The "standardized" high-quality candidates expected by MBAs in prestigious schools are highly educated, rich management experience, clear career development planning, etc., if you have the above characteristics, then congratulations, you are largely the Maxima that these business schools are looking for. But if you wear sneakers to the interview scene in a suit and leather shoes, your classmates may think that you are an outlier, and the first impression of the examiner will not be good Therefore, the necessary interview etiquette must be mastered.

Grooming. 1. About hairstyles.

Boys are neat and well-dressed; Girls can choose to tie up their long hair, and their whole face should be exposed in shawl hair, and girls should try not to dye strange colors.

2. About makeup.

It is recommended that girls wear light makeup to look more energetic, avoid heavy makeup, and avoid bright nail polish.

3. About dress.

Generous and decent, in line with the professional image, formal attire.

Ladies: suit, preferably a skirt, the color should not be too showy;

Men: suits, shirts, ties, dark tones are preferred, no too obvious patterns.

4. About the gaze.

Don't look around or watch all the time, and keep looking at the other person during the conversation.

Behavior. 1. Do not rush into the interview room, candidates must knock on the door first, and get the permission of the examiner before entering the room;

2. Generally, do not shake hands with the examiner, unless the examiner takes the initiative to shake hands with you;

3. Do not rush to sit down when the examiner does not ask you to sit down, it is best to sit down after the examiner's approval;

5. At the end of the interview, the examiner will smile, stand up, thank you, and say "goodbye", without taking the initiative to reach out and shake hands.

Mentality. The MBA early interview is not a serious battlefield, nor is it a child's play, if you don't know the mentality clearly, you may not behave properly in etiquette. Some candidates think that it is too serious, so it is not necessary for the teacher to be too reserved or nervous when asking questions or talking to the teacher.

Being too nervous will affect your performance, making your brain blank, and when you meet such a student, the interviewer may sympathize with you, but will not appreciate you.

Similarly, some candidates are too childish in the examination room, and they behave very aggressively and don't care, which is a big taboo. When you have a question or a conversation, you should be calm, and even if you are a little nervous, try not to show too much in your expression and tone.

Therefore, adjusting your mindset before the MBA interview in advance is conducive to getting a high score in etiquette and impression!

The first cause effect. Psychologists point out that our impression in the minds of others is generally formed within 45 seconds of first meeting, and it is difficult to change once formed, which is the "first cause effect", also known as the "first impression effect". 60% of other people's first impression of you comes from your appearance, and 40% comes from your voice and the content of your conversation.

In order to make a good impression on the examiner, the choice of clothing, makeup, and appearance for the interview are very important.

In recent years, the MBA admissions policy of famous schools has undergone great changes, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Chinese People's University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Fudan University and other famous universities have successively launched an early interview policy, the introduction of this policy shows that the MBA exam pays more attention to the examination of candidates' management potential, and students who have obtained the interview pre-admission qualification are eligible to apply for the written examination of the school's MBA, and the written test score is admitted when the national line is crossed. The early interview is conducted before the exam, and the re-examination is conducted after the exam, no matter which format, it is the most important method on the scale of MBA admission, and the importance is as important as the written English and management subjects.

As we all know, the essence of MBA training: admitting students who have the potential to become excellent professional managers to enter the business school. The written test only tests the candidate's basic foreign language, arithmetic and logical thinking, and writing skills.

However, the interview process examines the most important management potential, such as analytical judgment ability, communication ability, breadth of vision, depth of thinking, mental maturity, etc. In other words, passing the written test is only a necessary condition, and the most important thing for business schools is the soft power of candidates.

Therefore, in order to improve the probability of passing the interview, candidates should be prepared in the following aspects:

Clause. 1. Understand the training objectives and examination requirements of each business school, and find an MBA program that suits you.

Clause. 2. Study the enrollment brochure of the target institution, and find senior brothers, senior sisters and other people who have come to understand the situation.

Clause. 3. Prepare application materials, personal profiles, and recommendation letters that can clearly describe your personal image and temperament, and show your best side in front of the examiner.

Clause. Fourth, it is necessary to strengthen some basic skills training in a targeted manner, learn management knowledge and management ideas, and care about and analyze current political hot spots.

Clause. 5. Conduct physical and verbal training to be able to express ideas clearly and appropriately and debate.

Clause. 6. Strengthen oral English training. If you are applying for IMBA, basically all interviews will be conducted in English. Even for ordinary MBAs, in addition to the Chinese interview, the English speaking interview is also a necessary part of testing the candidate's English level.
