HKUST Mfin Round1 question 整理 [2020.01.14]

[日期:2020-02-14] 来源:ChaseDream论坛 作者:judejoe [字体: ]

LZ最后决定去HKU MFIN, 已经交了留位费。但是UST的MFin也是一个非常好的项目,也就是往年的投资管理~收到了UST Mfin一面和二面,可惜二面因为表现的不太好被wl了哈哈,算是带一点遗憾~

之前整理过了UST MFin的round1 question,并且附上了自己回答的思路。个人自认为整理的比较全吧,后面准备这个项目的同学除了可以参考一下,这个word,也可以针对个人准备一些比较personal的问题。资料来源于CD为了回馈大家,发给大家参考~

=================

Tips:

  1. 对你的CV/PS要非常的熟悉,例如你的internship的主要职责/你在某个项目中的角色担当/遇到的困难和收获等。
  2. 表达时候口语要很流利顺畅,即使内心很紧张也要透露出自己的自信很从容(关键)。
  3. 一面特别nice但是不放飞。
  4. 面试一开始会有一个testing,就另一个账号打电话过来和你说面试的流程什么的,一般会在面试前15分钟到5分钟之间,一下下就test完了,不用担心错过test,因为开始之前会在skype上pm你。面试结果和录取结果一般都在上一个步骤结束后两周内通知。
  5. 所以大家等待的时候一定一定不要关掉 interview room 的网页!
  6. 这个面试的内容不在于你的回答多有新意多棒棒什么的,毕竟这些basic的问题怎么答也就那样了,主要就是看一下你的英文啊表达能力啊怎么样,不用太紧张啦,就像正常聊天那样就好,当然我穿了个白衬衣,但是在交流的过程中可以比较放松一点,不用正襟危坐一板一眼的太僵硬,掌握好度就好。

一、I would introduce myself as a well.

举例子,回答要有逻辑。

Key List:

Introduce yourself(1-2min)

well-rounded, strategic and ambitious student, who always strives to find the best in life. Meanwhile, I am passionate about art and photography, and have been collecting music records for more than 10 years. On the professional side, following my recent graduation, I have been working at xxx, preparing for my CFA and consolidating my quantitative and financial skills. Within the field of business, I particularly enjoy studying finance. This is because it contains so many fascinating variables, and through experiences such as a consulting project I completed at xxx, I got the chance to dig deep into the process of management consulting. Specifically, conducting a market trending analysis of the Asian beer market, I explored market forces and made forecasts for the future, to help a prestigious client with their M&A decisions. Working alongside consultants from McKinsey, as well as various managers and distributors, this was a hugely valuable experience for me.

Lastly, I would also describe myself as a highly international student. Taking a dual bachelor degree program in China and Australia, attending summer camps, traveling and volunteering, have all given me a broad understanding of the world.
