essay on challenges and benefits of interviewing an international

 

           Countries could be different in term of language, culture, religion, education, and many other aspects. This is why interviewing someone from a country different than yours could be challenging, and beneficial at the same.

          Concerning the challenge in interviewing an international, there are some issues that come into it Such as language conflict. Not be able to clearly understand someone else’s saying is not very beneficial for the interviewer. This could be due to the interviewer being not familiar with the accent or could be due to the interviewee not being able to clearly speak the interviewer’s language. There can also be an excessive talking coming from the interviewer side.  The excessive talking could either be too many information at a time or too many info that is not related to the question being asked. Another challenge would be an improper question to ask coming from the interviewer. Some people sometime feel very uncomfortable talking about certain things regarding their countries or themselves. Honesty could also be a pretty big challenge when interviewing not only an international but anyone. Since you are interviewing someone from a different country that you have no clue of who exactly he is, and trying to get important information from him should be a very huge hope in making sure to get the right information. Not recording information is very challenging as well because It is important to write down very important keys information possible in order to have it as a backup in case you forget. Also bad initial introduction from either could result in bad verbal interaction during the interview.

                Regarding the advantages in interviewing an international, you can easily obtain detailed information about personal feelings, perceptions and opinions, allow more detailed to be asked. Because this gives to the interviewer, the possible to clarify all types of questions and thoughts he had concerning the country.  The Interviewer gets a better understanding on the culture, education and other aspect according to the type of information he or she is seeking.

3 favorite picked countries

      I first pick Japan because they have the most successful Car industries in the world. Since I'am going for mechanical and specicaly want to be a design engineer, I think learning or having an experiemce with the type of system they adopt for their companies could be very beneficial for me in the future.

     I secondly pick Germany for pretty much the same reasons I pick japan. both countries have an excellent system that enable car industries to be successful. The other reason I pick Germany is because I have 02 sisters and a brother that lives there, so it will be pretty easier for me to assimilate

    Saudi Arabia is my third choice because I do have a lot of Saudi friends, so I wouldn't mind living there and explore a new culture.
