1. Language Preparation for Interview

(1) Putonghua strives for standards, and you can't speak wrong words or pronounce wrong pronunciations. It is best not to use dialects. Clear pronunciation, proper intonation, natural voice, moderate volume, appropriate speech speed, proper use of mood words and spoken language.

(2) Use words accurately and use sentences appropriately.

(3) Language exercises, including standing silent (practice heart), casual speaking (practice speaking), propositional speech practice (expression exercise), impromptu speech exercise (full practice). The practitioner determines the speech by drawing The title and content, and then take about 10 minutes to type the belly draft, and then start the speech.

2, psychological preparation for the interview

(1) Never demand perfection. (2) Practice ordinary mind. (3) Always maintain self-confidence. In addition, if you want to have full confidence in the interview, don't think of the interviewer and other candidates as their enemies, but think of the examiner as their leader and other candidates as their colleagues. In this way, a relaxed psychological expectation will be obtained, and in positive and constructive scenarios, candidates will be able to better grasp their self-confidence.

7, image preparation for the interview

(1) Create a good professional image. When interviewing, you should pay attention to dress: Men's suits should be the main clothing, and avoid wearing too casual clothes, which will give people a sense of instability. Women's clothing is mainly professional suits, avoid wearing fancy or strange clothing, otherwise, it will give people a frivolous impression. No matter how hot it is, men should avoid shorts, vests and slippers; women should not wear vests, miniskirts or shorts. Do not wear hats, gloves or ear muffs during the interview, these things are manifestations of disrespect. Men's shoes are mainly leather shoes and black, avoid sports shoes; women are medium-heeled dress shoes, try not to wear high heels, and don't wear cool slippers in summer. Both men and women can use solemn or elegant clothing, but it is best for men to be the former, and the color to be black or navy blue, and women to be the latter. No matter who you are, you should choose the color and matching effect that suits you. (2) Get accustomed to your new image. For the good image that you show to the examiner during the formal interview, you'd better get used to it a few days ago, until you can look at your new image with ordinary mind, thinking that this is The new image can be better used by you when it is a natural thing, not a deliberate one. (3) It's too late to pay attention, the image is really important in the interview, but the image is not all. Dressing yourself especially deliberately must make you look different, and sometimes not only can't help you achieve your goals, it can also be counterproductive.

8. Interview Preview

Candidates can imagine in their own brains that they leave the residence in a full spirit, smoothly board the transportation, and come to the interview site (candidates should actually conduct a route examination in advance to obtain a more realistic feeling effect), they are very Be polite and courteous to everyone you meet, as if you are not here to apply, but to work daily. Imagine yourself appearing in front of the examiner with a charming and able image, and soon you establish a trusting and cooperative relationship with the examiner, and then you start the interview like you do in daily work communication, and you relax and concentrate Thinking and answering

I. Listen clearly

When candidates listen to the examiner's questions or read the question book, the candidates must be careful and careful, many candidates directly lose points because of wrong questions. More test takers didn't hear the question clearly, in order to show that they were not nervous, they pretended to calmly and deliberately answer the questions. Obviously, this was meant to be concealed. It gave the examiner the impression that they didn't understand and acted vaguely. Trust will inevitably lead to loss of points.

If the candidate does not understand you, you can apologize to the examiner politely and ask the examiner to repeat it.

Clear arguments

Faced with any question, candidates should first clarify their views, and then discuss. Otherwise, it is non-targeted. For a long time, the examiner does not know what your argument is, obviously it is too poorly organized.

Third, don't hold time. Solving problems is the last word

Some candidates believe that the interview time should be used as much as possible, so there are often candidates who try their best to develop the content in order to support the time. The pursuit of fullness in form has caused bloated content.

Each interview question has its own evaluation points. Candidates should answer the question around a center, and should not be sideways.

First, control emotions, seize the opportunity, overcome stress to stand out

With the above conditions, we still cannot easily face the challenge of interviews. The reason is that the current form of interview, whether structured or without leadership, is a typical high-pressure interview. Under the high pressure gas field, it is difficult for candidates to make disguise and avoid their shortcomings. It has been imaged that a civil servant interview test has been compared to a police interrogation. The designer of the interview wants to truly test the quality of all aspects of the candidate through this form. This requires the candidate to have the ability to cope with stress and the ability to control his own emotions.

Analysis of Zhejiang University erudition education experts found that the pressure of interviews mainly comes from three aspects:

First, the setting of the examination room.

In a structured interview, candidates are in a state of being surrounded and at a distance of 3-5 meters from the examiner. In this way, candidates are isolated like islands, causing great pressure.

Second, the setting of the topic is stressful.

The interviewer once asked a female candidate with such a question: "I heard that you have had a childbirth in college, how would you explain it?" Test, but you can't insult my personality. "The results are conceivable.

Third, there is also pressure on the topic setting.

