墙裂种草 | 和美国面试官 侃大山 话题大全| 论如何在Pre interview dinner吃出offer?
真实故事:小编之前被Deloitte邀请到Final Round,有和几个面试官吃饭的机会(俗称Pre-interview diner)。
当每个人都只点了一个汉堡的时候,小编点了一盘最贵的大龙虾,开心的吃了起来。当别人都在聊天聊地聊远方的的时候,我却半句都插不上话,然后就没有然后了...
其实,不仅四大,投行,咨询公司也会有不少的和面试官吃饭的环节。
今天小编就为大家解读一下,同是面试考核的一环的pre-interview event如何破以及和美国面试官侃大山话题大全!
Pre-interview Event的基本信息
出席人士:HR, Partners, Middle management, Associates/Analysts
为什么要举办pre-interview event?
离开严肃的办公室,面试官这次要考核:
- 我是否放心让TA跟客户见面开会、做presentation?
- TA的姿态、说话方式和着装专业得体么?
- 我跟TA一起加班的时候会否有话题聊,会否感到comfortable?
就像情侣初次约会各自在观察对方那样,你整个晚餐其实都被观察中:
不会聊天?帮你准备好了

Event的must-do & don't
Do:
- 提早15分钟到达,除了展示你是尊重活动时间,你也可以沉趁大家还没到场的时候争取跟高层、recruiters们多一点一对一的交流时间
- 尽量跟每个出席的firm representative都握手、做自我介绍和询问名片
- 不论是谁在发言,也该专心聆听;你的面试官会观察你对其他“竞争对手”的态度
Don't:
- 进行时候注意餐桌礼仪,包括对侍应说的”please” 和”thank you”也不容忽视
- 活动后发送thank you email/follow up email给每位接触过的人,内容上提及一些让对方能想起在活动上跟你进行过的对话,并且加插你的一些个人亮点,深化他对你的印象;如果晚餐活动在面试前一个晚上,可以等到面试过后再发。
- 四大尤其是audit,很注重teamwork,所以不要太过进取或故意炫耀自己有多厉害,尽量展示你乐意跟其他人交流、合作、互相帮忙的一面
- 避免挑选进食比较麻烦、容易失仪态的食物,例如番茄汁意面,炸脆食物等
- 避免在饭局上喝酒,可以选择果汁或是一些较为健康的饮料
- 不要开过分名贵的车到场或带昂贵的包,让partner发现他的车或是包比你的“低级”会造成尴尬的场面
