想参考过来人的经验。

英文不是很重要，关键是自信，即使英文很烂，说得时候不慌不忙，别人更加敬佩。
six sigma的超级牛人taguchi的英文绝对比所有所有人都烂，可是不影响他成为泰斗。

我觉得看行业吧，对搞技术的要求低点，要是要求多跟人打交道的工作，咨询，金融什么的语言要求回高的吧

2/3 part, try to understand what the interviewer said. Or try to pretend you understand.
1/3 introduce yourself, it takes 3-4 times practice.

another tip-- try to let others understand you.
Don't speak too fast. Most of us still have accent, for most of Americans, it is the major reason why they cannot understand us well, however, if you slow yourself down a little bit when you are talking, they will understand us better.
Think fast, and response fast. It is very important too. You will make the impression that you are smart and fast thinker by doing it.

regarding the language itself, as long as you can understand the interviewer's question
and let others understand are say, it should be enough. Speaking slowly is a good suggestion.

But most time, what counts in an interview is not the language,
but what you know about the company and the position you apply for and also how you present yourself in the interview.

six sigma 是什么啊？经常听到，什么证书吗？

six sigma是一个管理的概念，从质量管理到产品开发，再发展到现在大部分的管理决策。
其实就是一个支持你做客观的决策的方法。
Taguchi是这方面的超级牛人，曾经在princeton和mit做过，可是他的英文超级超级烂，连美国人都听不懂，没说一个字都要停顿，都要想。可是照样到处做报告，照样红。

做咨询的英文也不用很好，我见过一个咨询公司的partner，台湾人，英文不好，可是很牛，因为聪明，有眼光，别人就是服，他手下几个美国人经理在他面前，屁都不敢放一个，他说什么好，就跟着说什么好。
关键是你的眼神能不能镇住人。

一般般，比我期望的差，作为entry level的analyst，只让你做一些高中生都能做的事情。

Of course, it's terrific if you are able to think fast and respond fast. But most of us tend to get into "brain-dead" situations during an interview, esp. when you are still trying to figure out what the interviewer is really asking for. My experience has been to pause and ponder a little bit after each question, organize the logic of my answer, and start answering when I have a clear mind of what I am gonna say. Unless you've prepared that particular question a thousand times, jumping in immediately would mostly likely lead your answer nowhere. The interviewer will always respect you taking 30 seconds to think

I totally agree on the "don't speak too fast" point.
