Facing Many Interviewer

Keep in mind, no matter how many people interviewed, not to make you nervous or worried. Generally, all the interviewer will ultimately lead to a decision.

The interviewer may allegedly have close structural and functional relationship to one another. For example your prospective financial department staff, may be in addition to financial managers and HRD, you also asked by the head of accounting or marketing.

You are not in the position and capacity may be refused, when interviewed by more than one person, so what can you do is complete the interview without the need to respond to terms emotionally.

Treat all the interviewer with good behavior. That is not unctuous only to one interviewer. Differences of opinion among the interviewer will only hurt you. Because if no agreement is reached between them, the interviewer is likely to shift to another candidate who is more fair and neutral attitude towards them all.

Try to guess the position of each interviewer fatherly know the capacity and interests they are party to the interview.
Facing interviews with many interviewer, remember:

-Do not panic, it makes no difference 10 questions come from one mouth compared with two questions each by five mouths.

-Serve all the asker with the same attitude and friendliness.

-Try to impress all of the interviewer, either when you interviewed by them simultaneously in one room, or if you are interviewed separately by each interviewer independently in their own room.

good luck!

humble when undergoing job interview.

position provided.

Don't Talk Too Much

Almost everyone knows the saying "silence is golden", but only a few person understand the meaning and even practice it in daily life.

In the interview, answer the questions without drifting on a desire to improve, just use short sentences and directly hit.

Too long answer can even be interpreted that you are a wishy-washy person, rambling and indecisive in making decisions.

While it's true, maybe it's good to not tell the interviewer that you are a chairman of the Labor Union.

When asked about how to fill in spare time, respond with one or two common positive activities such as: jogging, reading or swimming.

About leisure activities, give impression that you do with your family.

Do not ever tell that you like playing billyard, visiting bars, karaoke bars or sauna.

Do not be provoked to reveal that you do adore a figure/political currents and hated figures/other political currents.

Any company's most afraid to hear that an employee has not been anything to talk baout the law. Trust and avoid bringing the answer to the formal justice, human rights or increase welfare in accordance with applicable laws'although these is a noble ideals.

No needs to confess that you familiar with too many officials (civilian officials, military & police, lawyers, bankers etc) or celebrity, artist, except if the plots was led there and connect with your job in the future.

You should not to talk about the things that is not asked in the interview. Talk too open will not shows that you are master in something. On the other hand, talk too open could open more trap for you.

Conversely, too close can also be detrimental, the interviewer will think you hide something about the past, or you're not mastered problem, it will save if you talk in the middle, not too open or too close.

In any case we should not too open? The following illustration may be able to inspire..

Do not too open when you talk about your health, because the work's vitality always interpreted directly related to someone's medical records.

Treated at the hospital because of serious health problems are also dislike because it potentially undermines company cash.

Ever had an accident because of your carelessness? Just save this experience for yourself. Cover tightly!

Ever angry with colleagues? If you open this issue, the exit door even more broadly.

Ever did a corruption? Dare to open this disgrace? Think of yourself..

Ever Flirt with your peers, while you and him/her was married equally? Clearly this is not a story of true love that will invite sympathy.

Enjoys the night life or playing billyard during working hours? This is not an "achievement" that need to open..

Ever had a crush on the boss/boss's wife? It's too dangerous if you open about this.

And, asked or not, don't tell about your sexual orientation (hetero-sexual, homosexual, lesbian or bisexual) but if the question came, just fess normal (heterosexual).

Don't Tell The Badside Of Prior Workplace.

Many labor candidate can't resist the temptation to tell about all the bad things in the prior workplace when provoked in an interview.Good or bad is relative, depending on how we look at it, just do not ever talking about the badside of another company.

You must know, almost all of the interviewer actually know that a candidate who applied must have a dissatisfaction in the workplace before, if no,why he/she look for a new workplace?

If we are forced to tell our disappointment at the prior workplace,do it with an elegant language. Some of the following sentence may be inspired you:

"Every company have goodsides and badsides": The company where I work was not a large company, so the company chose the hardest way, I quit because there was a Re-organization.

"I believe that the work environment is more important than big income": I guess I will not improved if I still in that environment.

"I will not improved if I continues to push myself to have career in there": This company seems overly cautious in taking the initiative.

"The company where I had worked very conservative,included in pay employees policy": the scale that used to assessing employee never changes since more than 5 years ago.

"I believe every person have power to argue in any case and no one who can be suppressed because has the opposite opinion with the boss": if I cornered by what I believe is right, I will risking my job.

Do not say:

"Too much work, small Salaries".

"Since the beginning I felt different with the last boss": I was recruited without an interview with him.

"I will be in the same position if I continue this for 10 years".

"The company is too small, I need authority and a greater opportunity"

Good Luck !
