Interview traps

Misunderstanding

Having received the answer to the question, the interviewer can say that he does not understand it. And after your explanation, he may again be something incomprehensible. This is a stress test. You can start to get nervous or even behave aggressively - do not do this. This is part of the game, and you must remain calm. Clarify what is specifically incomprehensible to the interviewer and explain yet, do not lose your temper.
Active listener

Listening to your answer or comment, the interviewer may be very interested: actively nod; constantly say “yes, yes”, “very interesting”; something to take note of you. Usually in such situations, the interviewer thinks quite the opposite. This means that you are talking too long or the information is unnecessary.

Try to put the answer to any question in 1-2 minutes. If you really need to tell a lot - list the main points and say that you can separately give comments on them, if it will be important for employment - you will be asked.
Pauses

In any business conversation you need to be able to keep pauses, including during the interview. For example, after you have answered a question, the interviewer may be silent for a long time, as if waiting for a continuation. In this case, you should not feel embarrassed and try to supplement your story with unnecessary or empty information. Quietly wait for the next question.
Frankness

The interviewer can be very friendly to you so that you feel more relaxed. In such an atmosphere, you can say a lot of superfluous, and it can cost you work. Be careful not to fall into this trap.
Provocation

You can talk for a long time about your past experience, responsibilities and achievements, and the interviewer, after listening carefully, will ask: “So you practically did not do this?” Such provocations can be used during stressful interviews and can unsettle anyone. You need to answer calmly and confidently: "No, you misunderstood me." Remember to show goodwill and confidence.

Common mistakes during the trial period

1. Game Rules You should study the features of work in the company and its corporate culture as soon as possible. In some organizations, free communication is on “you”, in others it is more strict and official. Somewhere to linger after work - a generally accepted rule, etc. You must not only learn these features, but also decide for yourself how they suit you. 2. Simultaneous job search If you started work, you should not continue to go for interviews in order to find more employment options. Also, do not update or post your resume on employment sites. The HR manager of the company will easily find it, besides it is simply dishonorable. 3. "In a strange monastery ..." Each employee brings some changes to the company and affects its work. But you should not criticize any work processes during the trial period and too defend your opinion. There will be more appropriate moments for this. 4. Activities of the company You can regularly fulfill your duties throughout t...
