Notas do Editor
Tập trung cái này nè
Chuẩn bị là điều kiện tiên quyết nhớ. Nhấn mạnh
Liệt kê tên của các đồ này kỹ càng và phân tích qua cái KHÔNG HAY khi wear chúng.
Điều này nhóm 3 cũng đã đề cập đến, nhưng không nói kĩ mà chỉ nói qua qua là cần phải mang theo đồ thôi. Vì vậy nhóm mình phải nhấn mạnh đến IMPORTANCE của nó, thể hiện sự TÔN TRỌNG, CHUẨN BỊ KĨ, VÀ RẤT RESPECT buổi phỏng vấn này, đông thời cũng show tính Pro của mình khi đi pv.
Nói ý: Ở các tài liệu khác, thời gian rất nhiều lần được đề cập tới và đó là đến sớm hơn 15 phút. Trên thực tế khoảng thời gian hợp lý hơn cả là 10 phút. 10 với 15 phút không khác biệt nhiều, nhưng một điều tôi muốn nhấn mạnh ở đây là: Các professor khuyên ứng viên nên BƯỚC VÀO CÔNG TY trước 10 hoặc 15 phút đó. Tức là: DÙ BẠN CÓ ĐẾN SỚM HƠN, NHƯNG HÃY NGỒI ĐỢI Ở XE HOẶC Ở CHỖ KHÁC. KHI CÒN 10 PHÚT mới đặt FIRST STEP vào công ty.
Đây là phần rất quan trọng, khác hẳn với các nhóm khác, bọn nó khoog nói gì đến điều này cả.
T đã copy Thnx letter ra Word rồi, hôm đó sẽ phát cho mọi người ở lớp.
Cái này thú vị này. Có một fact như này: Khi phone interview, điều gây phản cảm nhất cho nhà tuyển dụng là TiẾNG GiẬT NƯỚC WC. Vì bị gọi điện không báo trước nên khi mình không để ý, theo bản năng, vẫn giật nước bình thường, và đây là một điều cực kì phản cảm không gì lấy lại được Ở phần này cứ để một slide như này thôi nhưng ai thuyết trình thì phải nói full về những types này nhé, đỡ phải viết ra slide khác.
Trong 3 types đó thì nhấn mạnh vào group. Link với buổi hôm trước là cô đã cho Groupinterview, nhưng kết quả có vẻ không tốt, vì mọi người chưa involve và take it serious. Trên thực tế thì hình thức này rất quan trọng và phổ biến. Trong group của mính sẽ có rất nhiều người tính cách khó ưa, nhưng điều quan trọng là: không chứng tỏ cái TÔI của mình bằng việc tranh luận gay gắt hay khăng khăng bảo thủ ý kiến của mình và mình p là người thắng. Mà điêu quan trọng là: Có thể ý kiến của mình không dominant nhưng cách raise và persuade mọi người như nào, nói chung là skill thể hiện hết ở đây.
