My first interview experience in class

I worked with Hale and Chris. What I learned Hale was that we have plenty of cultural similarities and I got a chance to know that how Confucianism has significant impacts on Asian cultures. We have a lot of common on culture, educational system, and religious beliefs and so on. What I learned mostly from Chris was something on American high school educational system and his interests, which was interesting to know.

I had a lot of fun. They were cooperative and open to talk, which made the interviews went very smoothly, which was great. And more importantly, in those practice interviews, I learned many interview skills and techniques. I learned some ideas on how to be a icebreaker, how to use small talk to open an interview, how to watch interviewees' body language and notice when they feel like taking and when don't, how to go from one question to another question smoothly, how to appreciate what they have done for me, how to be respectful, polite, and friendly, how to make the interviews look more natural and relaxing, and what I should avoid and focus on during the interviews and sort of things. And I am looking for some nice experience working with three international interviewees.
