Example Of A Informal Interview

I conducted my informational interview on September 20, 2017 with an Ohio University graduate, Christopher Nason. Mr. Nason graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. He currently is a member of a reverse engineering team at the Defense Logistics Agency which is part of the Federal Government Department of Defense. The company provides replacement parts and equipment for the United States’ Armed Forces. Chris’s job involves analyzing designs or schematics of older parts still used by the military. Since this piece may no longer be manufactured commercially, Chris’s team analyzes the data in order to identify the items so that they can be reproduced internally. His position involve a lot of research and project management.

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.

The subject of my interview was Juan Chavay. He was born and raised in small village close to the mountains. The actual name was not mentioned by Juan, but he emphasized on a small, remote village. He came to America in 2009 and has been here since. He is currently trying to achieve citizenship, but is encountering problems with actually achieving it. He has since been here on a work visa, which allows him to stay in the US for an extended period of time. He says he will continue the work he is doing in Mississippi.

Through interviewing my roommate Linda Wang, I have gotten the opportunity of hearing a first-hand account of what it is like being a young immigrant living in the United States. At the age of eight, Linda, along with her father, mother, and aunt, emigrated to America. Linda’s family currently resides in Bayside, Queens and she is a student-athlete on the St. John’s women’s golf team. Linda was kind enough to share her immigration story with me so that I may use it as a manifestation of what life as an immigrant, and the immigration process itself, entails.

As my cultural other, I interviewed EMG, she is 26 years old and the au pair for my nephew and niece. She lives in their home since she moved from her hometown Cartagena in southeast Spain. She will be leaving this May to return to Spain, for her sister’s high school graduation, after about 18 months with the family. In the time she has been here, I have seen and interacted with her at family gatherings, usually holidays and birthdays. I have not personally created a bond or relationship with EMG, but I think she is a sweet girl. EMG has become friends with my daughter; they have gone to New York City for New Year’s Eve and Pennsylvania for a Taylor Swift concert.

I had the pleasure of interviewing one of our church parisinors, Ms. Maria. Ms. Maria is 75 years old Hispanic woman who has been a widow for the past three years.

Her wages were low and her pension that she currently receives is not enough to meet her monthly needs.

In order to obtain a more rounded response, I interviewed my 16-year-old daughter Sarah, and a long-time friend Stephanie, who is 45 years old. The different perspective of the two interviews was impressive.

“Congratulation, Shanice on your internship offer”. Seeing that email set forth a wave of emotions; excitement, pride, and satisfaction all came at once and then anxiety set in for I had no idea of what it is like to work in a corporate office. For then I reached for my copy of “They Don’t Teach Corporate in College” by Alexandria Levit. In “They Don’t Teach Corporate in College, Levit provides a guidebook for young professional who are just joining the corporate world or who wants to move ahead in their professional careers. While reading this book, I had found myself in the same position as the author when she was entering into the corporate world, a young professional who carries her parents’ hopes of being the first one in the family to triumph in the business world. Thus, I could genuinely relate to the author. The reading provoked self-reflection and opened up a discussion with myself about my professional persona, being an overachiever, and being a modest person to which I had to connect with myself to align my attributes towards my professional career goals.

As an Accounting major, I am very interested and have become fond of learning about the varying business aspects within the sports industry.

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.
