MBA英文面試攻略
MBA入學(xué)面試的形式每年都可能有些調(diào)整,但變動不會太大。英文面試的主要目的是判斷你的英語水平是否適應(yīng)MBA的基本要求。面試時一般是兩個老師,一個老師為主,另一個基本上不做聲,只偶爾插話。你一般會被要求用英語簡述自己的簡歷。然后老師會問你一些問題,比如你為什么要考清華而不考北大,你的第二志愿學(xué)校為什么要那樣選,你工作經(jīng)歷中的一些事情,等等。估計每個人的都不一樣,基本上是根據(jù)你的簡歷提一些相關(guān)的問題。下面將幾所主要院校的MBA英文面試流程做個簡單介紹。
清華大學(xué)
1)、中文面試結(jié)束后,另行安排時間進行英文面試,可根據(jù)時間段自己尋找面試搭檔,兩人一組。
2)、抽簽決定面試討論問題,給幾分鐘準備。先由老師對個人提問,問題較簡單。
3)、二人針對抽簽決定的話題進行情景對話。內(nèi)容多且涉及廣泛,通常涉及社會熱點,對某事的觀點,生活態(tài)度等內(nèi)容,時間3分鐘。
場景舉例:
1)、 在商場,一顧客和一售貨員在談話;
2)、 兩位大學(xué)同學(xué)畢業(yè)多年后首次見面;
3)、 在交通堵塞的公共汽車上兩位乘客在交談;
4)、 快放暑假了,兩個同宿舍的大學(xué)生在談計劃;
5)、 在操場上,一學(xué)生碰上他的老師也在鍛煉。
北京大學(xué)
1).中文面試結(jié)束后,由一位考官對每位同學(xué)問一個問題。
2).問題內(nèi)容多涉及:來自哪里?工作情況?個人愛好?性格特點?畢業(yè)院校?專業(yè)?公司介紹?
3).問題較簡單,且考官有時在你聽不懂時,再用中文問一次,態(tài)度隨和。
人民大學(xué)
1).題目相對簡單,主要提問教育背景、工作背景,教師會根據(jù)考生所回答問題進一步深入提問。時間大約每人5~8分鐘。。
2).一名英語專業(yè)的老師進行面試(個別小組的老師為外籍英文教師),另一名記錄助手一般為在讀研究生。
3).一般不會提到涉及管理理論方面的問題。
復(fù)旦大學(xué)
英文討論一些個人的內(nèi)容,涉及背景,期望等.
整體側(cè)重口語表達,一般聽說流利即可
南京大學(xué)
要求用英語進行自我介紹,然后回答面試專家的提問,這部分占20分。
西安交大
1).選擇題號。
2).老師念題。
3).考生作答。
湖南大學(xué)
。1)、英文自我介紹。
。2)、提問:你在MBA聯(lián)考中認為哪一學(xué)科最難,為什么?你的職業(yè)規(guī)劃是什么?畢業(yè)后你是否會更換行業(yè)以及工種等等。你的實踐知識和書本知識的區(qū)別?實踐與理論的區(qū)別。這部分占5分鐘。
注意事項:
回答隨機提問時的注意事項:
1、 充分準備,把可能的問題和答案先翻譯成英文,牢牢背誦;
2、 面試中盡量往自己熟悉和有準備的領(lǐng)域引導(dǎo);
3、 注意發(fā)音和語調(diào),語速以稍慢為好。
4、雖然說提高英語水平不可能一蹴而就,但個人簡介還是可以盡量寫得精彩,背誦熟練,有條件的話找個高水平的人指點一下,除了修改語句,還可以糾正發(fā)音,這樣可以提高你的起評分;由于事先了解到考官的問題基本上圍繞個人簡歷(包括所提交的中文短文),難度不大,所以準備的時候,與自己經(jīng)歷相關(guān)的詞匯要盡量多掌握。英文面試與中文面試的最大區(qū)別在于,這次面試主要是考察英語水平,也就是說考官不看你說什么,就看你怎么說,你只要不離題太遠,大可暢所欲言?脊俚膯栴}平均有5、6個,回答不上也不打緊,就是別停,保持和考官的交流。對考官的語音大可不必擔(dān)心,大多數(shù)都不怎么標(biāo)準,聽不懂時來句“I beg your pardon” 請考官再說一遍也不失為一種互動的交流。此外微笑、目光也都有助于交流。
進行情景對話時的注意事項:
1、盡快確定談話主題,分配角色;
2、相互配合,形成交流;
3、語速以慢為好,盡量說得清楚明白。
小結(jié):
所有的英語面試都是以考查考生實用英語表達能力為宗旨,回答的內(nèi)容其次,也就是我們常說的It is not what you said that matters but how you said it。
沒聽明白可以重問
盡量表現(xiàn)得輕松自然
講話要流利,不要拘泥于內(nèi)容,過難的內(nèi)容就要繞過去,不會過分查證信息的真實性
就同作文的要求一樣,不要有語法錯誤。有一兩個精彩之處,發(fā)音、氣質(zhì)、談吐,意思傳達的比較準確、通達就可。
語速。不能過快,也不能過緩,要在面試之前找找感覺。
著裝。一定是正式,切記。
舉止。不能含胸縮背,坐著亂動,更不要主動尋求與考官握手(當(dāng)然一般沒有機會)。
學(xué)會傾聽。注意:集中精力,面帶微笑,眼睛注視對方的“傾聽”,而不是左耳進,右耳出的“旁聽”。

Q: Do you know something about the development of China’s MBA projects? Can you give any suggestions on the room for improvement of China’s MBA projects?
