Another important thing is that the interwiew becomes a conversation betwen the interviewer and the applicant.

ReplyDelete1. Is very important to know about the company, because they will do questions like: why do you want to work here? Or, what is it about this company that you like? So then, you should research about the company, what they do and the company’s culture, etc.
2. The second step is have prepared a short speech about yourself, because they wants to know about yourself. But don’t tell them about where you grew up; they aren’t interested about these things. This is the time to highlight yourself and tell them why you deserve this job.
3. Is important to know your resume, because is possible that they want to know more about some things that you did, like your studies, jobs or your skills and strengths.

ReplyDeleteIt's kind of late but...
the video is about tips on how to have a successful interview (in this case it was an interview for a job but the information can be applied to university entrance interviews too). Basicly, it suggested to practice a lot; to know about the place where you're going and why you want to go there; to make sure you know what's written in your own C. V. and highlight your strong points, not irrelevant stuff.
To have a good interview need to know about the place where it is to submit, ask questions about what we want and expect, make sure to review information provided by the scholarship, must be well prepared and safe when talking, make activities for know what makes you nervous, do mock interviews, stay informed about recent developments and more in the area of field you want to carry out. Have an adequate personal presentation, smile and make eye contact help be a good candidate. Is important to say what you think and not what they want to hear.
