In mid-October, many freshmen’s autumn recruitment progress bar is still in progress:
The colonel recruits official website to check the progress-“I am going, why is it inappropriate?”
Enter the system to check the status-why the process has been terminated?
Received a new email, I was happy, did you send me an offer? Click the result to see-“You have entered the company’s talent pool”.
Finally passed the online application, passed the written test, and got through the group interface, but I didn’t expect to start the “nightmare mode” with one click. It is known as the “Thanksgiving” in job hunting, and it can kill you with the snap of your fingers. It is the biggest part of the recruitment process.
Go in vigorously and come out in a daze. This is normal. After the crowd came down, there were only four words left in his mind-the chaotic dance of the demons.
It is no exaggeration to say that group faces are the “school recruiting nightmare” of fresh graduates.
One hundred ways to die in a group
The notorious group face is actually Leaderless Group Discussion, also known as——
“Group fight interview”, “Workplace version of werewolf killing”, “One of the top ten modern and contemporary versions of torture”, “Multiplayer version of the landlord”, “Elegant tearing the scene”, “The role-playing rollover scene”, “The scene of drama rushing to add drama”, “the scene of large-scale social terrorism and autism”……
In the entire implementation process of the group face, there is always one in Da Keng Xiao Keng who can make the participants doubt life.
For example, when gods fight, mortals suffer.
The battle between the two big brothers is the “main battlefield”, and the undergraduates caught in the middle are purely “flanking injuries.” I can’t even intervene at all, I can only quietly watch the big guys pretend and sing Adu’s “I shouldn’t be here, I should be under the car” in my heart…
What’s worse than being unable to intervene is that he was sniped frantically by his teammates on a boat as soon as he spoke.
I created another group in the fieldNew role—the refuted person. No one speaks when I am not talking. When I speak, eight or nine people stand up to refute me! Suspect that everyone else’s group-face topic is Doudizhu? ? ? (@奶糖妈妈)
As a result, good teamwork has turned into a tough battle. The quiet girl who usually speaks softly and softly may also be swayed by the intense group atmosphere, maintaining a drunk state throughout the whole process, incarnate as a “torn fighter” who is stunned and stunned.
Afterwards, I walked out of the examination room dizzy, with only three questions left in my mind: Who am I? where am I? What did i do?
In the Japanese drama “The Time I Exist”, senior student Takuto, played by Haruma Miura, repeatedly hit a wall in the job search. This is actually a portrayal of many graduate job seekers in reality
There are also people who are honestly a listener who does not fight or grab, and the whole process of Buddhism is small and transparent, but they were cueed unsuspectingly before the end, asking for the psychological shadow of the person at that time.
Compared with previous years, this year’s group faces are particularly miserable. Due to the epidemic in 2020, many offline groups will be changed to online groups. The experience of online group faces is even worse.
A group face participant shared his group face experience in early September this year on social platforms:
A group of top students are twittering, one for you and one for me. A screen can’t fit 12 people, and you don’t even know who is talking. Digress, thinking jumping, aggressive, teaming. A bunch of professional terms and English abbreviations are piled up together. When outputting opinions, I still don’t forget to bring my previous projects. The final output is not much constructive.
In the last second, there was a heated debate in the crowd, and the next second the network card was disconnected. Someone had to complete the online crowd on the toilet with the best internet speed.
What is the difficulty of school recruiting “nightmare” groups
Talk about the groupFaced with a life of death, but what is so difficult about it?
The reason why group faces are difficult is that there are too many uncontrollable and uncertain factors.
Some people describe group faces like this: “Group faces are divided into cases and group debates. The former is similar to putting the same ingredients to make a hot pot. It turns out that some people put shit, and the latter is similar to several people throw shit at each other. , And eventually splashed on everyone.”
Although the words are rough, they pointed out the core of the group, which is a team game composed of competitors who are both prosperous and ruined.
What are the members of a high-performance team?
A team hierarchical model gives a portrait of such a best partner: He is “emotionally stable” and will not be anxious or nervous due to pressure; he is outgoing, open, tolerant and obedient, At the same time have a “sense of responsibility”. Team members with such characteristics are most conducive to team performance.
But in the leaderless group, whether you are in the same boat or is the teammate of the gods can only rely on luck.
No-leader group discussions are usually divided into groups randomly, such as reporting numbers. Applicants for the same position may vary greatly in their educational level, age, gender, professional background, and ability, and random grouping may also be assigned to the “death group.”
In addition, in a group discussion without a leader, the hidden role division will also have a huge impact on the direction, pace, and quality of the entire group discussion.
Take the soul role leader in a non-leadership group. It is often the first person among the members to make a clear frame analysis of the topic. Therefore, he will shine in the early interview and “control” the whole rhythm.
Together, the leader role is the “soul figure” who speaks and performs the most in the group. Who is the most suitable leader?
In an experiment, it was found that narcissists are more likely to win the trust of the group members and successfully become the leader of the group in the absence of a leader group interview where the group members do not know each other.
They are not more creative than others, but they are good at selling their opinions to others. At the same time, they are good at image management, and they often have the self-confidence. In short, they feel very good and reliable at first glance.
In fact, another study just shows that the leader role without a leadership team is not highly correlated with intelligence, and is often not the smartest one. Whether it isThe leader role who is self-recommended or picked with the team members is a social expert. The most prominent traits are self-confidence, strong social skills and outgoing personality.
In the Japanese drama “Legal High”, the male protagonist Gu Meimen has a first-class ability to speak and speak. I don’t know if it is a blessing or a curse to encounter such a “teammate” in the group face
In other words, if you want to grab the leader role, the skills you can output are the key. It is really hard to say whether these “group soul figures” who are “blindly selected” in a short period of time are capable of performing their own roles.
