考研复试技巧：如何在面试中一鸣惊人
经历了近一年废寝忘食、夜以继日的学习，终于盼来了今天高兴的时刻，考研成绩揭晓，你成功的步入了初试的大门，但这并不意味着考研的成功，因为还有一个复试，只有通过复试后，才能进一步谈研究生录取。进入复试，各个学校一般是30%～50%的复试成绩比重，有些学校的学科更是要进行实践或实验能力的考核等，只有通过了这些特殊的测试才有录取资格。
事实上，从确定复试分数线的那一刻开始，所有上线的考生都处在同一起跑线上，成功或淘汰的几率几乎是相同的。所谓“机会面前，人人平等”，不论分数高低，都要调整好心态，不骄不躁，不卑不亢，认真应对，走好第一步。复试以笔试和面试两种形式进行，笔试与初试的考查形式一样，面对一份试卷没有学生自由发挥的地方，只能靠自己的专业实力。而面试在复试中却是具有决定意义的环节。
面试主要考查的是学生的灵活性、逻辑性、应变性等整体素质。在面试中，考生的专业实力固然非常重要，但面试的技巧也很关键。面试技巧有如行军布阵的兵法，运用得当，往往会成为考生脱颖而出的杀手锏。
如何在面试中一鸣惊人，成功的走进研究生这一高学历行列呢?下面对复试中面试礼仪技巧做一下说明。
一、仪表庄重
仪表庄重、严肃会给老师留下良好的第一印象。在穿着方面：男生应该尽量穿西服或者比较正式的服装，注意服装、鞋子、头发的干净整洁;女生千万不要穿紧身衣或者短裙，打扮得体，适当的化淡妆，展现最真实的一面。这里关键是提醒大家要注意穿着，不能太过于随便，要让老师有被尊重的感觉，更有利于整体的气氛把握。
二、动作得体
在复试之前，一定要明白自己在紧张的时候，有哪些动作，然后把它戒除掉。因为每个人，在紧张时候都会有自己的行为动作，比如紧张的时候，会搓手或者揪耳朵之类的这种动作，这些动作都是很不雅的，所以你一定要了解自己的这种下意识动作是什么?然后在面试之前要训练自己，让自己努力克服掉。
在进复试房间时，一定要保持抬头挺胸的姿态和饱满的精神，不要与人交谈时频繁地耸肩，手舞足蹈，左顾右盼，坐姿歪斜，晃动双腿等，这都是不好的身
三、礼貌当先
细节往往透露出你的不足之处，因此礼貌在整个面试过程中尤为重要。进门的时候一定要敲门，然后很有礼貌的表示对老师的尊重，鞠躬比较好，或者对着各位老师说声“老师好!”问好的时候一定要用眼神扫一下各位老师，不能就望着一位老师说。因为每一位老师都不希望被忽视，这一点要注意。如果平时不注意这方面的同学们在面试的时候应该刻意的注意一下。
另外，在进面试室之前一定要先把手机关闭或者调成震动状态，千万不要出现在面试现场手机响个不停的尴尬局面。如果真的在面试过程中出现没有意料到的尴尬局面，在面试结束后一定要向老师表达歉意。
在进入面试室前，为了缓解自己的紧张状态，可以嚼一块口香糖，既可以让自己口气清新，又可以缓解压力。
面试结束后，一定要站起身，向老师笑着说声再见，摆好因自己起身而弄歪的椅子，细节决定成败，你的这一表现，无疑会为你增添砝码。
四、谈吐清晰
面试时认真听老师的提问，认真思考后思路清晰的回答问题，注意语速不要过快，适当的语速会让别人感到舒服，觉得听你的讲话是一种享受，而且自己也会消除紧张的感觉。
嗓音可以看出一个人是否紧张，是否自信等，平时应多练习演讲、交谈的艺术，控制说话的语速，不要尖声尖气，声细无力，应保持音调平静，音量适中，回答简练，不带“嗯”、“这个”等无关紧要的习惯语，这些都显示出在自我表达方面不专业。
尤其是在英语面试的时候，如果是自己口述而不是老师问问题的话，应该尽量把自己的英语介绍材料浓缩，语速千万不要太快。如果你语速太快而且句式复杂的话，会给老师一种表现太过的感觉，这里的意思不是说老师不愿意听到学生
很好的表达能力。关键是在老师面前说话要说的清楚明白，让老师有很好的印象。还有要表现的尽量谦逊一些，再怎样谦逊，老师是不太会介意的。篇二：关于英语面试技巧,我的经验是