A: China began to participate in MBA programs since the early 1980s’ mainly through cooperation with US and European business schools. And from 1990s’, China began to establish the degree of MBA projects.
Suggestions for improvement:
Localization of MBA projects, especially focus on the establishment of our own case bank.
Market-orientation. China is in great need of executives who are technically sound in the fields of IT, finance, and accounting and who have a thorough command of management theories and good communication skills and strategic viewpoints.
More attention should be drawn to the education of CTOs and CFOs besides the traditional education of CEOs.
In China, apart from CTOs, we are in great need for CFOs, those who knows the operation of capital markets as well as the general management knowledge because the biggest challenges for enterprises in China are how to finance a company and how to handle the risky capital markets.
Q: What is CFO and the related responsibilities?
A:
CFO is the abbreviated form of Chief Financial Officer, who is the most important and valuable position of management in modern enterprises besides CEO.
Responsibilities for CFO: handle various financial relations especially relations with the investors (investment financing), with governments (taxation, and bond supervision), and strategic business planning, and human resources management.
A CFO will direct the department of planning, department of finance, department of operational management, department of ERP and department of H.R.
In other words, CFO is responsible for all the departments except departments of production and sales.
We should lay more emphasis on the education and training of CFO.
Relationship between CEO and CFO
CEO is the one who make decisions on the long-term objectives or missions for a company, while CFO is the one who make those ambitions and long-term planning into concrete, operable strategies especially the financial strategies. And not only that, CFO is the person who actually assess the fulfillment of the objectives. So the harmonious cooperation between CEO and CFO in a company is critical.
一些背景資料:
Q: What is the difference between MBA program at home and abroad?
A: China’s MBA projects are lagging behind their counterparts at abroad in the following respects:
Teachers and teaching facilities
At abroad: Doctoral degree is a must for teachers in universities, and for those who teach in business schools. They have to have obtained professional education in business and management, some with educational background in economics and other pertinent sciences. And most of them have direct or indirect experience of business administration and they keep a close contact with enterprises through consulting services or research projects. So they can combine those management theories with enterprise practices which is quite advantageous to the MBA education.
At home: We have teachers without doctoral degrees at our business schools, teachers without professional business or management background, and teachers lacking practical understanding of how an enterprise is actually operated.
Source of students
At abroad: basically, all students applying for MBA education come from enterprises and they intend to continue their career in enterprises when they finished their MBA study. They are people with highest potentials to become excellent businessmen or businesswomen.
At home: we have a more complex source of students. A large part of enrolled students are not from enterprises which means they have no former business experience. Although some are excellent people they simply need longer period to become entrepreneurs. Some choose to enter governments and intuitions after their MBA education which goes against the overall objectives of MBA programs.
System of managing MBA education
At abroad: business schools have self-decision-making for their MBA projects, such as the scale of recruitment, tuitions and way of hiring teachers. The high autonomy enables them to develop fast and obtain special features of their own.
At home: Universities have little independence and it’s even worse when it comes to business schools. All the above-mentioned decisions are made under a planning system which consequently affect the quality of MBA programs.
Teaching methods
At abroad: besides the traditional ways of teaching, that is lecture and case study, there are many kinds of different ways of education for example, field projects, group projects decision by computer simulation, guest speech , project study, consulting reports , role plays, discussions and seminars, action learning, debates, internships, study trips, student presentation, problem solving and experiential exercises.
At home : our teaching methods are rather limited.

Self-statement(個人介紹----樣本)
MY BACKGROUND
I was born in a small village of Shan Dong Province on April 4th, 1968. When I was young, my family was very poor, so I had to work to earn money to help my parents after class when I was in the middle school.
In 1986 I was admitted by University of International Business and Economics (or: UIBE) to pursue a bachelor degree in Economics. My major is accounting in Department of International Business Management. The undergraduate education gave me a wide range of vision and taught me how to cooperate with others. I developed several professional interests in Accounting, Finance, and International Trade.
