第二階段(進一步談話和討論)
須 知

第三階段(誘導(dǎo)問題)
須知
當面試官要求您問他/她一些問題來收集資料時,您知道第三階段已經(jīng)開始。這可以算是一種角色扮演游戲。想在這個階段取得高分,您必須做到以下幾點:
1)明白自己角色的處境并知道自己需要什么資料;
2)控制局面,問的問題必須能發(fā)掘最多的資料或能解決某些問題;
3)在面試官給您的一些卡片中選用一些準確和適合的問題發(fā)問。
應(yīng)做和不應(yīng)做的事
應(yīng)做的事
1)肯定自己完全明白自己所扮演的角色和處境;
2)將過程分開3部分:設(shè)定背景,詢問問題和說“Thank you”和“Goodbye”;
3)在角色扮演前先說明您的角色和您想知道什么;
4)盡量問多些問題發(fā)掘所有資料,您至少需問10條問題。
不應(yīng)做的事
1)當您對狀況不肯定的時候,不要勉強假裝自己明白,您可以請面試官再重覆一次;
2)在未設(shè)定背景前不要開始問卡片上的問題。盡量令對話顯得自然;
3)不要在題目上找些字眼來組成問題,題目的作用只是一個起首的介紹,它有時并不能組成自然流暢的問題;
二、如何答得好且答得快
1、多閱讀雜志,中文的、英文的都可以,比如《讀者》,一般雜志都會把一個現(xiàn)象從許多角度進行分析。
2、用你可以找到的任何PartIII的問題來練習思路,要求自己對問題計時想出3個關(guān)鍵詞,回答問題的時候參考用。
3、把問題分類解決,找出共同的答案特點,和通用的思路,比如社會問題的解決方案,這類問題無非是政府可以立法、企業(yè)可以贊助、個人可以提高認識。
4、聽到一個問題練習迅速用一些泛泛的句子去回答,以贏得時間思考答案,比如開頭可以回答:
Different people have different opinions. Some believe... while others hold...
