MBA英文面试攻略

　　MBA入学面试的形式每年都可能有些调整，但变动不会太大。英文面试的主要目的是判断你的英语水平是否适应MBA的基本要求。面试时一般是两个老师，一个老师为主，另一个基本上不做声，只偶尔插话。你一般会被要求用英语简述自己的简历。然后老师会问你一些问题，比如你为什么要考清华而不考北大，你的第二志愿学校为什么要那样选，你工作经历中的一些事情，等等。估计每个人的都不一样，基本上是根据你的简历提一些相关的问题。下面将几所主要院校的MBA英文面试流程做个简单介绍。

MBA英文面试攻略

　　清华大学

　　1）、中文面试结束后，另行安排时间进行英文面试，可根据时间段自己寻找面试搭档，两人一组。

　　2）、抽签决定面试讨论问题，给几分钟准备。先由老师对个人提问，问题较简单。

　　3）、二人针对抽签决定的话题进行情景对话。内容多且涉及广泛，通常涉及社会热点，对某事的观点，生活态度等内容，时间3分钟。

　　场景举例：

　　1）、在商场，一顾客和一售货员在谈话；

　　2）、两位大学同学毕业多年后首次见面；

　　3）、在交通堵塞的公共汽车上两位乘客在交谈；

　　4）、快放暑假了，两个同宿舍的大学生在谈计划；

　　5）、在操场上，一学生碰上他的老师也在锻炼。

　　北京大学

　　1）．中文面试结束后，由一位考官对每位同学问一个问题。

　　2）．问题内容多涉及：来自哪里？工作情况？个人爱好？性格特点？毕业院校？专业？公司介绍？

　　3）．问题较简单，且考官有时在你听不懂时，再用中文问一次，态度随和。

　　人民大学

　　1）．题目相对简单，主要提问教育背景、工作背景，教师会根据考生所回答问题进一步深入提问。时间大约每人5~8分钟。。

　　2）．一名英语专业的老师进行面试（个别小组的老师为外籍英文教师），另一名记录助手一般为在读研究生。

　　3）．一般不会提到涉及管理理论方面的问题。

　　复旦大学

　　英文讨论一些个人的内容,涉及背景,期望等.

　　整体侧重口语表达,一般听说流利即可

　　南京大学

　　要求用英语进行自我介绍，然后回答面试专家的提问，这部分占20分。

　　西安交大

　　1）．选择题号。

　　2）．老师念题。

　　3）．考生作答。

　　湖南大学

　　（1）、英文自我介绍。

　　（2）、提问：你在MBA联考中认为哪一学科最难，为什么？你的职业规划是什么？毕业后你是否会更换行业以及工种等等。你的实践知识和书本知识的区别？实践与理论的区别。这部分占5分钟。

　　注意事项：

　　回答随机提问时的注意事项：

　　1、充分准备，把可能的问题和答案先翻译成英文，牢牢背诵；

　　2、面试中尽量往自己熟悉和有准备的领域引导；

　　3、注意发音和语调，语速以稍慢为好。

　　4、虽然说提高英语水平不可能一蹴而就，但个人简介还是可以尽量写得精彩，背诵熟练，有条件的话找个高水平的人指点一下，除了修改语句，还可以纠正发音，这样可以提高你的起评分；由于事先了解到考官的问题基本上围绕个人简历（包括所提交的中文短文），难度不大，所以准备的时候，与自己经历相关的词汇要尽量多掌握。英文面试与中文面试的最大区别在于，这次面试主要是考察英语水平，也就是说考官不看你说什么，就看你怎么说，你只要不离题太远，大可畅所欲言。考官的问题平均有5、6个，回答不上也不打紧，就是别停，保持和考官的交流。对考官的语音大可不必担心，大多数都不怎么标准，听不懂时来句“I beg your pardon” 请考官再说一遍也不失为一种互动的交流。此外微笑、目光也都有助于交流。

　　进行情景对话时的注意事项：

　　1、尽快确定谈话主题，分配角色；

　　2、相互配合，形成交流；

　　3、语速以慢为好，尽量说得清楚明白。

　　小结：

　　 所有的英语面试都是以考查考生实用英语表达能力为宗旨，回答的内容其次，也就是我们常说的It is not what you said that matters but how you said it。

　　 没听明白可以重问

　　 尽量表现得轻松自然

　　 讲话要流利，不要拘泥于内容，过难的内容就要绕过去，不会过分查证信息的真实性

　　 就同作文的要求一样，不要有语法错误。有一两个精彩之处，发音、气质、谈吐，意思传达的比较准确、通达就可。

　　 语速。不能过快，也不能过缓，要在面试之前找找感觉。

　　 着装。一定是正式，切记。

　　 举止。不能含胸缩背，坐着乱动，更不要主动寻求与考官握手（当然一般没有机会）。

　　 学会倾听。注意：集中精力，面带微笑，眼睛注视对方的“倾听”，而不是左耳进，右耳出的“旁听”。

　　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?

　　 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.

　　一些背景资料：

　　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（个人介绍----样本）

　　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.

　　英语中的问题一般分为两种形式：close-ended questions 和 open-ended questions

　　前者只需要用一、两个词作答，而后者则需要进一步的解释和说明。一般来说面试当中，为了避免谈话陷入沉闷单调的气氛当中，考官一般是要将这两种问题有机地结合起来。考生要准确把握对方所问问题的性质，给予其想要的回答，从而避免了对于只需要简短回答的问题啰嗦个没完，对于需要进一步阐释的问题却回答得不够。两种情况都会给考官留下不好的印象。

　　一般来说两种问题的引导词有比较明显的不同，请大家注意掌握：

　　Close-ended Open-ended Both

　　Are…?

　　Do…?

　　Who…?

　　When…?

　　Where…?

　　Which…? How…?

　　Why…?

　　In what way…?
