Different kinds of interviews

There are three main kinds of interviews. The first is an online interview. 【小题3】 The second is an on-site interview at an appointed site, and the last is an in-person interview at the school.

Preparation for an interview

Don’t just talk big about how outstanding and skilled you are. 【小题5】 This will skillfully demonstrate that you can make valuable contributions to the development of the school.
