2 Submissions
In addition to some types of personal information documents that are regularly submitted, it is necessary to submit a career planning survey form with the paper designated by the school when making a wish. For students without work experience, career planning is already relatively abstract, and it is not easy to write a good career planning survey book. Therefore, students can make more use of the resources of the school, refer to the examination experience of qualified seniors, spend more time, carefully polish, and can also communicate with the friends around them and the teachers in the school to listen to different opinions to improve.

When preparing for the exam, you should pay more attention to current affairs news, pay more attention to the actions of large-scale enterprises and changes in social and economic policies, and not only mention the basic theoretical knowledge when answering the questions, but also link with realistic analysis and integrate. You can refer to the past questions of the graduate school, practice timing, and write the answers to share with the friends who work together to listen to other people's ideas, or you can give corrections to the teachers of the school to absorb more different opinions and ideas.
4 interviews
There are many exam methods to prepare for the interview, and the interview is recommended to prepare at least 1 month in advance.
