Adolescent Interview Essay
Adolescent Interview Teenage years can be a challenging time for many individuals. Beginning at the age of 11 through 20, adolescence is defined as
a "transitional period in the human life span, linking childhood and adulthood" (Santrock 2009). At this point, the person is no longer a child, but not
yet an adult. This makes it a very critical and sensitive time frame for identity formation. According to Erik Erikson, adolescence is marked by the
child's questioning his or her identity during what he refers to as the identity versus identity confusion developmental stage. During this phase, the
adolescent becomes mindful of his or her identity and seeks his or her purpose in life, as well as the answer to the eternal question, "who...show more

They are all currently freshmen at Warren Township High School. Some of the subjects they are studying include biology, English, geometry, history,
and health. Although at times they are overwhelmed with the amount of homework from each class, they are still able to keep up and maintain above
average grades. All of their peers, including those with the same age in their neighborhood currently go to school. After high school, they all plan on
going to college and major in nursing, much like their mothers, father and older siblings. Based on their responses, their current identity status is that
of foreclosure. This is because their mother, father and other siblings are nurses, and so they feel compelled or pressured to continue the nursing
tradition in their families. They all admitted to not have experienced a crisis yet, nor being in the midst of one. The five teenagers that I interviewed do
not currently work. Their main focus is school, as it should be. However, they stated that if given the opportunity, they would like to take up a job so
that they could start saving money for themselves and to help out their families with their expenses. They do not seem to have too many
responsibilities given to them by their parents, aside from doing household chores and maintaining decent grades in school. Even though their parents
allowed them with some autonomy, they do not take this for granted. They still obtain permission

Master's–Prepared Nurse Interview Grand Canyon University Theoretical Foundation for Nursing Roles and Practice NUR–502 May 23, 2012
Master's–Prepared Nurse Interview With the rapid growth in the implementation and use of electronic medical records, there is an increase in how we
define the role of nurses and other team member's (Deese & Stien, 2004). Along with providing optimal care, nurses are also responsible for
interpreting and accurately documenting large amounts of information. According to, (Ericksen, 2009) nursing informatics is defined as the integration
of nursing, its information, and information management with information processing and communication technology to support the health of people

patient demographics, laboratory work, radiology, and appointment utilization, from multiple data banks within the military hospital. Shadow her for
a week and you will see her in a variety of roles. Some days she may present a brief to the executive team; another day you may find her mentoring a
nurse on how to build a disease management database ("Nursing Informatics as a Career," 2011). On another day she might be evaluating a

Informational Interview Report
The person who I conducted my informational interview was Chang Wang, Esq. I was acquainted with Mr. Chang Wang through a class he taught
at the University of Minnesota. Professor Wang is a man of many professions; he is a lawyer, a professor, an actor and a writer. I could tell that he
is extremely accomplished in his many careers through the list of schools he has taught at, awards he has received, the many licenses he's obtained,
and the number of publications he has authored. Because of his busy schedule, I contacted him a month before the interview to solidify a schedule
with him. I requested half an hour of his time, but he was very generous and gave me over an hour of his company. I wanted to interview Mr. Wang
for my assignment because I always wanted to pick his brain and learn more about what he did at Thomson Reuters. Aside from completing this
assignment and getting to know more about his work, I also had a different agenda of ultimately requesting a letter of recommendation in the...show

Because of the lack of rights in China, he is zealous about the American legal system and is a strong proponent of democracy in China. Whether in
his lifetime or after, he truly hopes for a better China with a "rule of law". I think Mr. Wang intentionally decided not to share the technicalities of
work because he wanted to share the bigger picture of his work. His approach of sharing the significance of his work reminded me of the parable of
the three stonecutters; how the first two stonecutters only saw the individualistic means of their work and how the third stone cutter embraced the
broader vision of his work. I don't know if my future career will be the "best" of all the jobs, but I will have to find the significance of what I do and

Interview Reflection Paper
During the interview I did not summarize until the very end. However, at the end of the conversation I briefly summarized what he had told me about
his dilemma with his degree and the progress he told me he was making on working through his ambivalence. Shortly thereafter we got up and left the
Veterans Resource Center and we both shook hands and thanked each other for the dialogue. Furthermore, he assured me I helped him bring awareness
to his options and the importance of working through the issue. The assurance he gave was unsolicited. Then we parted ways. In my opinion, the
interview was a successful opportunity to see how evoking a response from an individual helps them to pull the answers they are looking for from
their unconscious mind. It seemed that some of the solutions he found were already there. It took reflecting his words back to him in order for him to
become aware of them. The open–ended questions seemed to cause him to dig into his unconscious more so than the reflections. Though the reflections
were more of an instantaneous awareness as opposed to the open–ended questions being more laborious for him. However, without the questions to
help him to dig for answers, the awareness he seemed to gain may have not been as instantaneous or significant. Seemingly, the more a person digs for
information within themselves the more I am able to reflect back to them. Thus, giving the individual a chance to gain more awareness.

