How to prepare for the public examination interview?

Jiangsu public examination is about to be interviewed, and many friends came to ask for individual counseling for their children. As usual, they are advised to go to the training class first. It's not that they don't want to help, but that they really can't satisfy their wish of "turning the stone into gold". Everyone knows the "ability" in the interview, but more than ten years of counseling experience in public examinations tells me that from parents to students, from institutions to teachers, too few people really know what "ability" is.

Knowledge is not ability. Interviews measure ability rather than knowledge. Knowledge is verified correct facts and information, while ability is the application of knowledge and the combination of practice and efficiency. Even if a person can recite an encyclopedia, it is only a tool at best. Some parents and teachers regard "good students" as dull-eyed and slow-witted, and it is estimated that they will be rejected by the interview teacher as soon as they enter the interview room. I can't change a child's habit of more than ten years in a few hours, so I can only send him to a training class. At present, most interview training institutions implement the non-refundable mode of admission. Spend some time and cost to compare with others and understand your own ability gap, even if you don't get into the civil service, it will be beneficial to your future life planning.

Ability can't be improved immediately. Knowledge is dead, mainly by memory, and most of it can be obtained at the level of perceptual thinking; Ability is alive, relying on observation, memory, imagination and so on. And more needs to be obtained through abstract thinking in practice. Knowledge can be acquired quickly, but ability cannot be improved immediately. When those parents expect me to "turn the stone into gold", when students are eager for me to provide a "golden key", I am also ashamed of myself: our education is really a failure! So remind candidates: don't believe the big talk of some institutions and experts. If he says he can improve your ability quickly, he is either an amateur or a liar.

Ability improvement depends on practice. Pushing children into training classes is not all about fear of difficulties and lack of responsibility. Although the improvement of ability is time-consuming and laborious, certain actual combat training is really helpful. One is that the training time is longer, and the other is that we can learn from each other. The time for counseling in a single interview is limited, so it is difficult to simulate the real situation, because it can only be reasonable. Therefore, it is suggested that students who want to participate in the interview: relatively speaking, it is better to participate in training courses if conditions permit, which is better than individual guidance from experts and online courses. The choice of training institutions and class types naturally depends on whether enough training opportunities are provided and whether qualified experts can provide accurate comments and guidance for each training.

The performance of ability is multifaceted. This year, the "structured group interview" mode was officially launched from the national examination, and the interview of local civil servants was gradually launched. Its purpose is to avoid the shortcomings of simple expression of students and single observation angle of examiners in simple structured interviews, as well as the complex organizational form of leaderless group discussions and the difficulty in unifying evaluation standards. For the recruitment department, "structured group interview" is more conducive to comprehensively measuring the ability level of candidates. For candidates, it is necessary not only to understand the evaluation elements more accurately when answering questions, but also to comment and respond to the candidates in the same group on the basis of truly understanding the evaluation elements. Therefore, it is suggested that interview candidates should not only "speak" but also know how they "speak" when preparing for the exam. This also means that when choosing a training institution, we should not only look at whether the training link design is reasonable, but also look at whether the class teacher really knows what to do. A good teacher's accurate comments on students during the training process can not only help you improve your answering level, but also "demonstrate" how to comment and respond to others!

In reality, civil servants are a good career choice, but they also have unique requirements. Do you really want to regard civil servants as lifelong career choices, or should you start from preparing for the written test and focus on improving your relevant abilities?
