Civil service interview skills and methods

First, question review method

The biggest feature of structured interviews is that each test question specifically tests a certain quality and ability of the candidate. Including: comprehensive analysis ability, verbal expression ability, adaptability, organizational and coordination ability, interpersonal skills, job compatibility, etc. Therefore, you must first make a clear decision, what to ask? How to ask? What is the purpose of asking this question? Only by reviewing the answers well can you be on target. The following will use the 2008 National Civil Service Examination interview questions as an example to explain.

Example

1. You are a new employee in a company. You have done a good job and were praised by your boss. However, you heard comments from your colleagues that you are a threat to them. How do you deal with it? This question tests the candidates' interpersonal relationships. Awareness and skills in communication, focusing on their interpersonal communication skills and whether they can correctly deal with issues of reputation and honor.

2. The Year of the Pig is here, and many rural women have to catch up with the trend of "golden pig babies" and are very likely to have more children, thereby violating the national family planning policy. If you are a staff member of the County Family Planning Bureau and your leader asks you to organize an activity to curb this trend, what would you do? Some students did not understand the requirements of this question and blindly analyzed the ignorance and backwardness of rural fertility views and organized an examination The ability question was answered as a social phenomenon analysis question, which was obviously off topic.

In summary, it can be seen that only when candidates review the questions well, correctly analyze the requirements of the questions, and understand the purpose of the question examination, can they solve the problems easily and ensure that they do not stray from the topic.

So how to grasp the time for reviewing questions? Do you have any skills for reviewing questions? Judging from the current national civil servant recruitment examination interviews and civil servant recruitment examination interviews in various provinces and cities, the review time is slightly different, and there are roughly the following situations:

p>

1. Sichuan Province, the examination time is 3 minutes, and there is a question book. After the examinee completes the examination, the examiner will ask one question, and the student will answer one question, or the student will answer the questions in the order of the questions.

2. Fujian Province, the review time is 5 minutes, and then you answer in the order of the questions.

3. Some provinces do not have separate time for reviewing questions. The examiner reads a question, and then the candidate answers a question, and can think briefly while answering.

4. Sometimes there will be a situation: there are 3 questions in the interview, but the question book only has 2 questions for the candidates to think about. The examiner reads the third question and the candidates answer it. In this case, Question 3 is mostly of emergency type, and generally tests the candidate's emergency response ability. As for the specific method of reviewing questions, there are two main points:

1. Make full use of the few minutes of thinking to quickly formulate the key points of answering the questions. Specifically, you can refer to the following ideas: First, review the questions according to "question type classification and answer ideas" and formulate an answer outline; second, when dealing with familiar and unfamiliar questions, the thinking time should focus on thinking about the key points of answering unfamiliar questions. Because in the interview, if you can't answer any question or answer it poorly, you will lose everything; third, in terms of order, under the same conditions, focus on the first question. If you answer the first question well, the first cause effect will be good, and there will be The effect of a successful start.

2. Concentrate and listen carefully to the examiner’s questions. Respond calmly, think briefly, and don't rush to answer questions. Interviews are not rush questions. Additional questions and follow-up questions may appear in the exam. These questions are not in the question book, so you must be mentally prepared.

Second, perspective method

In a sense, the interview can be positioned as a verbal argument. There are many similarities between the verbal essay and the written essay. They both simulate candidates as civil servants. Therefore, during the interview, candidates must understand, analyze and solve problems from the standpoint and perspective of civil servants, rather than answer questions from the perspective of ordinary people. For example, when it comes to understanding corruption and negative phenomena, one should express one’s position from the perspective of a civil servant. Generally speaking, candidates can answer questions from the following perspectives:

1. From the perspective of ordinary civil servants. Put yourself in the role of a civil servant and answer questions from the perspective of the government and a civil servant.

2. Enter the perspective of assumed identity. Sometimes the question assumes an identity or role for the candidate. For example: During the May 4th Youth Day, your unit organized a symposium, and the leader asked you to make an impromptu speech for 3 minutes. At this time, you are answering the question as a young employee. You have to give a speech on the May 4th Youth Day. The content of your speech should promote the "patriotism, science, and democracy" spirit of the "May 4th" movement. As a young person, you must implement it throughout your daily work. , make achievements in ordinary jobs.

