Interview #3

Process description:

My third preparation of the interview was going simply since I have finished two interviews before and I had much more experience. I selected a Korean student in SCSU on the face book. I sent a message to her and asked her could I do interview with her, and she said “yes!” After that, we decided to meet in the school library at 7:00 pm on 11/15/2011. Before the interview, I printed twelve questions with paper for her. In addition, I estimated the holistic time of the interview and prepared the process in my mind before she came. I was waiting on the first floor in library at 6:45 and she arrive library at 6:55. After she came and she had a short breath, we started our interview. The whole process was going smoothly, but it was not interesting as the previous interviews. Finally, we finished our interview and I gave my appreciation to her.

Personal review:

I thought this third interview only went smoothly but we did not have enough fun in it. The interviewee was found on the face book, so the biggest problem was we did not know each at all. Her name is Jiwon Lee. We just talked formally with nervous and strange. Fortunately, I prepared well and had enough experience before, so I did not screw up it. I thought the important factor in an interview is preparation and patience. I have already had purpose in my mind and tried my best to make the interview successfully. Because of that, we did not feel awkward in the interview and Jiwon Lee had a great cooperation with me. So, generally, I think this interview is still successful even if it was not fun as before.
