For this last interview I was really think about it. Which country's interviewee I would like to ask. The same country I did before or I should find a new one. So I was start thinking after last class that I can have enough time to invite my friend. Fortunately, my ETS 183 classmate who was my group leader Myreah Tres, she was lived in same apartment here, I can walk to here room like one minute. So I asked here in class, may I interview you for my English 191's assessment? She said yes. And just call here on the weekend, she will come to my room. I was very happy about this. Because I don't meet at public place that people always make much no ice and she feels very convenient to come that I don't need to wait. We plan to meet on Sunday 2:30P.M.
All in all, she is American, so I search more information about America, before the interview.
2.Interview Report
Also this last interview went very well. We meet in Sunday afternoon 2:30 P.M in my room. Myreah Moore she is native American, she's home in Chicago and she just go college here in St. Cloud. We are ETS classmate, in addition, we are in the same group, moreover we live in the same apartment, which is so coincidence. We feel free to talk and ask. I went through 11 corn questions and ask little bit more about her. I focus on what she part-time life, what she usually doing or does she have any jobs after class. Because in my country most of college students over 90% do not like to work during student, through they also very hardly to find a job. For a little of them just work in their kinsman's company. So I want know more about how American students work in college.
During the interview i asked her 11 corn questions and little more about herself.
3.Country Report
For this country report I want to study how the international students find job, how their work going, what their thinking. I want to study about this.
I am going to find what other Chinese students said which points I need remember and attention.
Looking for a job in the United States required state of mind
Confidence: this thing must have, from class began to come to the United States, you have to believe in yourself, because you can come to the United States, came to a more excellent business school itself shows that you better than others. We Chinese sent he sent in language, no matter how you practice, a whole Chinese oral English is not possible with americans, europeans, and India compared to people. But also don't be discouraged, the za yao intelligence than their strong, speaking must also be bold, the American people can understand your English, so you need to do is daring to speak out your view! You don't look down upon the ", "effective express themselves and communication with others is the most important job you link! To a certain extent than your listening, reading, and writing to important one hundred times. On the other hand, the spoken language is you ensure high level GPA as an important part of the class in the United States, in the discussion is necessary, even some of the lecture is all said, the extent of the said directly determine your score. The Chinese often in this link to eat a lot of above a deficit. Remember, you will think you are strong, strong than others.
We need to know where the supply of a work.
The school career service center is preferred, because the school has strong links with the outside world, where the company is introduced by the company in your school, this is why we leave no stone unturned to go to a good school's cause.
Other sites: monster, monstertrack, dootstang, craigslist, yahoo! And so on. The website is the American range, so you can have a variety of advanced search.
There is a important way, is through the people you know pass inside the resume. Americans looking for work 80% are introduced through acquaintances and interview of the find, is very, very important way. So if everyone in the United States had a relationship, it will use all relations help you, this also is the most effective way. Of course if not, will be through the front two ways.
When a job attitude:
1, don't so much trouble, tank. Remember, the Chinese people in the United States only disadvantage no advantage in! So we need to do all we can do is to apply for the job, even if the job of undergraduate students is called, you also want to apply for.
2, must pay attention to followup, the so-called followup, is not in application delivery after resumeandcover gets the job done, if there is a collection of the telephone number of the resume people, must be in 2 days after delivery around call and ask. Or want to send E-mail to ask. Or implement to a point: the American people need to this work is interested, passion, desire, so you must be all the action through consistent like recruitment unit expression.
3, often to the opinion and careerservice consult the improved method. This is important because they are professional, their purpose is to find a job or internship you as soon as possible, so the attitude of the general will be quite good, on demand. Your resume and a coverletter in before, especially the most began to apply for lack of experience, must be taught them. Of course also have exception, some time ago have the Chinese students, she is before graduate from the university of macau, the result was the people there scolded, is rare, content is roughly: you these Chinese, phone call, so late and still find internships, the employment rate of this year we all let you these Chinese screw-ups. Very helpless, because indeed to the last Chinese the majority have not found an intern.
Here we must be aware of is, finding a job is the essence of information!