unapproachable. Once she became a Team Manager she had to become more of a hard nose to people that she had built relationships with over the
years. She has dove head into developing coaches and site projects to ensure that she retains the title of #1 Manager in the Nation through 2013. Her
greatest achievement was claiming this title in 2012. She welcomes feedback from employees and uses that feedback to improve the Salem Center and

Manager Interview Essay
I chose to interview Regina Geis, who holds the administrative role as acting supervisor for the County Mental Health adult day program, which
provides services for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Ms. Geis has held this position for 15 months. This is her first managerial position
within a human service agency. Her style of management has changed over this short period of time. She feels that she is now more direct with her
direction with staff. She stated, "Maybe now I come across as a little bit cold. But I have learned that I now have to use the least amount of words to
get my point across."
Ms. Geis feels that to be an effective leader one must demonstrate with a high level of confidence, "even if I'm unsure of myself,...show more content...
She replied with "Linear like Dr. Sprague (agency CEO)."
Ms. Geis feels that the communication skills that one must possess in order to make advancements in management are that one must be an effective
communicator, know the work environment, and the people you work with.
Edmondson (2009) discusses four different basic communication styles. The first style is expressive which have a tendency to speak quickly, focus
on the big picture, and have a high energy level. They can be perceived as unpredictable, vain, or excessively jovial. Next are systematic who tend to
focus on small details, not on the larger picture, and try to avoid conflicts. The third type listed is sympathetic. These individuals focus on people and
relationships. They are good listeners and so concern for everyone's needs. Sympathetics also do not like be at odds with others. Lastly, the fourth
communication style identified is directs who generally keep dialogue short and are perceived as a multitaskers. The study recommends that the
individual discover her own communication style and adjust the style according to the situation.
Grant and Taylor (2014) conducted a study which identified six essential communication traits that can aid women to demonstrate confidence: (1)
starting strong, (2) staying succinct, (3) dimensionalizing content, (4) owning voice, (5) controlling movement, and (6) projecting warmth (p. 73). The

Social Work Identity Working in a position and fulfilling your duties are not always the same concept. During the interview Captain Geis
emphasized several times that "the most important part of this job was the soldier who was supported" (2012). In this effect he embodied the
NASW values of service, integrity, human relationships, and worth of the person. These assignments gave him the opportunity to care and direct
soldiers, fulfilling both roles as a Social Worker and Officer. As an Army Officer the lines between Social Worker and Officer may have been
blurred together but each were an important part of whom he is. A Social Work Officer is not just a Social Worker or an Officer. It is the
embodiment of a leader and caregiver; an individual whose career is dedicated to the taking care of soldiers, their families, and the Army itself.
This concept may tear at the ideology of the NASW, as several of the ethical guidelines may be skewed as the requirements of the Army culture
differ from the civilian counterpart (Tallant & Ryberg, 1999). Principally, a Social Worker strives to take care of the client at all times (National
Association of Social Workers, 2008). A major influence and difference for Army Social Workers is the need to take care of the organization
primarily. A Social Work Officer will do everything they

Reflective Essay On Interview Experience
During the interview I learned various things about how a person who once was dreaming of a career worked hard to make that dream closer and
closer to reality. I always thought about jobs as boring, stressful, and tiring ways to make money to sustain one's life. But from this interview
experience I have learned that it isn't always and doesn't have to be that way. It is important for someone to pick a job they want to do, and if they
don't like it, that's okay as long as they are willing to obtain that burning determination and motivation to study and develop different variety of
newly introduced skills to accomplish what they want to do for a living. I realized that working in a job that you don't enjoy doing isn't
necessarily bad. Different jobs require different skills and knowledge in different fields/areas. A person who switched jobs multiple times (not
because they got fired) has a higher possibility of having more skills and experiences on different types of work, which causes the gap between the
doors of opportunity to widen, enabling that person to choose from a wide variety of different job options that they want to do and be content with.
From a student's' point of view, just the thought of getting into a job that you dream of seems difficult and challenging. When we look at what we
want to do when we grow up, we see a long road ahead of us with constant obstacles of traffic jam (you have to compete with different people who are

Leadership Interview Essay
To inspire and influence others, a leader must possess many skills and abilities. As motivational speaker Peter Northouse, states, "a leader should be
strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant"
(Northouse, 2013) Moving an entire group of individuals toward a singular goal is a considerable undertaking. Without effective communication skills
and a clear vision of what needs to be accomplished, one will feel like they are trying to herd cats rather than leading.

