Why did you talk so well to HR and end up losing the job? In the process of finding a job, the interview is a very important part of the process, which directly affects whether the candidate can finally enter the company. And there is a phenomenon that I believe many people have encountered, why did they have a good HR chat, and why did they lose the election in the end?
After you, a more suitable person appears
In fact, many people say that they feel that the interview went smoothly, and HR and the boss are also very satisfied with themselves, these are just the personal feelings of the interviewee, and HR may not really be as satisfied with you as you think.
Of course, maybe you are not delusional, HR may be really happy with you, but then someone more suitable than you appears, so you are eliminated.
Businesses are reluctant to pay such high wages
HR is satisfied with your conditions is only one aspect, he also has to estimate your salary for your value. If the gap between your expected salary and what the company is willing to pay is too large, no matter how good you are, the company will not hire you.
In fact, it was just a polite greeting
This also has a lot to do with the personality of HR, and some HR people are enthusiastic and hearty and like to communicate with people. They can create a pleasant conversation atmosphere when they talk to anyone, which is one of the ways to increase the interviewee's liking for themselves – this reminds me of the joke that the biggest illusion in the world is "he likes me". HR is more enthusiastic about people out of politeness, and you mistake it for being satisfied with yourself.
Once you've left the interview venue, you're no longer in control of the outcome of the interview. Maybe the company has no recruitment plan at all, and people are just making a talent reserve; Maybe people are just using the name of recruitment to expand their popularity and make a live advertisement; Maybe this position has already been determined by the leader's relatives, and the interview is just a procedure... As a job seeker, you don't need to spend too much time wondering why you didn't pass the interview, if you really want to know the result, you can call the other party to confirm, know what you are not suitable for, and learn from the experience in the subsequent interview.
Can you take the initiative to ask the interview results, as a job seeker, you are often more passive, instead of waiting, it is better to take the initiative, there is no news a few days after the interview, can you take the initiative to ask the interview results? There are also skills in asking, so let's take a look.
Can I take the initiative to ask about the results of the interview?
Want!
If you care about the job and HR hasn't replied to you at the appointed time (usually within 7 days), you can politely ask about the results.
1. Doing nothing is not beneficial
Everyone has looked for a job, and I know that job seekers are nervous and nervous after the interview, and they feel that they have hope while they are afraid of failing the interview, and I especially understand the reason why everyone is entangled in not taking the initiative to ask:
(1) HR usually gives too much time to wait for notice, and asking before the deadline is reached, which will appear too anxious and disrupt the balance;
(2) Afraid that you will leave a bad impression on the other party because of your inappropriate words and deeds, it is better not to ask;
(3) Relatively vulnerable, afraid of facing rejection, and choosing to escape.
Here I want to tell you that these concerns are really unnecessary, the interview performance determines your interview results, ask or not, the results are there, and it is useless to escape. If you don't ask for results, you may be waiting for a notification to be:
Unsure whether your performance is OK, with expectations and illusions, it may delay your next resume delivery, prepare for other interviews and other matters, which is not conducive to the progress of your job search;
It is not conducive to you to compare with the existing offers in your hand in time, if you already have offers from other companies, the extra delay may affect your entry;
If you do not pass the interview in the end, you will waste a lot of valuable job search time in anxiety, and you may even miss out on new opportunities. If you do pass the interview, you will be in a bad mood for at least 7 days, which will cost you meaningless emotional value and delay your time to prepare for the next round of interviews or compare offers.
2. Take the initiative to ask, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages
Ask after the interview, and the worst outcome is nothing more than being told "I'm sorry you didn't pass the interview". If you have already passed the interview, you will not be cold because you took the initiative to ask for the result!
Harvest benefits
1. Put an end to uneasy feelings and speed up the job search process
If you have a good result, you can immediately start to prepare for the negotiation of the offer, collect information, compare it with the existing offer, etc., to help you find a good job as soon as possible; If the result is not good, pack up your mood and start again! The sooner you leave, the sooner you can find a job!
