面試技巧:美國(guó)高中申請(qǐng)面試核心問(wèn)題
美國(guó)高中的錄取和大學(xué)錄取的大致流程一樣,需要學(xué)校和申請(qǐng)人進(jìn)行一個(gè)面試溝通的過(guò)程。面試形式基本上有三種:電話面試,視頻面試,以及面對(duì)面的面試。
一. 面試時(shí)招生官員可能提出的問(wèn)題:

3)你對(duì)于我們學(xué)校最感興趣的是什么?為什么想來(lái)這所學(xué)校念書(shū)?

12) 有什么問(wèn)題嗎?(Any questions?)
申請(qǐng)人可以從上述各類(lèi)型問(wèn)題中挑出幾個(gè)問(wèn)題,準(zhǔn)備一些簡(jiǎn)單答案,以便被問(wèn)到時(shí),可以從容回答。
申請(qǐng)人可以向校方提出的問(wèn)題
在面試快結(jié)束時(shí),校方面談?wù)邥?huì)請(qǐng)你提問(wèn)題。如果你被邀請(qǐng)?zhí)釂?wèn)而不提問(wèn),則有可能被認(rèn)為你對(duì)學(xué)校不了解,不關(guān)心,對(duì)是否被錄取可能不太在乎。而提問(wèn)題,則有機(jī)會(huì)表現(xiàn)出你對(duì)學(xué)校了解的深度,以及你對(duì)自己未來(lái)受教育前景的關(guān)注程度。應(yīng)該在面試之前準(zhǔn)備三、四個(gè)可以問(wèn)的問(wèn)題,請(qǐng)你提問(wèn)時(shí),選擇一個(gè)你認(rèn)為適合當(dāng)時(shí)情況的問(wèn)題提問(wèn)。你提出的問(wèn)題不應(yīng)該是學(xué)校簡(jiǎn)介上已有的答案的問(wèn)題,或者說(shuō)一些不著邊際的話。例如你告訴對(duì)方你希望參加對(duì)方學(xué)校的籃球俱樂(lè)部,而該校所提供的俱樂(lè)部中并沒(méi)有籃球這項(xiàng),這不僅顯得很傻,校方也會(huì)產(chǎn)生疑問(wèn),你是否認(rèn)真考慮過(guò)要來(lái)該校讀書(shū),怎么會(huì)對(duì)學(xué)校有哪些俱樂(lè)部都不知道?至少校方會(huì)認(rèn)為你是一個(gè)不善于收集積累信息的人。另外,所提的問(wèn)題不應(yīng)該是簡(jiǎn)單的“是”或者“否”就可以回答的問(wèn)題。如不要問(wèn)對(duì)方學(xué)校是否有ESL課程,而得到的只是“有” 或者“沒(méi)有”的答案,而應(yīng)該是有一定深度的,讓對(duì)方經(jīng)過(guò)思考分析后才能回答的問(wèn)題。一定不要在面試后直接問(wèn)對(duì)方自己做的如何?自己是否有希望被該校錄取等那種讓校方面談?wù)卟荒芑卮穑蛘呒词箍梢曰卮鸬膯?wèn)題而令他感到為難。下面是可以向校方提出的問(wèn)題(供參考):
1、以你的觀點(diǎn)來(lái)看,這所學(xué)校在什么地方區(qū)別于其他學(xué)校?什么是學(xué)校的強(qiáng)項(xiàng)?
(In youropinion, what makes this High School unique? What are the school’s strengths?)
2、你如何描述該校的學(xué)生群體?(How would youdescribe the student body?)
3、在我結(jié)束面試之前,你認(rèn)為有什么關(guān)于申請(qǐng)學(xué)校的主要事宜,我應(yīng)該解釋的?
(Are there anymajor issues concerning my candidacy that you think I could usefully address before Ifinish my interview?)
