Long Story Short: 1) Tell me a bit about yourself? 2) Your strengths? 3) Your weaknesses? 4) What do you know about the company? 5) How well do you handle change? 6) Why did you leave your last job? 7) What teaching experience do you have? 8) Qualities of a good teacher? 9) How do you manage misbehavior? 10) Why do you want to come to this country? Ps: Still watch through the entire video since she explains the the do's and dont's very well, Great video!

[@Kouyou160]

Thanks for the vid! Anyone going to talk about how slightly nasty it is that your "bad interviewer" character is like slightly kitschy and hip-hop inspired while your "good interviewer" character is very waspy. You can be waspy and still bad at interviewing but whateves thanks for trying to put effort in

[@MooncakeEnglish]

Hi, thanks for watching and welcome to the Mooncake community! Thanks for bringing up these points, it did make me stop and think about the motivation behind this video. I can see why you might feel the example of how not to interview might be hip-hop inspired, so let me explain my thought process behind the video. This character was based upon many teachers I have actually interviewed and is a reflection on the the ESL job market in China. In China, there are far too many jobs and not enough teachers. This makes it very easy for teachers to choose the company they would like to work for. As such, many teachers make no effort when interviewing and will literally turn up to interview in scruffy t-shirts and caps assuming that because they speak English, they will get the job. This particular character was based upon the many teachers like this that I have interviewed. I totally agree that you can be waspy and still interview badly. Waspy-ness certainly won't get you a job! But, I hope that the video gave some useful information about how to answer some common interview questions and help build your confidence when interviewing. Thanks again for the feedback!

That was great! Helpful and funny.. "the girl with the cap" made me laugh... :-)

[@Dan1245]

Would you recommend a phone or computer for a WeChat interview? Also would you recommend earphones instead of using the speaker? Thanks!

[@MooncakeEnglish]

Hi Daniel! I would recommend a computer, positioned at eye level so that the camera angle is more flattering. If you only have a phone that’s okay too, but set it up at eye level and hands free so you don’t need to hold it. I would suggest headphones if you’re not in a quiet place when you interview. I hope that helps! Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Hi Gino, thanks for watching and welcome to the Mooncake community!

Currently foreigners are not able to enter China, so although there are plenty of teaching opportunities here, it's not possible to enter the country. For online teaching experience your best bet is to research some different online companies. There are lots of different requirements and pay depending on your experience and the country they provide lessons to. Be sure to do lots of research before signing up! I hope that helps 😊
