Challenges and benefits of interviewing an international student

   Interviewing an international student it will make me challenges and benefits.  We know there are a lot of differences between countries no matter culture or history. We through the interview others get other countries more information that can bring us many challenges and benefits.

If you interviewing an international student first challenge is have different language because we came from different country. Some interviewees are first time be interviewed make him to relaxed is also a big challenge. Found a right one person is very important because sometimes interviewee maybe doesn’t have time.  We need Clear use common language for interview that for your spoken English is a great challenge.  1) “Polite friendliness: Be likable, but not overly intimate or personal. How many times have you witnessed an American ask someone "how are you?" only to walk away before that person even has the chance to respond? This is because we like the idea of being pleasant, but do not have the time or the desire to go too in-depth with our personal stories.” This is the beginning of an interview. Before the interview we don’t know other countries culture or history so we should avoid some sensitive topic.

Although interviewing an international student have many challenges, but also can give me some benefits. Such as know different countries culture, improve my communication skills, meet new person from different country, learn about their manners etc. Understanding the different national culture is very important to us and through the interview we can learn different countries culture. If you we  interviewing an international student we need use English however the English is not our first language so make the interviewing can help us improve communication skills. In the interview process we find that we can learn is not only the culture and we can learn a lot of things, such as this country’s food, education system, country’s environment and so on. This interviewing can give us too many benefits.

No matter challenges and benefits in interviewing an international student that all of learning experience, dare to try is the most important.