关于英语面试技巧，我的经验是：
1、准备自我介绍，要介绍与所申请的工作有关的性格特点，经历，以及对它的理解，一定要把它背下来，再生动地说出来。
2、你要对这份工作有充分的认识，包括一些相关的单词术语，以及活动内容什么的。
3、准备几个对这项活动的问题，在面试最后问出来，体现出你对它有很大的兴趣和你诚恳认真的态度。 以下是一则别人的面试经验之谈：
英语不好如何巧过英语面试
经过一番紧张的笔试之后，那家闻名于世的日本通讯公司终于寄来了面试通知书，要求我参加6天之后的面试，而且特别注明“要加试英语口语”。这一加试可真是突然袭击，如果考英语笔试我还有把握但要说英语，我简直就是哑巴一个!
该放弃呢?还是坚持到最后一关?我思忖着，仔细分析了一下所面临的处境：其一、我所应聘的职位是办公室文员，说英语的机会应该不多，没理由考难度大的专业类英语口语，考日常用语的可能性极大;其二、
笔试的时候，我留意观察了那些竞争者们，我的条件绝对不差;其三，也是最关键的，硬着头皮考上它一场，我什么损失都没有啊。
考虑好了对策之后，我到书店买了本《漫游日本》日语基础书及配套的一盘磁带，接下来便是依照计划按部就班的6天了。
第一步，用中文写下问题及相应的答案。这一步骤的要求是越细致越好。假设自己就是考官，想问考生哪些问题，诸如：“请介绍一下你的个人经历”、“说说你的家庭状况”、“你的业余爱好是什么”、“你为什么要到我们公司应聘”、“你对日本了解多少”等等大大小小凡能想到的问题，然后写下自己的回答。
第二步，用英文翻译上面的问与答。这一步骤的要求是越规范越好。翻译时稍没把握好时，便立刻翻看词典、语法等工具书，同时让那本《漫游日本》派上用场。我先译成中文再译成英语，因为只有这样，才能把意思表达得更全面，条理更清晰。
第三步，背诵及模拟考试。自问自答地进行实战演习，以便更好地适应面试。
最后，别忘了该公司来自日本，学习几句简单的日本问候语，全面地翻看一下日本国情介绍，做到知己知彼百战不殆嘛。
面试的那天下午，略施粉黛的我身着职业装进入考场，面对着中日两方共6位考官时，我首先用中日两文说“下午好。”其后所考的英文口
语涉及到个人经历、兴趣爱好、日本国情等诸多问题，我从容应对总算说得过去。面试结束时，我在鞠躬之后真诚地说了一句“请多关照”。
没等几天，我便欣喜地收到了该公司的正式录用通知书，艰苦的一搏，我终于找到了走向社会的第一份工作。
以下是一些面试礼仪提醒：
六大礼仪让你的面试迈向成功
我们在现代生活中比较重要的是礼仪问题，服饰打扮、举止言谈、气质风度、文明礼貌，无一不在影响着你的形象，决定着你的前程和命运。由于举止得体，面试获得了机会，这个机会是工作机会也是学习机会，你将在工作中不断提高自己的能力。反之，如果职场上不注重礼仪，本来很好的机会，可能由于举止言行的某一个失误，则将面试失败，导致终生机不再来。
案例：米琳大学时就听人说就业不容易，所以毕业前就投了很多简历，可都石沉大海，没有结果。后来好容易盼来两家面试机会，可是，都因没有作过面试辅导，面试出了问题。自己感觉明明不错，可就是没通过。于是找到宏威职业顾问进行咨询，才知道这里面有很多学问，于是在做了职业生涯规划之后又加了面试辅导，从头到尾对面试前、面试过程、面试之后的所有要求，做法和问题作了全方位辅导，又针对专业
和职位进行了场景训练。再次面试时心中有了底，心态也非常好，信心十足、面带微笑、语气和缓、应对自如，不但顺利通过面试，还得到面试官赞许的眼光和点头。米琳高兴极了，因为她终于用专业求职者的姿态，在众多竞争者中颖而出，进入了一家著名的外资公司，在同学中最先找到了合适自己的工作。
分析：
面试，就是当面考试，谁懂得礼仪，谁就拿到加试分，谁就容易拿到高分，谁就最先通过，谁就最先拿到第一桶金。你在整个发简历、面试过程中就要全套专业，这样才能击败对手，求职成功。那么，面试过程中，要注意的礼仪是什么呢?
