潜水一年多，今天终于可以贡献签经啦。

本人背景：人大98本科，管理专业，去年BU Econ Ph.D. 全自费，北京2次被拒。工作半年
多，今年Minnesota商学院Ph.D.全奖，专业人力资源管理。

早上8点10分到使馆门口，约得58号，已经叫到200多号了。贴照片、存包，心想今年的安
全通道又加长了，然后就进去了。事隔一年，再次走在长长的通道上面，心里有一种终于
可以完成去年没有完成的心愿的感觉。

进入大厅，1、2窗口交表，4－9签证，右侧已经排了几十人，签证官们还没上班。我觉得
有点紧张，就在旁边椅子坐下，又检查了一次表格，做了几下深呼吸，然后准备排队交表
，这时看到在发金黄色牌子，忽然想起irrovy说hfmm喜欢金黄色，于是在队尾犹豫了一下
， 又一想，算了，管他什么颜色呢，究竟谁签也不可预测，就交表了。结果刚好到我前面
那个人开始发红色，我就领了一个红色牌子，去右侧排队。就在我交表的时候，VO们开始
上班了。

4号没看见，5号一个中等个子、头较大的TT（sorry），不知道是不是大家说的DTT（怎么
感觉跟我去年看得的那个不太一样，要不就是我记不清楚了），好像拒人较多。6号美男，
很率，长得也很cute，人很nice and patient， 不会随便拒人。7号hfmm，长得的确有点
像桑德拉布洛克（one of my favorite movie stars），令我不停的盯着她看（hehe），
可惜她拒人实在太多了，也签的最快，到我签过为止，我只看到两个人在她那签过，看样
子都是非典型，其中一个去美国两次了。8号一个平头男VO，不知道大家叫什么，签的巨慢
无比，从我8点多排队到10点半拿到签证，他连一队还没签完，有过有拒。9号高个TT（so
rry），人不错，挺friendly的，过的也不少，跟美男差不多。

我在心里想，除了hfmm，不管碰到谁我都是有把握的，不过最好还是能让美男签。可是美
男叫走了旁边的金黄色，我心里一阵后悔没有早点交表。紧接着hfmm签完了，跑到2号窗那
边去拿牌子，我后面的一个男生说“完了，死定了”。这时我就想irrovy说的，把心一沉
，决定一博。谁知hfmm举起了浅黄色牌子，我们心里直庆幸。接着是我们后面的浅粉色被
叫到5号窗，紫色被叫到4号，就是不叫我们红色。正纳闷中，武警gg喊：“红色到我这儿
来”，我抬头一看，竟是6号美男那里，心里这叫一个乐。

可是出人意料，我前面的3个gg全部被拒，好像都不是全奖，一个J1，两个F1，其中一个是
去Harvard 读master。每个人都说的挺多，美男很耐心，要拒签时就贴在玻璃上很诚恳、
详细的解释为什么拒签，并且不立刻盖章，而是还会给人解释的机会，不过感觉他做决定
挺认真，除非能说出非常convincing的东东，否则很难改变他的决定。不过看着前面接连
被拒，我一点也不紧张，感觉不管别人怎么样，我都肯定能过。第一个悲剧的最后对美男
比较厉害，美男好像受到惊吓了似的，心情不太好。第四个就是我了：

