5分钟搞定PwC/JPM/McKinsey面试官之后,我总结了这些满分面试套路!

2017-09-27 等待面试的警长 留学生求职


从上周开始,一直有同学问警长

“四大发面试通知了吗”

“为什么我还没有收到消息”

统一回复:还没有

在消息来临之前,你最应该的是准备面试


笔试虽然有难度,但是可以刷题

面试才是最容易挂人的环节

能到PwC/JPM/McKinsey面试这一关的

都是职场精英+学霸

但是真正懂得如何面试的,不到10%

据HR透露,虽然面试一般都会持续半小时,

其实很多面试者的命运在前5分钟就已经基本决定

后面的25分钟基本上就是走过场。

你有反套路去应对面试官的套路吗


面试中最常见的几种问题,听起来很简单,但其中往往暗藏玄机,面试官从你的一言一语就可以判定你是不是他们想找的人才,所以在接到面试邀请之前就要做好准备。


1Why this firm? 

几乎每次面试都会有这个问题,通常出现在HR电话面试中。这个问题是为了考察你有没有进行研究,面试官希望你了解你是否符合公司的价值和文化。

获得信息的最佳方式就是与在此工作的人交谈。联系校友,问问他们公司文化的独特性所在,并且用在面试中。你甚至可以在Wall Street Oasis上发布话题,让行内人帮忙解答!The Company Database也是一种很有用的工具。


如果你面试的是精品投行,要谈谈你觉得在更小的环境和团队中,会有更多机会和责任。如果面试的是华尔街投行,就说你更喜欢参与在报纸上了解到的大型交易,或者你更喜欢某个团队中的特定职位。


Response Example:

In talking to a number of people at your bank, I get the sense that your culture is what really distinguishes it from its competitors. While this firm provides top-notch service and competes with all the major firms, those I have spoken with say it maintains a boutique feel. This allows for smaller deal teams, which will give me more responsibility and—I hope—more exposure to live deals. Additionally, as many hours as are worked in finance, I think one of the most important things is to get along with your colleagues. All those I spoke with here said they respect their colleagues and are friends with them both in and out of the office. 


2What are your strengths? 

变异题目是:你觉得自己哪里适合在这个岗位?

在你准备去面试之前,你必须准备好三项你认为最有优势点,跟你面试官分享并且每一个点都要有实例来证明这是你的强项。


这些强项最好要和你申请的岗位对口,分点来答,每一项能力之后要有案例支持。你可以说:“比如说,有一次……”这样的话你可以开始你的故事。提供一个例子,证明你作为数理分析员所应该具有的分析能力,沟通能力,能迅速学习的能力,对细节非常看重的能力,能够持续工作直到你手指不能动为止也能够面带笑容。


你可以说你在某一领域获得过什么奖,但是千万不要过分卖弄。可能你的面试官在专业知识比你所知道的东西更加深入,并且知道一些你所不知道的东西。如果你一直自吹自雷,会引诱面试官用他的专业知识库对你进行挑战。


Response Example:

 

As you can probably tell from my resume, I have strong quantitative skills and performed well in school. However, I think one of my greatest strengths is vital for finance but not necessarily something that can be documented. That is my ability to learn quickly. At my internship last summer, I was brought into the office by my boss, given an old version of an Excel model and a list of variables he wanted to be able to tweak, and told to go rebuild the model from scratch. At the time, I had no previous modeling experience, no training, and no idea what I was doing. I knew my boss didn’t have time to hold my hand through the process so I had to teach myself. I bought a book and used Internet resources to learn how to rebuild the model to my boss’s specifications, in a very short amount of time. My boss was amazed at the quality of the model, and it is now being used for his analysis and in presentations to clients. 


3What is the biggest obstacle or challenge you have faced and overcome in your life? 

记得在电视节目上,HR表明不接受非985211学生,她的其中一个理由就是:当我问到你曾经遇到过什么挑战,如何解决的?985211的学生是在某大公司研究项目遇到难题,而你是学生会的工作安排。这能比吗?


