SAI 面经 里昂商学院 20%小奖

学习使我快乐

SAI ，1份申请费5个学校，挺值。

因为每年申请时间不一样，我就用时间间隔代替，这样更有参考性。

不要推荐信，不要personal statement，要三维（绩点+雅思+gmat）,要cv，要回答四个问题

1. Which personal achievements are you most proud of?

2. Describe a situation where you failed. What lessons did you learn from it?

3. Why is your application an added-value for the SAI international selection process
member schools?

4. Describe your extra-curricular activities over the last few years (leisure time, social
life, clubs, volunteer work, etc.)?

申请以后就等， ddl 2周以后收面试通知，会收到邮件。

邮件面试通知以后的一周，周六日进行面试，所以平时工作实习不用请假。、

双非一本外语类 IELTS:7.5, GMAT:680 海外志愿+海外职业培训+投资实习

HEC ESCP 拒

HEC 我懂，我不是清北复交人

ESCP你怎么就嫌弃我了呢，有比我三维低的拿offer啊，看来我不够因特斯汀，叹气

我是周六下午面，就在沙发上坐着，等人家老师叫你名字。

被一个法国帅哥叫了名字，握了个手，就进去了。进去俩人都不自我介绍，直接上问题

男：tell me something about yourself

我：学校专业+acca过了+海外志愿+海外acca交流+投资实习了半年

女：your self intro is very efficient and on point

我：thanks

女：Why France

我：acca是基于IFRS principle base, EU也是这个base，其次，GE是双学位，我本科也是双学位，我觉得这样学的东西多，也可以自选gap去工作，非常理想

女：very rational, so which school do you wanna go

我：我喜欢escp, but the school rejected me, (他俩开心的笑了)，so now em lyon is the one I wanna get into

女：我是escp的

我摆出羡慕脸，加上一声 aww，扭向男，等他说自己是哪儿的

男：我不是高商的，是xxx学校的(一堆法语听不懂)，不是management专业，是做finance xxx的

我：oh cool，I wish to pursue my career in finance（我给自己挖坑了，引起了这位finance大佬的注意

男：what’s president scholarship ？

我：being in the top 1%

男：aha，no wonder I don’t know

大家哈哈笑

男：what‘s AIESEC? What did you do in Hungary?

我：你竟然不知道AIESEC?

女：I know it

我：对吧，你看看，aiesec很有名的，简单说了下aiesec，说了我去志愿当英语老师了

男：do you like it

我：ofc，ppl are nice, get to know new culture, also understand why there are so many male models are from Hungary. How language is important, but at the same time, body language works as well.

大家哈哈笑

男：tell me something about your internship

我：投资集团挺大，前两天刚和阿里买了万达影业的5%，投资活动挺多。

为了迎接2022年冬奥会，做房地产投资，做ppp冰雪小镇。前期做项目，天天meeting，做framework，画ppt。后期轮岗到了research analysis, 闷头写报告。

男：（皱眉）Be specific pls

我：ok, for example, we are going to invest in a indoor skating arena, we need to find a benchmark. So it’s my job to find out, （用中文打字了哈）目前有哪些室内滑雪场，地点，运营团队，成本，器械，亮点，周边，收费套餐，国内外发展情况，国内外政策支持，写这种报告，写成了发表还可以卖钱，心里美滋滋（satisfaction）。

做项目：for example, 帮冰球培训机构做framework 的时候，我们看canada，人家有CHL，CHL下面有QHL/WHL等，WHL下是joniorABCD，6岁就有path可以follow，中国目前没有，那为他们做framework就有个头绪，然后team brain storming 比较重要了。

（男一直点头，应该是满意了，看来他喜欢举例子）

男：so what did you learn

我：除了行业知识，更多的是habit, 比如如何有效 rename a profile，以前我总是找不到文件，现在有了这个habit就条理了。还有就是在ddl步步逼近，要高强度，生活怎么balance。

男：很tough的生活，那还要做finance吗

我：要，因为接触不同行业，learn new stuff everyday, 你拿的笔，后面就有一个industry line， don’t you find it so fascinating?（女猛点头） 有可能将来会固定一个行业吧，目前不知道自己喜欢哪个行业，don’t see myself in a particular industry so far.

