Hello everyone,

I don't ever have any interview in my life, so basically I have zero interview skill. And I don't think I can keep talking for a long time because I'm not a native English speaking. My question is: 1)where can I get to practice my interview skill and 2) where can I get some information to prepare for some common questions that will be asked during an interview? I'm going to apply this summer and I'm kinda nervous about that. Thanks for any input!

Learn to talk to normal people.
Go to your school's career centre.

Agreed. It really just is about holding a normal, respectful but casual conversation with an elder.

what if they ask you something that you have no clue how to answer?

👍👍 You DEFINITELY won't be able to practice this online or in a book. Talk to career services (all schools have one) for a mock interview if you want one.

Well I expect some forethought about the more typical interview questions, but just wing it like you'd do in normal conversation or say "I don't know". It's good that you're seeking some workshops, but it's also great practice to just talk to people you see day-to-day.

Search SDN for a list of common interview questions. Threads from previous years should be pretty easy to locate.

Can't worry about worst-case scenarios - you'll get yourself all worked up. Just stop, think, and answer appropriately.
