Interpreting Interview Process

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.

In the roughly eleven-minute interview with my client, Alex, we discussed her need for case management services. She established her concerns that she wanted to address with me, as well as her current status in education, living arrangements, social supports, along with her history in the same areas. We also began to discuss (informally) the goals that she intends to reach with help of my services and other services she may be referred to. During the process, I learned about Alex’s strength and resilience. I also learned a lot about myself as an interviewer.

Every time I turn on the television these days, I hear about the migrant crisis and the border security issues and I revert back to the time when I crossed the Canadian border. Being born as a Tibetan refugee, I have always felt like a nomad with no distinctive place to call it my own. I was fourteen years old when my family decided to immigrate to Canada and begin a new life. At that time, Canada was our hope for the gleaming future, our independence, and our new home. The emotional and mental ordeal that I faced during my migration has made me the strong and independent woman who I am today.

Out of the three interview options I decided to do a selection interview. I chose to do a selection interview because it was the interview I was most comfortable doing and the type of interview I have been most exposed to in my life. My selection interview was a role play medical school admissions interview. I chose to do this type of interview because it was the most pertinent to my life because I will be doing these types of interviews next year (however, then I will be the interviewee). It was also fun for me to be the interviewer for this type of interview. I decided to do this interview with my friend Payge. I chose Payge because she also is a premedical student and I knew she could benefit from this interview as well. By practicing a

The interview process is really a two way street. Candidates are given the opportunity to show what makes them the best fit for a job and in turn, the interview committee has the opportunity to show the candidate that their school is not just a place for them to have a job, but it is a place where they can start their career and make a name for themselves in the educational world. Over the years Round Lake Middle School has made changes to the process they use to interview and select candidates. The goal of the interview process is to find the best fit candidate, one in which the interview committee feels has the desire and ability to be an influential part of the RMLS staff for many years.

In addition, the provider may consider the mental status exam, immigration history, as well as immigration acculturation.

I decided to interview our Costa Rican tour guide Victor. Some of the undergraduate students and I got an opportunity to talk to Victor about some of his travels and his life. The following interview questions focus on Victor’s life, his family, and his beliefs.

This week I interviewed Maliyah Nichols, who is currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. She is still taking prerequisites for her major and attends a community college in the south suburbs of Chicago. Maliyah chose this degree because speech and language pathologists make a decent amount of income and she wants to help children who have speech impediments, learn to articulate and communicate effectively. A challenge she faced in this program was in one of courses. She explained to me that it wasn’t necessarily the material covered in class but rather how it was presented. Furthermore, she felt her teacher graded unfairly and his teaching methods didn’t suit her idea of learning. She explained that she uses critical thinking at both her job and school. She works as part of the kitchen staff at an elementary school and she uses critical thinking to plan meals accordingly so that there is enough food to distribute to every child. At school, an example of Maliyah utilizing her critical thinking skills is in the course statistics. She explained it takes a lot of thinking and evaluating

Mrs. Griffins made several comments during her interview that relates to our readings and class discussions. Her statement about respecting students’ culture and protecting their national identities immediately reminded me of Cary’s question—“How do I find useful information on a student’s cultural background?” According to Cary’s text, a teacher can pursue a child’s outside story for three reasons: respect, curiosity, and instruction. Mrs. Griffins models all three reasons.

According to standard four of the Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (2015), an administrator is supposed to develop, support, and uphold rigorous curriculum and instructional practices for all students. This entails selecting and providing the curriculum for teachers to use as a supplement to provide rigorous instruction. It also includes school leaders ensuring that the curriculum is being utilized to achieve the greatest success for all students and supporting all teachers in their deficit areas.

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.

A Informal interview is a meeting that takes place between the interviewer and the interviewee without structured questions designed the same as other candidates. This type of interview allows for the candidate to talk more about their personal life and provide information that was not received in the formal interview. Southwood conducts the informal interview by having the candidates speak with the principal and administrator.
