甄選第二關 考前多練習、面試放輕鬆

【聯合報╱記者王維玲、薛荷玉／專題報導】 2011/04/05

各大學將在本月陸續展開甄選面試，因今年許多科系的第一階段篩選倍率提高，進入第二階段面試的考生增多，部分科系甚至出現15搶1的激烈競爭，面試較往年更重要。

科系面試主考官們多建議，考生一定要掌握「考前多練習，面試放輕鬆」原則。考前應上網到目標科系的課程地圖，對專業充分了解、形成見解，並多找同學、老師模擬練習。面試當天則要以平常心看待，只要誠實誠懇，清楚表達自己想法，臉上保持微笑，並注意禮貌，就不難在考官心中留下好印象。

My comments: Having some idea about the courses offered by the target department is a must; otherwise, it would be hard for you to convince the professors or even yourself why you want to get into that department.

Honesty is the best policy.
