Most MBA institutions in Shanghai implement the policy of early interview.
For students applying for MBA, MBA interview may be unfamiliar, so today I will sort out an MBA interview process in detail, hoping to help you in the future.
MBA entrance requires two parts: MBA interview and written examination. MBA interviews are held in colleges and universities from April to June every year +065438+ 10. Generally, it is an MBA college interview, preferably the first three batches. Because some colleges and universities will not give many excellent places in the later batches, the competition will be more intense. So I suggest you finish the first three interviews first. Petrochemical College generally recommends that you review the written test when preparing for the interview. The preparation time for an interview ranges from two months to one month.
One: Why do you want to have an MBA interview in advance?
MBA interview is also an important part of talent selection in colleges and universities. Compared with pure exam-oriented education such as college entrance examination, MBA enrollment tends to show students' comprehensive ability, and written examination is no longer an important part, as long as you can reach the national line. The purpose of MBA interview is to know and screen candidates in advance. The whole interview process will examine the candidates' abilities in appearance, language expression, logical analysis, judgment and decision-making, self-control, interpersonal communication, organization and coordination, adaptability, leadership, entrepreneurship, innovation consciousness, value orientation and professional ethics.
1: MBA interview in advance is a selective examination, and the process is particularly strict and professional. Focus on the candidate's professional work potential, ability or development space, and have outstanding comprehensive quality. If the written test is first followed by the interview, there will be a situation that the score is over the line but the interview is unsuccessful, which further leads to the double trouble that colleges and universities must re-select candidates and candidates must re-select institutions. Therefore, in order to make the selection of MBA more smooth, the admission process of "interview first, then written test" came into being, and the policy of "interview pass+written test pass = direct admission" was implemented. Because the interview is advanced, this policy is called "early interview".
2. The importance of early interview
"Unlimited improvement of admission rate" is the core function of MBA early interview. First of all, basically as long as the face is excellent and the written test is over the line, then there will be learning unless the political examination and physical examination are unqualified. Of course, famous schools will also brush a large number of candidates in the second interview stage, so the adjustment has become the key to the follow-up. Secondly, the promotion is divided into multiple batches and more time. If the target institutions are determined, they can be promoted in any batch, which is more free. This means that you can apply for an early interview according to the strategy of "guaranteed colleges+sprint colleges", and you can even choose "sparring colleges" to hone your interview skills and accumulate interview experience. Finally, the application strategy of "guaranteed colleges+sprint colleges" means that you have the opportunity to boldly sprint famous schools while preparing for the exam normally!
2. the process of 2.MBA interview in advance: (for the convenience of everyone's memory, I also believe in everyone's understanding ability. If you have more questions, please leave a message) 1: The interview process is divided into: online application materials? Personal interview and group interview.
(1) Online application materials: What needs to be emphasized here is that online application materials are really important. You need to find a professional teacher to help you. Why is it important? The MBA interviewer sees your material first, not you. Whether you can get the admission qualification for MBA interview in colleges and universities depends on your MBA interview materials. China is the key point that the college reminds everyone, and the interview materials need to be carefully studied. After all, this is the key point about whether you can get an interview invitation.
2. Personal interview ***20 minutes, 2 ~ 3 minutes of self-introduction, and the last 5 minutes of english interview, with personal interview questions and answers. The key words are: enthusiasm, smile, self-confidence, calmness, strong logic, highlighting advantages and controlling time.
3. The group meeting lasts for 60 minutes, which is basically 10 minute to review the topic and write opinions. Everyone has 1 minute and a half to 2 minutes to present their opinions (12 ~ 16 minutes), 25 minutes for free discussion, 5 minutes for summary report and 5 minutes for supplement. If the previous time is too long, the key words of the group are: win-win cooperation, arrangement of division of labor, effective speech, attention to exams, enthusiasm, eye contact and good notes.
Three: What are the common questions in MBA interview?
1. Closed question
Closed questions require students to make simple answers. This is an answer that only requires students to do a "yes" or "no" word or a simple sentence.
