如何准备Kira面试？

Kira是谁？

Kira是一个叫Kira Talent的公司的产品。

官方的介绍是这样的，「Kira Talent is a Web-base, best-of-bree vieo interviewing platform that allows you to streamline your company's hiring efforts. 」

也就是说，这是一个最初为了简化公司招聘而生的vieo interview平台。卖点是自定义和快速的review功能。公司可以设置面试问题以及回答时间，便捷的review功能又可以迅速将caniates的面试vieo分类成yes, maybe, no。

被学校用来做amission interview的就是这样一个软件。

学校想考察什么能力？

那么，学校用Kira interview的这种方式，到底是想考察申请人的一些能力呢？

这个interview的时间很短，一般就几个问题。除去准备、testing时间，正式回答几乎10分钟就可以完成。

而且，有心人一定会发现，这个interview并不是所有申请人都一定需要的。绝大多数学校是only for international stuents的。

可想而知，这不就是在测试英语沟通能力和口语表达能力吗？而且由于时间限制，一般一道题是45-60秒之内的回答时间，根据每个学校自己的设定不同，在有一定的英语口语表达能力的基础上，简洁、逻辑性、清晰，也是考察的重点。

英语沟通能力中，口语是一方面，还有一个是写作。所以，也有部分学校，会在Kira interview的题目中加入1个写作题，可能也只有5分钟答题时间。