男： true true, I guess it’s the struggle of all ppl in financial services.

我：你也struggle吗？

男：oh sure but now I’m in civil services, you’ll figure yourself out eventually.

男：所以在投行前台和后台，你将来会做什么？

我：希望更upstream

男：B2C吗

我：对对对

男：那你electives选什么

我：finance

男：finance喜欢什么课

我： quantitative and analytical 的课程

男：你想B2C，还要analytical，你不consistent，请解释

我： B2C更horizontal growth, finance 算vertical growth, 我可以30岁再B2C, 目前I need the time to sit in the library and learn that models and tools. strengthen my base. 就像投行research analysis 2-3年才会变associate，我before apply也想accumulate more knowledge

双方无回应

男: I see that you have both interned in a WOFE and a state-owned investment company, how do you perceive your experiences.

好像是这样问的，因为我没听懂他要问啥，好像不是问区别或者学到什么，问我感受？？

我：I cherish my experiences and ofc I’m very lucky to have these experiences. Something I learned is how important are government policies. i am not someone who loves politic and used to be lacking commonsense in national policies, but with my work experience, I learned how a government tone can effect our lives. + 认识自我，重申不知道想做甲方还是乙方

男：good good

（活过来了）

男：what do you mean by blog writing, I thought blog is not popular these days

我：Technically not a blog, but a wechat public account. I didn’t bring my phone rn, otherwise I can show you.

女： what’s it about？

我：（姐姐你不说话我都要忘记你的存在了）

   To Share my experience in ACCA, Singapore Future Leader Aspiration Programme, ielts，work and other stuff, also invite others to share, so it’s not just me

插播广告，公众号：KatherineMo(ID：KatherineMoishere)

男：so you don’t run the platform by yourself

我：I run it by myself. but I don’t want it to be a platform about my personal life, also I don’t have THAT much to share. I hope it can be a platform where students below me can get meaningful tips, so I invite other friends, to show more students they can study in china, or abroad, work in different industries and just show them they have many many options than what their parents or peers want them to choose.

女：so will you write about this interview

我：sure, I’ll write the interviewers are cute, are nice.

大家哈哈哈

男：so in your interest you write that you like rap music, who is your favorite

我：我喜欢Wiz Khalifa, 但是gangster 文化比较浓重，现在喜欢jony j, 是我们本土歌手，positive vibe, no words like weed, boody like Cadillac, 反而是everyone is in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars kind of vibe

男：sadly I don’t speak chinese

女：music has no borders

我：agreed, i also love the German rapper CRO, I just read the translated version of his lyrics.

男：这样也行（didn’t know it’s an option）

女：you also wrote about traveling, where have you been?

我：Hungary Italy Czech Singapore

男：are you sure you never lived in America? You English is great

我：没有，嘿嘿嘿谢谢啊

男：而且Sinapore不算abroad, I’ve lived there for some time, and it’s basically conquered by Chinese

我：someday we’ll conquer wall street as well, get use to it

大家哈哈哈

女：any questions？

我：如果参加某企业的chair，求职时候会不会更容易

男：会，主要是在networking方面会非常有帮助。

你会说法语吗？

我：en effet, j’ai appris un peu de fracais, mais I don’t have time to learn it well, but I will learn it in the future. （说了两句法语也没有继续要求我用法语了，但是我说en effet的时候明显看到了两位的挑眉）

完全没有问时事，亏我看了一个月的BBC news

完全没有问我简历上的两个科研立项，谢谢谢谢，毕竟没有好好写全靠好队友

面试之前就在思考去读GE和工作两年哪个成长更多，所以整体很轻松，即使被challenge了，心态也很随意。如果目标性很强，可能就不敢开玩笑了。

希望大家好好准备，到时候别紧张，也得看缘分。

面试后的第23天收到offer。

祝大家都拿到理想的offer！
