My interview actually went really well. I do like some things that I did for this interview but I also dislike some of the things I did and there are many changes I wish I had done now that the actual interview is now over. I found myself critiquing myself while listening to the recording and transcribing what I said. Overall, yes, I did get the main ideas of her opinions but I didn’t ask very good questions and I also made a couple rookie mistakes when doing this interview. I did the reading before the interview, and I read the interview material once more after the interview and I found myself not doing some of the things that the reading said to do. I 'll start with the things I did wrong in this interview. First off, I wished I didn’t write down my questions honestly. Having written questions felt like I was going off topic too much. It almost felt like a script because I directly read the questions and it just felt unnatural. The conversation didn 't really seem to flow well because the questions I chose. If I did redo the interview I probably …show more content…
The interviewee and I both felt very comfortable, I didn’t sense much distress until I got to the controversial topics, which is great. Both parties should be comfortable when it comes to an interview. Also, although I did wait long periods before talking sometimes and I also cut her off once, I do feel like I did get a decent amount of information from her. I also asked open-ended questions too. I actually didn’t ask any leading questions in this interview which is why I got such lengthy answers from her but I did compound some questions which I wouldn 't do next time because the trend seems to be that she would respond to the last question I asked instead of acknowledging everything I said. Another thing I feel that I did well was listening. I did not talk very much, she did the talking for about ¾ of the interview which is
One of the many pros of a face-to-face interview is that it is easy to convey emotion. This gave me the opportunity to ask different types of questions and for him to elaborate on these personal inquiries. Also my interviewee was very responsive to my questions and he gave me excellent feedback ranging from general answers to specific, without me asking to further explain. I knew that I could dive more in depth with the questions, which allowed for more information regarding to my sports oriented questions. To be honest, they’re not many cons in regards to my interviewee and how he responded to my questions. Now I didn’t ask sexual questions or how he feels about relationships, which may be a con because I didn’t get his view on this prominent topic in today’s
Without a structured protocol, I did not know where I should have developed follow-up questions. In some points of the interview, I received a whole bunch of information and became overwhelmed. There were some pauses during my short interview. Sometimes, the interviewee waited for me to ask more questions. She even kept asking me “Do you want to know anything else?” After first twenty minutes of the interview, I really felt hard to keep track with the interview. I was abashed and a little bit panicking to propose the next question. Sometimes, I asked a random question just to maintain the interview. I felt like I was in a marathon that I was exhausted at the last run. I have been uncomfortable when recalling the interview. I keep reminding myself that I did not know how to maintain a real inductive interview.
Before the activity started I made some question that were related with the culture of the person and that would lead me to know many things about the culture of the person. Before, the interview started I felt so happy that my friend from Nigeria accepted to have an interview with me even though he looked like if he was doing homework. I could appreciate desire of willingness. So I started the interview asking open questions like how is the
This was my first time ever interviewing a professor. I had interviewed students before, but it was never as intimidating as interviewing a professor. I thought that the professor would in a way rush through the interview, but I was wrong. My professor listened and made sure that all my questions were answered, and after the interview, I felt that there is more than just students to go to when help is needed professors are always there too. I do not regret giving the interview, for it was a new experience and I found it very helpful. I was personally evaluated by a professor. It felt good to know that there are certain things I need to work on in order to be more successful. I wasn 't let down at all I took the evaluations as advice, and I love good advice. I now feel that I could go up to any professor and not worry about the feeling of being intimidated. This interview showed me how much the professors care for my overall well-being both inside and outside of college. I learned that professors know a lot and they also have a lot of advice to give. I was also told to make sure that I plan things out before hand instead of just adjusting to them as they came up. I was surprised when the professor told me to make sure that I know how a lot of things work in college, and that I shouldn’t wait until my senior year to learn new things, for that 's the mistake he made. With good explanation,
Although the experience was nerve-racking, I believe that I did a very good job. I was able to collect the majority of the information that she was telling me while asking follow up questions. However, it was more to balance than I had expected. It was difficult asking questions and attempting to record enough information to complete my assignment. As the conversation continued, I got interested in her life stories and professional examples and noticed I had stopped taking notes. I also felt the need to make constant eye contact to show I was alert and aware of what she was saying, which brought challenges to my note taking. This interview process made me feel excited for the future. It was an intriguing opportunity to know that one day I will be able to positively impact lives the way Fultz does. To improve my interview skills, I would ask if I could record the conversation. This will allow me to interact more with the health professional while also consuming a maximum amount of information. I wish I had thought about recording this conversation prior to the interview, because Fultz spoke beautifully about her passion as a social worker, and I wish I was able to directly quote her in this
