During the interview, I will be working on some important points that will lead me to my goals. I can categorize them into the following two fields:
I. I will:
1) Joke around and start off with things that will sound interesting.
2) Be as friendly as possible; they will probably want to become Friends with me as well.
3) Tell them things about myself so that they will comment on them, and they will probably share with me more about theirs.
4) Try to avoid asking too many personal questions if they seemed not comfortable with that. As a result, they will appreciate my understanding and for being respectful to them.
II. I will not:
1) Laugh at them if they told me something weired about their country/culture.
2) Insist on asking a certain question that they are trying to avoid.
3) Talk more than I listen; I am the interviewer not the interviewee.
4) Be rude to them when comparing my culture and theirs.

I like that you added the things that you will not do. You seem to want to avoid and cultural misunderstandings. Good objectives!
ReplyDeleteI like how you want to create a friendly, non stressful environment for the interviewee. It will make your interview very successful.
ReplyDeleteThe new objectives are very well summed. I liked the part where you have mention what you would do.
ReplyDelete#3 in your will not list is really good because you are the one trying to get information from them so it's a good objective to try and listen more than you talk.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will be really good interviewer because you know how to approach them for a good answer.

i specifically like how you say what you are going to do and not going to do.
ReplyDeleteI really like the will not list that is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteThese are good objectives especially the "i will not" ones.I hope your interview will go well.
ReplyDeleteI think these are really good objectives,these should make for a good interview.
ReplyDeletei think these are pretty good, but you need to be more prepared than this on the review of question, cultural research and others before the interview starts
ReplyDeleteI like your objectives, your interviewees will be able to relate to you since you are also an international student and went through the same experiences.
ReplyDeleteDon't joke around too much--it needs to stay professional and organized & sometimes when we joke around it creates a less organized environment...
ReplyDeleteMake sure your jokes are non-offensive to their culture, could be a good ice breaker, but keep it professional for the most part.
ReplyDeleteI like how you organized your objectives. I think I will also refer your I will not part when I do my interview. Thanks!
ReplyDelete"I will not" considerations are important to me to pay attention to conducting an interview.
ReplyDeletei like your organization of your objectives. you first objective will help keep the interview going.
ReplyDeleteI love the joking and the friendliness! This will start your interview off great, yet make sure not to get too carried away you still want to look somewhat professional with this :P
ReplyDeleteI really like the "will not" part I will take a note on that. Great examples for me.