If you change this topic: a middle school commemorates the May 4th Youth Day event. As a government worker, the principal asks you to give a speech, which lasts for 3 minutes. At this time, the perspective changes. You are no longer a young worker, but a government worker. The theme of your speech should be to carry forward the "May Fourth" spirit, strive to build a harmonious society, and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

3. Stand from the examiner’s perspective. Some questions require thinking from the examiner's perspective in order to get a high score. If there is a question like this: In recent years, there has been a boom in civil service applications. Some training institutions in society have held sky-high training courses that charge tens of thousands of yuan. What do you think of this? Have you participated in interview training? Think about this question from the perspective of an examiner. , when you answer, you say you have participated in the training. If your current level is 80 points, the examiner will think that you are only at this level after participating in the training. It would be worse if you did not participate. 80 points is not your true level, so you will definitely be given a higher score. cause impact. As for the personnel department, according to the market economy, the civil service examination is also a kind of economy. It has no power to stop it, but it does not promote it. Therefore, from the examiner's perspective, you should choose not to participate in the tutoring when answering the second question.

Third, Structural Method

Civil servants, as staff of state agencies, require candidates to have clear thinking and clear logic, so they can use creative methods in civil servant interviews, such as: Section 1 One, second, third, finally; first, second, third, last; first, second, third... The problem-solving method can be organized and logical in form and content, and the structure is complete and Logical and well-organized answers meet the civil servant interview scoring standards for clear thinking and clear logic, and you can get good scores.

When using the structural method to solve problems, you need to pay attention to the following:

1. Think clearly, speak in an orderly manner, and have clear layers.

2. Peel off the cocoon, proceed layer by layer, and have strict logic.

3. When encountering obstacles, jump naturally.

Fourth, jumping method

The civil service examination can be said to be a very important turning point in the candidate's life. Every candidate attaches great importance to it and will inevitably be nervous in the examination room. Nervousness is not entirely a bad thing. Moderate nervousness can excite you, but excessive nervousness can lead to short-circuit thinking. For example, when thinking about a question, the examinee thought of four points, but due to nervousness, he could not remember the third point when he answered it. At this time, some inexperienced candidates paused and tried to recall the third point, which led to a cold start and the final score was naturally not very satisfactory. The jumping method is to skip over when we forget a certain point. For example, in the previous question, the examinee can directly say the fourth point, because the examiner does not know what points the examinee wants to say, so as to ensure that the examinee gets good results. In the civil service examination interview, candidates can use the jumping method in the following situations:

1. Short-circuit thinking. The interview questions are those that candidates have prepared, such as questions about **** phenomena. They should be answered according to the ten-point formula: admitting one's fault, comprehensiveness, harm, praise, and expressing one's position. After the candidate answers the "comprehensive" point, he or she finds the "hazard" point. I forgot about it, so I paused and thought to myself, I must think of all the questions. After thinking about it for a minute, I finally figured out the "harm" aspect. But this obviously outweighs the gains and losses. The correct approach is to skip this point. If you can finally remember this point, you can make it the last point. If you pause for 1 minute to answer that point, although the content is comprehensive, you will lose points for the fluency of the language, and the overall impression on the examiner will be greatly reduced.

2. Idioms, famous sayings and aphorisms are short-circuited. Candidates want to quote famous sayings when answering questions, such as this question: "Details determine success or failure." What do you think? Candidates want to quote the famous saying "A embankment of a thousand miles will collapse in an ant nest". Originally, candidates are familiar with this sentence. I was really worried about it, but because I was nervous about the exam, I suddenly forgot about it. Inexperienced candidates paused there and recalled carefully. This approach is obviously unwise. The correct approach is to replace it with other famous quotes or not say the famous quotes at all.

3. Spoken words and short circuits. No matter who writes articles, they will make mistakes, and interviews will also make mistakes. This is a normal phenomenon. For example: When answering the question "What are the responsibilities of the people's police?" a candidate said that "the people's police are a violent tool of the state." Suddenly he realized that he had made a mistake, so he immediately corrected himself and said to the examiner: "I'm sorry, examiner." ", should be a tool of dictatorship", but the examiner may not have heard that he was wrong at all. When he changed it, the examiner lowered his score. The correct approach is not to correct the slip of the tongue, but to automatically correct it the next time you say it.

The above are the four types of methods and techniques commonly used in civil service interviews. Candidates can feel during the actual civil service interview preparation that in fact, most interview questions require candidates to use a variety of methods and techniques to quickly answer , comprehensive and accurate answers. The reason why these four types of methods and techniques are explained separately is that firstly, each type of interview questions has its own focus on problem-solving methods and techniques. Secondly, we hope that candidates can master these four types of commonly used problem-solving methods and techniques in order to obtain Lay a solid foundation for a successful civil service interview.