这确实是很难回答的问题,有的同学没有实习经验或者一路有贵人相助,一时间根本想不出有遇到过什么困难,那么就会给面试官一种你没有能力,没有经验的印象。


如果这个困难可以联系到你的学校或者工作是最好的。一个比较好的故事是当你面对一个完成陌生的情况,你自己去慢慢了解,把事情做好。这是用来表现出你特别爱学习,在工作中主动,有决断能力。


Response Example:

The biggest obstacle I have had to overcome was paying for college. I managed to do it in a combination of ways. Initially, I took out student loans, but then I began paying my tuition in cash and paying off some of my student debt early. I’ve waited tables several nights a week throughout all my college years, and I now work at a very popular restaurant, which pays me pretty well on a consistent basis. However, what I have most enjoyed doing to support myself is graphic design. In high school, I was into art and photography and my graphic design skills are pretty strong. When I began my business education, I didn’t have time for those types of classes, and I missed it. However, I have been able to earn extra money developing logos, letterhead, business cards, and presentations for student start-ups as well as some local businesses. All of this extra work has helped me to pay for a good portion of my college costs. 

4What role do you like to take in a team situation? 

变异题目:你在团队活动中喜欢做领导者还是做一个跟从者。


表现出你不仅能够做好领导者也可以做好一个好队员,对于面试者来说是很重要的。谈论一些你曾经的参与过的项目证明你在两个角色都可以做得很好。或者谈论一些团队合作技巧(沟通能力,协作技巧等)这些沟通技巧是如何在作为领导者以及作为组员中发挥作用。


Response Example:

I’m comfortable leading a team or taking instructions from another leader. When the leadership isn’t appointed, I think it’s useful to consider my teammates’ concerns and preferences. In one of my classes last year, I was placed in a group where nobody was confident about the subject matter, so they all kind of shied away from taking responsibility. In that particular group, I thought I could help by taking initiative, so I stepped up to coordinate the group’s assignments. In another group situation, where one student was insisting on taking charge, I was happy to support him. He was able to communicate his ideas and organize a plan, which allowed the rest of us to deliver our tasks on time with high quality. Overall, I think the quality of leadership is more important than who provides it, and most important of all is the quality of the team’s work. Since every situation presents a unique set of personalities, it’s important to read those personalities and identify how you best fit into the group dynamic. 


5为何选择投行/sales and trading?

问题变形:你最希望在这份工作中获得什么?


下面是对这一常见问题的回答建议:

可以说你一直对金融很感兴趣,喜欢金融课程,希望在初级阶段的工作中获得实际的金融经验。虽然这个答案很无聊,至少比较安全。


可以说即使在初级职位,金融业的评价标准也是工作能力,所以你通过努力工作和良好表现可以获得应有的回报。


最后,要解释你希望把教育和生活中学会的技能应用到工作中。(要准备好列出这些技能和来源!更多细节请参考“你的强项是什么?”这一问题)


Response Example:

After talking to a number of people in the industry, I find two aspects of this job especially attractive. First, I see it as an incredible learning experience. I know that with the number of hours I will be working, I will essentially be gaining four years of work experience in only two years. I will learn so much, so fast, and this job will prepare me for anything I decide to do for the rest of my life. Additionally, I expect to thrive in an environment where I am rewarded for my performance, rather than for just showing up. I look forward to having the chance to take on responsibility at an entry level and prove my value through the quality of my work. I know this job can be extremely difficult both physically and mentally, but I am ready for the challenge.

6What do you see as your weaknesses as an employee? 

中国面试官往往用这个提问来衡量申请人是否有自知之明或者开诚布公的勇气,外国面试官则往往更加注重这个问题的“后续问题”——你将如何避免因自己的缺点而影响工作质量。


这个问题可大可小,千万不能较真,可以说大家共有的通病,例如:对于自己感兴趣的话题或者领域,会非常喜欢讨论,甚至有点爱出风头。但是见到了更多的大牛,就明白了山外有人,我需要学习的更多。


Response Example:

Well, maybe my weakness sounds a little bit strange to you. I think my weakness is that I talk too much. I like to express my opinions. My classmates say I am bossy and like to show off. I’ve also noticed that I don’t listen enough because I am talking too much. So I write down a reminder on my notebook, “Listen more, speak less.” But interestingly enough, even when I feel I am speaking little my co-workers still pat my shoulder and say, “Susan, you are an active person!” The “talker” impression doesn’t go away easily.


7Do you have any question?

这个问题也几乎是每家公司都要问的,千万不要不说话!(最怕空气突然的安静),都进行到面试了,下一步基本就是拿offer,但是你需要了解的问题还是很多。员工培训(自己有没有培训的机会,可以到其他国家工作)、员工晋升(大概几年晋升到什么岗位,部门的体系)、员工福利(除了基本工资,还有什么其他福利)等方面的问题。

你过五关斩六将,通过层层筛选,

但最后,企业能了解你的时间只有半小时

就算你才高八斗,学富五车

在面试中表现不佳,也是白搭