vo: Jamie!
me: Yes, here ：） Good morning, sir, nice to meet you.
vo: Nice to meet you, too. How are you doing?
Me: oh, I’m pretty good! Thanks for asking
Vo: @#$%^&*()_@#$%^&* (没听见，因为跟我说的“Thanks for asking”重叠了)
Vo: So, Industrial Relations? (我的I20上Major一栏写着，但跟我的实际program的名
称
    有点区别)
Me: Yes, at Carlson school. :)
Vo: Is it a MBA program?
Me: No, Ph.D.
Vo: What subject?
Me: The subject is Industrial Relations (为避免不必要的麻烦，我就按照I20上说
    的), and I want to study the American Labor Unions and their impact on
    Human Resource Management. Then I’ll do comparative research between
    American Labor Union system and Chinese industrial relations. You know, th
e
    workers in the US…(想进一步举例解释，被打断)
Vo: (看着我去年被拒签的156表) You was going to Boston University last year.
Me: Yes.
Vo: Which major? (这里我明确感到他是明知故问，有设陷阱的意思)
Me: Economics, exactly. (我非常自信、肯定地回答)
Vo: So, you changed your school and changed your major, this is @#$%^&*(声音有
点
    变小，边说边摇头)
Me: Actually, this program ranks top 2 in America, and they only admitted 4
    students among near 200 applicants. I’m very proud that I’m the only one

    from China. (这句针对”why changed school”)
Vo: But …….. industrial relations, ……….. economics…………（还是说我转专

    业）
Me: Well, that’s exactly one of my big changes I’m gonna tell you. (这句还是
妈
    妈帮我想出来的，感谢妈妈！我说得很自信，美男抬头看了我一眼) After I worked

    in my former company, I came to have great interest in industrial
    relations, and with careful consideration, I found that this major not onl
y
    integrates my previous undergraduate study in business and my preparation

    and interest in economics, but also has more opportunities to do new
    research and product publications. You know, this area is very new in
    China. I don’t want to study what everybody will study, I want something

    new.
Vo: (看着我的156表) But you quitted your job.
Me: I had worked there from last September to this April. And then because of

    SARS and I have to apply my passport in my hometown, I went back. Now, I’

    ve been reviewing some text books for my further study.
Vo: 不置可否，低着头，不说话。
Me: （看他没表态，继续解释）Well, I got a basic knowledge of management in my

    undergraduate study and I learned all areas of management (说这句时他又抬头

    看了我一眼). This is my advantage! Otherwise they won’t give me the offer
!
    They need students who have such background as mine. You know what kind of

    subject they will use to do research on industrial relations? Economics!  

    Labor economics is very important to this area. They also need the
    knowledge of Management, such as Human resource management, psychology and

    so on.
Vo: Did you apply any Chinese schools?
Me: No, because I want to study American Labor Union and do comparative
    research. And in China, if you got a Ph.D. from the US, you will receive

    more preference.
Vo: Then what kind of job you want to have after your graduation?
Me: I want to join the faculty of one of the best business schools in China.

    Actually, one of my schoolmates of University of Minnesota who also got th
e
    Ph.D. from the same program as mine entered PKU immediately after his
    graduation. He also wrote a letter for me. You wanna have a look?
Vo: 点头，伸手要
Me: 看他看信，继续说 Another practical important reason (for changing my major
)
    is that the salary of the faculty in business school is almost half more

    than those economists. I can never make 300,000RMB a year if I don’t stud
y
    it (industrial relations) there (university of minnesota). Only in busines
s
    school can I make that much money. I think people have to be practical.
Vo: 看完SL，开始玩电脑，还是不理我。
Me: 怕他偷偷在心里做决定，于是继续说 You know, I worked in the Department of

    Human Resources at my former company, CUEC, and I coordinated the
    relationship between the employers and employees, and studied the incentiv
e
    mechanism for our employees to motivate them to work harder and smarter,

    and …..(被美男打断)
Vo: Ok, I got you, 同时以“迅雷不及掩耳盗铃之势”将蓝条撕下与SL一起推出来，仍然

    面无表情，好像要拒人的架式
Me: 看到蓝条下意识的说了声thanks，然后忽然明白已经过了，赶紧使劲冲他笑笑，丢下
句
    have a nice day就自觉的跑到window 10 去了。

整个interview有一半以上的时间都是我一个人在说，美男好像不怎么理我似的，就看了我
的SL，其他什么也没看。我也没看到他何时在我的156上划圈的，只顾说了：）

有些感想和建议，明天再接着写，现在实在太困，怕把梦话写出来啦：）
