I have known Keri for 3 years now as we came to Northwest Christian University from Blue Mountain Community College to attend school and play volleyball. Keri is one of my closest friends and volunteered when she overheard me talking about our mock interviews to our coach. Keri is an Exercise Science major here at NCU, with plans to become an athletic director or athletic trainer. One of her goals is to also coach volleyball at the high school level, so the interview was based on a coaching position for her former high school.
Before the interview, I mentioned the nonverbal cues that she should keep in mind. She started off great as she spoke very fluently. However, when I asked her what her personal mission statement was I noticed she kept
When you are friends with someone who you are attempting to have a serious/detailed conversation with about things friends do not normally talk about, it sometimes can affect the outcome of what is trying to be achieved. So, I asked Krystal to talk to me like she normally would, as a friend and not an interviewer. And instead of asking her a series of new questions, I decided to ask her previous questions that I had already asked prior from earlier meetings that the two of us had engaged in, about her career.
2. After watching the interview, I believe that Dr. Noonan could improve her tone of voice during interviews. There was one incident where the client did
I had an interview with Helen Quelch in her office. She has been working as a volunteer engagement manager at National Jewish Health for more than 7 years. Before that, she also had worked at the Denver Hospice as volunteer manager as well for many years. She had a lot of managerial experiences of working in a healthcare field. That is a reason I want to interview her to explore the career in healthcare management.
To have a productive interview and be the perfect interviewer you must have certain qualities and understand the roles you must play. The role as an interviewer is simple; have an agenda, know your purpose, Have a limit on how much you actually speak and practice key listening skills. As an interviewer you may also want to watch some of the nonverbal keys the interviewee may be giving you so you can gain a full grasp on how the interviewee may truly feel on a subject. In the video by
In Alyssa’s interview I asked what the majority ethnicity of her high school teachers and students were. She explained that it was pretty common to see white female teachers, which is not a surprise, because according to the Association of Colleges for Teacher Education more than 80 percent of the bachelor’s degrees in education awarded during the 2009-2010 school year where to white students (AACTE). Alyssa’s school was not completely filled with just white teachers she notified me that her school also had an average amount of African American teachers along with Hispanic teachers. As for students she said that they were pretty diverse. Mexican, African American and whites were the majority of the school population.
I chose to interview Jamie Schoenherr, an assistant athletic trainer/head of education at Buena Vista University. She finished her undergrad degree at BVU then continued her education at Western Illinois University. Here she received her master’s degree while working for a grad assistantship. Her first job was with the University of Wyoming. From here she moved closer to home to work at a hospital/help with three different high schools. Jamie then decided to return to BVU where she still works to this day. She has been employed with BVU since 2013. The reason I selected Jamie was because of her overall friendly attitude and how approachable of a person she is. When meeting all BV’s athletic trainers, Jamie stuck out the most. She always has
Mass incarceration, particularly the disproportionate number of African Americans in prison, remains an issue that is both altogether settled, but at the same time unresolved. There still exists a pervasive idea that many people of color tend to be trouble makers, and thus are directly responsible for their own mass incarceration; however, this theory creates more questions than it answers. Furthermore, it does not address why mass incarceration continues even after it has been recognized as a serious socio-economical issue for several decades. Filmmaker Ava DuVernay proposes in her documentary titled "13th", that the mass incarceration of African Americans, as well as their frequent depiction as criminals, finds its roots in a thirteenth
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. After initially getting in contact with Ms. Reynolds a few weeks ago, I was finally able to meet with her briefly and conduct my interview on November 30, 2010, in room 261 in the Hecht Athletics Center. Just to give a bit of background information about Ms. Reynolds, she is from Elmira, New York and now
She is a member of ASCA and would like to be more active in the conferences and such, but she doesn 't feel that she can take that amount of time away from school. We wrapped up the interview with words of wisdom ' and the main thing that she wanted me to know was how important it is for me to know who I am, what I can and cannot
Throughout the videos, there were many times in which the interviewer was successful and conducted a decent interview. The interview room was assembled appropriately, except for the table, which could have acted as a barrier between them. The proxemics amongst them was at a respectable distance for an interviewer and a victim. His pitch and tone of voice remained calm and relaxing throughout the interview. Due to her traumatic state, it was very important that he remained calm. There were some signs of good communication from him, including positive eye contact and active listening. Active listening was shown in
R During the interview in many occasions I wanted to stop her and tell her that she was lost to hold Jesus in high regard, believing Him to be only a great spiritual teacher, or guru, although he was God who became man. How can she take his name and use it to diverge the truth about him. However I did not, because I was aware that I was getting there and I stopped. At least to me, among the other faith I have learned about, the subtlety I discovered in that sect would require a broader assessment tool to deal with the challenges it comprises in order to provide holistic care.
When I first began the interview, I felt like I was skilled in my introduction, but I mistakenly went straight to asking about the issue before talking to Julia about confidentiality. I started over and felt
My client is a 25-year-old South Asian woman. She appears thin with long black hair and brown eyes. She is wearing dark pants, a long sleeved blue shirt with a multicoloured scarf. Her clothing is neat and appropriate to her environment. She is wearing makeup, appears clean and is well put together. The client answers direct questions but does not provide a lot of information. Patient is willing to provide more information when asked directly or prompted by the writer. The client’s rate of speech was slow at first but as the interview continued, became a normal rate. Her speech was clear; however spoke in a soft volume with a monotone voice. Her rhythm was smooth and her speech was not pressured. The client’s
When conducting an interview I carefully read the contact with other. I knew I was interviewing someone from a different culture so I had to understand the ethnic community she was from which was Hispanic. I also was very focused on the professional self-disclosure because we were talking about a lot of personal things. I tried to humanize our relationship before I asked tough questions, this helps to create a sense of bonding. I was also very careful of my communication style, I always wanted to ask her questions in a positive manner and I was always actively listening to her responses.
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
