The arrival of the graduation season means a new wave of job hunting, and graduates of major colleges and universities have begun to submit resumes and look for suitable jobs. With the addition of the post-00s, the job market has also ushered in fresh blood. However, this generation of young people often comes across as maverick and confident, which can sometimes lead to unexpected situations during the interview process.
Recently, on a well-known recruitment website, a senior HR shared his experience of interviewing a post-00s college student. The HR said that he had a good impression of the candidate's resume, but the actual interview process surprised him.
After the interview began, HR asked the post-00s college student to introduce himself as usual. Unexpectedly, the candidate replied with only four words: "On the resume." HR smiled a little awkwardly and explained that the self-introduction was to get to know each other better. However, the college student insisted that the resume was detailed enough and that repeating the introduction was a waste of time.
Next, HR tries to understand the candidate's personality and spare time by asking about hobbies. However, this post-00s college student surprised people again, and he replied lightly: "I don't have any special hobbies." The interviewer continued to ask why he was interested in the position, and the college student said that since the company notified him to come for an interview, it means that the company has recognized him as having the relevant ability.
The interview atmosphere became a little tense, and HR decided to ask directly, "Why do you think we hired you?" The candidate confidently replied, "Since you invited me for an interview, it means that I meet your requirements." Such a short and direct answer made HR feel that the other party seemed to be a little overconfident.
Eventually, the interview ended in a delicate atmosphere. HR politely rejected the post-00s college student's job application, saying that the company does not need such an "excellent" talent at present. This interview experience sparked heated discussions on the Internet.
Many netizens believe that the college student's attitude is indeed a little too arrogant and lacks the necessary humility. However, some netizens said that the job seeker may not be very interested in the company's environment and culture, so his attitude seems perfunctory. Of course, there are also some people who question the interview method of HR, believing that the interviewer's questions are not specific to the job requirements and fail to effectively explore the actual ability of the candidate.
In the author's opinion, the interviewer also asks the candidate to introduce himself or herself when he or she has a resume, in fact, to test the other party's communication ability and adaptability. Through a short self-introduction, the candidate's presentation skills, logical thinking, and self-confidence can be observed. Also post-00s, this college student obviously lacks an understanding of workplace rules and interview etiquette, and if it is not for his strong professional ability or rich internship experience, it is difficult to win the favor of recruiters.
The interview is not only a test of the candidate's ability, but also a comprehensive assessment of his attitude and quality. An overconfident or even arrogant attitude often makes a bad impression on the interviewer, which in turn affects the final hiring decision.
Ladies and gentlemen, what is the most bizarre question you have ever encountered in the interview? What details do you think should be paid attention to during an interview? Feel free to share your experiences and opinions in the comment section!
