INTERVIEW FOR WORK AND TRAVEL PROGRAM

Please type in the answers to the questions below:

  1. What work experience (working with customers, cashier, server, etc.) and/or other skills have you acquired which may help you succeed in your placement?
I was working in American call center, where I had a huge experience in conversation with Americans. It was not for a long period of time, but I think it will help me anyway in my placement. This work helps me a little better to understand American speech, what is very important for my future employment.
  1. What is your field of study? What courses have you completed which may help you succeed in your placement?
My field of study I guess is art. I attended art school, but unfortunately did not finish it in connection with studies. I don’t know how it may help me with my placement, but it’s really what I like to do. Also I attended English language courses and do a lot of amateur sport, like dancing, kickboxing and swimming.
  1. Why do you want to work and live in the U.S during your summer vacation?
I want to work and live in U.S. during my vacation, because I think it’s a huge experience first of all. It was always interesting for me to test myself, to live far away from home, to be on my own. To teach myself how to achieve some certain success in the work. And of course, America is so beautiful from TV screens, so I dream to see it with my own eyes and dive with head into its amazing atmosphere.
  1. What placement would you most enjoy? Why?
Most of all I will enjoy placement on the coast. First of all it is summer, and I want to spend it near the ocean, and this marine atmosphere I like very much. I want to be able to spend my free from work time on the beach, and I always dreamed to learn surfing, so I hope that I’ll have such a possibility.
  1. What do you hope to learn from participating in the program? Why?
  1. Think about the decision of hiring from the employer’s perspective… why should the employer hire you?
The employer should hire me because first of all I’m conscientious and responsible person. These qualities are especially appreciated at work. All that I do, I try to carry through. I am disciplined and punctual, and I always keep my promises. I consider myself a sociable person. It is not difficult for me to find a common language with new person, even if I know him for a little period of time. I am very energetic and do not like to sit at one place and I am always ready to learn some new things.  
  1. How would your friends describe you?
My friends think that I'm a good friend, kind and cheerful person, companion who can always listen and help in any situation and a person whom they can rely on. They know that I will never betray them, even if we are in a quarrel, although it happens very rarely. I always try to find compromises.
  1. What do you think it will be like to be a foreigner? How do you feel about interacting with not only Americans, but people from other countries?
Communicating with a foreigner has its pluses and minuses. People of different nationalities have different mindsets. It can cause some difficulties. But despite this, it’s always very interesting to talk to a foreigner. From him you can learn many new and interesting things, connecting with his country, and not only. When I get a chance to talk to a foreigner, I try not to miss it.
  1. If things do not go the way you expected, how will you handle this?
Life is unpredictable and this is its finest part. First of all do not give up and get frustrated. I will try to draw from this situation all valuable lessons and make sure that the next time everything will go according to my plan. Any acquired experience is experience whenever, and you never know exactly when it might come in handy. In any case, you must stay with a positive attitude.  
  1. Give an example of a difficult situation you have dealt with in the past.
I was reminded of an accident involving my dog. I have a big dog of fighting breed. It is always ready to defend me. Once I went out with it for a walk late at night. Suddenly we heard a woman screaming far from us. I noticed a young man and a girl. Guy was molesting that girl and wrung her hands, he insulted her. I immediately went to them and made it clear that I would release my dog if he did not stop. Guy was got scared and walked away. I had to carry the girl to her home because she was frightened and under the stress.
