刚刚被NGS面试了。持续了九分多钟。虽然不知道结果会怎么样,但是还是希望分享一下自己的收获和资料。算是攒人品吧! 我的面试问题:
1st: Introduce yourself.
Further question: why you like high jump?
2nd:Have you apply the universities in USA?
Further question: Have you receive offers from other universities?
3rd: Have you contacted with professors in NGS?
4th:Tell me your contribution in the published papers.
5th:You spoken English is not very good. How do you fell about this problem?
今天早上,把整理好的Interview打印了,然后就是训练了。我感觉,主要是语速和语感两方面。其他的,都很难段时间改善。一边,练着回答;一边,进一步浓缩问题,提炼回答要点。最后,基本上,也就一页纸;而且,心里也变得坦然了。下午,又练了两遍,就等着Skype被人呼叫了。结果,出乎意料,手机响了(多亏没关机)。Anuradha very nice。 忍受了我极其惨烈的听力,解释了半天。然后,我半听半猜要我加NGS的Skype。Email 来得很快,我加的也很快。可是,咱不经常用Skype,所以不知道Camera没开啊。于是,和面试老师瞎侃了一下,把摄像头开了,才正式面试。 持续了大概七八分钟吧,就结束了。忽然发现,准备了一天,就为了不到十分钟啊~~~顿时明白了,养兵千日,用兵一时啊!

由于我个人很讨厌没有个性的谈话,而且,我确实经常和牛人聊天,所以,就问了这么一个问题。不过,这也要看自己的喜好啦。哈哈