面试礼仪一、时间观念是第一道题
守时是职业道德的一个基本要求，提前10-15分钟到达面试地点效果最佳，可熟悉一下环境，稳定一下心神。提前半小时以上到达会被视为没有时间观念，但在面试时迟到或是匆匆忙忙赶到却是致命的，如果你面试迟到，那么不管你有什么理由，也会被视为缺乏自我管理和约束能力，即缺乏职业能力，给面试者留下非常不好的印象。不管什么理由，迟到会影响自身的形象，这是一个对人、对自己尊重的问题。而且大公司的面试往往一次要安排很多人，迟到了几分钟，就很可能永远与这家公司失之交臂了，因为这是面试的第一道题，你的分值就被扣掉，后面的你也会因状态不佳而搞砸。
如果路程较远，宁可早到30分钟，甚至一个小时。城市很大，路上堵车的情形很普遍，对于不熟悉的地方也难免迷路。但早到后不宜提早进入办公室，最好不要提前10分钟以上出现在面谈地点，否则聘用者很可能因为手头的事情没处理完而觉得很不方便。外企的老板往往是说几点就是几点，一般绝不提前。当然，如果事先通知了许多人来面试，早到者可提早面试或是在空闲的会议室等候，那就另当别论。对面试地点比较远，地理位置也比较复杂的，不妨先跑一趟，熟悉交通线路、地形、甚至事先搞清洗手间的位置，这样你就知道面试的具体地点，同时也了解路上所需的时间。
但招聘人员是允许迟到的，这一点一定要清楚，对招聘人员迟到千万不要太介意，也不要太介意面试人员的礼仪、素养。如果他们有不妥之处，你应尽量表现得大度开朗一些，这样往往能使坏事变好事。否则，招聘人员一迟到，你的不满情绪就流于言表，面露愠色，招聘人员对你的第一印象就大打折扣，甚至导致满盘皆输。因为面试也是一种人际磨合能力的考查，你得体、周到的表现，自然是有百利而无一害的。 面试礼仪二、进入面试单位的第一形象
到了办公区，最好径直走到面试单位，而不要四处张望，甚至被保安盯上;走进公司之前，口香糖和香烟都收起来，因为大多数的面试官都无法忍受你在公司嚼口香糖或吸烟;手机坚决不要开，避免面试时造成尴尬局面，同时也分散你的精力，影响你的成绩。一进面试单位，若有前台，则开门见山说明来意，经指导到指定区域落座，若无前台，则篇三：英文面试技巧和注意事项
英文面试技巧和注意事项
很多求职者，在面试时，因为有足够的面试经验，知道如何准备面试，最后都能游刃有余的完成面试。但是这样的表现仅仅在于中文来面试或者在国内的企业面试，但是如果换成了外企或者是在国外求职的面试的时候，往往再强的“面霸”都会打个6,7折。对于将要有一场英文面试的朋友来说，最好还是面试前做好充足的准备，也许你的英文已经够流利，但是面试不只是普通的交流，而且面试前一定要彻底的了解公司的背景，同时一定要懂得英文面试的技巧，这样的话我们才能更好的来准备面试，和在面试过程中顺利的发挥我们的水平。面试在求职过程中，可以说是压力最大的一个环节。面对外国老板连珠炮似的提问，如果能回答得从容不迫、简明扼要，恰当中肯，而且合乎老外的口味，那么肯定会大大增加你的录用机会。以下的经验就是有关英文面试的一些准备和技巧，希望提供大家参考。
一、英语面试前准备：
1. 准备好所有证书材料，譬如与专业能力相关的资格证书，或参加 培训 的资料，最好和应征职务有直接关联，不但可证明自己在这一方面所做的努力，也表示具有这个潜能。
2. 面试时自我介绍内容应强调应征的动机以及想应征的岗位，因此收集好相关岗位的情报，自我介绍时才能胸有成竹，切合主题。
3. 对目标公司所在地、规模、在全球(原文来自：wWW.DxF5.com 东 星资源网:面试英文技巧)的活动概况等要事先有所了解，包括总公司在国内设立分公司的时间、业绩表现、经营规模，以及今后打算开展的业务等，若能得到业界的评价更好。如无法得到书面资料，也要设法从该公司或其他同业中获得情报。
二、英语面试时表现3方面（诚意，能力，业绩）：
回答问题时口齿要清晰、语调适中。内容要有条理、避免重复。介绍工作经历采用倒序，从最近一份工作谈起，着重强调有利于新工作的职务经历。最好能说明曾担任何种职务、实际成绩、业绩等，以及自己的工作对原来公司的影响。凡和此次应征不相关的内容，尽量避免提及。话题紧扣以下3方面来展现自己的优势。
