Conversation About Interview

My interviewee is Mrs. Janice Washington , she works full time. She is an English professor at Holy Cross private school. She lives in a nuclear family with a husband and two children both are girls. Her daughters are in elementary school, so they need more attention from the parents. Her husband is a nurse at the Adventist hospital, and he usually works night shifts. She describes her workplace as family friendly because her colleague replaces her when she has to leave in the middle of the day, and if she has family emergency. I call my boss telling him that I cannot show up, he never complains. More than that sometimes she takes her children to go see plays in school and also she takes them to school on taking your child to work day. At work, she has a close relationship with other staff members.

The second interview for me, was a start to a new beginning. During the first interview, I was not adequately prepared. I was anxious, nervous, fidgety. My mannerisms did not display a comfortable and confident clinician. However, my performance and display in the second interview as a step in the right direction.

When Thom asks if I’d like some breakfast, his words startle. I turn, and answer, “I love you. And I don’t want to break up

I was able to seek out and an experienced Pastor by the name of Bernadine Smith, the Pastor of Kingdom Ministries here in Dayton, Ohio. I must insert she is my Aunt and although I do not attend her ministry currently, has a child and now an adult, she plays a critical role as a spiritual mentor and confidant and extends to me wise and Godly counsel with respect to my school work and life affairs. She has been and continues to be a wealth of knowledge and support with my coursework. Encouraging me as well as providing me with "go to" reference materials as I request them.

Hello… If you are reading this than well, well I’m probably long gone by now. Know I never wanted it to come to this. If anything I owed you at the very least a proper goodbye and given you an explanation as to why I had to leave. But, I thought this would be best given that the reason I had to leave wouldn’t have left me with enough time do so anyhow. I wish I could tell you more, but I guess it’s just as they say, “It’s complicated”. You deserve more than an excuse and I want nothing more than to be able to tell you the truth… It doesn't seem like that’s gonna happen though, “huh…” I hope you’re not mad at me for leaving you like this. I never wanted to especially like this if there was any other way than I would have done things

After four interviews, one being over the phone for 30 minutes, the other three in person, the first interview being a pleasant conversation about my skills and background and the other two about my current job and their personal company experience. I left the office exhausted from being asked the same questions. I am not sure if I will ever put myself in such exhausting interview procedures.

The language of music transcends cultural and physical boundaries. It conveys messages between the composer and the listener in ways that no other mode of communication. Artists would compose songs of romance to induce a feeling of romance into the listener. In contrast, artists would also compose songs of anger to induce a feeling of anger into the listener. These emotions were simple to provoke due to a special quality of music that distinguishes it from other forms of communication. With music’s tremendous success in conveying emotions with love songs and angry songs, other uses for music were explored.

Before me interview I was excited and a bit nervous. When I walked into that room and all the patients were sitting ready for us it was a bit overwhelming. It felt like we jumped right in. However during the interviews I was able to relax a bit more and focus on the patient. I also felt like it flew by. Before I knew it time was up. As I went out onto the lawn to discuss I started thinking of question I still walked to ask. I didn’t want it to be over. I was also amazed by the impacted that Therapy has had on these patients. I was talking to Kylie, my partner, about how fascination the conditions the patients had were. They share about medical conditions I’ve never heard about before. After we recapped and hear the CEO talk I realized

Interviews are the first impression a potential employer or college department will have of a person. First impressions are lasting impressions. Using that time to highlight your skills and attributes are great tools to increase your chances of being selected to fulfill the position you applied for. Developing a persona that entice the person conducting the interview will create more opportunities to sell yourself. While being interviewed for this assignment, I was able to grasp some great tips that will transcend throughout my professional life. From this experience evaluating my strengths and weaknesses I will be better equipped to transition into my senior year of college, graduate school, and the field of social work.

Up and coming talent is something I relish featuring in my interviews, and so when Corey Woods was brought to my attention through her fantastic agent, I immediately jumped on board and agreed to interview her. After all, she has a supporting lead in Hallmark's Love On the Slopes, the first of the Winterfest premieres happening today (January 6th)! It was a delight and an honor to discuss Corey's career with her as well as a bit about her passion and drive.

I arranged the interview in a quiet location at the far right corner of a coffee shop. I made it a point to share the area with no one except my interviewee. It was nothing too formal, just a casual time to talk about some life experiences in a cozy place. Tables along aisles will get a lot of disturbance that might harm the real purpose of the meeting. This is the main reason why I have chosen the far right corner of the coffee shop to do away with practical noise factors and with the inclusion of inconvenient seating arrangement. I made it a point to arrive on time and see to it that everything was in order. Having noted all concerns regarding the conduct of the interview, I was saved from unwanted constraints that could have possible negative effects in the process. My preparation was rewarded as basic concerns turned out to be on my side. This has become the fruit of the preparation I made and I was able to get sufficient information needed to push through with the course activity.

There was dead silence on the other end for close to half a minute. “Wow. That is not what I expected to hear. I must be a complete fool, because I thought you were really into it. And into me.”

It is a nice day in the late afternoon. I sit with my uncle in the dining room. The warm, soothing lights hang above us in the wooden chairs. He sits ready and prepared for the interview. Chad Krumbach grew up in Osceola, Nebraska, a small, quiet town west of Lincoln. He went to the Osceola High school and was the punter for their football team. He then graduated and chose to go to UNL, where he majored in biology and nutrition. He then stayed in Nebraska until he moved to Arizona in 2000, He is now an accountant who works at home. He lives with his wife and two daughters.

I never imagined I would get to know more people just by a simple interview. However, Mr. Barbour seems to knew all too well that we all would get to know each other. It was another day in Mr. Barbour class, as I walked in and sat down. I thought it would’ve been another day of reading worksheets, however, something was planned for all of us. It was a classmate interview. I didn’t mind the interview for it is just writing and asking questions, but when he said we had to present it, my whole feeling of the interview changed. I was never a big fan of presenting in front of the class but I had to suck it up if I wanted to pass the class. I explored the class pursuing my partner who I can’t seem to find until he finds me. I listened to the instruction for the classmate interview, however, my mind was still glued to the thought of presenting. When we were finally told to start, I asked him the 7 questions I picked from the board. Each one was like a short story that I enjoyed reading and listening to when I was young. I laughed a few times at the embarrassing story’s he told me about. It was finally my turn, and I was uneasy for a few minutes. I’m very broad at first and tried to make my answer short as possible. It was natural though for me to say so little.

For the three interviews, I went to a coffeeshop, an apartment, and an office. I decided on going to a coffee shop for the first interview because it was a public place and to be honest, I really wanted coffee that morning. It was a great place to feel relaxed and at home with the interview which I believe translated into a better interview. I felt a lot more comfortable asking different questions and the interviewee felt more comfortable with sharing information that might be considered more personal. The only compliant I would have with the coffee shop was the audio recording quality since it was a little noisy. The second location was the apartment of the lawyer. It was one of the first times I met him so I was a little worried at first going into his home alone but he had a nice dog and was super friendly. The home-like atmosphere made it a lot more comfortable on both ends to talk and share information that might otherwise been held back. The audio quality was great considering it was a lot more quiet of a place. You can really hear the difference in the quality. The final interview was in a law office close to campus. I loved how close to campus it was which made it easy to commute to. Doing interviews in the office made it seem a lot more professional. While the interviewee was very comfortable in the office, I was not. He was sitting behind a giant wooden desk which made things seem like he was in charge even though he was the interviewee. It made things
