Case
studies from Mock Interview Workshops
Executive
director of principal investment with
a leading investment bank
This
student was applying for an internal
transfer and was scheduled for an
interview with the department head
in two days. He had studied Chinese
with Business Mandarin for 30 hours,
and his objective was to tell the
interviewer his reasons for wanting
the transfer. He was trained to explain
in Chinese the IPO steps and his history
of successful transactions. He got
the position and re-enrolled in Business
Mandarin's total-immersion course
in Beijing before he assumed the post.
Partner
in a big-four accounting firm
Scheduled to interview a team of short-listed
new graduates from Shanghai, this
student, born in Hong Kong, had studied
in England since age 12 and spoke
the Cantonese dialect, but not Mandarin.
After studying with Business Mandarin
for 30 hours, he was interviewed by
Business Mandarin trainers in a mock
interview. When the time came for
the real interview, he asked the prepared
questions naturally and could understand
the applicants' responses.
Financial
analyst from an investment bank
An overseas Chinese from New York
whose parents were from Taiwan, this
student prepared for a job interview
with another finance firm selling
securities after her company underwent
restructuring. After an intensive
90 -hours of Business Mandarin study,
she was well prepared in Mandarin
and today holds a similar job, with
responsibility for Taiwan, Singapore,
and Hong Kong. She wrote a card of
thanks to her teacher for her customized
course and many hours' worth of help.
