第二阶段(进一步谈话和讨论)
须 知
当面试官要求您详细回答一些事情时,您应察觉第二部分已经开始了。通常题目会是关于您的兴趣,您的工作和您的学业。您也许会被问及一件事的过程,一件物件怎样运作或一项游戏的规则等等。想在第二阶段有好的表现,您应该能做到以下几点:
1)不需面试官太多提示而流利地讲出个人见解;
2)能流利解释,描述或说明一件事情的发生;
3)表现出您愿意讨论这个题目,就算您对它不熟悉,您也可围绕着这个题目发挥。
应做和不应做的事
应做的事
1)开始回答时,先表示自己对题目的看法;
2)您起码要想到至少两个值得讨论的要点;
3)在正式开始讲解前,先说明您会提到的要点;
4)对不认识的题目,您可尝试猜测。用“maybe”,“perhaps”等字会比什么也不说好。
不应做的事
1)不要说您不懂这个题目或您从来未想过这些事情;
2)当您听不明白问题时,不用担心,您可要求面试官重复一次;
3)不要离题。否则面试官会以为您听不明白题目;
4)不要等面试官问问题,要表现出您有能力讨论题目而不需任何提示帮助。
