Interview with a Business Owner

To be able to find the best candidate for the interview I had to look everywhere and had to ask everyone for an interview, but after getting turned down from a couple agents turns out that my friends real estate agent is one of the best and well know respected person at what he does, his name is Ludyn Tijerino. Mr. Tijerino works for an agency called Approved 4 keys. I was able to get in contact with this person through a favor done from my friend. My overall assessment of this interview is that it turns out that in the real estate business there is more to it than what I had imagine. Many of the questions that I had asked seemed to be answered by the time I got there for interview. Mr. Tijerino Seems to be a real great person at what he

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.

For my leadership interview, I chose my cousin Angie. She is a chemical engineer, and I chose her because she has always been someone I have looked up to. She is similar to me in that she is science-oriented and enjoys problem solving. She is also very confident and outgoing, and those are some of the things that I would like to work on in myself. When someone asks me a question, nine times out of ten, I will say the answer and then add, “…but I am not 100% sure”. I think that I leader needs to possess confidence, especially when they are answering questions and making decisions. I am trying to work on that myself, and I thought that talking to Angie would be helpful for me.

The interview process is the gateway to basically fill a position from a company. The function of an interview is to assess candidate’s skills to pertinent questions that are necessary to fill in the needs of an organization. Fact of the matter is, structuring an effective and efficient interview process is not really basic, for it entails ethical, legal and moral considerations with each question asked. Since we would cover up ten questions in this elective, the two criteria’s that I am going to include as a ranking score would be a confidence rating scale in which to scale the level of confidence the way each candidate answers the question and a question satisfaction rating scale in which for each person that conducts the interview will also rank the level of satisfaction on each question that had been answered by the interviewee (Pulakos, 1997). Both scales would be scaled from 1 to 5 in which 1 would be the lowest attainable score and 5 would be the highest. This then would make up a perfect score of 100 points as confidence would make up a total perfect score of 50 points for ten the questions and also the same with satisfaction. In the end of each question there would be a space provide to write any important notes on why or why not they are the best candidate for the position.

For our Introduction to Business class, we had to interview a business person. I decided to interview my uncle, William Kurtz based on his background, and the fact that he lives in the area. The purpose of the interview was not only to get information to write this paper, but to learn about a job in the business field, and how it has been affected by the changing economy.

I structured this paper by giving you the insight about all the question I asked and the responses I received, ending it off with the list of facts I learned and knowledge I gained throughout the interview.

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.

Opening a new retail business can be daunting to say the least. The entrepreneur accepts full responsibility for development and management, including the risks and rewards. Many businesses do not survive to see their fifth anniversary since business owners fail to develop an effective business plan (Haag, 2013). The key to the success of a business is writing a business plan down first, when preparing to open a business, it emphases on the main areas of concern and will be the core support of a successful business. There are many obligations that must addressed before opening up to the general public and this paper will discuss the steps that need to be taken from the beginning until the grand opening of a fictional retail store, Savvy Chic Apparel. These obligations and steps will include financing options, location strategies, merchandising plans, staff recruitment, preliminary training, product selection, store management considerations and advertising media budgets.

The entrepreneur that I interviewed was Lydia Patterson. In 1989, Lydia and her husband, Lou, decided to start planning to open up a new Italian restaurant in Virginia. The restaurant industry, especially in the Washington DC area is very competitive. It is highly competitive with respect to price, value and promotions, service, location, and food quality.  There are a substantial number of restaurant operations that compete for customer traffic, some of which have significantly greater resources to aggressively market to consumers, which could result in losing market share.  Consumers are highly focused on value and if other restaurants are able to promote and deliver a higher degree of value, guest traffic levels
