Literature Interview Tips (English)

“How can I prepare when the interviewer could ask me absolutely anything about English?”

By understanding how the interview works and, crucially, what it is that the interviewer is looking for. The interviewer is not looking to catch you out, but rather for you to demonstrate your curiosity, knowledge and passion for English.

“How am I able to do that?”

Show that you enjoy studying English independently The easiest way to demonstrate your enthusiasm for English is to show that you are self-motivated and have studied the subject in your free-time for enjoyment – for example through online lectures and independent reading. If you don’t know where to start, review our suggested reading list below.

Demonstrate your subject knowledge about and passion for English The key to answering these questions is to always demonstrate your thought process aloud. The interviewer does not expect you to be able to answer every question immediately, but rather wants to determine that you are able to think about and work on unknown topics with confidence, intelligence and clarity – and they won’t be able to do that if you sit in silence! Use the list of questions below to prepare. Perhaps you can have a friend or relative ask you these questions so that you can develop your skills of thinking under time pressure and speaking out loud.

Example: “I once read an article online about how to write better dialogue. I thought it was so helpful because I’d been struggling with my characters’ conversations for a while. After reading that article, I applied some of its tips to my next story and noticed a huge improvement. It made me realize that there are always new ways to improve our writing.”

Example: “Authors have a responsibility to write books that are entertaining and engaging. They should also be respectful of other authors’ works and not plagiarize or copy them in any way. I think it’s important to understand that when we publish our work, we’re representing ourselves and the entire literary community. We need to make sure that what we’re putting out there is quality work.”

Literary terms are often used in the publishing industry, so interviewers may ask you to define or describe a few of them. This question is asking about two literary terms that have similar definitions but different applications. Use examples from your experience to explain what each term means and how it’s used.

Example: “Drama is one of the three main categories of literature. It’s defined as any work that focuses on conflict between characters. Drama differs from tragedy because it has a happy ending. Tragedy is defined as any work that ends in death or failure. Comedy is another form of drama that ends happily.”

Example: “I have read many of his plays, but I am still confused about some of the characters. For example, in ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ Mercutio seems like he’s one character, but then later it seems like he’s Romeo’s friend. I’m not sure if there was another character with the same name or if Shakespeare just changed his mind.”
