Interview Summary – Tessy Hunt. This Interview Process

I interviewed Ashley Porras, a Licensed Vocational Nurse at Sharp Rees Stealy. She gave me background information of how she got into the healthcare system, great advice and what she does on a daily basis. The reason I chose Ashley as the person to interview was because I got the chance to spend the day with her at work and I loved it. I found it interesting what she did and got the opportunity to learn more about her, her occupation and where she see’s herself in the future. Someday, I would be an LVN and gradually get higher in the healthcare field like she is doing now.

I interviewed Durward “Durk” Lynch he is in my field of interest where I want to work as one day. He is a Nurse Practitioner at the Vanden Bosh Clinic and at the College Clinic. He gave information on his background and what drove him to be a Nurse Practitioner (NP). He really has had a lot of experience, as I will explain to you what he has shared.

In addition to working as a Residential Direct Support Professional, I am a senior at Queens College, majoring in Psychology. Currently exploring new opportunities, my objective is to further my career in an organization that offers the opportunity to assist those with developmental disadvantages. My desire is to bring about a difference in someone’s life, to aid and support them in their decision-making and daily life skills, and to facilitate changes in the community on their behalf so they can live meaningful lives.

Having the opportunity to interview Mary Kate, Doug Davis, and students in the class have helped me become more comfortable with interviewing while also teaching me what successfully works during an interview and what doesn’t. One thing that I have learned that works for me while interviewing would be asking questions about personal experiences

Throughout the history of the world, people with mental disabilities have been wrongly punished for their behavior. Unfortunately, this continues even today. Lennie Small in John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men along with Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quixote from The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha are both examples of this unjust treatment. Don Quixote sees himself as a gallant knight in a world where knight-errantry has become extinct. On the other hand, Lennie is a child in an adult’s world. Due to not seeing the world as it is “supposed” to be, both are punished by the people for their misguided actions.

Interviewing someone who does not hold a Christian worldview was very interesting. This interviewee is not only a self-proclaimed atheist, but holds a hostile opinion of Christians in general. This interview was an opportunity to understand her position and potentially flush out (in an unassuming way) some flaws in her belief system.

The person I decided to interview is a Child and Family Specialist who's been working for EYS for 8 months now. I will not identify this employee, but I will give him a pseudo-name to protect his identity. Chris wright graduated with his BA in Social Work from Humboldt State University. He’s been working in the Social Work field for approximately 3 years doing a variety of work with children in Humboldt County. One of his proud jobs was working in the Juvenile hall which is how he heard about the EYS position. His duty as a Child and Family Specialist, is to build positive relationships with his clients and help them achieve goals set forth by counselors, family or schools. A large portion of his job entails Chris Wright to drive youth to and from appointments, jobs, meetings or simply spending time with the

Arin Adkins is the director of Mississippi Children’s Home Services or Canopy. I choose to interview her, one because she is my mom and easy to interview. Two, she is a high level manager, she will never admit it but she basically is directly beneath the corporate bosses. I thought it would be good to interview her because of her high position and extensive knowledge. I also really liked the idea of interviewing someone who works for a non-profit organization. We study very typical organizations and companies in class that deal with business in a more or less similar way. I thought it would be interesting to look at an organization that does not make money like normal organizations do and have to conduct strategies in a different manner.

For this paper, I have chosen to interview Veda Dyne. I chose to interview her because I have heard about her story from my friends and I wanted to get to know her a little better. Veda just recently openly joined the LBGT+ community. She is different from me because of her sexual orientation, but also her family life. She grew up in a completely different setting than I did, and I found that very interesting. Not only that, she has overcome some very tough situations throughout her life that most 19 year olds have never had to go through. She is a very strong person, and I’m proud to say I got to find out her whole life story.

My interview went surprisingly well, considering I went into the interview with a bias opinion, and ready to point blame. Due to my previous experience with the foster care system, I figured

My first informational interview was with Mr. Karren, I call him this because he was a teacher for me in high school. He taught the law and leadership development institute program I was a part of as a law student at University of Toledo. As soon as I arrived in D.C. I contacted him and asked if he had time to catch up. He had always been a mentor for me and was always willing to write recommendation letters to employers and scholarship committees. We met at Ted’s Bulletin and began to catch up. He was the first of many people to tell me not to go to law school. I told him how nervous I was to be in D.C. The greatest advice he gave me was to just soak everything up. He told me D.C. was unlike any other city and you meet people here and have

I would interview is my Grandfather in behalf of his years of service in the military, living during the Great Depression, and fighting in World War 2. I would ask him because he passed away years before I was even born and I have always wondered how it was to survive great trials such as World War 2. Some things he would tell me are his experiences on a naval boat, or maybe what he had to do for food and warmth during the depression, or about the several businesses he managed and owned. Some Things I would tell my kids if they interviewed me about being a teenager in high school is to make more friends than enemies, keep your friends close, the time for joking around is over. I would tell them to be prepared for anything and don’t forget

I chose to interview Randy Bedsaul. He is an older gentleman who responds in a genuine manner. Since he works in my maintenance shop and I interact with him on a daily basis it was easy to ask him to do this interview. He responded quickly to my request and even stayed after work one day to help me out. To say I was thrilled would be an understatement. I really appreciate individuals who are willing to go the extra mile to help others in regards to personal/professional growth.

I chose my father, Joe Krisciunas, to interview, as I felt he had a positive Fundamental Stance. I know Mr. Krisciunas because he, as stated, is my father. I chose him because he has been such an excellent father to me over the years, and has done much for me and for my family. He is hardworking, intelligent, and provides for everyone in our family, although he works very hard as an electrical engineer, he still makes time for his family, and for God. He goes above and beyond when it comes to being a family member, helping us with our homework, teaching us the value of hard work, and helping us to build character and other skills that will help us later in life. He is always honest, truthful, kind and reverent. He never tells lies, never acts cruelly towards others, and always does his best to raise his kids to be moral and upstanding members of society. It is for all of these reasons that I chose to interview my father.

I learned a little bit more about myself, mostly how horrified I was to hear some of what Pumpkin has to say about himself at times, although most of that was from the conversation we had about our lives after the interview, and how lucky I am to be, and be perceived as, straight even if I am asexual. I was also pretty happy to hear about RS’s experiences growing up and to have her try to explain the feeling when she sees or hears people talk negatively about people who are not heterosexual. It really cemented my views that, like Pumpkin said, sexual orientation is almost just a fact about someone. It shouldn’t change someones opinion on someone, as the person is still them, you just know more about them after you find out or are told. I
