Hi everyone:

I have a interview tomorrow morning over the phone. I was wondering if anyonw can tell me what some of the questions might be? I do terrible at interviews, I get nervous and my mind goes blank. I am not sure who the students will be. This is with English Unlimited, if anyone knows of them.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Not specific to EU (though I know the basic questions they ask), here is a typical questionnaire that you might find helpful, taken from a Costa Rica school.

Hope it helps!

Now all I need are the answers. LOL

Anyway that was very helpful. Wish me luck tomorrow.

Hey, don't be surprised if you're asked your age, gender, religion, marital status, sexual preferences, how many beers you drink per week, etc. Mexico is a lot different that other parts of the world. If the school is Catholic, they usually don't hire non-Catholics or divorced people.

Those are a good list of questions, thanks Guy.
If an interviewer fails to ask many questions, is that a positive or negative sign?

I guess it depends on hat happens next...a door in your face or a 'welcome aboard'. I'd be wondering too, though, if I'd only gotten a few questions in an interview.
