Part 2 技巧
美国留学的面试环节可是你唯一的一次在面试官面前展示你才能的机会。那么美国留学MBA的面试过程要注意些什么?美国留学MBA面试有哪些技巧呢?下面毕达教育就给大家说说美国留学MBA面试技巧。
一、Arrive on time：
不要迟到，这是最基本的，这是你尊重他人的最基本的体现，如果真的有特殊状况导致无法准时到的话，也一定要先打电话告知原因，最好是提前几分钟到。要知道第一印象是非常关键的，迟到的话可能会导致很糟糕的第一印象。
二、Appearance：
最安全的着装方式还是保守地着装，穿正装就可以了，以示尊敬。
三、Eye contact：
可能跟传统的行为习惯有关，跟西方人相比，中国人在交谈中可能eye contact少一些，而且由于紧张，有的人的眼神就变得飘忽不定，给人以不够confidential的感觉，或者是让人感觉到你没有engage到谈话中来，这都会影响别人对你的印象。与此同时，从面试官跟你的eye contact中，其实也可以看出他是否engage到谈话中来，如果面试官频繁看手表或者是开始有一些小动作，那么有可能你讲的内容并没有引起他的共鸣或者是兴趣，这时你可能就要考虑有说调整。可见eye contact是面试过程中的一种非常重要的communication。
四、Body language/movement：
尽量避免小动作，比较可行的方法是把手放到桌子上以管好自己的手，很多人在紧张的时候就会出现小动作，这算不上是什么big deal，但是对于他人而言可能会使他们感到不comfortable，从而影响他们对你的impression。
五、Engagement：
通常商学院的面试都是你讲得多，而面试官则是听得多，这么一来面试的好坏会在相当程度上取决与你讲地怎么样。如果连你自认为最精彩的故事你都讲得没有engagement，就不make sense了。或者听你讲故事的面试官没有engagement，在面试过程中你要留心面试官是否有在专注，如果面试官开始不专注或者是出现频繁看表或其他的小动作，这时你可能就要注意是否自己讲跑题了需要把主题拉回来。总之，在面试过程中非常重要的一点就是要manage好面试双方的engagement。
六、Energy level：
在面试过程中你说表现或者保持的energy level也是面试官们通常要考察的一个重点，因为高的energy level跟你是否能够适应商学院高强度的学习生活以及以后能否适应更高强度的高层管理工作都是紧密相关的，因此在面试过程中保持好的energy level是非常关键的，这也是展示你的passion的很好的机会，要给人留下充满活力的感觉。
