美国高中申请还要进行面试,面试中需要注意的几个问题:
面试前的准备
01面试衣着:原则上来说,整洁大方就好,要让自己穿着舒服,也要让面试官看着舒服;最好的状态是,这身衣服能让你更有自信,至少不会增加你的紧张情绪。
02面试心理:知己知彼会让自己更好发挥,所以提前熟悉该校的详细介绍,尤其是课程和运动活动方面是否有自己很契合的点;查官网上该面试官的资料尤其照片,有个初步印象;最后就是告诉自己,面试官也是普通的陌生人,能在面试过程中聊出开心的感觉,就成功了大半。
03面试环境:美高面试多采用视频面试的方式,建议选择安静的房间,整洁干净的视频背景,面部光线均匀的位置,以及半身出镜,避免面部光线昏暗或大头照的不良视觉效果,提前半个小时测试好设备。