1、诚意。某个问题发表完见解之后，可以附带加上一句：i?d like to hear your opinion.(我很想听听你的意见。)这句话表明了你对面试人的尊敬，很容易使他(她)产生亲切感。当面试人在试探你的应聘诚意时，应该及时表态：so far as that is concerned， you must have understood my determination.(谈到这里，您一定已经明白我的决心。)问些与工作内容相关的问题，能表现你对这份工作的兴趣。如：what other responsibilities do you think this job will include?
2、能力。当你知道招聘单位目前急于用人时，首先把自己的专长讲足说够，然后顺理成章地得出结论：i think your unit needs a man like me.(我想，贵单位需要象我这样的人才。)用这样的句式，让面试人认为你是站在他们的立场上说话，在替他们的发展考虑问题，于是更容易接受你。陈述自己的任职资格时，可以这么开头：i?m qualified for the job because??(我能胜任这项工作，是因为??)接着陈述理由。当面试人在审视你究竟能不能胜任此职时，参照的标准已不再是他心目中的标准，而是你列举的理由。
3、业绩。外国公司面试喜欢用事实说话，用数字说话，为了证明你的能力，你可以把过去的经历联系起来，说明你曾经为以前的公司解决过跟现在雇主所面临的类似问题：i explored beijing market and sold 50，000 sets in one year.(我开发了北京市场，一年销售出去5万套。)
三、英语面试时具备3p原则：
自我介绍时应该记住“3p原则”：pertinent(中肯)，personal(个性)，positive(自信)。谈吐自信，就是要积极地进行自我肯定，让面试人充分了解你的优点与潜能。突出个性， 就是要把自己与众不同的特点发挥出来，强调自己的专业与能力。语气中肯，就是要实事求是，不要言过其实，夸夸其谈，也不要涉及和自己无关的事情。
自我介绍应简洁明了，给面试人留下思路清晰、反应快捷、逻辑性强的印象。自我介绍时间不宜太长，话不宜太多，最好控制在五分钟之内。不要一谈起自己就口若悬河，滔滔不绝，以免言多语失。另外，在自我介绍时应避免过多地使用“i”(我)，不要每个句子一开头就冒出一个“i”字，给人留下自我标榜、以自我为中心的印象。
灵活的应聘者往往会把“我”开头的话，变成“你”字打头。例如，面试人说：would you please say something about yourself?(请你谈谈自己的情况好吗?)应聘者则说：do you want me to talk about my personal life or to say something about the job?(你想让我谈谈我个人的生活呢，还是与这份工作有关的问题?)这样，你的谈话就把面试人摆了进去。这种谈话的方式所产生的效果是不言而喻的。面试毕竟是面试人与应聘者互相沟通的一种场合，应聘者时常把面试人摆进自己的谈话当中去，自然而然就起到了互相沟通的作用。
英语面试中，当然要对英语口语的一个要求是很高的，所以在投递了简历后，我们就可以开始准备我们的面试了（这样准备时间会更充足），我们可以多找一些英语面试的题库来做参考，同时多准备一些句型。这样准备好后，能让我们的面试更加事半功倍。

篇三：英文面试中常见问题的回答技巧
英文面试中常见问题的回答技巧
Here are good answers to some of the tougher questions asked in job interviews. If you can smoothly supply answers like these during the interview, you are bound to make a good impression.
