Brent. The Second Interview

everybody in the organization knew that the change had commitment from the very top. I

Since Mr. Travers works on different projects and different parts of the technical aspect of Tiffany and Co. , his typical workday fluctuates in what kind of work he does and how much of a workload there is. Recently, as far as when the interview was taken, he and his team were at the end of development on a large project that has been in the works for about two years. They were going to go live with it the week after the interview took place. What this meant for Mr. Travers to do during that time was to go through the project and to make sure that there are no bugs in the programming and to get every part set up and ready for execution before the deadline. Once deadline arrives, he will start up the project and hook it up to communicate with their pre existing systems via a service bus. In

We sat down on the leather, red couch and I slipped out my interview questions. I decided ahead of time to write the questions I was going to write about. I chose to ask about his interactions with his childhood pets, so I then looked him in the eye and asked him.

In 1967, Leon Gorman was made president of the well known Maine retail company known as L.L. Bean. Gorman was elected president by the board of directors just eight months after the death of his grandfather and company founder L.L. Bean. After working only six years for the company before being promoted, Gorman had an immense task to take the company to the next level and begin planning for the future. Through calculated leadership, Leon Gorman was able to accomplish that task and take L.L. Bean from $4.75 million to $1.5 billion in sales before stepping down in 2013. Leon Gorman reached far beyond his grandfather’s expectations and made L.L. Bean one of the most recognized brands in the United States and abroad. What makes Leon Gorman a great leader was not not only what he did for sales and profits, but what he did for his employees and community. Mr Gorman “was a boss, mentor, coach, community leader, dear friend, and inspiration,” Chris McCormick, president and CEO of L.L. Bean Inc., said in a statement on his death. “Most importantly, he was the most decent human being you would ever want to meet. We will all miss him greatly” (Marquard, 2015).

Hello Mr. Alston, what would you like to be called? The client response “everyone calls me Charlie, so you can also”. Well Charlie tell me a little about yourself and what are you most proudest of? Charles starts out by talking about his wife of 40 years, Emily who has kept the family together through good and bad times, his three children two boys, Charlie Jr., Robby, and Christy, and his five grandchildren. So Charlie it sounds like you have a wonderful loving, supportive family. Let me ask you Charlie, what bring you here today, and what is you biggest worrier?

The interview took place in the client’s home in the living room where she had requested for the interview to take place. Prior to the interview the client had requested to sit on a bean bag chair on the floor for comfort and I had asked permission to sit on the client’s couch which allowed the client to determine the space between the two of us, offering her comfort. The interview began with a brief greeting that included thanking the client for taking the time to attend the appointment which allowed the client to know that I appreciated her time to build rapport. I

After my interview with a former security officer at the 9/11 memorial, I learned a whole new perspective of the site. In comparison to what I had observed in my short time there, my informant, Ricky who worked the site for years was able to give me an insight on what I was not able to observe. At first, I was hesitant to bother my friend for an interview since I knew he was busy with his own family or even work. My plan was to interview officers at the memorial while they were on the job during my lunch break. After getting denied by countless officers at the memorial, I gave up and sent Ricky a message on FaceBook, asking if he had time this week for a couple of questions about his time spent working at the memorial. Since I have known him since I was a child along with his brother, without hesitation, he agreed and invited me to watch our favorite show “The Walking Dead” at his house on Sunday. I arrived at his house and I treated his family to dinner as a way of saying thanks for helping me with my assignment. However, during my interview, I didn’t feel like it was much of a formal interview, instead, I felt like it was more of a friend to friend conversation about his past experiences at a job. (I was literally laying down on his couch, petting his cat while interviewing him questions off my laptop).

For the interview portion of the career paper, I contacted three different attorneys that I know. As I am not quite familiar with any of the three, I sent them formal email requests to interview over the phone or by email. The first of my three prospective interviewees is Garret Murai, the husband of my Girl Scout Troop leader and an experienced construction attorney at Wendel Rosen Black & Dean LLP. The second attorney I chose to contact was my friend’s older sister, Hannah Yang, an attorney at the national law firm Polsinelli. Ms.Yang, who passed her bar exam in 2016, just began working at the firm in November 2016 in the Science and Technology Area. She ultimately declined to participate, but I thanked her for her time anyway.

I choose to use my older sister,Chioma, for this assignment because I felt like she was the perfect candidate to explain what she does. I decided to call my sister and ask if she was available to help on November 1,2017. I said my name and explained why I thought she my best resource.She came up with an idea that we could actually meet up at a private place so that I can be interviewed. We scheduled to meet up on a Sunday because it was basically the only day we were both free. She choose one of the officesses that she worked at earlier in the year; and thought that 2:00 pm was a reasonable time.That following Sunday we meet up and was dressed in formal attire. I wore a tan button down with a blue tie, and accompanied with black slacks. My

Smith-Lewis was scheduled for an interview at 10:00am on May 16, 2017. At approximately 10:45 Smith-Lewis called Birch and stated he was here but was waiting on his attorney to show up. Birch went to the lobby to meet with Smith-Lewis and he stated his attorney could not find a place to park and ended up leaving. Birch advised Smith-Lewis that we could reschedule the interview or conduct the interview as planned. Birch advised Smith-Lewis that

For this journal, I will reflect on the three interviews and highlight the answers from each. Let’s take a look.

The first object Bob Lazier undertook as the new CEO of Lazier Industries, was to implement a strategic plan that focused on introducing several new products which could be cross-sold to LI’s existing customer base. As a strong believer in the company and it’s potential to broaden its offerings Bob was looking to leverage the strong relationships built with its clients to sell additional lines of components. However, since being placed as the new CEO, a lot of organizational

A manager named Michelle called me on the phone late one night and asked if I wanted to join the KBS team. These are the people who hand out food samples and try to convince people to buy Wegman’s products. I said yes. I was not thrilled when she told me I would still hold my cashier position; however, I longed for a break in the monotony.

Spending the last two years working full-time at my father’s hardware store has been a period of major personal growth for me. For the first time, I took on a serious role in the business. I was no longer the boss’ son: I was tasked with trying to turn around a business that had been struggling for quite some time.
