Failure is the mother of success. Now let's look at six cases of failed interviews, which may help you when you are looking for a job.

I made a mistake and lost the first game.

Xiaoqi, female, 24 years old, major: accounting.

At that time, I received an interview notice from a well-known high-paying enterprise. This makes me both happy and nervous, because I have never had an interview experience. I stayed in the library for several nights, eating books such as Easy Interview and Interview Highlights, which made me dizzy.

The day of the real interview has finally come. I didn't know until I entered the examination room that the other five people I interviewed with were all boys. The examination room is a small conference room with a round table in the middle. The examiner sat on one side of the round table and several of us sat on the other side. The waiter brought six glasses of water, and several other boys directly picked up the cups in front of them and began to drink. On second thought, no, several examiners have no water to drink. How can we get there first? So I politely handed the cup to the nearest examiner.

"Still a girl is cautious." An examiner sitting in the middle said that several other boys who were drinking water suddenly became embarrassed and looked at each other. I am secretly smug and never forget to show a humble smile to the examiner.

Several examiners introduced the specific situation of the company's operation, and also talked about our major and our thoughts on the company. Because of the "drinking water incident" just now, several other boys were rather stiff, but I was laughing with the examiners. At this moment, the examiner sitting in the middle suddenly asked me an unexpected question: "Your resume says you can dance. What kind of dance can you dance? " I was confused at once. I did learn a little dance when I was a child, and I haven't learned any dance training since. If you tell the truth, you will lose face. So I lied that I could dance Xinjiang, and then I felt a little hot on my face. But the examiner asked me to pose casually. I was so embarrassed that I didn't know what to do from head to toe, so I stood up and turned around.

Finally, after the interview, the examiners walked out of the meeting room to discuss and called me out.

"According to your personality characteristics, we want to put you in the foreign affairs department, but we may need to win your account."

Hearing this sentence, I froze: "Didn't I promise to solve it?" I swallowed the second half of the sentence and felt worse and worse. If the hukou can't be solved, I may not apply at all ... I thought about it and bit my lower lip gently and said, "Otherwise, I'll discuss it with my parents."

The examiner suddenly paused, and I immediately realized that I seemed to have made a mistake.

"all right." He smiled and said, "But remember, don't say' discuss with mom and dad' in future interviews, because it will make you have no opinion, understand?"

I looked up at his eyes, full of sincerity. I realized that I had missed this opportunity.

Leave the tips out of the interview

Li Na, female, 24 years old, major: Bachelor of Law Interview Position: Secretary.

It is said that it is difficult to find a job now, and the recruitment information is overwhelming, but a good position is to find a needle in a haystack, so I set my goal very low from the beginning, but I didn't expect to fail. I studied law in college and have two years of medical experience. I should say that I still have some capital. I always think that applying for the position of secretary is a sure thing, so I don't care about other competitors.

I got familiar with my resume on the day of the interview and left without much preparation. When I arrived at the scene, I saw that there were already several applicants. It seems that they are all dressed up, still mumbling, obviously reviewing. Look at their seriousness, I have the sense of reality of competition. There are two interviewers, both of whom look very serious. As soon as I was stared at by their eyes, I panicked, my head involuntarily lowered, and I forgot all the prepared speeches, and my mind went blank. At this time, the older interviewer asked me to introduce myself. I almost memorized my resume. My tone is like a straight line, my voice is weak, and my hands are used to touching my hair. As soon as I finished, I knew that this period was over.

Another interviewer asked me, what are the advantages of applying for this position? This would have been a good opportunity. As long as I know my own advantages and experience, the probability of winning is still great. It happened that when I was nervous, my usual little tricks came out. I touched my hair for a while, touched my ears and wiped my nose ... I don't know where to put my hands. The two interviewers looked at me and frowned. They asked me two questions and asked me out.

Give others a chance to speak.

Ye Ting, male, 25 years old, major: international trade work: marketing planning.

There is a saying: treat yourself as a pearl and always fear the pain of being buried. I think I am the kind of person who thinks of myself as a pearl. It's almost a year since graduation. I don't know how much I invested in my resume, but my work is still flying in the sky. A friend gave me a good lesson yesterday, saying that I was too expressive and aggressive. Although I didn't admit it to his face, I thought about it myself.

