    I'm trying to also do similar-like videos to you, with study abroad help. New to this stuff I've realized how much there really is to learn, and your video is really great quality! The lighting, background music, transitions, and ability to talk to the camera are all awesome. Keep up the awesome work and I'm going to definitely try to learn from this!
    Also good content, watched it through

    • @almostaustin
      @almostaustin  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for the compliment and the support! You should absolutely go for it - I think there is quite a significant hole in the market for good quality and high value information on study abroad. I 100% support you in making the space more interesting and competitive. Also, If you thought my video was good quality, you'll be happy to know it's all super low budget stuff. The most of your spending is best used "spending time" watching videos on and researching how to get good sound, good lighting, and efficient editing practices. Furthermore, my best advice is just practice as much as possible and get your stuff out there - set the bar pretty low for yourself in the beginning, and you will learn much quicker from your mistakes than if you just got stuck on trying to achieve the highest level of quality from day 1. Best of luck with the videos and the channel - I'm excited to see your work.

Also, yeah it can easily be frustrating, but just taking it one step at a time and learning a little everyday is how I'm trying to take it. What I also find so cool about this, is that this type of useful stuff we're trying to make isn't just for the right now and the views and the subscribers but stuff I can be proud of that I made that'll exist online.

      - Why do you want to go on exchange
      - Do you know what you’re signing up for
      - What’s has been the biggest challenge in my life and how did i deal with it
      - Why should they pick me for the program, like why are you the best choice (i actually had a total blackout when they asked this cuz i hadn’t actually thought ab that but they just skipped it when they saw i wasn’t able to answer, i got in however so i guess it wasn’t that important lol)
      - What countries and why
      - If i travel a lot and if i have experience with being away from my family
      - What my expectations are
      - How long I have thought about going on exchange and from were i heard ab it and also how much i know about it
      Since I have Japan as my first choice they asked me a bit about my expectations and thought why I have it as my first and since i’m from Finland they we just talked about how different the cultures are and stuff

    Someone pls tell me- so I watched a different person’s vid on how to become an exchange student. And they said that you can get picked to go to ur first choice country, and if u don’t u get to pick other countries. Im kinda confused and nervous since I want to to an exchange program to japan and I wanna be able to go😬 their TH-cam channel is called; SAE, the part im talking ab is probably a quarter to half way through the vid

      Make sure to research which programs you study with. I have heard of some programs have relocated kids and put many Asian students in areas that had high hate crime rates. We shouldn’t support a program that supports anti-Asian hate. Please stop Asian hate! So please make sure to research before you go.!

    • @almostaustin
      @almostaustin  4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Hey! Let's see... I might be able to think of a few.
      1) Focus on active listening when others are talking - stay engaged with the discussion.
      2) Don't feel intimated by the group - likely every is as nervous as you are. Try to the the confident, outgoing positive energy that puts everyone at ease.
      3) Conversation starts conversation. Don't be afraid to start talking with someone - be the person who inataites inclusive group interaction.
      4) Stick to your personal truths - avoid being influenced too much by what others are saying.
      5) The real coolest person in the room, the true leader, is the person who keeps and open mind, doesn't make quick judgements, and includes everyone. There is something to be learnt from everyone, this is objectively factual, so as much pressure as you may feel at times, avoid acting on prejudice and outcasting others just because you think it will boost your own social acceptance.
      6) If a group activity is part of the interview, keep in mind that the role of a communications mediator is equally as important as the person taking charge. Display your openness and adaptability by encouraging discussion and ensuring all voices are heard.
      7) Don't overthink and have fun
      Hope those helped 😁

      Hi Pamela. No worries, I'm happy offer any help - I was quite nervous before my interview as well.
      First Question: Ultimately I would recommend to keep an open mind, actively listen to other, and communicate that you have heard and understood them. For a team to be successful, you need two things: 1. An effective leader/ group of leaders 2. Effective collaborators. Although leaders often get the glory, both sides of the equation are equally valued accomplishing a goal. My advice then would be, help to identify the leader/leadership needed for the task at hand, and be as effective as you can be on the team by encouraging others to listen to and understanding the leader, but also playing a mediator role in practicing communication with the leader. If your are more of the leader type yourself, then remember that the importance of your role is to stay open and listen to ideas of others, and organize action when everyone feels heard and can agree on a solution.
      Second Question: I do actually. If I can exercise the morning of or the day before I always feel better during an interview. Get a good nights sleep the night before. I always put all the clothes I am going to wear the next on a chair ready to go, so when I wake up I don't have to think about where anything is. I make my bed - in general I try to do this because it makes me feel that I've already accomplished something. Furthermore, I try to prepare as much before the interview as I can, and on the morning of, only look at my notes or papers once, then put them away as to not overthink things. Listen to some music.
      Hope that helped. Really, don't stress out about this too much - the interviewers will be nice and you will do great. I'm a little aggressive in the videos, but that's only because I want you all to take things seriously and best prepare yourselves for success.
