Hi,
Sozy bây giờ mới trả lời em dc. Câu 1 và 2 thi cricket trả lời rồi, chị muốn add thêm thông tin chút thôi, đó là không nhất thiết phải có ngay uncon***ional/con***ional offer đính kèm hồ sơ (cái này em apply sau khi có tin đỗ học bổng cũng được, nhưng apply càng sớm càng tốt). Câu 3 thì em nên xem yêu cầu của trường và danh sách các ngành học được học bổng tài trợ. Em có thể vào link này để tham khảo yêu cầu của học bổng năm 2006: http://www.bcvietnam.org/eduknews/index.php?news_id=60, nói chung yêu cầu sẽ không có thay đổi mấy. Kinh nghiệm rất quan trọng nên tốt nhất là đi làm khoảng 3 năm thì hãy apply (rút kinh nghiệm từ bản thân mà ra)
Chị cũng thi Toefl nên không rành về chỗ học IELT lắm. Hì, học toefl thì học thầy Mạnh ý, điểm cao lắm

Bạn Mít ơi kinh nghiệm hết run khi phỏng vấn của bạn là thế nào đấy? Hix tớ bị trượt vòng phỏng vấn cuối cùng 1 lần rồi (ko phải Chevening), cũng vì hơi run đấy . Tớ đang chuẩn bị thi IELTS nhưng phần Interview vẫn hơi lo nhất là đã 1 lần trượt phỏng vấn kia rồi nên bị ám ảnh quá
Mong sự chia sẻ kinh nghiệm của bạn!
Thanks much!!!

Tớ thật vô cùng sozi vì đã hỏi 1 câu hỏi k đúng chủ đề lắm, nhưng vì tớ cũng đang cbị hồ sơ, topic toàn các bạn có kinh nghiệm xin học bổng nên tớ mạn phép.. hỏi vậy. Mong mọi người giải đáp. Tớ băn khoăn k bít cái LOR mọi người xin thế nào ạ? Mình tự viết 1 cái và đưa cho cô giáo mình xem, sửa và ký, or mình chỉ đề nghị, rồi họ thích viết thế nào cũng được? Tớ định xin 1 cái của sếp và 1 của cô GS, hic, run.
Thanks nhìu.

Tớ chưa apply thành công học bổng nào, nhưng đã từng vào tới vòng phỏng vấn cuối cùng của 1 học bổng và bị out, nhưng vì các cao thủ dường như đang bận rộn học hành nên ko vào đây trả lời bạn được, tớ mạn phép trả lời thế này: bạn phải tự chuẩn bị LOR thôi, các thầy cô giáo hay các sếp hầu như ko có thời gian để soạn LOR cho bạn đâu, thậm chí họ còn không đọc qua mà vẫn ký ý chứ, bản thân bạn phải chịu trách nhiệm về hồ sơ của bạn mà, thế nên tốt nhất là hãy soạn LOR thật ngon, rồi xin chữ ký của thầy/cô
Good luck!
À bạn nào có kinh nghiệm phỏng vấn bớt run thì chia sẻ cho tớ với nhé, cảm ơn mọi người nhiều!

Thanks Gray nhé. Vụ interview ý mà, hồi trước còn nhớ đi xin việc run như cầy sấy. Nhưng tớ thấy sau khoảng chục lần interview xin việc, cộng với 2 năm đi làm giờ tớ chả sợ interview tẹo nào cả. Hay là ấy tập tành trước ở nhà đi vậy, hihi.

Ai co the goi y may cau tra loi tren dum minh duoc ko? Co nhieu cau minh ko biet phai tra loi the nao ca.
Plz giup minh voi!
Thanks

Anh chị cho em hỏi anh chị đều đi làm rồi mới xin học bổng này phải ko ạ? Em đang là sinh viên năm cuối thì ko biết có cơ hội ko? Cám ơn anh chị nhều

