In preparation for any interview, researchers should be organized and have an idea of how they would like the interview to be structured. Researchers should also be flexible and be aware that interviews may not go as planned. McCurdy, Spradley and Shandy (2005) suggests that researchers to find a quiet place to meet with informants that are free from distractions (p. 34). They advise researchers to anticipate the surroundings and how it will affect the informant 's comfort level and performance (p. 34). My observation will taking place at Glitz and Glam Hair Studios. Because it is a bustling hair salon one of the owners suggested I come on a day where they weren 't as busy. I believe it may be difficult to find a quiet place but, I am sure I will be able to have opportunities to speak to them alone. When getting permission to conduct my interviews, I explained in detail, to the owners who are also my informants, why they were chosen and what I was looking to accomplish. I think it is wise, as McCurdy et. al. (2005) urges researchers to explain again. It important for the informants to know the researcher is trying to learn their culture (p. 34). I believe it 's beneficial to both the researcher and the informant to have that face-to-face interaction while giving an explanation purpose. Descriptive questions are a very effective way of extracting information from interviewees. It was in this course I learned these types of questions had a name. McCurdy et. al. (2005)

The media clip of the journalist Michael Parkinson interviewing the actress Meg Ryan is a clear demonstration of a variety of communication strategies being employed by parties who are not familiar with one another. In many ways, this mimics the therapeutic conversations that occur between health professionals and patients when they begin working with one another. In these situations, the interviewer must use a range of questioning techniques to encourage the interviewee to provide information. For this to be successful, the participants in the conversation must usually feel comfortable and at ease.
The entrepreneur I interviewed was, Dehra Battle. She is the owner and stylist at Hair Savvy Hair and Nail Salon. The salon opened up on the Spring of 2010. I have known Dehra for the past 10 years. She has been my personal hair stylist for the last 10 years. Being a close family friend, I have witnessed her trials and tribulations with being an entrepreneur. I choose Dehra, because she is a wonderful and hard working woman; she has a passion for helping others with self esteem by creating signature styles that will give any woman the confidence. Dehra was not satisfied with working under a salon owner who was not concerned about the workers safety and customer satisfaction. She wanted to be in control and create an environment that customers would love to attend regularly.

I interviewed Tracy, who is a registered nurse with Shands Homecare, before working there she worked at North Florida Hospital. She has been a nurse for about ten years. Along with the above questions I asked Tracy a few of my own, one of the questions I asked was if there was a significant experience dealing with death in her profession that impacted her more than others, and there was. She mentioned that she went to a patient's home one day, who had been her patient for quite some time, and she found them deceased. She said that part if that experience that really impacted her was that at the time she found the patient, the patient's son was getting home from school. Tracy said that is was a very tragic experience for her. I also asked Tracy
People spend a significant part of their lives listening and talking, that is the main reason why conversation is regarded to be the most generalised form of talk that concerns both speakers and listeners and it is contemplated to be the essential ingredient in co-operative undertaking (Wardhaugh, 1985). Conversation is informal talk involving two or more people and interviews are a particular type of conversation. Interviews are regarded as meetings at which a journalist asks questions in order to find out the interviewee’s opinion. This is an assignment that analyses a telephone interview, so there is an absence of eye contact, body language or facial expressions that are attributes of a ‘live’
I spoke with Leandra Waldo who is the Director of Client Services in Champlain’s marketing department. She started by describing the specific marketing efforts that Champlain has geared towards high schoolers in each grade. Champlain begins by buying tens of thousands of names from the college board. When they go to buy names, they look for students who have expressed interest in specific majors as well as students within certain demographics (including home state, income, and the types of colleges their parents attended) as well as geographic. When Champlain makes the initial contact with students, the material they send out is more general and does not speak to specific majors but rather general areas of study such

Questioning is the act of forming an inquiry and interpersonal communication to gain information which assist in making decisions. There are two common types of questions that are mostly used in an interviewing scenario, that is; closed and open questions. Closed questions are restrictive and require short answers .For instance, “Yes/ No “answers. The amount of information gained is limited while, open questions begin with “What, Why/ who?”They allow patients the freedom to talk about what they wish and invite an argument, long answers are required for these types of questions. (Stein-Parbury, 2009).
By doing this they interview them to get a better understanding the behavior the people and the community. “In a sense, then, researchers must learn to see th world as the group sees it in order to fully comphrehend the events talking lace around them”(Richard T Schaefer 34). This gives you the chance to get to learn new things and gives you the opportunity to tell others on your findings. It connects to when you go on trip somewhere you have not been yet and you are there you observe the behavior of the people that live their and community they live
Interviews are often conducted in because we are interested in gathering information/ perspectives on people’s lives. According to Hoodnaard (2015), an in-depth interview’s main purpose is to provide the opportunity for people to “explain their experiences, attitudes, feelings, and definitions of the situation in their own terms and in ways that are meaningful to them” (p. 102). Conducting an in-depth interview involves employing the following three process: 1) easing a sense of control, 2) being open, and 3) having the interviewee guide the direction that the interview will take. In the interview that I conducted on my friend Tijuana Turner, I took an active approach, which allowed me to pay close attention to how our interaction played out.
[When two or more people interact, there are two aspects of situations that may be involved. Some aspects of a situation are familiar to the participants, so that they know how to behave and do so habitually without giving it much thought, such as knowing that it is a college admission interview. Other aspects however may not be clear to participants and therefore problematic, such as the student wondering what will best impress the interviewer, and the interviewer wondering what to make of the student's statements and appearance. Participants must actively seek clues from each other and their surroundings to come to a mutually agreed upon definition of the situation, in
