Your phone is ringing, you picked up the phone.
HR: Hello! May I talk to Shui-ks-in (老美不会念ShuiXin)?
u: -- who? wrong number.-- who is this?
HR: I am Judy Smith, from 薄壳栗 university, I am calling for a scheduled
job interview.
u: -- job interview? which job?
u: -- 薄壳栗 university? Are you sure? My husband told me he only mailed my
resume to 丝毯富 university.(baby is crying---)
u: -- Sorry, can you hold on....----------------------------------------
You know this is not the good way to answer the unexpected/expected phone
call from HR/job agent.
Here is how you should prepare for the first phone interview:
-- write down what you want to say on a paper/papers
-- paste the paper on the wall near your phone
-- read the paper when the phone interview start
Here is the most important: so called "3 minute drill":
-- Before you answer the first question to HR, or if you find a chance in
the interview process,
say:"Before I answer that question, would you please let me briefly
introduce myself? I graduated from the top university in China: University
of Science and Technology of China which is the only university belongs to
Chinese Academy of Science, and University of Palo Alto in United States.
I worked ... years in China, teaching ... at .. University.
I have worked at University of Long Beach in California.
I have worked on the topic of ... research, published .. junk papers,
I am one of the top expert in ... field.
I am glad you called me, from where you got my resume?
-- write down the above content on a index note card.-- read the card, try
to finish it within 3 min.
-- practice, practice, read, read, read, until you can fluently talk it no
matter when the phone is ring...
Summary:
The idea of "3 min drill" is: use the first 3 min to dump your strong point
to the interviewer, to show your strong point to them. No matter what
questions they ask you, you need sell out what you need sell to them. For
you, the interview process is a selling process.Be well prepared, write down
what you plan to say on a paper. Read, read, read, practice, practice,
practice.
