什么是个人面试

所谓个人面试,即主考官与求职者单独面谈。这是一种最普遍的、最基本的方式。这类面试的优点是能够提供一个面对面的机会,让双方较深入地了解,可以就细节与个人特殊问题交换意见。在个人面试中又有两种类型:一是只有一个主考负责整个过程。这种面试大多在较小规模的机构里或征聘职位较低的职员时采用;当应聘人太多时,也会采取这种方法进行初选,例如在逐步面试与依序面试中,都可能采取这种形式。二是由多人分工负责面试的整个过程,但每次均由一个主考官与求职者面谈。

怎样应付关于个人性格的问题

谈个人情况是面试的第一阶段,问题比较轻松、简单,目的是使面试及应试双方松弛下来,并打开话题。自我介绍前应考虑对方最想知道什么,然后重点作答,不要说没有用的话题。

当被问及自己的性格时,无论是外向还是内向,应以正面角度评价自己,这才显得有自信。此外,有些雇主会问应聘者最爱和哪类人合作,这其实是用另一种方法去考察应聘者的性格,因为喜欢和哪类人合作可以反映应聘者是哪类人。

这些也是考查求职者适应工作的能力,因为这些虽不是专业知识,但基本素质与技能是对任何工作都有效的。这里的基本素质与技能范围很广,如组织能力、交际能力、协调能力、主动性、灵活性、创造性、竞争性、适应性、责任心、自信心等。

乙:没有了,谢谢。

关于薪酬的洽谈技巧

薪酬洽谈技巧:

1.依公司的规定。对于一般的大学毕业生,由于工作能力及表现都无任何记录,因此没有多少谈判的空间。对他们来说,跨进门槛是最重要的,对薪酬不要提出过多的要求。

2.提出一个合理的行情范围。可根据公司的“底薪”、“月薪”、“住房”、“假期”等情况,考虑薪酬的多少,不要一味强调月薪的多少,要综合各种因素决定。

3.重视学习经验而不强调薪水,如果大学毕业生进入有名的公司,学会他们的规范操作和管理,提升个人素质,就算职位低,工资低也无妨。
