My First Interview With Jeff Diveronica

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.

The name of the interviewee is Matt Gunnell. He is a manager at the Jefferson City Apothecary. He has been instrumental to manufacturing medicine a playing a vital role in keeping the people of the Jefferson City community healthy and strong. I decided to choose Matt because he is a laid back and amazing individual who is very positive about life and encourage others to thrive and find their talent to make the world a better place. He also has a strong passion for his job and his role in ensuring the wellness of our citizens in this community. Also, I picked the Apothecary because of the vital role they to ensure our society have access to the medicine they need to stay healthy. It is one of the very few pharmaceutical businesses in town. It also offer pocket friendly prescriptions for some citizens that had to pay out of pocket.

The first person I interviewed was Celeste Lashmett. Celeste was my high school track coach and had recently became a new parent in the last two years. AJ is two years and four months old right now. Celeste is currently living in Winchester Illinois with her husband Tim. Tim and Celeste have been married for the last five years. With AJ only being a little over two years old I would still consider them to be new parents. Tim works at Lincoln Land FS in Winchester and Celeste is the high school guidance counselor and also the high school track coach. The interview was done at the high school in Celeste’s office and Tim was not present.

Throughout this semester this class has allowed me the privilege to get to know people who I would have never talked to on a personal level while also having the chance to advance my interviewing skills while getting to know them. Not only did these interviews and experiences display my strengths such as being able to adapt to certain situations but even more importantly it helped show me my weaknesses. After one interview and the next, I had to learn what role I had to play as within each interview I had to adapt to find my specific role as it varied from one to the next. Having the opportunity to interview a handful of people from the beginning of this semester to now has also taught me that the person you are interviewing can have a tremendous effect on if the interview goes successfully or not for reasons that I will elaborate on further in my paper. Lastly, one of the greatest lessons I learned about while interviewing people would be how to properly prepare to make sure the interview itself go as smoothly as possible. All of these factors have helped me grow in becoming a better interviewer and have helped me grow as a person.

I interviewed Jaye Foucher, she is a friend, my boss, and the owner of a racing/breeding dog kennel.

One thing that was addressed in this presentation was different types of questions that are common for the interviewer to ask the person being interviewed. Some of these questions are more basic, and some are more specific for in the company and position you are interviewing for. I learned that when you tell the interviewer about yourself, that you should relate it to your work, and not just say random things about yourself. If they ask you to name some of your flaws, you should be honest with it and name some realistic ones, but then close

My dad, Jeff Risner was the first that was up to the plate to be interviewed. My question was my very first word as a child. His answer was “dad.” He said that “I will never forget the very first time you said your first word.” I think that’s pretty cool that he remembered my very first word to this day.

I chose to interview Jen Flemming. She is a teacher, mentor, mother, wife, and a leader. I first met Jen when she adopted my little sister. My mother was having a hard time and she needed some help, she could not have hand picked a better person to fill her shoes. Jen was a leader then when she took my sister as her own, and she is also a leader in her career. She is a second grade teacher at Calvin Coolidge Elementary School. I remember when I told her that I was changing my major to Elementary Education. She was very excited and eager to help me along the way. She offered me advice, a listening ear, and helped me find a placement for me pre-practicum. I only wish I had been able to be in her classroom for it! Jen is someone who is always positive, always there to listen, and the first to offer support. I knew that there would be so much I could learn from her.

In general, I can say that both interviewers were very interesting and helpful, I learn a lot about the physical therapy profession and also I received a lot of advises in order to success in this beautiful

Throughout the 2-hour long interview, I did not think that we would be able to cover all my questions; however, we did. Larry was more than willing to answer anything I asked. My

My second interviewee was one of my coaches Mark Whalen. His life was impacted by the Oklahoma City Bombing on April 19, 1995. At the time he was around 7-8 years old, in Minco, Oklahoma, about 40 miles away. He was terrified and

“On my first day of colAs I walk into his office the smell of roasting coffee warms me up, and as he’s sitting at his desk in a white button up shirt I gradually tell him “please, have a seat”. This is David Spee, or as a couple of his friends call him Speeman. He is very professional and good at what he does. David is a spectacular speaker, well I mean he has to be if he wants to keep his job. He works down the hall of where my mom works in small Paia Town. I’ve known David Spee for Four years now so I thought it would be a good idea to interview someone who I knew and could trust. .

My second interviewee was on November the 12th with Mr. Jay Washington. His outlook towards the occupation was also beneficial as to where lead me into a part of the career which never pondered upon me. Having that he hasn’t gotten out of school that long ago, he really informed me about an abundance of research that he has knowledge of. Prior to my visit I asked if he could have noted, articles and things of that nature which I could study after our interview. He made sure that every question that I asked had an outstanding answer with every possible answer he could

The first interview I conducted was with Hannah Sky, I interviewed her after church while I was home for spring break after obtaining permission from her and her parents. The only condition that they had was that they be in the room during the interview. The atmosphere was relaxed and familiar for Hannah since she has known me and our church for years, therefore this hopefully helped get me accurate and honest answers. For all of the interviews I conducted, I wrote the responses in a word file on my laptop rather than recording them. I started her interview by asking her questions

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.
