带你体验16金发院面试全程及一些建议

大洼村代表 · 发表于 2016-4-8 11:25

以综合成绩前20%拟录取几天了。今早醒来就想着要不要写一篇经验？试了试竟能回忆起已经过去十多天的大部分面试内容。不再犹豫，楼主将采用夹序夹议方式开写。
正文———————————————————————
3月26日早晨，也是前晚笔试之后，楼主6点半左右起床，穿上正装，吃了早餐，就往学校走去了，步行20分钟后约提前20分钟到达。
注：这段流水帐里有一个大家普遍爱问的问题:要不要穿正装? 当时面试现场情况是60%以上都是正装，所以显然正装更合适。至于要不要打领带，个人喜好吧，楼主不知配什么领带好，所以干脆没打。哈哈

到了现场后，到了的同学都在背诵或默读自我介绍,专业课英语要点什么的，十分钟后，导师们驾到，研究生学姐叫我们在里面搬了些凳子在外面坐着，接着复试按复试编号顺序开始进行。当然复试按复试编号单数双数分为两个小组，分别由院长和副院长领衔。我在双号组。研究生学姐宣布面试开始，请了第一位同学进去，并请接下来的同学做好准备。
注：这段又是流水帐，目的是让17er完整感受下整个流程。显然这段等待时间最重要的是调整好心态和最后在默念一遍自己准备的内容。楼主背了遍自我介绍和重要的专业概念英语
另：有些面试完的同学会透露些面试内容，如楼主得知面试可能没有自我介绍，需要注意下，但不必强求。

接下来就到楼主了。深呼吸，大门敞开，忘了有没有敲门(应该是敲了)，径直走了进去。(面试是在教室进行，考官坐在下面第一排，考生在讲台上的位置,考官应该只能看到考生上半身。)到位后站着，说了句Good morning ,professors. 接着便按要求坐下，略去不表。考官有：副院长冉齐鸣，郭枫教授，何重达教授(不确定)，高文莲教授等，共六七人吧，记不清了，因为提问主要就冉，郭，何三位教授。面试内容开始：(“高保真”还原,当然用词可能有些差别，同时请各位忽略语法错误，哈哈)

冉：What's your major?
Me：My major is Material science and engineering.
冉：What's material science?
Me:Material science is a major studying the properties of materials and about how to improve them and get the expected combinations of them.
冉：What's the relationship between finance and your major?Or what abilities do you gained from your major that will be beneficial for finance studing?
Me:I think the analysis ability i learned from my major will be beneficial,we deal with problems based on doing experiments,but economy based on model analysis.but被打断
冉：I would like you to use examples to illustrate the points you mentioned.
Me：Sure. Take data analysis as example.We do experiments to get data, then analysis data, trying to get the expected results. In economy, we collect data, analysis data and incorporate them in particular model to get the results.被打断
注:这算是第一回合吧。显然这个问题是根据本科专业引申下来的，应该是很有通用性的一个问题。作为跨专业，被问到本专业和金融的联系，也早该料到。但楼主没准备，所以胡诌，还好英语还算流利，勉强应付。另外，楼主没有自我介绍。
冉：Do you have read any book about economics ?
Me:In my sophomore year, as a beginner, i have read the <principles of economy>by Mankun.被打断
冉:Which part or concept impressed you most?
Me:I think it maybe the concept of opportunity cost.
冉：What's your understanding of opportunity cost?
Me:When someone makes one decision ,the opportunity cost was the alternative he gives up. For example, if you choose stocks instead of bonds,the opportunity cost is the expected return of bonds.(但是没这么流畅)
冉：(极为不满状)I don't know whether it is your language problem or understanding problem?
Me:(楼主意识到出大问题了，开始紧张，重整思路，重新表述)Opportunity cost is the best alternative someone gives up when he makes decision. For example被打断
冉：Okay. I think you got the point.(啊！虚惊一场，松了口气)I noticed you choosed two elective courses about finace .
Me:Yes. Those courses are impressive and intriguing and opend an unprecedented new world for me.(有准备)
冉：Do you remember the teachers` name?
Me:(瀑布汗，作苦思状)Oh，I am sorry i couldn't remember them.
郭：(笑)Do you always easily forget professors` name?Or because you always play truancy?
Me:I am so sorry. But i don't think so.I think it is may because the time is too long.

