访校面试帖士
对于任何年龄段的人来说，面试是很刺激且又很伤脑筋的一件事。该说些什么呢？说多少合适？应该穿什么？以下有几个帖士，无论您访问哪所学校，可能对您在面试过程中会有一定的帮助。
1. 查询有关学校的信息，准备好介绍你选择这个学校的理由。
2. 如果你对某项具体的活动或者学科感兴趣，就提前表明你想与熟悉这方面的信息的人进行深入的了解。
3. 穿着得体。你会去参观学校并随后进行面试。确保你穿的鞋子合适。
4. 尽量能够早几分钟到到达学校，这样的话，你有机会可以放松一下，还可以填写一些需要填的表格。
5. 放松， 自如地表现自己就好。 面试者需要了解一个真实的你。 不要说一些你认为他们喜欢听的内容。他们想了解一个真实的你以及你自己到底爱好什么。
6. 自信一点，当有人（可能是一位招生官，学生，教练，老师）来见你，请站起来，给一个有力的握手，同时还要有眼神接触。
7. 面试是展示你的兴趣和热情的极好机会。虽然有时候谈论一切你做过的非常酷的事情和你的各种擅长会让人觉得不是很合适，但是请相信我们，任何一个面试官都希望听到有关你的热情，才能和追求的东西。
8. 不要坐立不安，不要下意识地摆弄发结或者手表，或做一些与面试无关的事。提前排除干扰，面试期间不要带手机，坐姿挺拔，全身心地投入到与你面试的人的谈话中，使整个面试过程愉快舒适。
9. 提问题！注意了。这不仅仅只是一个让学校了解你的机会，同时也是你了解学校的时候。提前查看学校网站，了解一些基本信息。但是，如果有问题就提出来。招生官没有期望你能够记得所有信息。
10. 准备好说一些你在学校做的事情，包括你看的书籍，目前你正在进展的一些活动，或者你已经完成了的。而且要准备好谈论下你去年所读的书。另外一个非常好的准备面试的方法就是思考一下你将怎样回答以下的问题。这些问题具有代表性，同时也是招生官想要从你身上了解的一些信息。你也可以在网上找到一些面试中常常问到的问题：
● 最令你自豪的是什么？
● 你想尝试什么样的活动或者上什么课？
● 你最喜欢的的课程是什么?
● 你为什么认为密尔顿很适合你？
● 你最大的优势是什么？
Interview Tips for Your School Visit
Interviewing at any age can be exciting, and also nerve-wracking. What will you talk about? How long should your answers be? What should you wear? Here are some tips that might help you through the interview process, no matter which school you're visiting.
1. Do some research about the school, and be ready to talk about why you've chosen to visit.
2. If you're interested in a particular activity or subject, express interest ahead of time that you want to meet or talk with someone at the school who can tell you more about that topic.
3. Dress appropriately. You will be taking a tour and sitting down for an interview. Make sure you have on comfortable shoes.
4. Try to arrive a few minutes early so you have a chance to relax and fill out any necessary paperwork.
5. Relax, and be yourself! Interviewers want to get to know the real you. Don't tell them what you think they want to hear. They want to know who you really are and what you actually like.
6. Be confident. When someone (an admission officer, a student, a coach, a teacher) comes to meet you, stand up to meet him or her and offer a firm handshake. Don't forget to make eye contact, too.
7. Use the interview to show your interests and demonstrate your passions. It can sometimes feel uncomfortable to talk about all the cool things you do or what you're good at, but trust us, every interviewer wants to hear about your passions, talents and pursuits.
8. Try not to fidget. It is tempting to play with a hair tie or a watch, or to do something other than focus on the interview. Try removing all distractions ahead of time. Don't bring your phone into the interview with you. Sit up straight and engage with the person interviewing you. The goal is to have a good conversation.
9. Ask questions! Remember, not only is the interview an opportunity for the school to get to know you, it is also a time for you to get to know the school. Look over the school's website ahead of time and know some basic information, but ask any questions you have. Your interviewer does not expect you to memorize everything.
10. Be prepared to talk about what you're doing in school, including books you're reading, projects you're working on or have completed. Also, be prepared to discuss a book you read in the last year. Another great way to prepare for your interview is to think about how you would answer some of the following questions. These are typical things that your interviewer will want to know about you. You can also search online to find more information on common interview questions.
● What are you most proud of?
● What activity or class would you like to try?
● What is your favorite class?
● Why do you think that Milton could be a good fit for you?
● What is your greatest strength?