The following eight-year working experience offered me a good chance to give full play to my creativity, intelligence and diligence. In 1990-1993, I worked as an assistant to funding manager in China National Technical Import and Export Corporation. In 1993-present, I was employed by China Kingdom Import and Export Corporation to be the Manger of Financial and Accounting Division.
I do believe that with my hard early life, solid educational background and ample working experience, I would be an excellent student of you MBA program.
MY PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT:
After graduating from UIBE, I was employed as the assistant to the funding manager by China National Technical Import and Export Corporation. After reading a lot of related files, and analyzing the overall funding situation of the corporation, I found that the loan policy was not been put into effect. So we have thousands of millions RMB loan with very high interest rate while a large amount of cash in bank with very low interest rate was idle. I reported this to my supervisor, and then we studied and revised the loan policy. This revision saved the corporation approximately RMB thirty millions yuan. In order to raise the funding effectiveness, after one year’s hard work, I developed the internal banking system within the corporation based on the actual funding supply and need of the different divisions and projects. This internal banking system made full use of the corporation’ funding resources, and due to this, I was highly praised by the president of the corporation.
WHY CHOOSE YOUR MBA PROGRAM?
After I have worked in business area for eight years, I feel that I need to continue my education by pursuing a Master degree in business administration. I have practiced my professional expertise in accounting, demonstrated my leadership abilities and perfected my communication skills. But I have yet to become an entrepreneur in my own right, and to fully master the art of modern business. I want to be trained more vigorously in scientific methods of analysis and synthesis. There are a lot of opportunities and challenges in China that I do not yet fell fully confident to seize. My business career has so far benefited mostly the companies that I worked for, but a good business education in your university will probably become a new era for me.
Your university is well known for its excellence in China’s business education. I am sure that, with my extensive business experience, I can be a worthy student of yours. I am anxious to benefit from your seasoned guidance and take advantage of your research facilities.

5. 不要任意挪移位置
6. 不要把隨身物品亂放
7. 打完招呼后,等對方開口提問
8. 交談中,眼神閃爍不定, 不要咬嘴或噘嘴
9. 不要打斷對方,以及和對方爭論
10. 不要有小動作(掏耳朵、摳鼻子、撓頭皮)
11. 避免口頭禪
12. 表達不清晰
13. 無論是自己沒能夠聽清楚考官的問題,或是已經(jīng)回答完畢,包括在回答問題時由于思考而引起的停頓,都需要用明確的語言告訴對方,切忌默不做聲!
要學(xué)會聽懂考官問題
英語中的問題一般分為兩種形式:close-ended questions 和 open-ended questions
前者只需要用一、兩個詞作答,而后者則需要進一步的解釋和說明。一般來說面試當(dāng)中,為了避免談話陷入沉悶單調(diào)的氣氛當(dāng)中,考官一般是要將這兩種問題有機地結(jié)合起來。考生要準確把握對方所問問題的性質(zhì),給予其想要的回答,從而避免了對于只需要簡短回答的問題啰嗦個沒完,對于需要進一步闡釋的問題卻回答得不夠。兩種情況都會給考官留下不好的印象。
一般來說兩種問題的引導(dǎo)詞有比較明顯的不同,請大家注意掌握:
Close-ended Open-ended Both
Are…?
Do…?
Who…?
When…?
Where…?
Which…? How…?
Why…?
In what way…?
Tell me about… What…?
【注意】
對于open-ended questions,在組織答案時,最好先用一句話或者一個短語將你要說的主要意思總結(jié)一下,這樣不僅可以再拖延一點時間,而且也有助于對方聽清楚你的答案,從而會比較容易留下思路清晰的好印象。
e.g. Interviewer: Why do you want to study for MBA?
Candidate: That’s a rather difficult question. There are two main reasons, I suppose.
如果考官對你的回答不甚滿意,你也許會聽到這樣的問題:
I’d like to know some more about…
Could you tell me a bit more bout…?
Sorry to press you, but could you tell me…?
Sorry, I don’t quite understand, could you tell me …?
I didn’t quite follow what you said about…
Meaning?
For example?
Then you?
Therefore?
Which means?
So then?
例如:
A: How did you happen to move here?
B: I like the climate better.
A: Better than…
B: Better than the polluted air of the city.
A: Which means…
B: Which means I can expect better overall health for myself.
沒聽懂對方在說什么怎么辦?
千萬不要往過蒙。!
你可以:
承認自己不知道答案:
e.g. I’ sorry. I don’t understand.
Sorry. I don’t follow.
或者:
請對方重復(fù)問題:
e.g. I didn’t catch that. Would you mind repeating it?
Could you repeat the question, please?
再或者:
請對方為你澄清你沒有聽清楚的個別詞:
e.g. Sorry. I don’t know what you mean by ‘Union Jack’
Would you mind explaining ‘Union Jack’?