1. What is important to you in a job?
Mention specific rewards other than a paycheck for example, challenge, the feeling of accomplishment, and knowing that you have made a contribution.
2. Why do you want to work for this organization?
Cite its reputation, the opportunities it offers, and the working conditions. Stress that you want to work for this organization, not just any organization.
3. Why should we employ you?
Point to your academic preparation, job skills, and enthusiasm about working for the firm. Mention your performance in school or previous employment as evidence of your ability to learn and to become productive quickly. If the job involves management responsibilities, refer to past activities as proof of your ability to get along with others and to work as part of a team.
4. If we hire you, how long will you stay with us?
Answer by saying along these lines: "As long as my position here allows me to learn and to advance at a pace with my abilities."
5. Can we offer you a career path?
Reply: "I believe you could, once I know the normal progression within the organization. Can you tell me about it?" The answer may be revealing.
6. What are your greatest strengths?
Give a response like one of the following: "I can see what needs to be done and do it", "I'm wiling to make decisions", "I work well with others," "I can organize my time efficiently."
7. What are you greatest weakness?
Identify one or two, such as the following:" I tend to drive myself too hard", " I expect others to perform beyond their capacities", " I like to see a job done quickly, and I'm critical if it isn't." Note these weaknesses could also be regarded as desirable qualities. The trick with this question is to describe a weakness so that it could also be considered a virtue.
8. What didn't you like about previous jobs you've held?
Discuss the things you didn't like, but avoid making slighting reference to any of your former employers.
9. How do you spend your leisure time?
Mention a cross section of interests-active and quiet, social and solitary -- rather just one.
10. Are there any weaknesses in your education or experience?
Take stock of your weaknesses before the interview. Practice discussing them in a positive light. You'll find that they are minor when discussed along with all the positive things you have to offer.
11. Where do you want to be five years from now?
Saying that you'd like to be president is uealistic, yet few employers want people who are content to sit still. You might say, "in five years, I'd like to have my boss's job. " If you can't qualify for your boss's job by then, you may not be the fright candidate.
12. What are your salary expectations?
If you are asked this at the outset, it's best to say, "Why don't we discuss salary after you decide whether I'm right for the job? "But if the interviewer asks this after showing real interest in you, speak up. She or he will probably try to meet your price. If you need a clue about what to ask for, say, " Can you discuss your salary range with me?"
13. What would you do if....?
This question is designed to test your reposes. For example: "What would you do if your computer broke down during an audit?" Your answer there isn't nearly so important as your approach to the problem. And a calm approach is best. Start by saying, "One thing I might do is ..." Then give several alternative choices.
14. What type of position are you interested in?
Job titles and responsibilities vary from firm to firm . So state your skills instead, such as "I'm good at figure work," and the positions that require these skills , such as "accounts payable."
15. Tell me something about yourself.
Say you'll be happy to talk about yourself, and ask what the interviewer wants to know. If this point is clarified, respond. If not, tell why you feel your skills will contribute to the job and the organization. This question gives you a great opportunity to sell yourself.
16. Do you have any questions about the organization or the job?
Employers like a candidate who is interested in the organization. so this is a perfect time to convey your
interest and enthusiasm.
