Some other factors to consider would be proximity, orientation and posture, for example, when dealing with a young child who you have not yet formed a strong relationship with, you would need to consider if you are too close to them so you do not come across as too intimidating and you would also need to use facial expressions to reassure them i.e. smiling and soft tones.

Alyssa is showing concern about who will view her record. The case manager explains that she knows privacy is important to Alyssa. The supervisor, consultant, and other staff who are working directly with Alyssa cannot view her record without her signed consent. In explaining to the client there are exceptions in cases of emergency where information may be shared without her consent. For example, suicide, homicide or other life-threatening situations (Woodside & McClam, 2013).

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.

I have read the ACAP Student Plagiarism and Academic Misconduct Policy and understand its

Victims of various crimes are usually from diverse backgrounds regarding their cultural beliefs, physical abilities, and disabilities as well language among other factors. Therefore, as an interviewer, one should consider all the factors to ensure that the interviewing process goes on smoothly. It is also the role of the interviewer to make sure that even though the factors are considered, there is the least bias in the process to ensure that the prosecution gets the facts right rather than based on the interviewer’s perception (Thakkar, Jaffe & Vander Linden, 2015). Cultural differences and physical disabilities are some of the most common hindrances of communication during

• To continue improving interviewing skills based upon cultural differences, diagnoses, and the person in environment: my task for this assignment would be interviewing older adult clients from various cultural background and diverse groups such as differences in language, diagnoses, as well as exploring the person in the environment in the weekly care plan meetings.

A positive outcome from the future behavior is that the manager will be able to motivate employees to work hard. A bad answer that the candidate can provide is showing authority over others and not considering the input of his followers when making a decision. I may consider this a bad answer because, so as to have a good working relation, a manager should ensure that they

As an interviewee, one of my first weakness was that I was the first person to be interviewed which frightened me a little as it was a new experience to me since I have never taken part in an interview before. Another weakness that I faced was that I was caught off guard by one of the panellists who repeated the same question, which I have already answered. Which I believed it to be very intimidating because it showed that she wasn’t listening to me and it made me consider that she has already decided that i wouldn't be hired henceforth, she was not interested in what I had to say. Moreover, it
