On the evening of December 27, business school hosted a public lecture titled 'Facing the Future: Guidance on Public Examination Interviews.'

        This event featured two distinguished speakers with expertise in public examination interviews: Zhao Huanhuan, a Grade 23 MBA student with extensive training experience, and Liang Hao, an outstanding alumnus from Grade 16 currently working in the Personnel Department of the State Forestry and Grass Administration. The session was attended by Ms. Lu Ying, graduate counselor of Business School; Mr. Qin Bei, another esteemed alumnus; and over 100 graduate students. The lecture was facilitated by Ms. Zhang Zehui from Class 2331.

        Zhao Huanhuan addressed three key topics that are most pertinent to students: 'What is tested in interviews? What constitutes an interview? How can one excel during an interview?' She provided a comprehensive overview of interview structures, national examination scenarios, scoring criteria for interviews, assessment elements analysis, and strategies for achieving high scores—equipping students with insights into how to effectively prepare for their upcoming public examination interviews.

        The mock interview segment simulated a real public exam environment using a structured group format: three candidates drew lots to determine their response order before receiving exam questions and preparing briefly outside the venue for ten minutes prior to answering sequentially. Following this exercise, three evaluators—Qin Bei, Liang Hao, and Zhao Huanhuan—offered detailed feedback on each candidate's performance. The participants included Masters Year 1 through Year 3 students; notably two had previous work experience. The educators emphasized that consistent preparation plays a crucial role in performing well during interviews—the importance of having substantial knowledge at one's disposal cannot be overstated.

        Afterward, Liang Hao shared his insights regarding effective interviewing techniques including preparation strategies, appropriate conduct during interviews, handling unexpected situations as they arise within the process—and responding thoughtfully to interviewer inquiries. His advice encouraged students to maintain composure while addressing questions posed during their interviews; he stressed emotional stability when confronted with challenges alongside clear thinking and focused responses. Students listened intently as he illustrated his points with personal anecdotes.

        This lecture served as an invaluable resource for students seeking preliminary understanding about examinations while offering strategic guidance for those participating in mock interviews ahead of actual assessments. The Student Development Association encourages greater student engagement in such activities along with proactive communication efforts so that all may derive maximum benefit.
