Facial Expressions
During the interview, the accountant Simon always smiled to the shop owner Ciara, which made Ciara to relax to communicate with Simon. When Ciara finished answering questions, Simon sometimes nodded his head to show that he completely understood Ciara’s words. Nodding head also mean encouraging Ciara to try best to tell the fact for the next following question.
Gestures
Both the interviewer and interviewee did not use meaningful gestures during the conversation. I think the main reason is that they all get familiar with the three internal control tables so they do not need gestures to help each other to understand their words.
Interviewing for information
Purpose
The accountant Simon had a clear mind for this interview’s purpose which was to obtain the internal control information at Ciara’s tailor store. At the opening part of the interview, Simon also clearly noticed Ciara his purpose to invite her doing the interview.
Structure
The interview was highly scheduled. The accountant Simon prepared serval questions on a notebook before the interview and asked all these questions in the order during the interview. Simon broke down his questions into 4 parts including sales, employees, safeguards and reconciliation based on the internal control table. The entire interview lasted

During the interview, the interviewer Simon mainly asked open questions for the interviewee Ciara. I think two reasons led Simon to design open questions rather closed questions. Firstly, as an entry level accountant, Simon was not supposed to know much information about the store so he could not design appropriate closed questions. In addition, Simon more focused on the processes of the internal control, so open questions such as “what’s your store’s hiring process” could allow Ciara to tell more details of her store’s
Then, I touched her shoulder, kept saying, and raise my tone a bit because I was afraid if she had a hearing trouble. I was reassuring her she will be fine. In the meantime, I was thinking whether the English language was not her mother tongue but I kept myself communicate verbally with her including using my body gesturers and facial expression. Body gesturers and facial expressions are referred as a non-verbal communication (Funnell et al, 2005, p.443). I thought of the language barrier that breaks our verbal communication. Castledine (2002, p.923) mention that the language barrier arises when there are individuals comes from a different social background use their own slang or phrases in the conversations. Luckily, those particular body gesturers could make her understand that I was going to assess her. During the assessment I maintained the eye contact as I do not want her to feel shy. This is supported by Caris-Verhallen et al (1999) which mentioned that the direct of eye contact could express a sense of interest in the person to the other person involves in that communication. As a result, she gave a good cooperation and was very happy for the assessment until finished.
A few days ago I took a trip to my local mall and took a seat at the food court. My objective was to observe individuals engaging in non-verbal communication and document what I witnessed. After only a few minutes I became aware of a couple sitting within public distance, about 15-20ft away from me. They were having an argument about how the male was being cold and unaffectionate. While observing them I realized they were using various gestures while arguing. I will inform you of what type they were and what they were conveying.

In order to continue on the path of hiring the right person for the right job, an integrity test of skills should be added to the interviewing process for certain job listings. Integrity tests have been linked to people who are more likely to be honest about work in future and vice versa (Van Iddekinge, Roth, Raymark, & Odle-Dusseau, 2012). An enhancement to the interviewing process that would be beneficial for finding the right person is to incorporate a brief interview with potential peers. This technique is effective in order to make the candidate feel more comfortable and establish a relationship with their potential peers, it also allows interviewers to provide an honest perspective of daily tasks and the expectations of the new team member. Cigna is on a strong path to success, I have been with the organization for a year and I can see the difference in the quality of candidates and the high-level contributions provided to team and organizational goals. The appraisal process is one of the strongest in the industry, employees of various careers bands have the opportunity of achieving the required goals in order to receive promotions, pay increases and
Also, the interviewer did not ask any questions to determine the interviewee’s behavior, her critical thinking, or how well, if at all, she worked in a team. Overall both, the interviewee and interviewer, would do well to brush-up on their interviewing skills.
Thought out the millennia, magic, sorcery, and the use of certain board games have drawn unsuspecting confessing born again believers into the lively hood as Simon the magician; a believer that lives under the false premises of being truly born again. This may seem a harsh judgement however, listen to what Peter tells the church to do in 1 Peter 4:17 (King James Version) For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Victoria Company is a large, successful retail merchandising company located in Australia. Jill Perry, one of your classmates, has an interview with the company for a position in the company’s finance group. In preparing for her interview, Jill has spoken with several MBS alumni who work at Victoria Company.

The entrepreneur that I choose to interview was, Dehra Battle. She is the owner and stylist at her own salon called, Hair Savvy Hair and Nail Salon. The salon opened up on the Spring of 2010. I have known Dehra for the past 10 years. She has been my personal hair stylist for the last 10 years. Being a close family friend, I have seen her trials and tribulations with opening her own salon. I choose Dehra, because she is a wonderful and hard working woman, who put her passion for helping others with self esteem by creating signature styles that will give any woman the confidence to feel like she owns the room. Dehra was not satisfied with working under a salon owner who was not concerned about the workers safety and customer satisfaction. She wanted to be in control and create an environment that customers would love to attend regularly.
Once finishing the interview I recall thinking that I had forgotten one major factor within the interview, which was taking notes. This would have to be my only major weakness that I found I had whilst interviewing Mary Doe. At the time I was so focused on eye contact, so it was really easy for myself to just ask the questions and get lost in the answer whilst trying to figure out what question to ask next. The lack of note taking in response to Mary Doe’s answers left me forgetting to listen one hundred percent as I was switching focus to what came next. When researching how I can improve this skill there was a lot of positive feedback on how to strengthen this skill. One that I shall be focusing on for future interviewing opportunities is to continually jot down small phrases as spoken, any specific information that is useful
160-164). As per Sommers-Flanagan and Sommers-Flanagan (2008, p. 164-171), a brief summary of the concerns, a closing statement, and reassurance of the support are the few components of closing and termination. Throughout the interview a range of open, closed, and reflective questions are used (Yeung, 2008, p.19-23). Whereas the use of leading, multiple, hypothetical, and double barrelled questions should be minimised (Yeung, 2008, p.42-58).
