A Interview At An Interview

Shantelle Jones is a 17-year old adolescent female who was referred to this agency following a brief hospitalization for a suicide attempt. She resides in Rural, Michigan with her paternal aunt, Ms. Wilson, who has become her adoptive parent, as well as her younger sister, her paternal grandmother, and an adult male cousin. During her intake appointment, Ms. Wilson stated that she would like Miss Jones to be less aggressive toward her sister, less rebellious, and to become compliant with the medical recommendations of the psychiatrist who treated her in the hospital. Miss Jones stated that she would not like counseling, but if it was necessary she would comply because she would like to be less depressed and have less strife in her home life.

The interview process is something we have all gone through in order to get any job. It may not be our dream job but it is a job and we all have to do this process in order to even be able to start working. In Katy Piotrowski’s article “Preparing for the Job Interview: Know Thyself,” she explains everything that you need to know and not know when going to a job interview. Graduating college and having a Bachelor’s degree of Science in Nursing is what I look forward to doing in the next two years. I will be discussing myself applying for a position in the nursing department. Being the right candidate for this RN nursing position in hospice care requires a lot of hard work and dedication, and that is why I am a good candidate for this position.

Interviews tend to be ineffective at predicting a candidate’s success, because they too often become get-to-know-you sessions, rather than focusing on the needs of the position.

When I first found out about this assignment I was a little anxious because I didn 't know whom I would interview or how my request would be received. As I consider my options I thought it would be best to interview someone that could offer me some insight as to what it is like to be an elementary or junior high school counselor, which are the two age groups that I would most like to work with. With this in mind, I decided to interview one of my son 's past guidance counselors. This is a woman that I have admired since the first day that I met her. In talking with her I found her to be a very knowledgeable, caring, and open person. She has been in the helping profession for over twenty years and working as a guidance counselor since 1999.

How do you overcome bias in the interviewing process, questions, and your response? Per Marisela, this is one of her

Nick: “A man named John Hinckley shot Reagan. He was off of his rocker and had an obsession with Jodie Foster who was close with Reagan. The shooting crippled one of the associates that was with him at the time. Reagan did not even realize he had been shot. After this shooting gun laws named after his associate, it is called the Brady Law.”

Personal commonalities with interviewees can result in more honest responses (Valentine 2005 p.113), however this is not likely to be the case as ethnicity, age, and in some cases gender will be different. This can also raise issues of power relations, which according to feminist researchers means that neutrality and objectivity cannot be achieved (Kitchin and Tate 2000 p. 219). This can make interviewees feel uncomfortable and less likely to open up (Kitchin and Tate 2000). Genuine trust and rapport would overcome this issue, especially if it is achieved before the interview commences through informal conversation and ensuring the brief is

This Tuesday, February 23, 2016, I had the opportunity to interview Carolina Portales. Mrs. Portales is a Pre-K ESL teacher at the elementary school Lorenzo de Zavala in the Grand Prairie Independent School District. Even though I had to wait about an hour to interview her, it was worth it because she was very helpful and kind answering most of my questions. The interview lasted about an hour; it started about 4:00 pm and ended by 5:00 pm. She not only answered most of my questions, as well, she gave me some advices to get ready for my first year of teaching.

In recent interviews conducted with five target audience members who all shop the Target brand on average once per week, all but one was a Red Card credit card holder. The fifth participant shopped at Target as often as the others, both online and retail, but cited not wanting another credit card as the reason for not having a Red Card. The other four interviewees were all familiar with the 5 percent discount on all purchases, free online shipping with no minimum purchase, and easy in-store returns. One also like the 5 percent donation Target makes to local schools of choice. None mentioned the 5 percent off for one day of shopping for every two prescriptions filled as incentive. Three of the five interviewed said that Target was their online retailer of choice, compared to the other two who stated Amazon as their preference. When asked what improvements, if any, could be made to better service customer needs, all interviewees who offered an answer mentioned website reliability and slowness as areas of concern. Due to these concerns, none participated in designer releases, Black Friday, or Cyber Monday during the past year. Of those interviewed, on average, 12 percent of their total Target shopping was done online vs. 88 percent in store. Once also stated that she would like the ability to make online purchases through the Cartwheel app.

I'd envisioned myself arriving early, awing them with my resume and poise, and leaving with reasonable certainty that I'd done well. But when interview

My first choice for an interviewee is my Mother. Her name is Karyn Claire Murray, and she is not a US citizen. She is a legal alien from England, but she has spent two large chunks of her life in the US. In her early twenties, she spent a year working at Disney World as a Cultural Representative in the EPCOT Center. She moved back to England after working in America, but at the age of twenty-six she married my father and moved to Northern California. She has now been in Northern California for thirty years now. Since moving to America she has experienced culture shocks, stereotypes, and segregation from her American family since she is not a citizen. She has gone through immigration, culture changes and self-questioning of what country she

Conducting interviews is fundamental as a case manager. In order to understand more about good interviewing, I decided to watch an interview about an addict mother conducted by Dr. Phil. While watching this interview, I made some notes on attitudes and characteristics that I considered important for good interviewing. The characteristics will be presented in the following paragraphs.

Through reflecting on my previous interview I was able to pull apart both positives and negatives aspects of my interview allowing myself time to look into the effects that the negative