"Tài liệu luyện thi" Chevening và BP/Leeds/Chevening
"Tài liệu luyện thi" này đc viết từ đầu năm 2004, do người Việt viêt, cho những người vào vòng phỏng vấn của BP/Leeds/Chev. Nhưng cách phỏng vấn của Chevening cũng giống như vậy và ko thay đổi cho đến nay. Năm nay có như thế ko thì cũng khó nói...
You are shortlisted, what to expect about the interview?
1. Overview:
The interview is the very final and decisive part of your bid for your scholarship and you must be well prepared for it. By no means should you be overworried or panic ?" always remember that your winning chance is high, so be self confident and wise.
Until this stage, you must have surpassed hundreds. There are about 12 candidates or shortlisters summoned for the interview out of which four will be selected. This is fair enough.
During an interview, a panel will judge you based on the various factors of impression and understanding that you may bring to them: appearance, answers and presentation skills. I will try to list out the things you should remember when dealing with this kind of interview.
3. The panel:
The panel usually consists of four members: The director of the British Council ?" David Cordingly (or the Director of the Cultural Section, in case the BC boss is absent); the cultural attache of the British Embassy in Hanoi and two representatives of BP (one will ask you questions and the other just take notes of what?Ts going on). Normally each member of the panel will take charge of certain topics according to their interests and responsibilities.
For example, the British Council will normally ask you questions about your thinking about education in the UK, how you will deal with new people and a new culture there, how you will deal with specific situations that migh arise in your college life, how you will explain to friends from around the world about Vietnam.
The Embassy will be likely to be more concerned about your political thinking: how do you think Vietnam has been moving forward (or backward) as a country, what do you think about democracy, freedom of speech or religion problems. They want to diagnose whether you agree with the Government lines or not, your solutions and expectations.
The BP company will ask you further on your career plans, why you want the scholarship so badly. Remember that your answerss should be in line with your statement of purpose you lodged to BP and British Council back in January. These are quite easy questions, usualy asked in the latter part of the interview and you you know some background about BP, what?Ts it doin in VN, and the BP scholars and even something about Leeds University.
4. Presentation, answering questions:
Throughout the interview you must show confidence, wisdom and persuasiveness. Because this is a mutual personal interaction between you and the panel, you must make sure that you can present your ideas well and convince them in the best way you can deliver.
When answering a question, listen carfefully to the question posed and think carefully about it. If possible, jot down the questions you hear on a blank note (you are allowed to bring a pencil/pen and a note). You do not need to quick answers to every question posed. Some reasoning, ?oa good pause? and eye contacts may be a good warm-up. Even if you can give a quick answer, pls slowdown and begin to answer the question in a solid, articulate way. It makes sense to the panel, who may think that you are thoughtful enough and have a better critical mind.
Pls sit comfortably (cross-legged where possible) and you can lean backward a little to show them that you are quite confident, laxed and self-collective.
Gestures and eye contacts are normally appreciated by the panel. Be a good presenter both verbally and physically! When you answer a question, make sure your eyes also meet not only the one who asks the question, but also the ones on the sides. Only by ensuring good eye contacts with all of them can you likely get approval from across the panel. Of course you should look at the main questioner most often, just look straight into his or her yes.
Of course your answers should match what you had written in your statement of purpose. But sometimes pls expect things beyond your essay ?" which means you will have to deliver brand-new answers ?" it requires your creativity, imagination and knowledge. In any case, keep them in a logical order, and try to epxress them convincingly. It will have lots to do with current affairs, your knowledge about social, political and economic matters ?" but don?Tt worry, be a positive thinker?.
After you answer all of their questions, you will be asked to ask the panel one question, so pls have a question in mind, whatever you can thin of. Normally people ask questions concerning the scholarship itself. You can also ask about what do they expect from BP chevening scholars when coming back to VN after the course?It?Ts all up to you what to ask.
Last but not least, when you are ready to finish your interview (which lasts for half an hour) don?Tt forget to thank the panel and smile. You are expected to say something like: ?oThanks for your questions and consideration?.? or just ?oThank you for your exciting questions.?
I list here some questions normally asked by the panel:
- Why do you want to study in the UK?
- What are the challenges for you personally studying in the UK?
- If you have a chance to study in a UK university, surrounded by other international students, what will tell them about your country?
- How will you deal with possible culture gap when studying in the UK?
- What do you hope to achieve through this course?
- What changes do you think you can make in your organisation after your study?
- How will the younger generation succeed the last generation of employees in your organisation?
- How do you define leadership? How can you exercise leadership in your organisation?
- Do you have a plan for your career in the future? Where will you be in 5 years? 10 years? Or 20 years?
- What do you think about the future of Vietnam? Do you think Vietnam should allow a multi-party system? What do you think about the current state of democracy? What will be the criteria for human rights and democracy in a transitory economy like Vietnam?
- Vietnam is bidding for a WTO membership and it has joined major groupings like ASEAN and APEC. How do you interpret the implications of Vietnam?Ts integration into the world?
- As you stated in your statement ASEAN is one of your main interests. Can you elaborate why you have chosen to focus on this topic?
There can be more questions they can ask. You can prepare beforehand, but remember, don?Tt be too wordy ?" sometimes words will kill you. So just answer every question in a briefway ?" you will see they switch fromn one question to another very quickly. Pls try to keep track of the questions asked and answer them one by one. You are not supposed to stop unless they move to another question.
Political questions can be a bit tricky. Be frank but also wise and flexible. All of the more successful candidates told me they showed an ambiguous attitude when touched on politics. That?Ts wise: if you answer the questions like a communist ?" it doesn?Tt make sense (know what I mean?) but don?Tt talk like a blind liberalist ?" they will really think you will not fit into any regime in Vietnam. The only think you can show off is your sympathy for UK-Vietnam relationship. Pls read somehting about this exciting r?Tship for example in the areas of cultural, academic exchange and business.
4. Attires:
Dress yourself up the best you can. Be smart! I would suggest business suits for women and shirts-tied for men. You should present yourself as a very smart business person. Unfortunately Brits do care much about your look and their judgements sometimes base entirely on what they see and feel.