Looking through the past years of group-face Tucao posts, we can see that many Tucao pig teammates grabbed the leader role but ended up playing abnormally. They directly became the “team annihilation engine”, and the entire group “has no survivors.”
The leader role is a role in which high returns and high risks coexist. If the interviewer announces that the discussion is over, and the group has not yet given a consensus at this time, then the leader is also the first to be eliminated.
Take 10,000 steps back. The on-the-spot interview without a leader is pretty good, and your teammates are also reliable. Are you sure of winning?
Don’t be too happy, there are some hidden ceilings that lie between everyone in the interview, such as the value of their looks.
It only takes 13 milliseconds for people to judge the attractiveness of each other’s face. In other words, even with limited visual information passing by, we can quickly judge whether the face is attractive enough.
Individuals with outstanding looks are always presumed to have many positive personality traits. For example, people believe that attractive people are more sociable, happier, and more successful than unattractive people.
Beauty also has “monetization ability”, which psychologists call “beauty premium”. A survey of the labor market found that the salaries of people with good looks are 5% to 10% higher than those of ordinary people. Even if they made the same mistake, a mock jury trial found that a good-looking defendant was punished more lightly than an unattractive person.
In a non-leader group interview, this kind of ceiling is very likely to exist.
Eight interviewers from three different companies evaluated 64 financial and engineering freshmen from the same American state university, and selected sales and management trainees for the company. In the evaluation dimensions they provide, in addition to common factors such as calmness, tact, initiative, field control, public speaking ability, and adaptability, appearance is also listed as a separate indicator.
Introverted social fear, don’t you deserve an offer?
Of course, the interview method of group face or no leadership group may not be unreliable.
There is no leadership group to discuss this interview technique, which was born out of the selection of German military officers in the 1920s and 1930s. Precisely because the selection effect was so good, the selection of civil servants and military officers in the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as the selection of talents from Fortune 500 companies, began to learn from them.
It can be said that there is a background for a non-leadership group. It was used to select leadership and management talents from the very beginning, and its evaluation elements focus on certain characteristics of leadership personality.
So, the scope of application of the group surface is very limited. It is more suitable for the selection of positions that often deal with people, such as civil servants, enterprise middle managers, human resources employees, sales personnel, etc.
On June 29, 2020, in a sales office in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, the sales representative briefed the buyers on the real estate situation. Most real estate companies will set up group links in sales interviews
The problem is that in China, the “group face” that has been regarded as a panacea is already rotten. Especially in school recruitment, large and medium-sized enterprises often use the group face as the first stepping stone.
Even if it is a bad-spoken science man or a technical house, it is impossible to get the offer you like without a few trips in the group. Although there have been many studies that prove that no leadership team is not effective in technical positions.
In the final analysis, the essence of group faces isA battle for “limited resources”-on the surface, the role assignment of these unleaded groups is just a title, but in fact, scarce “attention” resources and “performance time” are allocated.
Regardless of the viewpoint and quality of the speech, the most intuitive group’s speech time has a high degree of positive correlation with the final rating score.
For those who get the leader role, more speaking time means better performance of themselves and a higher rate of contribution to the group. For students who have gotten small roles such as ordinary players, they have to learn to “add drama to themselves.”
This is easy to say, but too difficult to do, especially for those students who are introverted or relatively slow-heated. The group face is a large social occasion for strangers. If you accidentally sit down, you will become a star The statue of nose and heart.
In the Japanese drama “Escape is shameful but useful”, Mikuri Moriyama, played by Yui Aragaki, regrets that he has said the wrong thing in social situations. In real life, introverts often fall into such social embarrassment
The brain pathways of introverts are different from those of extroverts, and are dominated by the parasympathetic branch of the main nervous system.
When the introvert is in a state of tension without leading a group discussion, he thinks highly nervously: What should I do? At this time, the parasympathetic nervous system is in an active state, guiding the introvert’s physiological response like this-pupils shrink, reducing light entry; heartbeat slows down, blood pressure decreases, and oxygen consumption is reduced; muscles begin to relax, digestion, secretion, and excretion increase. The outward attention weakens and the inward attention increases, slowing the body’s response.
So you see two extreme situations like this: In a stressful situation, the more extroverts are talking, the more they get excited, and the introverts seem unresponsive.
However, in the competition without leadership group interviews, it seems to give too much praise to those with aggressive personality and those who are “Desperate Saburo”, and they regard shyness, shyness, and introversion as a kind of “flaw.”
In an experiment with no-leader group discussion, 87 students were divided into 4-5 groups and participated in 7 no-leader group discussions. After each discussion, Participants in the same group will score the intelligence of themselves and their peers. It turns out that initially, the shy group members had lower self-evaluation and peer evaluation scores, and were considered “more stupid”.
After the second non-leader group discussion, with the increase in contact and familiarity, peers’ derogatory evaluations of the shy group members’ intelligence gradually disappeared.
Introversion, shyness, and intellectual ability are irrelevant.
Another domestic survey shows that in terms of language learning, introverts and extroverts actually have their own strengths and weaknesses. Introverted learners even learn better than extroverted personality learners in general. Specifically, introverted learners perform better than extroverted learners in intensive reading, listening, vocabulary grammar, dictation, cloze and other items; while extroverted learners have advantages in speaking, extensive reading, and writing.
Although it is said that “the trial of jade has to be burned for three days and the debate has to wait for ten years”, but in a modern workplace where efficiency is paramount, there will be no kind interviewers willing to spend more time and give a second interview Opportunity to learn more about the true abilities and characteristics of introverts and shy people.
Fit this set of rules, stay; not fit this set of rules, leave. Simple and rude, saving time and effort.
Finally, those who pass the group face are likely to be potential stocks. Sometimes, you are really just a little out of luck compared to the person who got the offer.
