TESL INTERVIEW

Assalamualaikum my reader(s) Today's post is about my TESL interview. my mum really wants me to study in this particular university college which is KUIS. So, the main purpose of this entry is to share about what the interviewer asked me and some tips that may help you if you are going to be interviewed. Before I start, my interview was unexpected. when I was in the kitchen, mum called me and told me *oh tomorrow you are going to be interviewed by KUIS*. oh ya, we were staying at my cousins house at seri kembangan, selangor(i live in kedah) because my mum has to attend this rehearsal organize by polytechnics bla bla idk. as my mother went back from the rehearsal she stopped by KUIS and asked about TESL because KUIS offers me foundation management and I wanted to change the course to TESL(obviously)/ So... it was seriously out of blue, they said I have to attend an interview by tomorrow morning at 10 am. wait, what about my sijil and stuffs. Fortunately, I brought my spm slip and important certificates coz mum asked me to bring it anywhere I go. but still I have not prepare anything. I started to made some research (lah sangat). thank you GOOGLE. and found numerous of blogs talking about interviews thank you to all of you, credits will be written by the end of this post. I decided to share this to help you as much as other bloggers shared to help me and you. why not? its a good thing. you guys can also refer to their blogs too. so, this is what I prepared(for a couple hours, I didnt have much time realizing I have to memorize them as well) :

 INTRODUCE YOURSELF/ EXPLAIN BRIEFLY ABOUT YOURSELF

 Thank you for giving me this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is siti ainul mardhiah. I was born in kuantan, pahang. I completed my schooling from SMK kulim. coming to my family background, my father is a pensioner of a private firm. He worked as financial controller. my mother works as an accounting lecturer. my siblings consist of.... my hobbies are singing and reading books. my ambition is to be an english lecturer. therefore, I will do my very best to achieve my ambition.


 WHY DO YOU CHOOSE TESL?/ WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE AN ENGLISH TEACHER?/WHY ENGLISH? / WHY A TEACHER?

 I choose TESL because in nearly every country on the planet there's huge number of people who want to learn english. Its the international language of business and commerce. plus, speaking it improves people's prospects. Next, by being an english teacher, I would be able to contribute to the nation by delivering english language to those in need. at the same time, I can improve my english skills. Besides teaching english, being a teacher can also help to deliver other knowledge that I learn with the students. Last but no least, I want to help young people understand subject that I enjoyed. 


EDUCATIONAL ISSUE, CURRENT ISSUE:

 (this is depending on whats going on at your time reading this) mine was'malaysia's higher education system world class'. malaysia's higher education is now on par with those of developed nations including the UK, germany and australia. idris jusoh said this was proven y the fact bla bla bla.

 AND THAT WAS IT, I DIDNT PREPARE MUCH. I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS BEING INTERVIEWED ON THAT DAY. ONLY ME, NOBODY I CAN TALK TO EXCEPT MY MUM. HA HA. but, there are a lot of questions that were unpredictable : why do you choose KUIS? what do you think about students getting involve in politics? KUIS is an islamic university college I should have known!! she asked me to recite surah : AL-Alaq, Doa Qunut, Iftitah and :Rukun Iman, Rukun Islam. I am sorry, I couldnt recall rest of the questions. So, I hope it helps and good luck to you!

#muahciked sorry for any grammar, spelling mistakes. kbye Ps: all you got to do is be yourself, the main point of an interview is to see how your personality is and how do you act on questions given. Who cares about grammar mistakes when youre going to learn it soon and they knew that. Wear nice clothes and dont forget to smile and be confident, I can do it means you can do it because we are all humans after all =)
