Hello everyone, my name is Leo. I’ve been working in the recruitment industry for over 20 years, with extensive experience in hiring. Today, I’d like to talk about a hot topic:
Why Do Interviews Often End in Failure?
| Failure Reason | Specific Behavior | Underlying Issue | Improvement Suggestion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lack of Preparation | Vague answers, little knowledge about the company/role | No company research, no review of job requirements | Research JD and company culture in advance, prepare a STAR case library |
| Poor Expression | Illogical answers, too wordy or too short | Lack of practice, nervousness causing confusion | Practice with the STAR method (Situation-Task-Action-Result), focus on structured answers |
| Incomplete Technical/Business Answers | Only surface-level responses to professional questions | Limited knowledge, lack of in-depth preparation | Review core knowledge points, simulate common questions and practice repeatedly |
| No Personal Highlight | Answers sound plain, not standing out from other candidates | Didn’t summarize personal strengths | Prepare your “core selling points,” with 1–2 strong cases to showcase |
| Nervous Mindset | Speaking too fast, stiff facial expressions, unnatural body language | Overly focused on outcome, lacking real practice | Simulate interviews multiple times, get used to the setting, and relax your mindset |
| Poor Communication | Misunderstood the question, or answered off-topic | Lack of active listening and clarification | Repeat/confirm the question before answering to avoid misunderstanding |
| No Questions Asked | Didn’t prepare questions for the end | Seemed passive and uninterested | Prepare at least 3 thoughtful questions (e.g., about teamwork, growth opportunities) |
Many people fail interviews not because they lack ability, but because they lack high-quality practice and real interview experience.
