As part of the technical team that developed, enhanced, or supported several of the technological systems at Home Depot, Nuckles believes that the key to a successful technological future is innovation. Nuckles recognizes that the biggest hurdle for the Home Depot technology is the emerging e-commerce and he adds that Home Depot is ready for the boom.

For the interview section of the group project, I decided to interview a twenty-five year old woman who resides in the San Francisco bay area in California. Choosing to have her personal identity remain anonymous, the interviewee has granted us permission to refer to her as the alias Mary. Mary is currently married to a thirty year old man and has one nine year old son. Surprisingly, Mary did not contract the disease by having heterosexual intercourse with her partner like so many other women have gotten HIV. She had obtained the disease through intravenous means. Mary’s husband and son are not HIV positive. Mary has been

In the initial stage of the interview, it is important to listen and not evaluate or pass judgment. Skipping over seemingly routine questions may cause you to miss a point that may later prove to be helpful. Also, you may pass premature judgment as to the cause and guide the witness in the wrong direction. If you can anticipate the witnesses’ next point you can often phrase a question to guide them in a certain direction, or to bring out information previously not given. This skill takes a lot of forethought on the part of the interviewer.

When it comes to landing jobs, effective resume writing is not the only skill you need to possess. Even if you managed to impress the employer and got selected for an interview, you must surpass that stage before you can officially be an employee of that company. Precisely for this reason, you need to know certain very effective interview techniques. Since most jobs require communication with customers and colleagues on a daily basis, employers often look for effective communication skills instead of just impressive educational qualifications.

The listener has to show that they are following the speaker by sending out non-verbal signals (Canadian Association of Student Activity Advisers, n.d.). Throughout each listening session I gave short comforting smiles, and nodded occasionally to reassure the listener that they had my attention. The various facial expressions that were usually in line with what the speaker was saying were clear indicators of attention in both listening sessions. In the second listening video my facial expression was not always corresponding to what the speaker was saying. This was also pointed out by the Observer, who stated that I did not respond in an enthusiastic manner to the speaker’s enthusiastic speech (Ross &Short, 2011). I provided good Soler contact in both sessions, my proximity to the speaker was upright and I was sitting at a comfortable angle and distance to the speaker, at all moments. My posture was open, relaxed and inviting. As meaning cannot always be conveyed effectively, the listener must participate actively in the cycle of communication (Canadian Association of Student Activity Advisers, n.d.). In either session, I tried to offer short, reassuring verbal comments to encourage the speakers in their speech process. During the first listening session, I did not need to provide many encouraging, verbal comments as the speaker had a very good speech flow. Before I made a comment, I waited for the speaker to finish talking in order

Tim’s confidence is very low and he feels that he needs to keep his awful secret about his past from

The smell of human excreta filled the room and sitting on the floor in front of me was an adult woman with playing with dolls and stuffed animals. I soon realized she was the origin of the odor as feces were smeared down the inside of her thighs. This was the first time I laid eyes on my client who for the purposes of this statement I will referee to as Anna. Although, I was slightly intimidated by her appearance, I approached her and introduced myself. I helped Anna to her feet and began her morning routine. I bathed her, dressed her and brushed her teeth and fed her breakfast. I dropped her off at an adult day care. I thought about Anna all day. I thought how difficult it must be for her parents to take care of her and how embarrassed
