Five years ago, I was working for a pool company while attending graduate school majoring in educational administration. During this time, I met several different people on a day to day basis. One person that stuck out in my mind was Mr. Mark Freeman. I observed him as he would bring his family to the pool throughout the week in the later afternoon’s. He was always professional, kind, and respectful in everything he went about doing. He soon began chatting with me daily and I later found out he was the principal of the El Campo Middle School.

Overall my mock interview went better than I had initially anticipated it would be. The mock interview allowed me to find out about skills I did not know I had as well as skills I need to hone in order to use them to my benefit in interviews in the future. I have had previous experience doing interviews for jobs and scholarships and have even practiced my interviewing skills in high school. I believe it is essential in practicing as much as possible how to do an interview because there will always be a new skill that can be attained and new ways of formalizing an answer to fit the wants of the potential job or opportunity that may arise.

We discussed our school related experiences throughout kindergarten and high school. The main focus of our differences was our race and how our experiences were affected by it.

For my interview reflection paper, I decided to listen to the NPR’s interview with Oliver Sacks, “A Neurologist at the ‘Intersection of Fact and Fable.” Terry Gross had the opportunity to interview him in regard to his book, “Hallucinations,” which elaborates on patients who had hallucinations as a result of numerous different causes, including medications and injuries. Gross also asked him personal questions that pertained to his own experiences with recreational drugs and being a neurologist. Therefore, in this paper, I will be discussing what techniques Gross used and whether or not they were successful in obtaining valuable information from Sacks.

Doing my practicum at the Regina Immigrant Women Centre had given me an opportunity to watch the staff interacting with the clients who came from different cultural backgrounds. It also provided me with an opportunity to develop and enhance my own cultural sensitivity when dealing with people that came from different cultural backgrounds. I also gained the opportunity to put into effect some of the theoretical skills such as acceptance of cultural differences between people, empathy, warmth, and a capacity to respond flexibly to a range of possible situations regarding settlement needs. I learned to be very respectful of each person’s culture because of the examples that were set by the RIWC staff and also was able to connect it to JS 460.
