Interview Analysis

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.

She begins her speech by saying, “ I would never have asked to be HIV positive, but I believe that in all things there is a purpose; and I stand before you and the nation gladly” (Fisher 1), letting the audience know that she is using her experiences as a sufferer of AIDS to come forwards and speak plainly on the truth of the disease; she took her infection not as a setback, but as motivation to come forward and give a silenced community a voice. She even says that her contraction of AIDS came with more than just a lifetime of struggles; underlying the medical problems lays a “purpose” (Fisher 1)—one which Fisher believes to be activism against the continuation of the spread of AIDS, giving her the identity of a “messenger” (Fisher 3), and, in extension, credibility. Fisher needed this credibility, as her criticism was a “sharp rebuke of her party’s negligence” in the face of the suffering of a group they did not care for, and they may not have listened if they thought she spoke lightly or without reason (Shaw 1). Fisher also challenges the belief that the grief HIV and AIDS leave in their wake generally lies outside the realm of the worries of those who are part of the majority groups largely unaffected by the disease. She tells the Convention that, though they may never have expected to see a heterosexual, married woman speak freely of her diagnosis with

For my In-Depth Interview paper, I chose to Interview my co-worker Senada Cufurovic whom I work with at Bank of the West. Senada finds herself culturally diverse as being from another country and culture. As long as I have known Senada from working with her for the past two years, I have never been able to get to know her background from where she came from until this opportunity to interview her came up.

In August 19th, 1992 Mary Fisher Delivered “A whisper of Aids” at the Republican National Convention in Houston, TX. Mary Fisher was born in April 6th, 1948 in Louisville Kentucky. She was married in 1977 but the marriage didn't last long. Then she got married to Brian Campbell and they had one son then adopted another. After Brian requested a divorce he told Mary she was HIV positive and later on she found out she got it from him. Mary was an Artist, Author, and an Aids Activist.She created a support group for families affected by AIDS, and health care workers called “Mary Fisher CARE Fund”. The fact that Mary is HIV positive affects the speech in a huge way. People felt for her and she felt for everyone that was HIV positive or had AIDS.

I worked directly with the HIV/AIDS population as well as individuals whose behaviors place them at high risk for becoming infected. I am currently the Supervisor for the AIDS Institute Linkage and Navigation Program where I am responsible for overseeing the delivery of services. These services encompass but are not limited to entitlements, referral to agencies that assist with identifying appropriate housing, referral to medical, mental health and substance use services. I also, oversee treatment adherence services which support clients in their readiness to begin (ARV) antiretroviral therapy and maintain adherence to their prescribed medication for treatment for HIV/AIDS.

I want to thank you again for speaking with me! Talking with you helped me during my HireVue interview and helped me understand the company's culture. On another note, I am visiting Goldman's office later today with the Olin Finance Trek. If you have any free time, it would be great to speak with you.

Read the intake interview below. Then discuss what may be unclear to the client and suggest an alternative statement that presents the information more clearly for the client. Utilize the information you have read for this week.

Being able to pick the right family was more difficult to do than I had originally thought it would be. I reflected on the readings from Leigh and one important thing that is said reminded me that during the interview, I needed to make sure that I was going to be able to not only understand what they are saying, but really hear their points of view without losing a sense of who I am as well as the beliefs that I have. In being able to hear and understand what is being said, I also needed to make sure that I was not passing judgement or categorizing them while they spoke. (Leigh, chapter 3, pgs 17-18). I feel that emotions can be raw without even starting the interview. I had no idea what their situation consists of, what some hidden struggles were, and to be

The data that should be in an assessment should include the client’s name marriage status, religious preference, any metal illness reports. In the addition to, any previous documentation from agencies or another doctor that the client once was seen beforehand. As well as, any social history that can be provided by the client’s school, previous social groups or treatment groups with written permission from the client (Dillon, 2010, pp. 208-210).Furthermore, I would like to see the family background information also as this could be very useful into why the client has issues that may be extended from the family history.

A lot has changed since our parents were our age. This assignment did show me that even though times have changed significantly there will always be some constants in college no matter the decade. For my assignment I interviewed my mom Sue Kluzek. She went to Northern Illinois University in 1986. She was coming in as a junior after attending junior college prior. Since she was a junior she didn’t have to live in the residence hall so she got an apartment she knew that already went there. Since there wasn’t much around northern when she attended she ate dinning hall food a lot of the time. When I asked her how it was she said it’s the one thing she’ll never miss about college. My mom said she loved northern because she got to be on her own. Now since my mom came in as a junior she had already decided on what she wanted to do the rest of her life. She was majoring in special education elementary. She originally was going to major in business but when she did a summer job helping out children with learning disabilities she knew that was the career for her.

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. While watching this interview, I made some notes on attitudes and characteristics that I considered important for good interviewing. The characteristics will be presented in the following paragraphs.