2. Open questions
This paper mainly examines whether MBA candidates' thinking is comprehensive, targeted, clear-headed, and whether they have new views and opinions. The questions raised in open-ended questions require students to explain and discuss separately instead of answering with a simple word or sentence, in order to answer the questions satisfactorily. The questions in the interview are generally open-ended questions, the purpose of which is to inspire students' thinking, stimulate students' potential and quality, let business school interviewers evaluate from a large number of output information, and truly examine students' quality level.
3. A series of difficult problems
Stress interview usually uses a series of oppressive questions, which are challenging. Its purpose is to create situational pressure, mainly to examine students' reaction ability, adaptability and endurance, logic and organization of thinking, etc. It can also be used to examine students' attention, instantaneous memory, emotional stability, analytical judgment and comprehensive generalization ability. Petrochemical College suggests that you still need to conduct more mock interviews before the interview, know what your shortcomings are, and practice repeatedly.
4. Background issues
The purpose of background questions is to get a preliminary understanding of students' basic backgrounds such as ambition, study and work, and to collect questions for future questions. Students' adaptability, emotional stability, planning, organization and coordination ability are investigated through situational test questions.
5. Behavior problems
Behavioral problems are the test forms used to examine students' behavioral skills and abilities, such as the significance and skills of interpersonal communication, the ability of organization and coordination, the ability of interpersonal communication, especially the ability to solve contradictions among peer organizations, the behavioral skills and abilities of interpersonal communication and building trust with colleagues.
6. Intelligent problems
Intelligent problem is to examine students' comprehensive analysis ability and their concern for society to a certain extent through the discussion of more complicated social hot issues. This kind of questions generally do not require students to express their professional opinions, nor do they evaluate whether the opinions themselves are correct, mainly depending on whether the students can make sense.
In fact, in the process of MBA interview, you will certainly encounter other problems, which will make you unprepared, so you still need to rely on candidates to improvise and some necessary interview skills. If you have any other questions about the MBA interview, you can consult Mr. Petrochemical.
Four: After the MBA interview, how important is it to perform well in the interview?
MBA interview results are divided into three grades: excellent, good and average. What's the difference between these three grades?
Excellent interview: According to the admission rules of MBA institutions in previous years, when you get an excellent MBA interview, as long as your written test scores pass the national line, you will be admitted.
Good interview: when you get this score, your admission score will be sorted from high to low according to the total interview score plus the written test score. At this time, your written test score is required to be 20 or more higher than that of the excellent students interviewed. If the college enrollment staff is full, you will not be admitted to this institution. Generally, there are very few MBA students in universities in Shanghai, which basically means that you need to transfer to universities in the west to study for an MBA or you can study for another year.
Students who passed the interview: The admission situation is basically the same as the MBA interview, but I still give you a suggestion. If you pass the interview, don't apply for this school (for Shanghai Middle School, especially No.4 Middle School). Unless the written test scores reach the top of the college entrance examination, you will basically not be admitted. But often these achievements are difficult to achieve.
To sum up, it takes two months to prepare for an MBA interview before choosing the time for the interview. You can come to China to attend the MBA interview tutorial class. Before submitting the MBA interview materials, you need to ask a professional MBA interviewer from China University to help you check the materials, and then you will be more sure to get an MBA interview invitation if you submit them. One month before the interview, I simulated the interview several times to let myself know where my shortcomings are. There is still time to adjust where there are shortcomings, so that you can reach the best state to participate in the MBA interview. When you get an excellent interview opportunity, you have to prepare for the written test. If you don't want a scholarship, try to cross the national line. If you have the energy, you can also sprint the prestigious scholarship. When you do well in the interview or pass the interview, if you really want to go to the university where you are interviewing, then you have to get 20 points or more preparation than the national line in the next written test. If you have other options, you can interview another institution as an alternative institution. In any case, the ultimate goal is to get yourself admitted to MBA institutions within one year, or to be prepared to study your ideal institutions within one year.
China Normal University sincerely hopes that all your wishes can be realized and your MBA can be realized.