注：算是第二回合吧。楼主在这一回合很惊险！当问及读过什么书时，毫不犹豫说了曼昆的经济学原理，但第二个问题，哪个概念你映像最深刻时有点纠结于：机会成本，边际，最优等，最后说了机会成本。但事实上第一次陈述机会成本这概念时表述错误，第二次终于说对，差点给自己挖了个大坑，真是惊险!很难想象一个连机会成本都不懂的人能通过研究生面试。后面郭老师的问题也很尴尬，因为楼主两门选修课都是60多分，的确有经常缺课的嫌疑(事实就是缺课被点名哈哈哈)，只能以自己是往届生来推脱。现在回想才意识到以上真是可怕，这也可能是有些同学面试完感觉良好结果被刷的原因吧，他们没意识到老师很随意的问题可能处处是陷阱。

老师们这才注意到我是往届(汗，有点后悔告诉他们了)
冉：Oh.You graduated some years ago. So, what are you doing after you graduated?
Me:I was working as a process engineer in a foreign capital company.
郭：What's your responsibilities at that job？
Me:My responsibilities are to refine quality of the product and to do researches and experiments to promote TPS system.(哈哈，楼主有备而来)
何：Tell me something about MM Theory?
Me:MM Theory was first proposed by Modigliani and Miller in 1959 and 1961.And proposition one was known as capital structure irrelevance theory. It suggests that it does not matter what capital structure a campany uses to finance its operation.Put it in another word, the total value of a leveraged firm equals to an unleveraged firm.被打断
何：What do you know about "@$$%%**"?
Me:I am sorry. I don't get your question?
何：^^&&$&$road^^$&‘>‘‘>_‘<belt$^$&$&&
Me：(一脸茫然状)
何：一带一路！(这时老师们都在那笑，我自己也笑了)
Me：Oh .It's about politics.
冉：No，it's economy.
Me：Politic economy.
郭：Political economy(纠正)
Me：The first thought comes to my mind is that there is a double win here and it's about international cooperation. And the real problem under the surface is that China's productivity is too high and our domestic demand is insufficient ,so we need to export our product to boost our economy.
冉：You think that China's productivity is too high?
郭：I think he means production ability.
Me:Yes, i mean in some industries production capacity are too high based on my experience.

这算是第三回合。这是楼主最顺畅的一回合，因为所问问题都有准备而且应该是得分点。(一个专业课问题一个热点问题，虽“一带一路”没听懂，但我觉得老师觉得没什么，这也是我唯一没听懂的一次和全场唯一一句中文)楼主这里的建议是把专业课重要概念在investopedia这个网站搜索下，整理做成卡片，背熟，专业课问题跑不出这些范围。楼主大概做了30个左右卡片(推荐anki这个app)。

冉：Why do you choose to study finance?
Me:I think i am more suitable and more interested in finance. I have about 8 years experience study mathematic competition and i have read many books
when at college.And I was 被打断
何：Efficient market hypothesis！(何老师此处不是提问，只是取笑我来读金融是因为有效市场理论，哈哈，我以为是让我解释)
Me:Efficient market hypothesis suggests existing share prices always reflect and incorporate all relevant market information.被打断
冉：Tell Me something about dynamic optimation. you can use an easy example to illustrate this .Take easy,We just want to learn something from you.
Me：(沉思状)I must confess that i don't know about this.
何：Aha.Finally,you have something to learn from us.
冉：Whenever someone tell us they are good at mathematics, we always want to learn something from them.
Me：Haha.You are so humble.
冉：(看了看表)OK. I think we can finish this interview here.
郭：You impressed us,thanks.
Me:Thanks.Thank you.

面试结束。鞠躬后走出。感觉楼主终场做的很不好，被一句可能郭老师跟谁都说的you impressed us 高兴的冲昏了头脑，忘了说一些客套话。以上回忆忘了一段关于弹性的讨论，略去不表。
总之整个面试过程轻松愉快，丝毫感觉不到紧张，有惊险之处也算平静的掠过。但楼主过于放松，有时竟忘了是在面试。

以上，望有帮助。并祝福17ers！
