[求助]请面过chicago的DX指教

有面完chicago但自己是非finance背景的前辈吗?

我是没有一点finance背景,工科出身.但interviewer 将是一个finance强人.担心两个人根本没共同话题.

请有过类似经验的DX指教.谢谢.

thanks mengyu800.

I'm an engineer and I interviewed with a guy who is a company president.  There is virtually no common gound between us but the interview went through all right.  I can't tell whether I gained or lost points there since I was eventually dinged by the school.  However, we never had problem to find topics.  As a matter of fact, you probably won't realize how fast time flies, and the biggest challenge is how to make all your points within the given time frame, which is always too short. The bottomline is, the interviewer is supposed to run the show, so it's not your job to find topics.  Actually, my interviewer showed interests on my graduate school research project, so we talked about that for a few minutes.  

Take it easy.  Be real familiar with every fine detail on your resume because you never know where your interviewer wants to dig deep.  More than likely, you will be so busy addressing your "must make" points and never have a chance to worry about how to keep the conversation flowing.  

thanks and gook luck to your other schools.

我也不是finance的，我觉得common topics会很多——都去过的地方，成长的经历，利用刚刚开始的ice breaker东说说西说说。interview就是来了解who you are的，如果能找到很personal的东西比跟他聊finance好多了吧。
