今天小编就为大家解读一下，同是面试考核的一环的pre-interview event如何破以及和美国面试官侃大山话题大全！

Pre-interview Event的基本信息

出席人士：HR, Partners, Middle management, Associates/Analysts

地点：如果公司范围内，可能在公司的会议室或是自身的参观；如果在公司外，大多在商业区的高档餐馆；例如steakhouse时间：大多在晚上晚饭时间，也有些是以breakfast，lunch形式进行的时长：2-3小时形式：吃饭+自由交谈着装：Business casual/professional都可

为什么要举办pre-interview event?

离开严肃的办公室，面试官这次要考核：

• 我是否放心让TA跟客户见面开会、做presentation？
  
• TA的姿态、说话方式和着装专业得体么？
  
• 我跟TA一起加班的时候会否有话题聊，会否感到comfortable？

总括而言，”pre-interview dinner” 其实是interview为主，dinner为次。其实关于这种交际形式的面试环节，“面试官”主要还是靠感觉来判断，所以你只要在他们面前表现professional，让他们觉得跟你沟通很舒服，别显得太过拘谨，你的offer 就很容易拿到了。

除了工作，你也可以聊聊其他

Do:

Don't:

• 进行时候注意餐桌礼仪，包括对侍应说的”please” 和”thank you”也不容忽视
• 活动后发送thank you email／follow up email给每位接触过的人，内容上提及一些让对方能想起在活动上跟你进行过的对话，并且加插你的一些个人亮点，深化他对你的印象；如果晚餐活动在面试前一个晚上，可以等到面试过后再发。
• 四大尤其是audit，很注重teamwork，所以不要太过进取或故意炫耀自己有多厉害，尽量展示你乐意跟其他人交流、合作、互相帮忙的一面
• 避免挑选进食比较麻烦、容易失仪态的食物，例如番茄汁意面，炸脆食物等
  
• 避免在饭局上喝酒，可以选择果汁或是一些较为健康的饮料
• 不要开过分名贵的车到场或带昂贵的包，让partner发现他的车或是包比你的“低级”会造成尴尬的场面
