My first to my second interview was quite different. Although both interviews seemed to be equally good, I feel like I learned more in my first. That may be a difference between the German and Chinese culture too. For my first interview I didn’t know what to expect exactly, but for my second I started to get the hang of it. I feel like the questions were asked more freely compared to the first, I tended to follow only the question list in the first. I got a decent comparison from the first to the second based on culture. Schooling is fairly the same, both difficult. The cracking of an egg in the German culture was new for me, I had never heard of anything like that before. Also, that the Chinese student was not religious surprised me. It was a very big difference. Transcribing my first interview took a long time, because I was not sure how to use the program I recorded on, and how I was going to make the interview format. My second interview was a bit shorter, so it didn’t take as long. Also, I knew how to use my recording program. I am satisfied with my interview effort, but I am going to work on my next interview making my country report longer, and adding pictures. I think pictures, such as a map; it continues to give the readers more to look at, and catches their attention. Compared to other interviews, I feel like mine has been good. It is up in the top with the reviews of my classmates, and I feel like I am doing the best I can. I do need to give myself more time to complete my interviews, but that is something I am going to have to work hard on. I plan on doing my interview as soon as possible to give myself plenty of time to transcribe it and complete the other sections of the interview process/report.