The success the company now enjoys is credited to Martinez's leadership, motivation, caring, and attention to detail. Delivering the medical care to a
patient, in the comfort of their own home, by professional, caring medical staff is a much needed service in rural northeast Colorado.
Martinez stated that in her past and current position, her goal has been to always lead by example. Martinez adamantly stated she would never ask an
employee to do anything she herself was not willing to do. She stated she did not follow a particular leadership style, but has read several leadership and
management books, articles and studies to become more effective. Martinez stated the book she references the most is Carl E. Larson and Frank M.J.
LaFasto's Teamwork: What Must Go Right/What Can Go Wrong. Through their research they explored the eight properties of successful teams: a clear,

A Interview With An Interview Essay
*For the purpose of this assignment and to keep the privacy of participates, the interviewee will be addressed as such, or as Person A. The purpose of
the assignment was to interview another person and record it, then later analyze how well you used interview techniques. The interview was to last

General Aspects of an Interview Overall, the interview was accomplished with few complications. There was definitely areas of the interview that need
attending to, and there were areas in which I excelled. The dyadic interview started with an opening statement. I attempted to make Person A feel
comfortable by asking a simple question of "How are you today?" I believe I made Person A feel as comfortable as possible in front of a camera and
build a rapport. I could have asked one or two more easy questions to lighten the mood. I was nervous being in front of a camera especially for an
assignment worth a large portion of my grade. When I'm nervous I sometimes bite my lip and unfortunately throughout the interview I chewed my
lip. This could have made Person A feel awkward if she took it in uncomfortable way. The listening aspect of the interview I believe I did very well
in. I gave attention to what Person A was saying and tried to ask questions that allowed her to elaborate, although there were a few instances that I
missed the opportunity. I also tried to write some notes down

When I asked about an outstanding role model, he said his mother has been his rock though his transition. He always calls her throughout the week, just

America. He still has a hard time understanding this mindset since it's such a polar opposite of his hometown. Juan realized he wanted to leave
Guatemala in 2006 and spent that time to make his way to the US. He originally came to the US to become a priest. He made his way to the US
when a position as a priest opened up. I asked Juan the hardest thing about moving to America. He said it was learning English. He arrived to the
Jackson airport knowing no English at all. The first weeks for Juan were extremely difficult for him. Once he arrived to the University of New
Orleans, he began an intensive English class in order to learn the language. He learned the language in about a year and could actually hold a

more of a masculine or feminine society. Masculine societies tend to focus on competition, strength and dominance, contrarily, feminine societies have
a tendency to concentrate on being caring and supportive. Medelyn described Honduras as a place where relationships tended to be more caring,
traditional and supportive. My next question was about individualism and whether or not Honduras was more of an individualist or collectivist society.
Individualist cultures, as stated in Chapter 3, "Value personal rights and responsibilities, privacy, voicing one's opinion, freedom, innovation and self
expression.", while collectivities cultures "value community, collaboration, shared interests, harmony, the public good, and avoiding embarrassment."
Medelyn described Honduras as "A place where being loyal to the community is valued and there is shared blame and responsibilities.", which would
mean Honduras is more of a collectivist society, given the description of community being valued rather than individuals, meaning that people care for
the welfare of the society. Context was the subject of my next question, figuring out whether Honduras was a low or high context society was what I
inquired from Medelyn. "A lot of communication is done by hand signals, body movements,

Lori Fulmer attended Eastern Tennessee State University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Resource Management. Although
Mrs. Fulmer has only been with Gordon Biersch for about six months, she has had thirteen years experience in this field of work. She worked as

One of the main responsibilities of a human resource manager is the administering of any benefits offered to the employees. "We have the duty of

together though because I think it does affect the way others think about it. If you've never been in a culturally diverse environment before, then how
might it impact the way you act? Especially in the workplace. So I think that it's good to have people around it now rather than later when it might

not display scholar behavior (e.g. formally greet the participant when entering, was unable to build rapport with the client, and displayed distracting

