After 3 Interviews: A comparison.
The third interview was really the one that I knew entirely how to react to most situations in the interview. It was clearly the highest level of comfort that had been achieved since the first one. The interview process definitely evolved from the first interview. In some ways, it became more streamlined and in others it became smoother and more transitional. Knowing how to react or how to transition between questions really makes a huge difference in maintaining a flow during the questioning. There was a lot to be learned about the culture differences, but at the same time I couldn't help but to pick up a deeper knowledge of how to get to know someone comfortably. This is not only useful in an interview, but even in your daily life when you meet knew people or move to a new location. The level of comfort achieved has to do with how much they trust you. I found culture and heritage played a huge role in what people were willing to share when interview. In America we are quite fearless I think due to the massive amount of freedom and protection we have. This allows us to be more open with those who are willing to listen without questioning their intent. This was a stark contrast from my first interview of someone from China. It was more about hitting the important details of what in their life was worth hearing but not compromising information. It was interesting to see the role a person's home government had in not only their lives, but they way they share information and how trusting that person is. I definitely got a more communicative flow from the final interview than either of the other two. That is just a part of learning and growing though.
