During the graduate school interview, the following effective communication skills can significantly improve the interview results:
1.*Clearly expressed**:
Start by making sure the language is clear and fluent and avoid slurring or stuttering. Practise self-introduction and possible answer points in advance to be more precise and confident.
Use concise and clear language, avoid complicated jargon and unnecessary redundancy, and ensure that the interviewer understands your point of view and experience quickly.
2.*Logical Structure**:
When answering the questions, follow the structure of "total-score-total", first summarize the topic, then expand on the specific content, and finally summarize and emphasize. Such a logical structure can help the interviewer follow your train of thought better.
3.*Active Listening**:
Interviews are not just about expression, it's about listening and understanding. When the interviewer asks questions, show attentive listening, taking notes or repeating the questions if necessary to confirm that you understand correctly.
4.*Positive Interaction**:
The interview is a two-way communication process, making eye contact with the interviewer at the right time, giving feedback by smiling, nodding, etc., to increase the interactivity of the conversation.
5.*Example Argument**:
When talking about your own abilities and experiences, provide specific examples to support your opinion. This makes abstract descriptions of capabilities more concrete and credible.
6.*Control the tempo**:
Control the pace of speech, neither too fast for people to keep up, but also too slow to appear hesitant. Appropriate pauses can emphasize the main points while also giving yourself time to think.
7.*Show Passion**:
Demonstrate a strong interest in the subject you are applying for and a passion for academic research to make the interviewer recognize that you are a motivated and potential student.
8.*Honest and humble**:
Answer questions truthfully, admit questions you don't understand, and express your willingness to learn further. Excessive exaggeration or lying can easily lead to a crisis of trust.
9.*Responding to a follow-up question**:
For the interviewer's follow-up questions, keep calm, think deeply before answering, don't rush, and show good adaptability and the ability to think deeply.
10.*Courtesy end**:
After the interview, thank the interviewer for their time and questions, and re-emphasize your strengths and commitment to graduate studies if you have the right opportunity.
Through the above communication skills, candidates can not only communicate personal information and academic ideas more efficiently, but also create a positive, professional image with good interpersonal skills, thereby improving the success rate of postgraduate interviews.
