??? In job interviews, candidates should boldly ask interviewers questions about matters they care about! Human resources managers say that doing so not only helps interviewers understand candidates more deeply but also allows candidates to assess whether the company and position they are facing suit them. ???
Last Thursday, at the "World's Top 500 Interview Questions" book salon hosted by the China Youth Publishing House, human resources managers attending from various companies in Hulunbuir Recruitment Network shared their views on common issues that arise during interviews.
??? Experienced professionals need to express their full selves ???
Human resources managers stated that the main purpose of employers conducting interviews is to understand the "real self" of the candidate, identifying their strengths and weaknesses to determine if they are a suitable choice for the position at Hulunbuir Talent Network.
During an interview, should candidates fully express their "real self" or only present the aspects that fit the position they are applying for? Li Hongqing, HR manager at Beijing Nolant Company, believes that newcomers to the workplace should choose the latter, while experienced professionals, especially those seeking managerial positions, should opt for the former.
Li Hongqing said that when hiring managerial personnel, companies not only evaluate the management skills of applicants but also pay attention to how well they integrate with the corporate culture, i.e., the potential for long-term growth within the company. If applicants omit parts of themselves during the interview, it might lead to misconceptions by the company and result in passing the interview through "deception," which may not necessarily be beneficial for the applicant. For a mature professional, once they realize they do not align well with the corporate culture, they will likely jump ship again. This outcome obviously delays both the individual and the company.
??? Interviewers welcome your questions ???
During the interview process, some candidates worry that asking questions related to their growth and benefits might offend the interviewer, so they hesitate to ask. Human resources managers say that interviewers welcome your questions!
Li Liping, HR and Administrative Manager at DuPont China Group Co., Ltd., said that modern companies highly value information parity during recruitment because only mutual understanding and mutual selection can achieve a win-win situation. Li Chunhui, HR Manager at Huayun Real Estate Company, said that the larger the company, the more they emphasize information parity during recruitment. Zhang Dongyang, Business Director at 51job, revealed that he always reserves time for candidates to ask questions during his interviews, as these questions allow him to better understand the candidate in a more genuine way via Inner Mongolia Xing'an Talent Network.
However, human resources managers caution candidates against asking overly sensitive questions during interviews, as this might make the interviewer uncomfortable and lower the candidate’s score.
