3. Case Study

Jiang Anshi applied for a job as a computer programmer in a large foreign-owned computing company. Because he was very well qualified in computing and had extensive experience, he thought that he had a very good chance of getting the job. Three people interviewed him. They started out by asking him questions about his qualifications and experience. He answered confidently.

Suddenly, however, one of the interviewers asked him whether he could work in a team. Jiang Anshi was rather surprised at the question but said, “Yes.” He was then asked why he was interested in this particular job. He explained that the job was very suitable for him as he had done similar work before. He also explained that the salary was better than the salary he was currently receiving. Finally, he was asked if he himself had any questions. He did not.

Jiang Anshi left the interview feeling that he had done well. However, he did not get the job and later found out that the successful applicant had less experience than he had.

Analysis:中西方人们对面试的概念有一定区别。西方招聘单位在招聘职员时，更注重你的团队合作精神，对应聘职位的兴趣而不是简历上的一些经验和职业资格证书等，他们认为面试的目的是使招聘单位与应聘人相互了解，招聘职员是双向选择，而不是招聘单位单方面地了解进而选择应聘人员。
