Challenges
and benefits of interviewing an international student
I
never interview international students and US students before. Therefore, this
experience may very excited and fresh for me. However, during this interview
there are some challenges and benefits of interviewing an international student
or and US student. Meanwhile, I also think of some solutions about the
challenges during the interviewing.
I
conclude six challenges during the interviewing. First, there may some cultural
differences between my interviewees and me. Therefore, we may have different
ways to describe something, which may make me misunderstand their speaking. I
think I have to respect my interviewee firstly and give them enough time to speak
without interrupting. Second, some of international students’ English are not
good enough, so this point may cause me misunderstand my interviewees or my
interviewees may misunderstand my questions. This is a big problem because if
my interviewee misunderstand my questions, the interview may useless. Thus, I
think that I have to explain my mean patiently to my interviewees and just show
my friendly to let my interviewees to be relaxed. Third, few of international
students’ dislike staying with strangers, which may challenge me to find a
perfect interviewer to finish this assignment. I have some international
friends, so this challenge is not a big problem to me. I can ask my
international friends for help. Forth, we have to respect my interviewees’ culture
even though some of their cultures that we really dislike so much. This is a
very important challenge to us because we have different religion properly,
which may cause us have some different opinions about some ideas. However, we
cannot argue with them. We must respect their concepts and opinions and write
on their real ideas on our paper. Fifth, it is not very easy to find
international students. We know SCSU is an American university, so the most
students of this university are American students. However, we can easily to
find international students in Lawrence Hall which is one of dormitories for
international students in college. Sixth, some of international students are
shy and it is a little bit hard to start the conversation. Especially for Asian
students who are easily to be shy during the conversation with strangers. Thus,
at the beginning of the conversation, I will try my best to give them
confidence and let them relaxed. I will introduce myself firstly and talk about
some interesting topics with them for example, which singer is your favorite.
This is probably easy to start a conversation with people.
Meanwhile, I also conclude six
benefits about interviewing an international student or US student. First, I can know so many different
culture information that I may heard before. Second, I can exchange my ideas
with my interviewers and got some fresh ideas that I never heard before. That
is funny and excited. Third, I can learn about the different educational
background from different countries people. Forth, I can make more friends who are
from all around the world. That is incredible. Fifth, I can get better
understand about Americans life style. Sixth, learn how to prepare a
professional interview for international people. That is very helpful for me in
my life career.
In
conclusion, this assignment is very meaningful and will give me a deep
impression in my whole life. I will appreciate this opportunity to learn the
different culture in all around the world.

Challenges and benefits of
interviewing an international student
Interview is a conversation with or questioning of a person, it
is can be a formal discussion. During the interview, people usually conducted
for television, radio, or a newspaper. For interviewing an intentional student,
that mean is talk or compare the differences and similarity things between the
two counties. Of cause, during the interview, we will get some challenges and
benefits.
Let’s
me talk about the benefits about interviewing an international student. All
over the world becoming to be a home, if you like a country, but you little
opportunity to go there, interviewing an international student is a good
chance. During the interviewing, people can learn and know a lot of cultures
about the country; also people can compare the difference and similarity
cultures between their countries. In my experience, I never know that Saudi man
can marry with four women at most. By the other hand, people usually will use
the English for interviewing, so that is helpful to our English skills.
For
my first interview, the language is my biggest problem. If the interviewee
couldn’t understand what is I say, we nothing can do. Good English will improve
the interaction with us; interviewee becomes open while discussing issues with
interviewer. Before the interview, I need to learn and know some culture or
knowledge about their country. In addition, controversial subject is other
challenge; in that case, I will stay calm and politely explain, and keep up our
chatty demeanor and tone to help them relax.

Challenges and benefits of interviewing an international
student
Interviews can be nerve-wracking
for anyone, but as an international student there is the extra challenging and
benefiting. As we know international
student have to face different problems when we are going to interview for different
people. However, student need to
complete what is process of interview and good ways to communicating with
interview. These are just basic element
problems when international student are going to preparing a good interview. Interview is not only challenge for students,
but also they could receive many benefits from interview.
Preparing right questions for
interview is very important before international student are going to
interview. Some good ways are that
student learned from Websites about research information about interview and
choosing right questions for interviewer let interviewee understandable
questions. Furthermore some questions
could not connect personal its very bad behavior for interviewee. Also, some important reports student have to
write from interviewee, it could not be long just a little of information about
one question. Some questions we will not
use on the interview, we could not follow right order when student using the
question list, because we don’t what is right next information about interviewee
are going to say. Sometime we have to
change the questions in order to communicate with interviewee. On the another hand, we have to communicate
with interviewee about the topic, sharing different opinions let interviewee
more focusing interviewing , but we have to follow the interviewee can’t make
strong argument. Most of information is from interviewee we are listener should
which are important for ours.
Another aspect is benefits for
international students who received much knowledge about the different
countries. Student has to use formal
language to communicate with interviewee, it cold improving student’s language
ability and how to organizing a good interview.
Additional, student learns more of information about different cultures,
which could be good experience when student makes new friends. Also, it could
be good ways to close friends are going to take about some article. Some
information we received using on the furfure. Such as people plan to go to
different country they have to compare different country, one of country we had
received a lot of interfering things from interview, it could be first
choosing. Maybe some famous festive people are going to respect and
participating.
Finally,
challenges and benefits of interviewing an international student are good for
student improving ability. Preparing
questions and choosing different questions are very essential for who are going
to interview. Also, students try to make
a good process of interview is necessary.
Don’t make argument with different opinions with interviewee is another
key for interview. Student has an acting ability according to circumstances on
the interviewing.
