that the interviewer is considering you. In fact, when the interviewer is interviewing you, are you not interviewing this company? Put yourself in the right position, the interviewer is on an equal footing with you, and chat like a friend.

This successful experience was also in the morning. When the interviewer asked me to introduce myself, I took the initiative to take this opportunity to tell a complete story of my work experience. At the same time, when narrating, specific data and practical ideas are given, and the works are properly displayed. (Of course, not the compressed package)

At the same time, for the company's current products, through the communication with the interviewer, he gave his own views and ideas, whether it is the selling point or the event planning for the selling point, etc., just like two colleagues are constantly exploring problems and ideas.

From traffic acquisition means to conversion monitoring of various channels. The whole conversation was about the ideas and ideas we gave based on our past experience, and we talked very well. In this way, the morning passed, and at noon, the HR interviewed and talked about the expected salary and so on. In the afternoon, the offer was received logically.

Whether the interview is cool or not, I think it can be seen from two angles. First, it depends on the duration and rounds of your interview. If you are alone, you are not the CEO or decision maker of the company. The time is too short, and it is basically cold. Second, I think it depends on the chatting process and atmosphere. If the atmosphere is right, and everyone is in a brainstorming situation during the chatting process, there is a high probability that they will be admitted.

In addition, let me add another sentence, it doesn't matter if you don't have an interview, go to read more materials, learn skills, adjust your mentality, and you will eventually succeed.
