Say Hi
Normally we would introduce our name, university, major, interests etc. but when there is on 30 seconds or 1 minute to give others a great impression, we could focus more on our achievements, show our special points, especially when there is a copy of your resume in the interviewer’s hand, we don’t have to introduce our name, major or other basic information, cause these are all in the resume, introducing these makes you no difference from other applicants.

Questions Interviewer Have
1. Why our company?

Why this position?Almost every time your will be ask this question, how will you answer? Of course you have to do your homework to know about the company and the position, the future of the industry, the strategy of the company, the culture, the daily work of the position…. If you really want to get this job, prepare as much as you can to make a perfect answer
2. Are you qualified?

Tell the story relative to the job, which could give evidence that you can do this job well, remember to be personal and specific, show your difference from others and excellence
3. Who you are?

It’s all about what kind of person you are, are you easy to work with? Tang Jun, ex-vice-president of Microsoft Asia, said that success can never be achieved without an essential element: Good Personality. All interviews in fact is to judge what kind of person you are, if you can make the interviewer love/like you in 5 minute, then you are absolutely in the roll. There may be 10 or even more applicants who have almost the same background and skills compete for one position, which one do you think would be in roll? No doubt the one has the suitable or better personality.
