Interview On The Interview, Conducted On Multiple Settings And At Different Times

Recent advancements in technology offer the organizations of today and the future boundless opportunities for improvements in service delivery. Although experts agree that the alignment of technology and the overall business strategy is both necessary and imperative, no clear path to optimum alignment exists. Christopher Nuckles, a IT Director I interviewed demonstrated full awareness of this fact. he and the company’s CIO, Matt Carey, and the executive IT leaders and displayed optimism the “interconnected retail strategy” they have for the company will ensure that Home Depot remains the product authority for home improvement. 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. He explains that plans are underway to optimize the Home Depot mobile application entirely and make it available on all platforms so that the company remains relevant as technology keeps advancing.

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.

The person whom I've decided to interview for this interview project is Julie. I have known her and her family for the majority of my life. So, I thought that she would be an excellent candidate for the project. Already being very comfortable with one another we could have a good informal interview after dinner one night, which is just what we did. She was born and raised here in Greeley, Colorado, in the United States; she is of mixed racial, ancestry, Mexican American and Caucasian, she is currently thirty-one year's old. The oldest of four daughters, and has been married to her husband for ten year's now, he is of Caucasian ancestry, they have no children themselves. Last year she was finally promoted to the general manager of a different

Nick: “A man named John Hinckley shot Reagan. He was off of his rocker and had an obsession with Jodie Foster who was close with Reagan. The shooting crippled one of the associates that was with him at the time. Reagan did not even realize he had been shot. After this shooting gun laws named after his associate, it is called the Brady Law.”

Overall, the interview was accomplished with few complications. There was definitely areas of the interview that need attending to, and there were areas in which I excelled. The dyadic interview started with an opening statement. I attempted to make Person A feel comfortable by asking a simple question of “How are you today?” I believe I made Person A feel as comfortable as possible in front of a camera and build a rapport. I could have asked one or two more easy questions to lighten the mood. I was nervous being in front of a camera especially for an assignment worth a large portion of my grade. When I’m nervous I sometimes bite my lip and unfortunately throughout the interview I chewed my lip. This could have made Person A feel awkward if she took it in uncomfortable way. The listening aspect of the interview I believe I did very well in. I gave attention to what Person A was saying and tried to ask questions that allowed her to elaborate, although there were a few instances that I missed the opportunity. I also tried to write some notes down

The last person I interviewed was Lara who is from Kopavogur, Iceland. The first thing I wanted to know about Iceland was how people compared socially to people in the U.S.. She told me that socially it is very different. People are very pleasant especially strangers you see around town, but when you go shopping someone holding the door for you is not something that is common like in America. It is not that people are rude, just that strangers here aren’t as willing to speak to those whom they don’t know. The next thing we talked about was the food in Iceland and how different it is from American food. She stated, “Everything in Iceland does not have to be transported such long distances, so our food is more fresh because we don’t have to add as many preservatives. The food is of higher quality than in America because of how pure the ingredients are. We also don’t have as many fast food restaurants because of how unhealthy they are, and because the price is just the same as preparing your own food. We also don’t have food places that serve breakfast because it is more common to cook your own.”. The final question that I asked everyone else I interviewed I asked Lara. “What did you think America was going to be like before you came here?”. She replied with that she had already been to the northern part of America such as Boston which

I choose an interview that discussed the up rise issue of police brutality, the interviewee former Baltimore Police officer Michael A. Wood Jr. spoke on addressing police misconduct and the importance of explaining to African American children the danger of simply being black. He expressed it as “parents are having to explain to their child that as a child you come with a different set of terms and conditions other than your non-black counterparts and if you violate those terms of conditions that can literally mean life or death as in the case of Tamir Rice”. He continues to express the strain black parents, especially of black sons, face having to protect their child from a country that is out to get him, “a country

On October 26, 2016 an interview was conducted with Mr. Johnathan Bracey. During the interview session, Mr. Bracey was able to clearly state basic information about himself. Basic information such as date of birth, age, gender, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, relationship status, primary language, socioeconomic status, and religion were given. When asked his date of birth Mr. Bracey stated, “I was born on the fifth of August during the year 1991, so I am currently twenty-five years old.” Mr. Bracey was then asked how he identifies and he responded he is an African American heterosexual male as evidence by the client stating “I’m attracted to girls and girls only, so I classify myself as heterosexual.” The client reported his relationship by saying, “I like girls, but unfortunately I am not in a relationship at the moment, nor have I ever been married, so you can say I’m single.” Johnathan was asked his primary language and was able to confirm English was his primary language by stating, “I only speak English, I learned Spanish in high school, but I don’t remember it very well.” Mr. Bracey was then asked about his socioeconomic status; claiming he is a part of the middle-class. Finally, he summarized his religious preference by stating, “I’m not really religious. I know about God, but I wouldn’t say I am a person who goes to church all the time.” Based on this statement, the social worker would conclude the client is a non-denominational Christian.

The meeting took place September 29th in his class room early in the morning around 9 am. We both felt great about the interview it was long anticipated, he told me this was his 10th interview this week. I wasn’t nervous about the interview

People when they are looking for a job. Of course, they are willing to perform well. No one is willing to just come to work to waste time. Every employees’ goal is to show the best of what they have. As result, when employees perform poorly, managers should investigate the root of the problem. In case I face such of this problem. I will try to compare my workers’ current performance to their previous performance, at least for the last six month, then I will start to watch them closely on how they deal with all of their coworkers inside of the department they work at. After that, I will watch them closely, but not directly. I am not going to stay behind of their shoulders. There is no place for coincidences when employees are performing poorly.

Essentially, there are two types of structured interviews, which are called situational and experience based (also called behavioral) (Ellis, 2016). Situational interviews consist of questions asked to respond to a specific situation one might face in the workplace environment (Ellis, 2016). These types of questions or scenarios are designed to reveal the candidate’s analytical and problem-solving skill sets, as well as how they would handle an unexpected situation. Experience-based interviews evaluate past behaviors that are associated to the prospective job (Ellis, 2016). Theoretically, the use of experience-based interviews is the same as that of biodata, which reflects past behavior as a good predictor of future behavior. Thus, presumes

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.

Finally, future research should compare behavioral and situational interviews for assessing personality. There are reasons why these two interview formats may be differentially effective for assessing personality. For example, behavioral interviews should be effective for evaluating personality because traits influence behavior. It is also likely that personality influences intentions, and thus situational interviews could be useful for measuring personality.

The subject displayed great dichotomy between the presenting-self and the perceived self. Outwardly the subject’s identity persona is bright, outgoing, articulate and friendly. Inwardly the subject is wracked with self-doubt, insecurity and feelings of inadequacy. The subject has no small amount of shame regarding his sexuality (homosexual) and goes to great lengths to keep this part of his identity concealed. Considering he has been in a long term relationship, this is an

  This interview was conducted over the phone because he and I live in two different countries. In short, it was a very good opportunity to talk with him and get to know many things from
