[分享] 写下一些应聘公司的面试经验

seafood

在今年4月经济不太景气时开始跳槽找新工作，7月中拿到OFFER，是比较大的公司之一，薪资和成长环境还不错。希望我一些浅薄经验，对参加大公司面试的人有帮助。

整个面试过程比较煎熬，前后长达一个月。
第1周电话INTERVIEW，谈了约半小时；第2周第一次面试，面试好后让我参加Psychometric Test，测试verbal reasoning skill & numerical skill，题目并不难，但是20分钟做20道题，几乎没有思考的时间。
第3周HR打电话来向我的雇主check reference （此时并未到最终录用阶段）。
第4周：Final Interview，最后一轮面试过后再度check reference！
然后，终于到录用的电话。

什么有耐心，坚持、着装仪表之类的老生长谈/common sense我就不多说了，找工作很多时候都是运气问题，并非你能力不行，所以永远不要失去信心。

每次面试都是一次经验累积，其实问来问去无非就是那些问题。
面试参加多了，自然准备得充分。
我指的充分，不是天马行空地想像一下对方可能会问什么就OK，而是打开WORD，把能搜到INTERVIEW Q 全部COPY下来，一一针对每个问题写下答案，充分组织好你的语言，斟酌好回答时的语气。
即使是KIWI，若无准备，对突无其来的问题也会一脸空白。更何况是我们，不管在NZ呆了多久，ENG有多流利，若真想给面试者留下好印象，必须胸有成竹。

在得到这个OFFER之前，我参加了三次面试，基本每次面试，都会有一些令我措手不及的问题或我表现不佳的问题，当时虽然有些小狼狈，但也是一种锻炼，等到第4次面试，我发现他们的问题我全都准备过，有些也曾经在之前的面试出现过。

以下是我总结的一些比较常见的面试问题，希望能有所帮助。

>What do you know about the organisation ?
基本都会问到。

>What attracts/motivate you to this role?
要针对他们的JOB ADS来回答，我的答案是friendly working environments, unique company culture（我有朋友在这家公司，所以很清楚他们的culture）

>Why did you leave your last job?
I really enjoy working at my company & do appreciate the skill developed so far, however, just being in the position over *** yrs, I feel the challenge I am facing is not enough to keep me motivated, my skill set and potential hasn’t been fully utilised, beside…

Don't say anything bad here!

> What do you consider the most note worthy accomplishment?
>Tell me about a time when you have encountered conflict in the workplace? How do you handle conflict in workplace?

以下是比较教条的回答，具体的自己想，你肯定跟别人有过各种各样的CONFLICT

a: Always Be Respectful and maintain a professional manner.
Everyone is different (different opinion, value and different way of doing things), it is important that you only look at facts, not against personal. Never confront it with negativity and a desire to complain.

b. Be Solution Oriented: find out what’s the source of conflict, eg. lack of understanding? Conflict of interest/Power?

c. Open to compromise and negotiation if necessary.
Let interviewer knows that you are open to compromise!

d: Ask a third Party to Mediate: If aren’t getting anywhere, will invite a neutral, third party to help mediate, or talk to supervisor?

> Tell me about a time when you had to deal with a difficult colleague. What did you do and what was the outcome?

以下是HR告诉我应该怎样回答这种问题，先介绍SITUATION，说明TASK，然后说明你的ACTION，再是RESULT。以下是很简单的一个例子

Situation: used to have a colleague working together, she was very reluctant to accept any changes, doesn’t matter it’s minor or major. We were planning to install new PAYROLL software to replace ***,  auto A/L accumulation, she refused to adopt it even the working efficiency could be improved by at least 50%.
Tasks: the new software had to be installed before the end of financial year
Action:

• be patient, listen to her carefully, answered all her questions and concerns regarding the new software.
• Proposed a parallel system for the first month to see the result.

Results: she was convinced, positive outcome.

>Give me an example to develop team relationship in a difficult situation/ How to build up team relationship in workplace ?

