What should I pay attention to in the early interview for MBA?

Keeping the time is the basic etiquette for candidates to participate in the interview. MBA candidates should arrive at the interview venue before the specified time, adjust their status, and calmly participate in the interview, in order to leave a good impression on the supervisor.

MBA candidates should dress neatly and elegantly. In the interview, you should pay attention to your posture such as sitting, standing, and walking, because good manners can give people the impression of being educated, knowledgeable, and polite, so as to gain the affection of others.

The basis for the success of the MBA interview lies first in the individual's accurate positioning of himself and the overall appeal strategy based on this positioning. The self-orientation before the interview is to carefully design the self, so that the individual can produce a clear and distinct personality in the interviewer's mind, in line with the characteristics of an excellent MBA.

The important thing in self-positioning is not to change oneself, but to shape one's self-image based on the interviewer's understanding of the characteristics of a good MBA, and to design a set of best strategies to influence the interviewer's personal identity based on this image.

When positioning, consider the following questions: what kind of person you were in the past and what kind of person you want to be in the future; What is the difference between you in the future and who you are now, how to achieve a personal turn, how to convince people that you can successfully achieve a turnaround; What are your strengths and weaknesses, what is your personality, temperament, etc.

Before personal positioning, we must be based on the content of the resume (registration form) and recommendation letters, combined with their own personal actual level, outline a more suitable image for themselves, and on this basis, apply strategies and skills to shape, so that their image is more distinct and prominent, the key is to highlight the advantages, dilute the shortcomings, make the image suitable for themselves, and empirically prove the advantages.

It can be said that in the case that the institution does not know the candidate, the interview is the best way to conduct a comprehensive quality inspection of the candidate in a short period of time.

The MBA pre-interview is mainly divided into three parts: online application materials, individual interview and group interview. I just took the MBA interview in '18, and I will pay attention to the whole and each part.

On the whole, the application materials for the MBA interview determine the examiner's first impression of you and the idea of asking questions, and the face determines and determines your overall personal impression again, so the important thing is to say three times, be sure to write good materials, write good materials, write good materials.

The subdivision:

The online application materials are our façade, so no matter what kind of MBA interviewer we face, the materials are crucial, real and logical can make us not surprised, calmly deal with it, and when the teacher asks questions, there will be a situation that does not match the materials. The key words of the online application materials are: authentic, logical, combined with the enrollment philosophy and training direction of different MBA colleges and universities to highlight their own advantages.

It's important to think about where your strengths are and write them out logically.

The personal interview lasts for 20 minutes, 2 3 minutes for self-introduction, and the last 5 minutes for an English interview. The key words are: positive and enthusiastic, smiling, confident and calm, logical, highlighting advantages, and controlling time.

First of all, positive enthusiasm can affect the mood of the teacher, and the teacher who is in a good mood gives a high score, which can also affect his mood and eliminate tension. Second, no matter what questions the teacher asks, he or she should be clear and logical, and highlight his or her strengths, showing that we are the excellent students that MBA admissions colleges and universities want. Finally, let's talk about the English interview, and the English interview is a point to pay attention to:

Say. It must be said that people with a poor foundation in English should give the examiner a feeling that you are fluent, and those with a good foundation in English should highlight the advantages of their fluency.

The group interview is a total of 60 minutes, basically 10 minutes to review and write opinions, 1 and a half to 2 minutes per person to state their views (12 16 minutes), 25 minutes to discuss freely, 5 minutes to summarize the report, 5 minutes to supplement, if the previous time is used too much, there may be no time to supplement. The key words of the group are: win-win cooperation, arrange division of labor, speak effectively, pay attention to the examination of the topic, be enthusiastic and positive, make eye contact, and take good notes.

The backbone of the interview is to cooperate with everyone to answer the question perfectly, so it is important for everyone to cooperate, first of all, try to use the discussion time before entering the interview room, and everyone arranges the division of labor for everyone. Second, it is necessary to pay attention to the examination of questions. If an entire team is not clear, the result is total annihilation.

Thirdly, effective speaking is very, very important, and each of us has to speak effectively at least four times throughout the whole process. Finally, you can have some eye contact with the group members, as well as feedback such as nodding and smiling, which I think is a plus.

Hello classmates, the MBA early interview gives you some advice:

Smile as much as you can – a smile is a bridge of communication, showing your kindness and respect and showing your confidence. At the same time, pay attention to posture and etiquette. Keep the level of stress as low as possible. Don't attach too many body movements if you don't have to—that would look panicked.

Don't pretend to understand – that's what the interviewer hates the most! You can skillfully avoid your weaknesses, don't talk nonsense, and don't pour out your shortcomings related to the position you are applying for.

Pay attention during the interview – some interviewers have a low voice or a bad environment, and if you don't pay attention, you will hear it incorrectly or miss.

Give a strong reason for choosing you, such as your advantage over others. Loyalty, show a strong willingness to apply for SJTU MBA, and it is best to collect more information about the school before the interview, which will show your love for SJTU. Don't be late.

