HUFLIT Students “Pocket” the Secrets to Conquering Employers at the Workshop “Recruitment Interview Response Skills – Hit The Job”

According to the guest speaker, the first step to impressing employers is for candidates to be thoroughly prepared before the interview. Specifically, this involves preparing a complete and detailed CV and having a clear understanding of one’s own resume. Additionally, candidates must carefully research the position and company they are applying for. The speaker also emphasized that arriving on time helps create a positive impression with employers.

Furthermore, Ms. Minh discussed the best strategies for handling open-ended questions that employers often use to evaluate a candidate’s true potential. For situational questions such as “What would you do if asked to perform a task you have never done before?” or “How would you handle a heavy workload?”, she explained that candidates should remain calm and analyze the interviewer’s intent to provide the best possible answer.

She also shared with the students some “trap” questions—seemingly simple yet deceptively challenging questions commonly used by employers. The guest speaker guided the students on the optimal ways to handle these “trap” questions to help them make the most impressive impression on potential employers.

After absorbing the valuable insights provided during the session, the school’s members and students had the opportunity to ask questions and interact directly in the hall. Ms. Minh Minh Trần and Mr. Tony Đỗ – a Senior Business Development Specialist representing Avery Dennison Material Group – enthusiastically answered questions and shared their personal experiences from an employer’s perspective.
