這個問題在很多類型的面試中都很常見，用來打開溝通的渠道并測試您對信息進行優(yōu)先排序的能力。在準(zhǔn)備回答研究生院的這個問題時，請列出您的主要成就、經(jīng)歷、興趣和個人 價值觀。考慮一下每一點與你在研究生課程中取得成功的能力之間的關(guān)系。面試官問這個問題是為了真正了解您的目標(biāo)和個性，因此請在保持專業(yè)性的同時，將您的回答個性化，并表現(xiàn)出真誠的態(tài)度。

Example: "I have been focused on academics for most of my life and will be graduating summa cum laude with a degree in economics and studio art from the University of Texas this spring. I first became interested in economics when I opened a small business in high school to sell my pottery. I started reading about economics to grow my business and became interested in the theory. That business provided me with a creative outlet and I learned so much about committing to a project. I'm hardworking, creative and passionate about learning even more about economics."

2.您將如何為我們的項目做出貢獻?

研究生院面試官感興趣的是您能為他們的項目帶來哪些益處。學(xué)術(shù)成就、獎項、成就和出版物都是對研究生項目有積極貢獻的例子。要有效地回答這個問題，請深入研究該項目，并將您的目標(biāo)和興趣與該系近期的工作聯(lián)系起來。如果您有與您的專業(yè)相關(guān)的具體目標(biāo)，請?zhí)峒澳媱澣绾螌崿F(xiàn)該目標(biāo)。

Example: "During my undergraduate education, I knew I wanted to publish some of my papers in an academic journal, so I worked with the Academic Success department and several of my professors to learn how to do so. I know how to use the resources around me to accomplish my goals, and have had two of my essays accepted by academic journals so far. I'm committed to continuing to publish innovative research that would support the amazing work you are doing in your department."

3.您的職業(yè)目標(biāo)是什么?

研究生院的課程通常會招收那些在自己的專業(yè)領(lǐng)域有雄心壯志和強烈目標(biāo)感的學(xué)生。實現(xiàn)職業(yè)目標(biāo)并建立令人印象深刻的職業(yè)生涯可以提升研究生課程的聲譽。您的面試官也希望確保該專業(yè)能夠支持您，并有利于您的學(xué)術(shù)和職業(yè)目標(biāo)。

Example: "When I started college I wanted to be a conservation biologist, but at the moment I am considering teaching as well. My professors have had such a strong impact on me that I would love to teach about conservation biology at the college level. However, before I teach others I hope to work in the field and publish a book on biodiversity in the Midwest. One of my lifetime goals is to create an interactive program to teach about conservation biology at national parks."

4.您的研究興趣是什么?

這個研究生院面試問題是一個展示您在所申請的特定領(lǐng)域的知識的機會。在回答這個問題時，請討論您過去的研究以及您的工作可能的應(yīng)用。解釋您為什么對某一專業(yè)充滿熱情，并舉例說明您過去是如何追求自己的學(xué)術(shù)興趣的。面試官可能會希望應(yīng)聘者在追求自己的興趣方面有良好的記錄。

Example: "Although I studied literature from different areas and time periods, my passion is definitely 19th-century British literature. Last year I was hired as the research assistant for Dr. Eileen Saletti, my British literature professor, and was lucky enough to discover how relevant Jane Austen and Emily Bronte are to our modern world. My presentation on the development of heroines throughout literature won several awards both at my university and at national conferences. I hope that my research can empower others to look at strong women from literature to inspire them."

5.告訴我一次你失敗的經(jīng)歷。

當(dāng)被問及失敗時，請考慮使用 STAR 方法來解釋您是如何處理失敗并從中吸取教訓(xùn)的。面試官將評估您對失敗的態(tài)度以及您是如何克服困難的。研究生院的課程通常非常嚴(yán)格，要求學(xué)生致力于克服失敗。特別是因為您面試的是教育環(huán)境的一部分，所以請利用這個問題來展示您從過去的錯誤中吸取教訓(xùn)的能力。

Example: "During my Intro to Chemistry course, I completely ruined my first experiment. I remember feeling very embarrassed but eventually worked up the courage to meet my professor after class to discuss how to prevent future mistakes and go over safety procedures. I learned so much from that one-on-one time and continued to have a mentorship relationship with that professor throughout college. I think that failing is the best way to learn, as long as you have the ability to seek out improvement and ask for help."

