Chapter 292: Interview

The interview plays a pivotal role in the whole examination, and whether the dress is appropriate, whether the temperament is elegant, whether the oral expression is fluent, and whether there is the potential to become an excellent diplomat, are all examined in this key link.

It can be said that this is the most critical moment, even if your previous results are not too good, if you do well in the interview, it can turn things around.

Xu Youshan is wearing a long-sleeved flower-collared shirt today, a suit and trousers, light makeup on her face, and a pair of high heels on her feet, looking stable and generous but pretty.

"Well, do you think I'm okay?" This is the third time Xu Youshan has asked, and Mu Yang can see that Xu Youshan is very nervous.

It is not good to participate in the interview in this state, it is easy to play abnormally, Mu Yang touched Xu Youshan's shoulder with one hand, looked into her eyes and said: "Youshan, you have to believe in your ability, as long as you show your generosity, confidence and knowledge during the interview, you will definitely be able to pass smoothly." ”

"But I'm still very nervous, my heart is pounding, and I can't stop." Xu Youshan had a nervous look on her face.

This will not work, we have to find a way.

"I'll teach you a way, you look into my eyes and say with me, I, Xu Youshan, am the best, I will never be cowardly, the interview is just the starting point on the road of life, the ladder of my life, and it is by no means my burden." Mu Yang said slowly.

At the same time, Mu Yang also launched the hypnotic technique, he did not want to fully invade Xu Youshan's brain, but just used language and skills to give Xu Youshan a superficial hint to make her confident.

"I'm the best, I'm not cowardly, that's just the beginning of my life." Xu Youshan followed Muyang and said, slowly. Xu Youshan's heart settled down, no longer like just now, panicked and restless, and a confident look appeared on her face.

This is the confident student Xu Youshan, Mu Yang nodded with satisfaction.

The interview began, and Muyang sorted out his suit and tie again. Striding into the room, there was a long table on the side against the wall, and there were 7 examiners sitting behind it, Mu Yang bowed slightly and said: "Hello teachers, my name is Mu Yang, and I am the No. 82 interview candidate." ”

A middle-aged man in the middle said, "There's a topic here, a three-minute speech, and you have ten minutes to prepare." ”

Muyang walked over and took the note handed over by the examiner, and saw a sentence on it. "Credit is hard to lose, and it often takes ten years to build credit, but a momentary word or deed may make us lose him forever."

There is only 10 minutes of preparation time, and the on-site organization language for speech is not only to test your on-site language organization ability, but also to see your thinking ability, language expression ability and other aspects.

The speed of speech is generally slower than normal speech, and the speed of speech of ordinary people is about 160 words per minute. And the presentation should be controlled to about 120 to 140, not too slow. If it's too slow, it sounds very awkward, and it can't be too fast, because it's going to give people a sense of stage fright.

Mu Yang organized his words, raised his head, his face had become extremely confident, and said, "Teacher." I'm ready. ”

"Then start your speech." The examiner said.

"Credit is hard to lose and easy to lose, and the credit that has been accumulated over the past ten years is often lost due to words and deeds, this is a quote from the famous Japanese writer Daisaku Ikeda. There is a British proverb that says, "Credit is the greatest capital." ”

Credit is both an invisible force and an intangible property......"

Muyang stood in the middle of the examination room. He started his speech in front of several examiners, as for whether Mu Yang would be nervous, just kidding, he once gave a speech on medical virology in front of the entire British Royal Academy of Sciences. At the Nobel Prize Ceremony, he gave a speech in front of experts and scholars from more than 30 countries around the world. At the Paris Peace Conference, in the face of speeches by the presidents and political dignitaries of Britain, France, Italy, Japan and other countries, now it is just an interview and a small scene, how can he be nervous.

In a three-minute speech, Muyang controlled the entire manuscript at 400 words, and the speed of speech and time corresponded just right.

At the end of Muyang's speech, several examiners filled in their scores and opinions on their assessment cards. An examiner wrote: "Strong organizational language skills, fast response speed, can be cultivated as a spokesperson." ”

The speech was very successful, at least Muyang himself thought it was good. The next part of the question session was the question-and-answer session, in which the examiner in the middle said, "Why do you want to be a diplomat?" ”

"If it was my wish since I was a child, you teachers might think that I was singing high-pitched, but being a diplomat is indeed my wish since I was a child. My mother, who turned out to be a diplomat, had a very profound impact on me, and I have made this wish since I was 10 years old, and I have been working hard for it until I stand here in front of the examiners today. Muyang said.

In front of several examiners were Muyang's assessment resumes, and naturally some people saw that the column of their mother read, "Song Xuxiu, deceased, former staff member of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." ”

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs may seem like a beautiful place to outsiders, but diplomats face danger all the time abroad, and more importantly, they face a difficult working environment, so what do you think if you are sent abroad in a difficult part of Africa?" The examiner asked.

"I have this mental preparation, I have a fairly good understanding of some things in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I know the hardships and dangers of expatriation, and I have made a lot of preparations for this before this, such as exercising my body better, mastering multiple languages, understanding the customs and customs of various countries in the world, and so on."

"You fill in your information, you master 7 foreign languages, intern in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and complete a mission to visit the Maldives, and were evaluated as an excellent intern by the ministry, and now there is a newspaper here, you can choose a paragraph at will and translate it in the 7 Chinese languages you master." The examiner said, handing the newspaper in his hand to Muyang.

Muyang took a look at it, found that it was a reference message, randomly selected a paragraph in it, and then began to read it in French, after reading about a dozen sentences, he changed it to German, read more than a dozen sentences, changed it to Japanese, and then changed it to Hindi and Malay...... Muyang read out the languages he knew one by one.

At the beginning, the examiner was ready to let Mu Yang use a paragraph of content to translate into 7 Chinese, after all, when translating, it is not possible to translate it by picking it up, you need to read through and understand the meaning of the whole paragraph before it can be translated.

But Mu Yang directly used a whole article and read it out in different languages, the difficulty can be imagined, if it is not to master the language to the point of doing whatever he wants, no one dares to do this.

The examiners also filled in a sentence on the assessment sheet: "The foreign language ability is outstanding, and it is recommended that it can be trained as a professional foreign affairs translator." ”

Then he asked Muyang about his self-evaluation, learning at school, interpersonal relationships, how to deal with emergencies, how to organize large-scale activities, etc.

"Last question, I just asked you a few questions." The examiner looked at Muyang and said.

Mu Yang was stunned for a moment, and then answered confidently, "A total of 9 questions." ”

The examiner nodded, Mu Yang's interview ended here, and Mu Yang bowed and left. (To be continued.) )