面試的一些建議
1. 如果申請(qǐng)這準(zhǔn)備參加面試(無(wú)論是電話面試還是校方來(lái)華教育展面試),面試之前一定要詳細(xì)閱讀該校的簡(jiǎn)介,并盡量記住該校的主要情況。讓學(xué)校面試者有一種申請(qǐng)人確實(shí)對(duì)本校很感興趣,是認(rèn)真且有備而來(lái)的感覺(jué)。
2. 面試之前最好能在熟悉的朋友面前進(jìn)行一次面試練習(xí),使自己增加信心。
3. 將自己想說(shuō)的事情列一個(gè)表,認(rèn)真考慮如何措詞并以適當(dāng)?shù)姆绞絹?lái)表述自己的強(qiáng)項(xiàng),不要過(guò)分張揚(yáng),也不要太過(guò)謙虛。在面試的時(shí)候,可以多談一些你所參加的學(xué)校課外活動(dòng)。你的興趣愛(ài)好,曾經(jīng)或正在參加的義務(wù)工作,社區(qū)活動(dòng)。以及生活中對(duì)你有特殊影響的事件等等。如果是校方來(lái)華面試的話,可以帶上自己高中成績(jī)單和簡(jiǎn)歷,以便在介紹自己時(shí)作為備用材料給校方面試者作為輔助參考。如果是電話面試,可以事先把這些發(fā)給學(xué)校。盡量從正面的角度去談?wù)撊魏问虑,讓人感到你?duì)人生有一種積極向上的樂(lè)觀態(tài)度,不要隨意批評(píng)或抱怨某人或某事。
4. 要對(duì)自己寫(xiě)入申請(qǐng)表的內(nèi)容很熟悉,并且有明確的解釋。例如,如果你在申請(qǐng)表中的課外活動(dòng)一欄中,提到你在初、高中假期參加一項(xiàng)很有意義的活動(dòng),但當(dāng)面談?wù)咦屇阍敿?xì)談?wù)勥@項(xiàng)活動(dòng)時(shí),你卻又支支吾吾的說(shuō)不明白,那面試者會(huì)對(duì)其真實(shí)性產(chǎn)生疑問(wèn),至少會(huì)認(rèn)為你是在夸大其詞,寫(xiě)得好卻做的少。
5. 如果是校方來(lái)華面試,則需要申請(qǐng)人在衣著,禮儀等細(xì)節(jié)下功夫。首先你要衣著得體大方,雖然不一定要西裝革履,但也不能穿短褲,小背心,太短的裙子,太緊的上衣,拖鞋等,不化濃妝或?yàn)⑻嗟南闼。不要邊說(shuō)話邊吃口香糖。要彬彬有禮,語(yǔ)言文雅,態(tài)度認(rèn)真,仔細(xì)聆聽(tīng)對(duì)方的問(wèn)題,不要打斷對(duì)方的話。回答問(wèn)題的時(shí)候一定要切題,不要漫無(wú)邊際?梢月宰鲣亯|,但是一定要在兩、三句話中給予對(duì)方明確的答案。另外身體另外身體坐直,雙目直視對(duì)方并且盡量放松。如果你在面試期間,不能一直正視對(duì)方,眼睛看著別處的話,會(huì)給人一種信心不足或者缺乏對(duì)對(duì)方信任的感覺(jué)。如果是電話面試的話,則可以簡(jiǎn)單許多,但是一定要注意:語(yǔ)速要均勻,不能忽快忽慢,這樣十分不好。會(huì)給面試者一種錯(cuò)覺(jué),回答是經(jīng)過(guò)準(zhǔn)備的,遇到?jīng)]準(zhǔn)備到的問(wèn)題的時(shí)間,就會(huì)卡殼。另外在結(jié)束的時(shí)候,無(wú)論結(jié)果如何,一定要對(duì)面試者表示感謝。
6. 最后,在面試結(jié)束后,盡快給校方面談?wù)甙l(fā)一封感謝的電子郵件,以示禮節(jié)性的感謝以加深自己在他心目中的印象。
