不同院校的提前面试在英语能力测试的环节存在一定差异,但最常见的形式是现场即兴问答和抽题问答。这两种考核形式比较类似,题目大致都可以分为:自我介绍类、职业类、非职业类。
本期主要和大家分享如何攻克非职业类常见考题。非职业类题目可能涉及到个人生活类、性格类、学习类、社会时事类等。考官希望通过这样的题目来了解考生的性格、个人素质、家庭背景、学习能力和态度、对时事的关注度和见解等。

个人生活类
该类题目可能会就家乡、家庭、个人兴趣爱好等方面进行提问。在回答该类问题的时候,大家要注意体现出自己正能量的一面以及比较积极向上的生活态度。
如果老师的提问与家乡或家庭相关,建议大家表现出对家乡和家庭的热爱;如果被问及平常的兴趣爱好或业余生活等,也尽可能体现出自己有能力有效地利用工作以外的时间做一些有意义的事情。

性格类
本类题目旨在了解你在自己或者他人眼中是一个什么样的人,具备什么样的缺点和优点,你的性格以及优缺点是否适合成为一个优秀的管理者。
