Interviewing a Business Owner

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.

I feel the the informational interview went fairly well. I actually had the opportunity to work for Mrs. Kaur last summer so I knew her a little bit and was comfortable asking her questions. Also, having some prior knowledge of her work and background allowed me to ask address concerns that I may have not been able to without that pre-exisitng connection. I was able to learn a great deal about what actually goes into running a business and also learned about the great range of skills required to create your own company/business. Even though I learned a lot about the actual pratice of having your business, I feel I missed out on the educational aspects. Because Mrs. Kaur had not pursued a education related to business, she was not really in

My experience in conducting a study for opportunity neighborhood was priceless. I believe that I have become a better person and a better social worker after this project. As I had to come out of my shell to approach random strangers in public settings. I learned that engaging strangers to discuss their perception of equity and equality in their community was not an easy task. People were not always eager to speak to us and those who did were people that would not benefit from services provided by Opportunity Neighborhood. I was rejected by many of the people that I initially approached for an interview. I realized that rejection makes you feel discouraged; However, I enjoyed the process of engaging the community. I felt as if I was contributing

This memo describes the informative interview conducted on February 28, 2017, with Mrs. Delores Fulton, who is a manager of the Internal Revenue Service. This interview took place at a restaurant and approximately lasted for 30 minutes. My memo gives information on Mrs. Fulton’s professional background, how she obtained her position at the Internal Revenue Service, and shares what skills and qualities an accountant must have.

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.

I chose to interview Chris Bouwens. He is the owner of Professional Safety Solutions, Inc. and ProDry, LLC. Both of these companies he founded by himself. I had the opportunity to watch him take these ideas to fruition. He runs both of these companies out of the same Grand Rapids office. Each company has its own employees, logos, and phone numbers. Professional Safety Solutions is centered on hospital and construction site safety, inspections and testing. ProDry is a water and mold remediation company.

This is Heath Like and I am emailing to inform you that I have met with the B2B client. I have also asked to set up a meeting to discuss our bulk pricing rates. I plan to offer them discounts of 1% for an order between 100-249 units, 2% for an order between 250-499 units, 3% for an order between 500-999 units, and 4% for orders of 1000+ units. I hope that you find these rates acceptable and I ask that you inform me in case any changes need to be made.

The grant will be mainly used to) support 100 costumer interviews and other I-Corps activities, 2) pay EL and PI’s partial salary/stipend, 3) make a new prototype. So far, shooting tests to stop rifle bullets of AK-47 and AR-15 have been completed. We would interview many police officers and soldiers to demonstrate the value of our product, and to get their feedback to improve the product. We plan to interview these police officers, TSA officers in the local police departments and airports in New Mexico, and then in nearby states such as Arizona, Colorado, Texas and California. We also plan to visit Army Fort Bliss, Fort Carson, Fort Huachuca which are within the driving distance. Based on the feedback of the costumer interviews (including some technical feedback such as the weight of the armored ladder), the PI will modify the ladder design and make a prototype. Within three months after the end of this project, the technical design will be ready for manufacture to enter a very large protection product market.

Workplace safety is a commonly used phrase that many do not consider until an accident occurs. Throughout, the US workplace injuries occur on a daily basis. This has been an issue in the workplace for many years, until the Occupational Health and Safety Administration was enacted in 1970. OSHA is a federal organization (part of the Department of Labor) that ensures safe and healthy working conditions for Americans by enforcing standards and providing workplace safety training. As a result, OSHA has helped my grandparents, mother, father, and myself escape hazardous workplaces.

Worker: I started the conversation by introducing myself and my role. “Hello I’m Mara Arroyo. I ‘m a Social Worker Interim and I’m here to listen and try my best to understand your concerns”

Thank you very much for your time yesterday to interview with me for the position of Team Leader. I appreciate the opportunity to further educate myself as you elucidated the scope of the position at a granular level. In addition, it was exhilarating to discuss the functions, responsibilities, and vision for the Service Recovery department. It is very clear that this opportunity has the potential to be both challenging and rewarding. As we discussed, the position’s challenges and priorities are very similar to those that I faced joining the management team in my current role as Shift Manager for Base Logistics a few years ago. I think that my excellent interpersonal skills will allow us the ability to help elevate and evolve the culture in

There is much that can be accomplished when you surround yourself with individuals that possess the knowledge that you seek. Conducting interviews or partaking in casual conversations are ways to acquire such knowledge. I had the pleasure and opportunity to interview Steve Bickert, CPA at Concannon Miller & Co., a firm consisting of Certified Public Accountants and Business Consultants. Bickert was a perfect candidate for my interview due to the fact that he has been in the accounting profession for years, but had just recently taken, and passed the CPA exam this past October. Having the opportunity to gain perspective from an individual who had just completed the same goals I have set for myself, was a unique experience I could not pass up. The following, is a discussion regarding the interview between Bickert and myself.

If I were to interview a family member of my choice, it would be my grandmother. Having lived in many foreign countries as a military girl, losing her father and a husband, and raising a family of eleven children with little money for support, her life has been inconceivable.

When interviewing for jobs, the employer mindset is the “attraction, selection, and retention of a highly competent employee” (Woods, Johanson and Sciarini 2012 p. 137). The are looking what your brand can do for them. They want to know things such as what your goal is, how you will make it a reality and what makes you valuable to them. They look at you as owning a business and that business is your background. This is extremely important because as an employer you want to hire someone who will do things for you and wants to grow professionally, not someone just looking for a stable