大公司中TEAMWORK&RELATIONSHIP非常重要，很多PERFORMANCE REVIEW都是看整个TEAM的成绩，而不是个人的成绩，他们会很注意你的回答。
这个问题我曾被问到过两次，迄今也不太确定怎样才算是比较好的回答，只能列出几点

• When working as part of a team it is very important to support others and cooperate rather than compete.
• Understanding others, being tolerant and sensitive to their feelings, treating them fairly and ethically
• Always read to help when needed

> How Do You Handle Stress ?
我的工作环境是deadline-driven, 所以我的回答是always organise stuff in advance, prioritising tasks.
> What value would you see yourself to add into this organization ？
我的回答比较强调INTEGRITY & COMMITMENT

>Why you are the best applicants for this job?
这里你要强调你的uniqueness

>What challenge do you see yourself in the position?
>What is Your Greatest Strength
>What is Your Greatest Weakness
>What are you looking for in your next job?
What Were Your Expectations for the Job?
>What provide you with a sense of accomplishment /what motivates you?

以上是最好能充分准备的问题，都是面试中的常见题。
以下问题我并没有被问到，但谁能保证你不会被问到呢？
> Tell me about a time when you failed?
>What are the Most Difficult Decisions to Make?
> What Did You Like Your Previous Job?
> What do you dislike your current job?
>What type of work environment do you prefer?
>How do you balance life and work?

英文好相当关键，准备也很重要，此外，还需要运气。

对我来说，我只经历了递CV，等待（等了很久，几个月！当我都要遗忘的时候，经理来电话了），面试，等待做reference check, credit check, criminal check，然后就让我上班了。

对于一个没有经历过面试的人来说，HR是俺的克星，净问一些不产生效益的问题，回答一些自己也不怎么相信的答案。不过，没办法，大家都是打工，HR问些他们自己可能都不信的问题是工作；我们回答一些自己都不信的答案也是得到工作的过程。

上份工作都干了一个月了，老板忽然问我：没看过你的简历，拿一份来备案。我说：好多年没更新了，过两天给你。

跟我的程序差不多，中介电话interview,中介面试，公司两次面试，面试好后参加Psychometric Test，测试verbal reasoning skill numerical skill，最后reference check.其实口语好挺重要的，我不敢说我的英文很好，不过没什么口音，面试的时候基本都很顺利~~除非经验不够的没办法。。。

完全属于自己

为什么没有上热门加精华？难道论坛都讨论些没有价值的topic？

口音不是太太重要，最最重要的是你能说出东西来。

建议此帖入精华啊, 真的不错, 学到很多东西, 收藏~~~

一定要幸福

建议不知道怎么回答一些问题时，可以去问问你以前老板，毕竟这些team work的东西，他可能会解释一些整个团队是怎样运作的流程给你听，你到时候回答key word就好了。而且熟了的话，可以问问面试官想听到什么答案啊之类。

I just went to an interview this morning.
No phone interview before, today is the first time interview.
Take 1 hour.
At last, ask my salary expectation and how many weeks notice I need to tell my current employer,
I feel they asked anything can be asked.

I dont know if I need to or can go the 2nd or 3rd interview.

同意，很多时候找工作只是运气而已。

I was involved in the recruitment process for our new trader a coupe of months ago, I was sitting on the final run interview pannel, before the final run, the candidates need to go through tele inteview, first run face to face interview and verbal reasoning/numerical/psychy tests. All candidates in the final interview are outstanding in my mind, but we finally chose the one who mostly matched my personality and our salary band for this job.

I think the information the candidate provided is crucial at some stage, ie. salary expectataion, career development plan and so on. At final interview, when all candidates are very competitive, these informations will be used for final decision making.

这个帖子不错，感谢楼主分享

其实如果你的SALARY EXPECTATION 超过了他们事先计划的SALARY RANGE的话，然后他们对你又很满意，通常会和你协商的。
还有一般来讲，他们工资幅度很大，很大程度是取绝于你之前和现在的工作的工资。

很简单的道理，你在面试的时候通常会被问你为什么想跳槽，对之前的工作有什么看法。一般我们会回答，现在的工作更合适自己更有挑战，虽然之前的工作也很好（最好不要说之前的工作和公司的坏话）。
然后他会问你的工资要求，你没有道理说哪怕比以前少我都干。
