[Q]
::Thank you very much. I got a personal interview with MBA director of U.of Illinois, and the time is 20minutes. I also got a telephone interview with Georgetown, but I have not given them a phone number yet because I want to do some preparation. Could you please give me more idea? What kind of questions can I propose to them? If I wait for one or two weeks before I give Georgetwon the phone number, will they become suspicious? Thank you.

:
[A]:Regarding your phone no., whether the current situation will cause negative result depends on their current expectation from you.
:If they well understand it's a 2-week, 1-month or so, that's fine.
:If not, just call them, give them your phone number and request for a date which is appropriate for you.
:Find whatever reason for your proposed delay as long as it's well justified.
:They'll understand you have much more things to do than a mere MBA application.
:However, don't keep Americans waiting without letting them know what will happen next.

这是关于找工作的,但是MBA的面试的许多问题很相似。这里有可能问你的问题和你问对方的问题。把自己的简历和Essays多读几遍,对方主要根据他们问你,尤其是你的简历。
2. Why are you going to USA not staying your homeland to study?
3. What is your major now? Say something about your work, etc.
4. What is your favor? (maybe)
5. Who is the great person in the world in your eyes?
At the beginning if you cannot hear clearly about the words from Prof.,you can tell him/her "lease speak loudly for my phoneline is not clear"(maybe the sentence is not correct, butit is the similar meaning),then he/she maybe speak loudly and slowly. At the end you can say"Thank you for calling!".
因为TA是教书,所以以聊天为主。比如天气啦,个人情况啦,等等。如果你曾经做过口译方面的工作,也可以跟他吹一吹。主要看你的英语怎么样了。一定要注意礼貌,如果有问题回答不出来的,你可以跟他说,i have no idea of it now. can i reply you later by email?总之,打圆场的事情是不用我教的了。
场景三:
prepare for something about your interest, the name of the courses you have taken, what kind of research you have done, etc.It was very nice to meet with you,Thank you to give me this opporunity to interview,Your company is very good,I'm very interested in this job,This job is suit for me,I'm suit for this job,highlight your advantages again,Looking forward to hear from you.
1. Why you choose this univ.?
2. Why you want to have your graduate study in US?
3. What are you doing now?
4. What's your plan in this univ.?
5. What's your plan after you finish your study?
场景四:
教授问了我以下几个重要问题:
1、Do you have any special or excellent idea during your research experience?
2、Did you use any english textbook in classes?
3.、Will you like to study in a small but with high quality university or a big university like Harvard or Princeton?
4、Do you apply for other university or contact with other faculties in the XXX university?
5、How about your abblity to be a teaching assistant? (I told him it's no problem if use Chinese, but I need some practice in English.)
场景五:
一开始他问我答, 问题有这么几个:
research interest
research background,
teaching experience,
by what means I know his University,
hobby,sports,etc
然后是问我有什么要问的,我就问了他事先准备号的几个问题,climate, living expense,tution and fee, the amount of TA,上面都是用英文,然后他似乎聊性还浓, 提出我们可以用汉语说,然后聊了一挥各自的籍贯,过春节,甚至还说他知道大陆的学生都很优秀,会拿到很多offer,到时可能还会考虑选校,并说他对米国的大学很熟悉,愿意提供咨询,信息.我当然把他们学校好好夸了一通.总共大约30分钟.
1.looking the articles in digestion and some by lightspeed
2.feel at ease.they want you!
3.preparing :some questions like in ps ,resume,recommendation and some special:such as your experiment
4.need not recite.just for refer。
5.speak slowly,they know you are chinese,if you quick,they will speak very quic.
6.be polite and confident
7.some questions for the university,such as whether, wonder and some for pro,which is his project,how he become interested in this.
8.good luck.
场景六:
一早,我就准备了将近30个可能的问题,将其打印出来,反复朗读,以至到了可以背诵的地步。到晚上约9:50, 我还不放心,于是绝招出来了。我将这9页纸粘在墙上,然后,双腿端座在床上,再将电话抱在手中,这样,所有可能问题的答案尽在眼前,一目了然。果不其然,印度教授问的问题都被我言中,由于对资料已经很熟,故迅速找到答案所在的那张纸,一一朗读出来。感觉非常爽。印度人的口语非常差,非常差,很难辨别,且有口音,不过,一句:Sorry, i can not hear you very clearly, would you please speak a littel more loudly? 解决问题。
总结:鬼子用浓重的加州口音说的极快。有大半听不清楚。电话效果还不错,只是中间有两次声音效果很差,我及时解释:好象线路有问题。整个过程26分钟。

:I have just finished an interview from a Top Ten B schools, self-feeling is quite good. Based on my personal experience and understanding, as a matter of fact the fact to face interview is easier for us than the telephone one. When talking face to face you can present your personal characters and maturity as well other than those language gimmicks. Moreover, you also can grasp the feedback from him/her very quickly so as to adjust your talk accordingly. Never scare the direct contact with interviewers and just be confident and yourself.
:1. Make good eye contact always.
:2. Show your good personalities and courtesy.
:3. Practise oral English to say something different.

刚刚结束了一个的电话面试,写点感受。
9点整UA教授准时打电话来,一阵寒喧之后就是自由交谈,由于我一点也不紧张所
以进行得蛮顺利。主要话题如下:
1. Tell me some thing about yourself
2. What did you study at college?
3. Are you a graduate student, what is your job?
4. Why do you want to study in UA?
5. Have you received any offers? Which school gave you offers?
6. How will you choose? If we also accept you will you come?
…………..
电话面试很容易,主要是看你的口语能力,不大涉及专业话提。回答应尽量自由,随意,如果对自己口语不自信,可以把准被好的问题及答案写在纸上,多读几遍,或者贴到电话旁边的强上,边看边说。但切记不要只是一味的朗读,要有您自己的语气,让他知道您是在随意的聊天。我也准备了几个问题,可面试过程中几乎没有看,因为看着提纲总部能很好的思考,灵活应变。最后要说,无论怎样您真正的英语交流能力最重要。作者: Pandar 时间: 2003-3-14 16:36
