之前我上大学那会,学校的就业办主要就是帮你安排招聘会,历来没据说针对面试的辅导或者模拟面试啥的,全部的面试经验都来源于网上写的一些文章,而后再在面试的时候经过各类碰壁去揣测面试官在想啥。git
前不久美国的西北大学给咱们公司HR发邮件,邀请志愿者去学校作模拟面试,我很感兴趣,因而也报名参加了。程序员
此次模拟面试主要是Behavioral Based,和专业无关,每一个学生大约45分钟时间,其中30分钟面试,15分钟针对面试结果给出反馈,固然根据面试官的风格能够本身调整。github
在面试前一天,面试官把次日要面试的学生简历和安排发过来,一块儿的有详细的交通路线如何停车等,为了防止面试官准备不充分,还附了一份常见的Behavioral Based面试问题列表。面试

到了办公室后,学生简历都已经打印好,每一个学生会附一份面试评价表,面试官在面试完后要对学生的面试结果的各项指标作一个打分,而且写出表现好的地方和有待改进的地方。编程
在模拟面试的过程当中,我问了一些我平时面试常问的问题,在学生回答后,我会根据学生的回答,来解释这个问题我问的目的是什么,指望的结果是什么,能够如何作的更好。如下是一些具体的问题。app
“介绍下你作过的项目”
这个问题每一个人都能回答,我问这个问题的目的,就是须要经过这问题的答案了解候选人:ide
- 在项目中独立完成了哪些事,取得了什么成绩
- 在项目中是如何和其余人团队协做的
在回答这个问题时,一个常见的问题是没有经过数字来量化的解释他作的事情。好比有个学生他说他去年暑假去一个单位实习,帮助写了一些Excel的脚本帮助提高了处理报表效率,我建议他能够加上具体的数字,因而他修改了如下,说在没有用他的脚本以前,公司要有专人每个月花10个小时左右的时间处理报表,在用了他的脚本以后,只须要花不到3小时就能够完成。这样听起来就让人印象深入多了。ui
还有一个常见问题就是太啰嗦,讲了几分钟流水帐,没重点,这在我模拟面试的两个中国留学生身上比较突出,可能有语言的缘由。我给他们的建议是能够先挑作的最好的项目讲,捡重点部分讲,同时在说完一件过后,能够先停下来问下面试官意见,例如说:“你对我在这个项目中作的事情有没有想要了解的?”、“我以为我在这个项目的时候,在和同事之间合做的不错,有兴趣的话我能够给你讲讲我是怎么作的”,这样便可以加强互动,也能够掌握主动权。this
“当你和团队成员有冲突时,是如何处理的?”
这是个常见问题,也是个常见场景,目的就是看你如何沟通协做的。有一个学生回答比较好,说他会先去了解背后的缘由,而后再思考是否是本身的观点是错的,再和对方沟通消除分歧。spa
“你的职业目标是什么?”
一个有明确目标有计划的人是会更容易成功一些的,这个问题就是看候选人是否是对本身将来有明确的规划,以及针对这个目标,有没有开始制定计划,开始行动。基本上这个问题稍微准备下都能回答的不错,除了有一个同窗的答案给我感受不太好,他在说完一个职业目标后,又说了一个彻底不同的职业目标,我当时就一脸懵逼:同窗你未来到底想干吗呀?
“你是怎么打发你的业余时间的?”
每一个回答这个问题的同窗都很兴奋,开始口若悬河讲他的兴趣爱好。这个问题其实不简简单单是想了解一下你兴趣爱好,还想了解一下你这我的是否是真的热爱你的职业。好比说一个程序员,你要说业余时间就是看看电视剧玩玩游戏,也不看书也不写程序,怎么让人相信你真的喜欢编程?相反回答说本身业余时间喜欢看看技术文章,在github写点开源项目的程序员天然会加分不少。
可是也千万别自做聪明编一些故事,紧接着确定会针对你的回答有更多问题的,好比说你github帐号是什么?作过什么开源项目?做假的话,回去一看就穿帮了。
“你有没有什么问题想问个人?”
这一般是面试的最后一个问题,意味着面试要结束了,这个问题主要就是给候选人一个机会,了解一下公司的状况,或者想从面试官那获得一些建议等。正常来说最好是问一个有准备的问题,例如:“大家公司的开发流程是什么样的?”,“能简单介绍一下你的平常工做吗?”,显得对公司重视有兴趣,也能够借此了解一下。
我在模拟面试的时候,也遇到一个学生,他问了一个本身都很难描述清楚的问题,固然也很难回答,我当时感受就是:同窗你这样连一个问题都描述不清楚,我不由要怀疑你在工做中是否是能很好和其余人沟通了!若是正式面试中,他前面表现突出还罢了,若是表现通常,这一下基本上就决定了我不会想录用了。
最后
这种模拟面试针对是个很好的模式,在正式面试过程当中,我或者其余面试官是不可能会跟候选人讲这些信息的,而经过模拟面试,学生就能够了解到真实的面试官是怎么想的,本身在面试中哪些地方能够作的更好,这样在针对性准备一下,确定能够极大提升面试经过几率的。
