For the interview, we only have 10 minutes
Thread Content
A human resources manager at a group company said that the time he spends recruiting talent is 5 minutes, plus another 5 minutes for the candidate to enter his office, sit down, and have a brief informal conversation; in total, it doesn’t exceed 10 minutes. In other words, it takes just 10 minutes for a company to decide whether to hire someone or not. All successes and failures are concentrated here. He said that over 70% of the applicants who enter his office do not first say hello" ； Over 50% of the applicants were not neatly dressed ； 30% of the applicants are nervous ； 20% of the applicants had their eyes wandering. What else is there to say? Let them go! Everyone has only 10 minutes, and he lost in the first 5 minutes. After reading the above, thinking about myself and those around me, I am fully convinced that most applicants are indeed like this. When it comes to seeking a job, it seems everyone should learn from the peacock – to make the whole world remember their best side in just 10 minutes. It seems contrary to Chinese tradition for everyone to spend 10 minutes showing off their beauty like peacocks; we prefer to believe in the ideas that \"true character is revealed over time\" and that \"lasting relationships are built through steady efforts.\" But in modern industry, where work time is measured in seconds and minutes, you don’t have more time to show what you can do. You are excellent, but you need to know that you only have very little time – 10 minutes, or even less. This post was last edited by shiyu8110 on 2009-4-8 10:45.]
Strongly agree! In fact, that’s exactly what big companies are like as I’ve seen them! This post was last edited by Yuwan 007 on 2009-4-8 19:22.]
I think such interviewers are unqualified. Different positions have different requirements, and feeling nervous is a normal reaction; after all, most job seekers are in a weaker position compared to the employers.
This shows that what companies need are truly capable people
10 minutes is enough. One minute on stage requires 10 years of practice off stage. How many really have 10 years of experience? ? Indeed, there’s often no need to waste time! ! ! !
It depends on the specific candidate and the company they are applying to. Reputable large companies are usually punctual, but some state-owned enterprises may not be so punctual
That makes sense; this is what a real interview should be like. It’s not like in some companies, where it’s mainly the recruiter who talks and then the contract is signed, especially in state-owned enterprises: L
I think it’s natural to feel nervous; if a candidate has high expectations for the company they are applying to and hopes to seize this opportunity, it’s only right that they feel nervous； If he just views this interview as something casual, then there’s no need to feel nervous
Well, finding an actor will definitely help things go smoothly. Is the company looking for actors? It doesn’t seem so; only companies that can pretend to need talent would act like this. Proper recruitment shouldn’t work this way. Many companies require five or six rounds of screening. I suggest judging a company based on these ten minutes – it’s better not to work there~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why have we had so many rounds of meetings? . . . . It would be great if interviews were all only 10 minutes long, but unfortunately that’s not very realistic. So everyone should try to relax and show their best side; different people are suited for different positions.
The essence of this statement is correct, but in practice, it’s indeed a bit hasty to judge a person’s merits and demerits, as well as whether they are the kind of talent the company needs, based on just 10 minutes. “He said that over 70% of the applicants who enter his office do not first say hello" ； Over 50% of the applicants were not neatly dressed ； 30% of the applicants are nervous ； 20% of the applicants had their eyes wandering. What else is there to say? Let them go! Everyone has only 10 minutes, and he lost in the first 5 minutes. ”This passage is indeed worth learning from*. Leaving aside the reliability of the data for now, the issues it points out are certainly worth careful consideration. It’s hard to find a job these days; it’s more accurate to say that universities are too easy to get into. Many issues deserve our careful consideration. I think as long as I improve my personal qualities and enhance my professional skills, it shouldn’t be difficult to find a job. It’s just that many people follow the crowd and are unable to stand out on their own~~~~~
The original poster wrote very well. :Handshake: We need to make sure that the interviewer remembers us within these short ten minutes, by presenting ourselves in a confident and appropriate manner!