For that, I interviewed my boss, Karen. I see her almost every work day but there were still many things I wanted to ask her about. I knew that she had been married to a man before she met her wife, and that she still had his last name even after separating and remarrying. I also knew that her father was a Methodist minister and performed her marriage ceremony back when he could’ve gotten in a lot of hot water for doing so. I knew that she was adopted, too. But the rest of her life, the in-between moments, were still a mystery to me. So, I really enjoyed that interview. As you can tell from the transcription, we laughed a lot and got along well. I think she felt comfortable and she told me later that she had enjoyed talking with me. I also came more prepared and with more questions. It was hard to do my initial research on my student interviewee because there wasn’t a lot of prior information that I could find about her. With Karen, I not only had my own prior information, but she is also easily found on the internet. A lot of that has to do with her age and the businesses she has been involved
The interview was conducted March 23, 2016, late afternoon I contacted Mr. Malone via cell phone. I then stated my name and introduced the topic of the interview. Afterwards I informed Mr. Malone about the types of questions I was going to ask him and told him to speak freely and not to answer anything that makes him uncomfortable. All of the questions I asked were good but there was a few that
I pronounced and enounced majority of my words clearly and effective. One word that I messed up was certifications. When I mispronounced this word, I immediately said sorry and repeated the word along with the sentence. I did not over exaggerate my vocabulary. I said words that were simple and easy to understand. I also used proper grammar and avoided slang words. During the interview, I was not afraid to ask for clarification if I did not understand her answer. One of the things I needed Lacey to clarify on was the meaning of Lead Points. According to Lacey, William Woods’s students have to receive 40 Lead Points to receive a 5,000 dollars scholarship for school. In order to receive Lead Points, students have to go to a certain amount of campus events. I treated Lacey as an individual and did not automatically assume that she does the exact same things like my Student Involvement Director, Julie Cook. When asking Lacey questions, I stopped a couple of times because I was trying to remember all of them by memory. I realized that it is ok to look down at my notes every now and then to help me to remember. Throughout the entire interview, I said um three
During this interview I was unsure how to intervene with the client when they were going into such detail right away. I think that this is a skill I will need to continue to improve on. During the interview I used both closed-ended and open-ended questions to gain information from the client so I could get a better understanding of who they are as a person. After watching the film, I think that I could have conducted the interview better. I believe that I made a mistake by asking the client why they were there, before asking questions on their background. I think this made me back track on the client and made the beginning of the session a little awkward. This has allowed me to realize how I would like to
...th the patient I kept thinking that if this were my mother how would I want the nurse to treat her. I tried to behave in the way I would expect a nurse to treat me. I had preconceived notions before meeting the patient and they were all laid to rest almost immediately, honestly I was nervous. But once I started it began to feel comfortable and the interview just flowed naturally.
When we were first given this assignment I had not put much consideration into it. I thought we were to ask a couple of questions, it would all work itself out and I would be done. But this was not the case. The thought and reflection put into interview questions really surprised me. There was far more factors other than the questions you were asking, because you were also dealing with people, people who are giving you there free time, their attention and opening themselves up to you a stranger, so there were far more responsibilities then what were initially at hand.
Overall I believe that the interview went extremely well. The only thing that I wish we were able to do is get through all of our questions. We still had two questions left that we didn’t get to ask the students. These questions were about space and gravity and I believe that they would have been very interested in these questions. Even though we weren’t able to get to those questions, the interview still went extremely well. I honestly can’t think of anything that you could have done to support us better for this experience. I feel like Carly and I were well prepared for this
I feel that the interview has given me a deeper understanding of the importance of communication in my future career, specifically rapport building. I’ve also gained an understanding of how to build an effective rapport with patients. Remembering things such as verbal encouragers and being sure to remain as close to eye-level as possible with my patients are really going to make all the difference in my future career.
Nathan also commented that I was really good at articulating the responses to the questions. Therefore I was amazed by the comments I received from the interviewer and the observers. I felt like I could have been even better if I overcame my
