一转眼，圣诞过去了。不知道大家的圣诞过得怎么样呢。呵呵，还是言归正传吧。今天Emma想跟大家讨论下有关于面试礼仪的相关问题。作为礼仪之邦的人民，我们的文化同国外尤其是美国的面试文化有着哪里可以产生碰撞的地方呢？当然，如果你想获得更多的有关MBA申请及面试的问题，请登录我们的网站，www.topway.org

随着第一轮面试的到来，我们想要将注意力转移到面试，可以说，在整个录取的过程中，面试是非常重要的一个环节，同时我们将与大家分享一些有关于面试礼仪的基本指导。虽然在整个面试中，你的申请材料和内容才是最重要的，但是精益求精以及给予面试官一个积极地印象，也是十分重要的。下面我们将会为您提供一些面试时的指导方针。

1) Dress the part. 除非与那些别特指出需要休闲着装的面试官会面，假设商务服饰是是适用的。我们推荐申请人穿着的保守一点，可以选择深色的西服（裤子和裙子对女士来说均可）以及白色或者白色的衬衫，避免搭配有着明显商标的或者俗气的领带，并且可以稍微的修饰下面部以及喷一点点香水。你需要被别人记住你到底是个什么样的人，而并不是你的穿着。

2) Be pleasant.关于这点，好像不用过多的说什么，但是我们想要告诉申请人的是除了营造良好的谈话氛围以外的建议，这点很总要，要有礼貌的对待录取工作人员以及一切你在校园或者面试官办公室碰见的人。不礼貌的评论任何录取工总人员，会对你这个人的整个评价产生不良的影响。

3) Be aware of body language.除了向你的面试官解释介绍你的经验，兴趣以及想要就读MBA的原因，你的面试官也会注意你现在的状态。你要注意避免从你的个人简历上照搬原话。虽然这是个不错的参考，但是请记住，你应该对于自己简历上的内容足够熟悉，同面试官谈话的时候，要注意保持眼神交流以及建立良好的关系。

4) Follow up.为了在24小时之内给你的面试官发送一封感谢信，请确保你拿到了你的面试官的名片或者得到了他或她的联系方式。这并不仅是普通的礼仪，同时这也是为你们建立长久联系的第一步.记牢哦，这点很重要。

With imminent interview invites for Round One applicants, we wanted to turn our attention to this important step in the admissions process and share a few very basic pointers on interview etiquette. Though the content of your application materials and comments during the interview are of paramount importance, it’s also crucial to put one’s best foot forward and make a positive initial impression. Here are a few guidelines for interviewing applicants to keep in mind:

2) Be pleasant. This likely goes without saying, but we wanted to state for the record that in addition to fostering a friendly discussion with your interviewer, it’s also important to be polite to administrative staff and anyone else you might encounter while on campus or in your alumni interviewer’s office. Flippant comments to the administrative assistant at the front desk often find their way up the chain of command.

1) Dress the part. Unless meeting with an alum who explicitly specifies a more casual dress code, assume that business attire is appropriate. We recommend that applicants dress conservatively, opting for a dark suit (pants or skirt are both fine for women) and a blue or white shirt. Steer clear of flashy brand gear and loud ties, and go easy on makeup and fragrances; you want to be remembered for what you say and who you are, not what you wore.

3) Be aware of body language. In addition to your comments about your experiences, interests and reasons for seeking an MBA, your interviewer will also be taking note of the way you present yourself. You’ll also want to avoid taking notes or reading from your resume; it can be fine to have the latter in front of you as a reference, but remember that you should be familiar enough with its content to focus on maintaining eye contact and establishing a rapport.

4) Follow up. Make sure that you get your interviewer’s card and take his or her contact information in order to send a “thank you” email within 24 hours of the interview. This is not only common courtesy, but could also serve as the first step in forging a lasting correspondence.