Candidates from early to big exams have relatively simple questions first, and relatively difficult questions come later. However, the interview is not the same. During the interview, simple questions may come later, and difficult questions come first. The purpose of this is also obvious, that is, to examine whether the candidate can have courage, calmly cope with the exam, and answer the next question if the previous question is not answered well.
From the above analysis, such a conclusion can be drawn. Candidates should learn to control their emotions and set their minds in the interview. Facing the high-pressure examination room, candidates should relax appropriately, pay attention to the examination, but also face themselves correctly. I believe sweat will always be rewarded. At the same time, we must learn to control our emotions without sorrow or joy, and seize the opportunity. At the same time, pay attention to avoid giving up at the interview. Some people may not answer the first question perfectly, then it will affect the following questions and even give up. This is taboo.

2. Good at summarizing, doing more with less

In addition to overcoming the biggest enemy of "tension", the main content of the interview is content. At this time, some students still have a certain misunderstanding. They think that looking at real test questions can enrich the content. The premise of reading more real questions must be based on understanding the thinking of the test questions, which is similar to the fact that we cannot pass. Doing a hundred questions and summing up Newton's law, but we understand that Newton's law can make countless physical problems.

Candidates also need to understand the current events in society, the impact of events on society, and the priorities of the government. Pay attention to the country's politics and economy, and pay attention to the "hot issues" of society. The interview of civil servants is of course inseparable from the content of the government's work. Therefore, we must look at and pay attention to social issues from the perspective of the government. Because some candidates do not understand the questions, the answers will be biased. For example, I have tested before: Can you talk about your opinion on "human flesh search"? One candidate is not very clear about this hot question. The answer to human flesh search is to find the body in the ruins. Imagine how the examiner would treat such candidates As a result, the first good result of the written test was wasted for nothing, and the result obtained was Sun Shanming.

3. Interview pass, sensory communication is more critical

Since the interview is a communication process, in addition to language communication, other sensory communication is also required, such as eye communication. Interview communication is a two-way process, which requires us to pay attention to appearance and etiquette. Candidates' dress and behavior, which is what we call "primary effect", is very important. Whether one's behavior is adequate and courteous, and whether one's clothing is generous and decent can show one's education level. To some extent, the examiner will infer subjectively whether this person has considerable ability. The examiner will refer to it when scoring. As the saying goes, "a beauty hides all ugliness", in this regard, the examiner will give a good impression, and the examiner will make mistakes in other aspects to give a certain understanding, so that the scores of other evaluation elements may be possible. It will improve, which will greatly increase our chances of being admitted. Why not do it! But we also see that one s habits have been cultivated and it is difficult to change. Our usual habits may cause interviews. A certain impact, this requires us to have the temperament of training our own civil servants from now on, not to walk hurriedly and calmly, calm and infectious, cultivate our momentum, and achieve fullness. It takes a certain amount of time to change ourselves, and we need to start from now and start from now.

Fourth, find the entry point for interviews, language communication is very important

Candidates must first find the entry point for the interview. Starting from understanding the interview, according to the concept of the interview, we can see that the interview is a face-to-face communication process between the examiner and the candidate. Since it is communication, we need to pay attention to language coherence. Whether it is a structured interview or a group discussion without a leader, this is a prerequisite. Only good language expressions can make your views and ideas on the problem clear and clear. However, practice shows that most candidates often experience language discontinuities and poor continuity during simulation training. Because thinking can't keep up with the speed of speech, students often repeat a sentence repeatedly, and the spoken language is also very serious. For example, "then", "then", "um, ah" and so on. Once such a question appears, the image of the examinee in the mind of the examiner will be greatly reduced, even if it is related to the success of the interview, but everyone who encounters such a problem also Don't panic, the interview has not yet started, and everyone has time to prepare.

Structured interview

Listening mode

The listening mode is that the examiner reads one question, and the examinee answers one question. The examinee's rhythm is basically controlled by the examiner. This mode is widely used in the civil servant interview examination.

Question mode

The test mode is to provide candidates with test books in the test room, and the answer form is specified by the examiner in most cases. It is generally to read all the questions in the question book first, and then focus on answering. In only a few cases, candidates are allowed to read one question and answer one question.

"Look at the material first + listen to the question" mode

In this mode, candidates spend about ten minutes reading materials in the waiting room or reading room, and then enter the examination room to listen to specific questions for interviews. The length of the material is usually about a thousand words.

"Listen to Questions + See Materials in the Middle" Mode

This model is a mix of material questions in traditional questions. The specific situation is that the middle part or the last part of the interview set is a material question. Candidates answer traditional questions first. When answering this question, the examiner will remind the candidate to read the materials on the desk. The reading time is generally 1 minute. After reading the materials, the examiner will ask questions. The candidates will answer according to the questions and the content . For example, the Sichuan National Tax interview question, the third question is a material question.
