1. Question: Share some of the background of your interviewee (or couple). What was this person’s/couple’s story? I interviewed a woman name Jodi. This was an amazing interview that I made with a couple. This interview was quite educational, challenging and rewarding. Through this interview I expanded my knowledge regarding cultural factors that can helpful for the couple in order to form their identity in a unique way. The couple traced their historical background back to North Canton Ohio. Jodi is a 34 year old beautiful stay-at-home wife, with two wonderful sons named Brett and Justin and is happily married to her best friend Pete of 14 years. Jodi is also a Jehovah Witness. Jodi and her whole family are of the Jehovah faith. Jehovah’s Witnesses beliefs learn that baptism by total immersion is the representation of someone life in the way of God. Jodi has one living siblings and one deceased, both parents are living and actively involved in their lives. Mainly Jehovah witnesses belief that they have different religion traditions than Christian denominations such that they limit the number of people who will have the privilege to go to heaven, 144,000 that is refusals of tradition of Latin cross and denying the Trinity doctrine. Jodi and her husband Pete live in North Canton Ohio not too far from my employment where Jodi works out at the local gym Bally Total Fitness, this is where we met. There was one point of the interview i.e. Jodi shared an early childhood memory
It was my responsibility to help her reach a different understanding. With compassion and love, I discussed with her the circumstance of her history. We read religious text together. I was able to attend her baptismal service later that week.
We sat down on the leather, red couch and I slipped out my interview questions. I decided ahead of time to write the questions I was going to write about. I chose to ask about his interactions with his childhood pets, so I then looked him in the eye and asked him.
Discuss some ways in which you have effectively and successfully navigated interviews with patients of all ages, or in particular your area of practice.
I had the pleasure of interviewing a good friend of mine and a co-worker named Vincent. Vincent is a 28-year-old from the Philippians. He is the youngest of two and him and his brother are part of his family first generation of children born here in America. Vincent has been working as a nurse for the past three years providing in-home services to special needs children. Vincent explained he enjoyed his job and get fulfillment from doing his job. Vincent did express some dissatisfaction with his job as of late because his clients are beginning to become more physically aggressive towards him leaving him with bruises and torn clothes. Vincent stated he has been thinking about joining the United States Air Force to gain more experience in triage because he would like to work in the emergency room or ICU one day.
For this journal, I will reflect on the three interviews and highlight the answers from each. Let’s take a look.
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
I wanted to make sure that I covered a broad area of topics with the questions I asked so as to not make the interview seem too serious. Listed below are the questions.
For my Human Resources perspective I interviewed Judie Crudo the Human Resource Director for St. Anthony Foundation (St. Anthony’s). She has been with the organization in that capacity for 25 years. Being a native San Franciscan being offered a position with St. Anthony’s was a calling to her, “working for the best” is what she wanted to do and felt St. Anthony’s really offered that opportunity. Prior to working at St. Anthony’s, she was worked in Human Resources for Macy’s and a small startup company.
Many people would not imagine that an eleven-year-old girl would be able to prepare an elaborate and tasteful feast for the Jehovah Witnesses Church. I was not that girl, but I did attend their picnic. As a child, I was not fully exposed to the different cultures that surrounded me. I have always believed that everyone was like me. Physically I can tell that everyone was different, from color to height, though I assumed that everyone had the same Catholic beliefs as me. From this event and another, I was able to experience and acknowledge the diversity in my world, not only physically but also mentally and spiritually.
2. Interviewer: What was your first thought when you found out that the person you
On Monday, September 7th, 2015, I interviewed a young lady named Ashley. I met Ashley at Mudshark’s restaurant. Ashley was the hostess at the restaurant and, as things were slow, she was happy to help me with my interview. I asked her the questions on the orange class handout to help with the flow of conversation and we had a nice chat.
I interviewed my co-worker, Mary Varela. Her family is originally from Little Rock, Arkansas. Her family lived in a small country town surrounded by mountains. One day her dad decided to move to San Francisco, California. Her father was a roofer so therefore San Francisco was a city with more possibilities of job opportunities. After a couple years later, Mary was born. Mary faced many struggles in life but the most that impacted her was her society did not accept her for who she was. Mary has always struggle with her weight.
I interviewed John and Cindy about their marriage and the challenges they’ve faced together as a married couple. I am encouraged by their relationship and have decided to use their relationship as a model for my second interview. John and Cindy have been married for almost 5 years. In addition to this union, there is McKenna, Cindy’s son. They are a blended family, of course, and are part of the more modern structure of families in our society.
Based on the participants’ answers, I would come up with appropriate questions during the interview and allowed the participants to deeply reflect on their own perspectives. Each interview was divided into three sections, starting with their romantic relationship. This allowed the participants to talk as if they were telling their life story. Within their story-like narratives, the researcher could identify particular perspectives concerning love. Through the sharing of their love stories and their feelings about them, the researcher built up a certain relationship with the participants. In section 2, participants were asked about their definition of an intimate relationship and their ideal for this. I did not restrict the term to only romantic relationships and allowed participants to give open answers – whatever entered their minds. In section 3, the questions focused on the findom and each participant’s sexual behaviour. This section yielded information about the effect of the findom in the sexual
The person I chose to interview was my parent’s. My dad and my mom have been married for twenty-one years.
