Report on Interview experience

Report on Interview experience

From the entire sections experience it goes without saying that everybody enjoyed the the interview session as a interviewer . It is very common to face little problem while interviewing. This troubles varies from different person, still few common problem arise. For an example to catch the unfamiliar terms of the culture. More or less all of us face that problem. From my experience I need to request my interviewee to tell detail about his culture. The reason is when he talked about his festivals I did not get anything. Some of classmates got the same problem. One of my classmate find some vocabulary problem. While he was taking the interview the interviewee addressed some local terms that has no English meaning. Few people find problem in ice breaking time. It is not very easy talk with an unknown person.The person who interview their friends or neighbours they didn't face much problem but people who were find international student from CIS or other international organization find the problem. Another problem arise at the time of recording interview. Some of us not able to collect tape recorder and few of us find problem while recording. Couple of interviewer delayed their interview time. Some takes it twice. Sometime it appears as a hazard to interviewee. Although we had time limits about 30 - 40 minutes but it was really tough for all of us to maintain that time limit. The reason is when and starts talking it looks odd to stop him during talking. Most of our classmates tried maintain track and figure out some very interesting topic from midst of them.

The good side of the interview was it was a practice about approaching people. When we enter our real professional life we need to work with different kind of person. That was a great practice for us.

In brief, taking an international students interview was full of fun in general. Knowing about a person as well as a culture brings a different experience to us.