The precautions for the MBA early interview mainly include the preparation of application materials, appropriate dress, and preparation strategies for the exam in advance.

1. The key to whether the application materials can participate in the early interview is that only after your materials are reviewed and passed, there will be an interview quota, so you must take the effort to prepare well. The interview materials in advance will also become a personal reference for you to face the problem, which is an important way for the interviewer to understand the information.

2. Personal image is very important during the interview, which is the first impression you give to the interviewer. So being well-dressed and clean is the image that everyone who attends an early interview should have.

3. The interviewer's mind is difficult to figure out, so it is necessary to study various interview methods and Q&A skills with a variety of preparations, and be fully prepared.

When preparing application materials, it is necessary to highlight one's own advantages and explore the bright spots. After the application materials are approved, you will need to study your application materials, identify the abilities you want to show, prepare and sort out common problems, mainly related to personal career planning, and read the impact of MBA on your personal career development. In the MBA interview, the first thing to do is to introduce yourself, the time of self-introduction should not be too long, but it should not be too short, the control is about 2-3 minutes, self-introduction is a good opportunity for performance, you should grasp the following points when introducing yourself:

First of all, it is necessary to highlight one's strengths and strengths and not to be too exaggerated; secondly, to show one's own personality, so that one's image is vivid and one can appropriately quote the remarks of others, such as teachers, friends, etc.; Then, do not exaggerate in your words, but be true and credible in what you say; Finally, you should speak logically, and you should be clear and highlight the key points when you make your introductions, but you should not rush to list your own strengths as soon as you come up. From the very beginning of submitting the materials, I consulted with Huazhang's teachers, and under their guidance, I made various revisions and created a material that showed my strengths, learned from each other's strengths, and had my own personal characteristics. with the bottom in mind , you will not panic in the face of the examiner's questions .

Do an assessment

Nothing can be achieved with only passion and bravery. Seek truth from facts, see if your strength is in the first place, whether the background is enough, and whether the material optimization is good.

To give an example: you may get the excellence of the second-tier university, but you are out in the first echelon, not because the second echelon is not good, but in the early interview of a different echelon school, your opponent is not a grade at all, and you may not be able to defeat one-tenth of the strength of others when you play to the extreme.

Only by respecting objective facts and making a correct assessment can we increase the possibility of winning the best.

The importance of Chinese interviews

The importance of Chinese interviews is self-evident, if group interviews account for 30% and English accounts for 10%, then Chinese interviews naturally account for the majority. If you mess up, then it's basically hard to roll over.

There is a saying: many things are not what you think. You think you perform well and are confident, but in fact you are overbearing and aggressive in the eyes of the examiner; You think you are polite and humble, but in the eyes of others you seem cowardly; So dress well and practice your language, you can be mediocre and not make mistakes.

Find professional institutions and people to guide and evaluate in advance.

The decisive role of unimportant links

The group interview is a common part of the MBA early interview, that is, a debate topic is discussed in the form of a leaderless group discussion, and finally the conclusion is made in the group.

Perhaps, your group sucks and the conclusion fails, but if you yourself perform very well, you will still get excellent.

The MBA early interview is a green channel for students with strong management potential but relatively poor written test ability to enter MBA colleges and universities for the first time in 2009.

The green channel of early interview for MBA lowers the threshold for those who have long working hours and rich management experience to enter MBA colleges. For most colleges and universities with a score of more than 200 points in the normal batch interview, if you pass the early interview, then the MBA joint entrance examination only needs to pass the national line! Comparatively speaking, the difficulty is greatly reduced.

Moreover, on the one hand, the MBA early interview helps colleges and universities to choose the most suitable students, and also allows students to have more choice, and they can choose the most suitable school according to their own situation. On the other hand, this new way of selecting students promotes competition among universities, and also helps to promote the brand strength and influence of universities.

In other words, the establishment of the MBA early interview is to give outstanding students a minimum threshold and a shortcut to enter the MBA of a prestigious school!

Do I have to attend an early interview?

Everyone is encouraged to participate! And you can participate in two or three colleges and universities with an early interview for an MBA! Especially before applying for a prestigious school, if you are not sure, you can go to other colleges and universities to try it out first to find your feelings and experience.

Most MBA schools in China continue to raise the standard for candidates to be MBA interview scores and the ability to pay tuition. Not only well-known MBA schools such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Jiaotong University, but also for any business school that has the right to choose admission, the MBA interview score has the "one-vote veto" of whether to admit or not. And early interviews at these prestigious schools are a very difficult, complicated and luck-inducing process.

So be sure to seize the precious opportunity.

At the same time, some colleges and universities must participate in an early interview, otherwise they will not be admitted and there will be no re-examination. For example, Fudan MBA.

What should I do if I have time to attend an early interview in the future?

Except for colleges and universities that must attend an early interview. Other MBA colleges: If the written test score is finally higher, you can go through the normal batch interview after his written test.

If it is a prestigious school and a highly competitive university, it may be a bit hanging, unless the written test score is above 230+. In other normal and ordinary colleges, if the written test score is slightly higher and the competition is not very fierce, the normal approval should not be a big problem.