2. Convey sincerity, which may counterattack
Taking the initiative to ask about the results will show that you attach great importance to the interview and have a strong intention to join. If you love ta, please express it bravely, don't feel embarrassed, we often say that confession may not be successful, but if you don't confess, it will not be successful. If you like this company and want to work in this company, it will only make the other party happy, make the other party feel that you are very likely to join, your "loyalty" is actually stronger than other candidates, and take the initiative to ask to prove that you are a person who works hard and actively strives for opportunities, this trait will be appreciated by many companies.
3. Scoop yourself out of the pending seat
Generally, the interviewer will divide the candidate into those who are not at all, those who must have been given, and those who are pending.
Maybe your performance is not at the top, but it's not that bad, the interviewer interviews a lot of people in a day, is not impressed with you, and returns you to pending. Taking the initiative to ask questions and strive for redress will allow the interviewer to enhance the impression of you, review your interview performance, and may consider giving you another chance to "resurrect".
4. EXPRESS YOUR WILLINGNESS TO COMPROMISE FOR THE OFFER
It is possible that the interviewer is also struggling with you and the other candidate: you are both at the same level in terms of education, interview performance, industry experience, and even salary requirements.
If you take the initiative to ask, reveal your desire for an offer, express that the company is a high match with your career plan, and you can talk about the points that the interviewer is tangled in, and if you like the job very much, you can appropriately show that you are willing to accept some concessions and compromises.
5. Understand your own shortcomings
Take the initiative to ask about the results, and if you meet a friendly HR, they may be willing to tell you what went wrong with the interview. Don't underestimate such a sentence or two of advice, most people are difficult to understand 100% of themselves, and they are often not so sober in the bureau.
After the interview, the company generally does not immediately give an answer of whether to hire or not, but needs the job seeker to go back and wait for the notice, but if a long time has passed, and still has not waited for the interview notice, at this time, is it necessary for the job seeker to call the company to ask about the interview results?
HR doesn't tell the candidate the results immediately after the interview, usually for three reasons:
1. The recruitment cycle has not ended
The company's recruitment cycle is relatively long, there are still more job seekers who have not yet been interviewed, and HR is still interviewing one after another, so I don't want to decide the selected candidates so quickly;
2. The review process has not been completed
Some companies need to go through a relatively long process, and HR needs to submit the information of job seekers to the leaders at all levels for review, and the employment notice will be issued only after the leaders have passed the review;
3. Improve efficiency
At the end of the interview on the same day, HR actually knows whether the candidate has been selected, but don't mean to reject the job seeker face-to-face, when the face-to-face refusal, often the job seeker will continue to ask what is not suitable, if there is something bad, and even some job seekers will argue with HR, in order to avoid these and save time, HR generally does not choose to inform the interview results in person.
As a job seeker, you can try to contact HR on your own initiative, but be sure to pay attention to polite language and wording when consulting to avoid making a bad impression on HR.
The following are some details of communication, which are recommended for you to read before contacting HR:
1. The time to contact HR should not be too early, generally about a week is appropriate, contact too early, HR has not yet decided, and the contact may also be a reply and other notices;
2. When communicating with HR on the phone, the attitude should be sincere, and the tone should not be humble or arrogant;
3. Be concise, don't be vague and don't ask about the point for a long time, during the peak recruitment season, HR is also very busy every day, and there are many things to deal with;
4. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to ask once, if HR says that the results have not yet come out or wait for the results to be unified after next week, it is not recommended to call multiple times to ask for the results, otherwise HR will feel that you are difficult to entangle and have low emotional intelligence. Originally, HR was very satisfied with you, but you didn't meet some of the requirements of the position you applied for, maybe the next time there is a suitable position, you will be notified again, but if you blindly entangle, you may even lose the opportunity in the future.