Not long ago, I went to a famous company to apply for a job. This is the most formal recruitment I have ever experienced. It is said that hundreds of people submitted their resumes, and finally more than 30 people participated in the interview with me. Although I am in an environment where experts gather, I feel good about myself because I have gone through five levels and killed six generals. I am determined to win this job.

I don't know if I'm too confident or too nervous. I overslept the day of the interview. Fortunately, I was in the lower middle position. But being late affects the state after all. I was nervous before it was my turn.

At that time, we were divided into three groups to answer the interviewer's questions, and in order to avoid revealing the examination questions, the interviewer could not come out after entering. When I walked into the interview conference room, it was full of people, and they all looked confident. I think I have to be more active to stand out. So when answering questions, I always walk in front of others and say a few more words than others.

I remember very clearly, when the interviewer asked: What would you do if there were people among your colleagues who were not so easy to communicate with? Before others could speak, I rushed to answer: the most important thing is work. Everyone has his own personality, and there is no need to force it. During the whole interview, I answered two-thirds of the questions, and the more fluent I spoke, the more I forgot to converge. I could see that the other two members were not happy, but I thought the interview was an opportunity to show myself, so I didn't care.

As a result, I received a notice a week later and was euphemistically told not to take the second interview. Because the company thinks that I don't pay attention to team spirit and am too eager to express myself, which is not the talent they need.

I don't know how little it hurts me.

Bian Qi: Male, 28 years old, major: liberal arts interview position: editor.

Five years ago, I confidently participated in the recruitment of a big company, but the result ended in an unexpected failure. Now I am a personnel supervisor in the company and often participate in recruiting new people. Through the eyes of a recruiter, I can clearly realize my failure that year.

I am a liberal arts graduate. When I was a student, I used to be the deputy editor-in-chief of the school magazine. At the same time, I write articles in many magazines. I should say that I am very familiar with editing business. I think my application for the editor of the internal magazine is a shoo-in. Unexpectedly, I didn't know that my little ego hurt me.

That internal magazine belongs to a big international company. To tell the truth, I took a fancy to the popularity of this company and considered my development prospects in other aspects before applying. From the bottom of my heart, I have some disdain for the position of editor of internal periodicals, and think that I am more than enough to be an editor who does not distribute publications to the outside world. So there is not much preparation for the interview.

Unexpectedly, such a humble position in my opinion has attracted many applicants. Obviously, everyone is prepared with beautifully packaged personal materials in their hands. By contrast, my material looks dull-but I'm just worried that gold will shine. My strength is obvious, I think so.

At the beginning of the interview, a dozen interviewers sat at the round table and filled out a questionnaire to answer some questions, such as "How much do you know about our company, what are your personal hobbies, and what are your plans for the future". I didn't think this questionnaire reflected the professional level at all, so I answered it quickly, and then I looked around and looked at other slightly nervous candidates.

After all the questionnaires were handed in, the examiner came in and started a collective dialogue with us. First of all, introduce yourself. Many people explain their names, places of origin, majors, specialties, awards won, activities participated in and so on in detail. In my opinion, it is nothing new to step by step, and my clever personal introduction has really won the attention of the examiner. I am secretly happy.

The next step is to answer questions. At this time, I found that I made a mistake and didn't know the company carefully. All I know is the image that the company is well known to the public. I know very little about the company's business field, especially some technical progress issues, which is by no means the specialty of a liberal arts student. At this time, the advantages of those science students were highlighted. They took the initiative, and I was a little out of touch. Finally, when the examiner asked me about the professional knowledge of magazine editors, I seized the opportunity to gush. I saw the examiner listening attentively. I think I should be able to pass the exam!

Unfortunately, I waited hopefully for the news that I was not admitted. What hit me even more was that I learned that the company had admitted a girl majoring in engineering. My first reaction at that time was: the examiner is too poor!

