Top Tips for Acing a Job Interview in China

As you prepare to ace your job interview in China, remember that first impressions matter – but they're not the only thing. While it's crucial to arrive on time (we'll get to this later), let's start with something just as important: doing your homework. When researching a company for an interview, most candidates focus solely on their products or services and maybe their mission statement if they can remember that much. This is not enough when interviewing in China. Research the parent companies, major competitors, recent scandals (if applicable), notable achievements, famous former employees – everything you could possibly want to know about this company short of asking for sensitive trade secrets. Your interviewer will likely be impressed by your thorough understanding of their world and may even ask if you have questions based on what they perceive as a keen interest in the industry or their particular business operations. A good rule of thumb is: If it's public information, don't assume anyone there knows more about it than you do.
The benefits to this approach are twofold. First off (and most obviously), your newfound knowledge base will provide valuable ammo for conversation topics with the interviewer and allow them a glimpse at what kind of research-oriented work ethic they can expect from an employee like yourself – should things go smoothly, that is! Secondarily though - equally as important but perhaps slightly less immediately apparent - this method allows YOU some critical insight into whether or not working there really aligns well long-term goals wise; after all nobody wants another round on ' musical chairs'.
1. Always double-check the address and confirm it with someone at the company if possible.
2. Research the best route to get there, including traffic patterns for your specific interview time.
3. Plan to arrive right on schedule – but not too early.
