During the interview, the interviewer asked how to treat overtime, and how to answer?

When we went to the job interview, the problem of overtime was actually an inevitable problem in the interview stage. HR may want to test your adaptability or how much you can "contribute" to the company. No matter what the other person's purpose is, answering the interviewer's heart is our most important thing. Take a look ~

To answer this question, we must grasp the appropriate limits, and there cannot be two extreme situations, such as:

? Overtime is totally unacceptable. This is a particularly low EQ answer. The interviewer will think that you can't bear hardships and doubt your work attitude. Since you are still skeptical, it is even more impossible to hire you.

Accept overtime, love overtime! This is a bit flattering. Accepting all the overtime requirements of the company will make the company feel that you are "cheap" and may really exploit you in the future!

In addition to the above two extremes, try to filter out some bad words, such as the following false demonstrations?

I don't really want to work overtime, because working overtime is very tiring and I have no private time.

I am willing to work overtime if I have overtime pay.

Accepting a job is the most important thing. I will work hard while I am young and give full play to my value.

Are these words wonderful? No, the question itself is not whether you can accept overtime! But to observe your ability and work attitude through this question, the interviewer's original intention may be to know whether you can accept overtime if it is necessary. If it cannot be passed directly, can you take overtime seriously and devote yourself to work instead of fishing?

Find out these questions and answer them ~ share an answer? Thinking formula: show understanding+show attitude+take the opportunity to ask questions.

? express understanding

First of all, follow the interviewer's words and express your "reasonableness".

"I especially understand that this position will have some overtime in case of project emergency, and the necessary overtime is acceptable" (the implication is that invalid overtime is not accepted).

"I know, sometimes there is an emergency and I need to work overtime. I used to work overtime until eight or nine because of urgent projects. If the team needs it, I will actively participate in helping the team achieve its goals "(in fact, the range of overtime hours you can accept has been marked here).

make one's attitude clear

Then, show your attitude and say what you think of overtime.

"I pay more attention to work results than working hours. I don't think anyone likes to work overtime. More importantly, improve work efficiency. I won't work overtime just to work overtime. After all, only efficient output is the best working condition "(can reflect your self-motivation).

"I will try my best to complete the task during working hours and will not hold the team back. If I need to work overtime for a long time, I will reflect on whether it is a problem of work efficiency.

Seize the opportunity to ask questions

The tug-of-war is almost over. This is the most suitable opportunity. You can take the opportunity to ask about the overtime frequency and make a psychological preparation.

"By the way, what is the daily overtime frequency of this position? What is the general reason? "

"What about the overtime work of other small partners in the team? I want to know clearly, be prepared, and hope to integrate into the big team as soon as possible. "

This will help you understand the actual overtime situation and finally choose whether to join this company, because job hunting is a two-way choice. If you can't accept it, don't hesitate to go. Even if you do join the company, your job will be very angry. You might as well resubmit your resume.

Finally, I want to say, don't make humble promises for an offer, and don't unconditionally promise the other party to work overtime for this offer, because once you don't strictly follow their standards after joining the company, you will not be far from being eliminated. The problem of overtime should be treated rationally, and the premise of everything is based on better development.