When I was depressed, the class teacher talked to me. It turned out that he and the examiner who interviewed us were college classmates. The examiner told him that the reason why I was not admitted was not that my professional quality and personal ability were not good, but that I was not suitable for the position they recruited. They think that with my personality and self-expectation, I won't feel at ease at work. Besides, my spirit of cooperation with others seems to be very poor.

The teacher's words made me suddenly realize that before that, I totally blamed the examiner for the interview failure. The next interview, I learned a lesson, carefully prepared, and was successfully hired.

Knowing ourselves and knowing ourselves is the only way to fight a hundred battles.

Xu, male, 23 years old, major: School of International Trade, Ningbo University.

I was shopping with my good friend when the recruitment unit called me for an interview. At more than N job fairs, the tactic of "submitting more resumes" made me forget when I submitted this resume.

Back at school, I asked a local classmate in Ningbo. It turns out that this is a private English training school. At that time, I was "conceited", thinking that my big company had many interviews and solid basic skills, and such a small scene should be a cinch.

I came to the recruitment unit as promised and chatted with the director of the human resources department for a while before I realized that this was a junior high school English teacher's position. The director asked me a few questions about English briefly, and I answered them confidently. I thought that such a simple thing would test me. I don't think it is a problem to teach senior high school students my CET-6. Looks like the director is quite satisfied with me. He took me to a classroom full of students and asked me to give them a lesson about "spring". After receiving the chalk, I started my class with dignity. When I was intoxicated with the satisfaction of "preaching and teaching", the director signaled that I could end the lecture.

Just returned to the office, he and I chatted. He asked, "Do you know anything about our school?" "A little, you are a private foreign language training school," I replied. He asked again, "Do you know who will come to our training? Do you know the characteristics and teaching style of our school? " I am speechless. He said, "I'm afraid you don't know us very well. From the initial conversation, I feel that you are not ready for the position of English teacher. " I was shocked, only thinking that the art of cheating was very good, and it had long been seen through by the discerning.

He went on to say, "many of our students need to strengthen, and they are not interested in English themselves." After listening to your lecture just now, your professional level may have reached our requirements, but in teaching, you didn't interact with students at all, and you couldn't attract them to learn English. I'm afraid you're not used to it ... "I recognized the meaning of his words and got up to leave.

It's all the fault of "modesty"

Zhang Wei, female, 24 years old. Major: Law School: Hangzhou Commercial College.

I am a "soft outside and hard inside" person. I am very introverted, and I will be too nervous to speak in the face of strangers.

In the second half of senior year, everyone began to look for jobs. Introverted, forced by various pressures to send resumes everywhere. However, all the resumes that were sent in were nothing, which hit my self-confidence. Finally one day, a foreign trade company invested by Japanese businessmen called me for an interview.

In order to seize this opportunity, I specially learn from experienced predecessors. The practical experience of experts in various fields tells me that the interview must be modest and not too sharp. At the same time, we should find out the company's situation. Holding "Confucian classics", I began to search in the dark on the Internet. I searched all the information about the company online, and even I know the expressions that Japanese bosses like.

On the day of the interview, I dressed up to increase my confidence. A row of seemingly dignified people sat above the venue around the boss-like people, and the Japanese boss personally interviewed. God, this posture, my heart beats involuntarily. I quickly recalled my senior's face-to-face instruction and thought to myself: modesty, modesty, modesty. ...

After I stammered my self-introduction, the examiner began to formally "question" me. The first question choked me. He said, "What we are recruiting is a college degree. How did your undergraduate apply for this position? " I faltered and said, "I ... I think your company is very good and suits my major very well." "What's good about our company? There is a lot of work pressure here. You must often work overtime. Can you adapt? The probation period is only the basic salary of 800 yuan, and there are no other benefits. Can you accept it? " In the face of the examiner's rapid-fire and almost harsh questions, I was so nervous that my palms sweated. I only know how to use "yes", "yes" and "yes" to prove my sincerity.

Waiting for whether to enter the second interview, I took a long sigh of relief, feeling glad in my heart and thinking that the answer just now was very humble. Finally, at the moment of "sentencing", the examiner smiled and told me: "Little girl, your conditions are good, but you should be confident when you go to the interview in the future ..." I didn't listen to the next words. ...
