Textual Interview

Going into the interview, even knowing full well that it was simply a mock interview, I was somewhat anxious. The most nerve-wracking part of an interview is the fear of the unknown. What will they ask me? Will I have an answer? Will my mind go blank because I panic? These are all thoughts that ran through my mind when I sat down to my interview, yet again. To my delight, I witnessed the growth I have made in such a short time since I transferred to SDSU to the person I am now.

In order to meet the study objectives, in addition to the case study, a semi-structured interview was conducted using non-random sampling.

A total of 7 interviews were conducted with estate agents in the West Hampstead/Kilburn area. The interviews lasted approximately 10 minutes. The participants were as follows:

As an Accounting major, I am very interested and have become fond of learning about the varying business aspects within the sports industry. As a result, I decided to conduct my interview with a professional that is associated with the business operations of athletics. The person that I interviewed was Dawn Reynolds, the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Business and Finance here at the University of Miami.

For college students, perhaps the most difficult decision they will be forced to make is what occupation to pursue. Picking a particular career from the thousands available can seem impossible at times.

Informational interviews are an excellent way of learning about a particular job from someone with first-hand experience.

I interviewed a psychologist for my second field research. Sharon Epel has been a licensed psychotherapist for 12 years and has been a family and marriage counsellor in her own private practice. She has done extensive work with schools and has been a therapist to a variety of temperaments and personalities. I wanted to understand how she helps people, and what she notices about them in her sessions. I tried to create an informative interview that would benefit me by giving me a look into how people’s brains influence their emotions. I hoped that this interview would give me a solid understanding of introverts and extraverts and their differences.

When doing an informational interview you need to plan it out. Make a plan of what you’re going to ask give yourself 15 to 30 minutes to do the interview. Dress nice like you would if you were going to do that job. Make the interview interesting and some things that you’re into.

Howard and Johnson (2004) conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews to investigate ‘resilient’ teachers’ strategies for coping with burnout in their day-to-day teaching in disadvantaged Australian schools. Findings from the interviews found that by adopting a resilience perspective, a small group of teachers who persistently cope well with serious occupational stress were able to be identified. Participants in this study identified a sense of agency, a strong support group (i.e. a proficient and concerned leadership team), pride in achievements and competence in areas of personal importance as their major protective factors in coping with burnout and stress. All these factors were strong features throughout the interview.

During interview with Hildreth (In-Person Interview, 2015) he notes that his vocational/ rehabilitation program works with between 15-20% of the clients of North West Ohio Psychiatric Hospital. Hildreth (2015) notes that some of his clients work in the vocational program for a shorter time such as a month, while others have been in the program for over a decade (i.e. forensic clients who are NGRI Not Guilty for Reason of Insanity).

It was the twelfth of September, the leaves were quietly falling off the trees, and the sky was a gloomy shade of gray. Although I was doing the dishes, on my mother's order, I was secretly attempting to get her to sit down, relax, and let me ask her a few questions. My mother is a very busy woman, she does all kinds of things to make the world a better place, for her loving family, and even for the people she doesn’t know. All she could suspect then, is that I mysteriously listened to her directions without arguing.

Without hesitation, she replied,” Sure, of course you can interview

Throughout the hierarchal process of the Turing test with Ava, Caleb begins to fall in love with her. During these interviews, Caleb attempts to understand the humanlike AI he is confronted with, clearly handling conversations and treating her an intellectual oddity. Ava emerges from seclusion in a dark room, and the prevailing LEDs glowing from her mechanical body are easily prevalent. This representation of Ava immediately establishes her as mechanical figure rather than an actual being. Additionally, these early interviews are as significant to the audience as they are for Caleb: this also signifies the journey from Ava the item to Ava the person. However, within these immense moments Caleb is gradually horrified by the ways Nathan imprisons