6.你認(rèn)為自己最大的成就是什么?

與面試官分享您最自豪的時刻，不僅可以向他們展示您的成功潛質(zhì)，還可以向他們 展示您的人生價值。無論您選擇什么作為最大的成就，都要把它與您想上研究生院的原因以及您將如何追求卓越聯(lián)系起來。此外，請解釋您選擇的理由，以便向面試官清楚地展示您的核心價值觀。

Example: "My greatest accomplishment is helping my younger sister get her scholarship to attend college. Neither of my parents attended college, so as the oldest child I had to figure out college applications on my own. When my sister asked me for help on applications and I was able to provide guidance, I felt very proud of myself and how much I have developed my knowledge and life skills. When I start graduate school, I hope to bring that spirit of cooperation and shared success as I learn from and teach my classmates."

7.您有哪些愛好和興趣?

面試官希望應(yīng)聘者全面發(fā)展，擁有各種興趣愛好，并能在不同的環(huán)境中運用自己的技能。由于研究生院的課程難度很大，因此您也需要有一些興趣愛好來幫助管理壓力。您的愛好和興趣還可以凸顯出學(xué)術(shù)記錄中不明顯的品質(zhì)，如創(chuàng)造力或團隊合作精神。利用這個研究生院面試問題來展示您的個性，并與面試官建立個人聯(lián)系。

Example: "After a long day at work my favorite thing to do is tend to my garden. I find it very relaxing and rewarding while also being intellectually engaging. I love learning the proper balance of nutrients that my plants need to grow. Although gardening is really different from my goal of being a doctor, I enjoy being able to nurture both plants and people."

8.您為什么對我們的課程感興趣?

在申請研究生院時，您應(yīng)該清楚地知道該專業(yè)的獨特之處以及您為什么想在那里學(xué)習(xí)。面試官了解考生通常會申請多所學(xué)校，但表達您對他們特定專業(yè)的興趣會讓您成為更有吸引力的申請人。通過表明你對他們的價值觀或方法充滿熱情，你可能會讓面試官相信你會努力促進他們項目的成功。

Example: "I met the head of your architecture department once at a conference and became so inspired by her unique vision. Ever since that moment, I have been interested in studying at this school and attending her courses. As I researched the program, I became impressed with the variety of classes and your unique internship program. I learn best by doing, and your program offers the most on-the-job training."

9.您讀過哪些書?

這個研究生院面試問題有助于判斷您的智力水平和好奇心。請選擇那些與您的學(xué)術(shù)興趣和目標(biāo)有某種聯(lián)系的文章或書籍。在參加面試之前，先確定幾本有意義的書籍或刊物，以顯示您對所學(xué)專業(yè)的興趣以及您的個人價值觀。

Example: "I'm finishing my honors thesis on early childhood development, so I have mostly been reading the Early Childhood Education Journal and other articles to support my research. However, through my studies on how the brain develops I know how important it is to read for pleasure, so I also read mystery novels when I am on the train to work."

10.你有哪些優(yōu)缺點?

面試官會問研究生院候選人這個問題，以確定您的自我意識和態(tài)度。作為研究生課程的一部分，您將專注于發(fā)展自己的學(xué)術(shù)技能和經(jīng)驗，因此應(yīng)該對自己希望改進的方面有深刻的認(rèn)識。此外，這個問題還可以讓您解釋您可以為他們的項目帶來哪些積極的特質(zhì)。在回答這個問題時，請誠實地解釋您是如何克服缺點和發(fā)揮優(yōu)勢的。

Example: "My greatest strength is my ability to solve problems creatively. When working as a medical scheduler, I encountered several situations where nurses had been over-scheduled. I always found a way to rearrange shifts or delegate responsibilities so that all of our patients would receive excellent care. One of the skills I hope to improve is my ability to lead others. I can be nervous about sharing my ideas but I believe that working with other students in this graduate program will increase my confidence."
