(1) Comfort yourself psychologically
First of all, no matter what other special reasons, such as the office is being renovated, the company has just started to establish an office and there is no office, etc. So considering that you may not know, we can choose a more compromise understanding - choosing a coffee shop will make the atmosphere more relaxed for both parties. If you don't want to see your resilience and psychological quality, I think there is a better place than this.
So the coffee shop has this function. You should take it for granted and accept it psychologically. In fact, in this interview, you should look more relaxed, and treat this meeting like a friend who you met many years ago but had no contact with, and suddenly met again. If you can do this, then you won't be intimidated and can function normally. Of course I just mentioned this. Because in fact, if we all adopt this method to conduct interviews, we will encounter more embarrassment. The cost is high, the efficiency is low, and it is only suitable for highly targeted interviews.
(2) Basic preparation for the interview
Dressing
For boys, a formal suit will make you successful, provided that the suit fits well. If conditions permit, you can choose combinations other than black and white. For example, a light blue top and off-white trousers.
For girls, you need to be more particular about your clothes. If the interviewer is a woman, I recommend a business suit. If the interviewer is a male, it is recommended to go the professional-casual route.
Resume
If time permits, make a folded page out of coated paper. Or add a small folder. Don't just grab a piece of paper, it's too shabby. When people enter certain environments, their tastes will become artificially high.
Makeup
It is best for girls to wear light makeup. I can't say this, my friend is a female man. I asked her to find someone to do it at a cosmetics store. For boys, there is no problem if they are combed cleanly.
(3) Cafe-specific events
How to find your interviewer
For my friend's question "What if she arrives first?" First of all, the interviewer agreed to "arrive on time at one o'clock in the afternoon." So what do you think is punctuality? One o'clock? Or 5 minutes or 10 minutes earlier? Well, I think arriving early is a must and being late is absolutely unacceptable. How early should we arrive? You can take control of this yourself. Even if you arrive an hour early, you should calmly call the interviewer at 12:50 to confirm the table where you will meet. Once confirmed, go to him directly. If he is late unintentionally or deliberately, arrives at the scheduled time, and the table is not reserved, then you can say that you will choose a suitable seat and wait for him to come. Just beware that he will ask you questions like "What do you think of being late?" Of course, it is almost impossible for the interviewer to be late.
What should I order?
You can ask the interviewer to order first. If he orders coffee, you order coffee. If he orders tea, you order tea. If he says nothing, (generally he won’t embarrass you so much), then you can only grit your teeth, have a small pastry, two glasses of boiled water, and say, “It’s a pleasure to meet you today, and it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Let’s chat while having afternoon tea.” (At this time, many people are probably going to curse in their hearts, because I will recommend the AA version later) If he refuses and asks you to order first, you are welcome, just have a cup of tea or coffee.
What’s taboo is that you can’t decide what to order even after looking at the list. This shows that you are hesitant or inexperienced. Who should pay the bill
The most suitable one is of course AA. After the interview, you can call the waiter and tell him that you have to leave in advance and buy your order. At this time, you can ask the interviewer Officer, are there other people interviewing you later? If so, ask the waiter to remove your cup. There is no free lunch in the world. If you do this, it can show that you are a person with clear values ??and social attributes. Even if you may have no chance, you still have to pay the bill yourself. This is actually not a loss. It is good for your own cultivation and habits.
Assuming that the interviewer clearly states that you do not need to pay the bill, then you can directly ask the interviewer if he wants to meet other interviewees. If so, the same as above.
Suppose the interviewer asks you to pay the bill, then you will go back to AA, "Although the environment of today's interview is very relaxed, it is still business, and it is not appropriate for me to ask you. But after this interview, Even if we can't become colleagues, we can still have the opportunity to become friends. If I have the opportunity to choose a good time in the future (make sure I pass), I will definitely invite you to come out and sit down. I hope it will be more enjoyable then! "Okay, buy your own order!" Let's go and get rid of this guy's troubles, but if you really pass, you must remember your promise.