Adolescent Interview Essay

  • 1. Adolescent Interview Essay Adolescent Interview Teenage years can be a challenging time for many individuals. Beginning at the age of 11 through 20, adolescence is defined as a "transitional period in the human life span, linking childhood and adulthood" (Santrock 2009). At this point, the person is no longer a child, but not yet an adult. This makes it a very critical and sensitive time frame for identity formation. According to Erik Erikson, adolescence is marked by the child's questioning his or her identity during what he refers to as the identity versus identity confusion developmental stage. During this phase, the adolescent becomes mindful of his or her identity and seeks his or her purpose in life, as well as the answer to the eternal question, "who...show more content... They are all currently freshmen at Warren Township High School. Some of the subjects they are studying include biology, English, geometry, history, and health. Although at times they are overwhelmed with the amount of homework from each class, they are still able to keep up and maintain above average grades. All of their peers, including those with the same age in their neighborhood currently go to school. After high school, they all plan on going to college and major in nursing, much like their mothers, father and older siblings. Based on their responses, their current identity status is that of foreclosure. This is because their mother, father and other siblings are nurses, and so they feel compelled or pressured to continue the nursing tradition in their families. They all admitted to not have experienced a crisis yet, nor being in the midst of one. The five teenagers that I interviewed do not currently work. Their main focus is school, as it should be. However, they stated that if given the opportunity, they would like to take up a job so that they could start saving money for themselves and to help out their families with their expenses. They do not seem to have too many responsibilities given to them by their parents, aside from doing household chores and maintaining decent grades in school. Even though their parents allowed them with some autonomy, they do not take this for granted. They still obtain permission Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Nurse Interview Essay Master's–Prepared Nurse Interview Grand Canyon University Theoretical Foundation for Nursing Roles and Practice NUR–502 May 23, 2012 Master's–Prepared Nurse Interview With the rapid growth in the implementation and use of electronic medical records, there is an increase in how we define the role of nurses and other team member's (Deese & Stien, 2004). Along with providing optimal care, nurses are also responsible for interpreting and accurately documenting large amounts of information. According to, (Ericksen, 2009) nursing informatics is defined as the integration of nursing, its information, and information management with information processing and communication technology to support the health of people worldwide.

Primarily she is responsible for obtaining data such as: patient demographics, laboratory work, radiology, and appointment utilization, from multiple data banks within the military hospital. Shadow her for a week and you will see her in a variety of roles. Some days she may present a brief to the executive team; another day you may find her mentoring a nurse on how to build a disease management database ("Nursing Informatics as a Career," 2011). On another day she might be evaluating a consumer–based web education program. The following is one example of what at typical project for her may look like, Dr. A may request information on clinical outcomes on diabetes care for the patients on their panel. After extracting the data, she then transforms it in to information that is useful for example, one list may show all diabetic patients that are missing annual eye exams. Another example may include helping a provider examine new cost–effective technologies like hand held devices. Pearls of Wisdom In the interview the question about any advice she wanted to offer was asked, with a big smile on her face, I am sure, she responded that the field is "wide open" ("Nursing Informatics as a Career," 2011) she continued on to say, if you are a self–starter it Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Essay On Informational Interview Informational Interview Report The person who I conducted my informational interview was Chang Wang, Esq. I was acquainted with Mr. Chang Wang through a class he taught at the University of Minnesota. Professor Wang is a man of many professions; he is a lawyer, a professor, an actor and a writer. I could tell that he is extremely accomplished in his many careers through the list of schools he has taught at, awards he has received, the many licenses he's obtained, and the number of publications he has authored. Because of his busy schedule, I contacted him a month before the interview to solidify a schedule with him. I requested half an hour of his time, but he was very generous and gave me over an hour of his company. I wanted to interview Mr. Wang for my assignment because I always wanted to pick his brain and learn more about what he did at Thomson Reuters. Aside from completing this assignment and getting to know more about his work, I also had a different agenda of ultimately requesting a letter of recommendation in the...show more content... Because of the lack of rights in China, he is zealous about the American legal system and is a strong proponent of democracy in China. Whether in his lifetime or after, he truly hopes for a better China with a "rule of law". I think Mr. Wang intentionally decided not to share the technicalities of work because he wanted to share the bigger picture of his work. His approach of sharing the significance of his work reminded me of the parable of the three stonecutters; how the first two stonecutters only saw the individualistic means of their work and how the third stone cutter embraced the broader vision of his work. I don't know if my future career will be the "best" of all the jobs, but I will have to find the significance of what I do and contribute to society someway, somehow with that Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Interview Reflection Paper During the interview I did not summarize until the very end. However, at the end of the conversation I briefly summarized what he had told me about his dilemma with his degree and the progress he told me he was making on working through his ambivalence. Shortly thereafter we got up and left the Veterans Resource Center and we both shook hands and thanked each other for the dialogue. Furthermore, he assured me I helped him bring awareness to his options and the importance of working through the issue. The assurance he gave was unsolicited. Then we parted ways. In my opinion, the interview was a successful opportunity to see how evoking a response from an individual helps them to pull the answers they are looking for from their unconscious mind. It seemed that some of the solutions he found were already there. It took reflecting his words back to him in order for him to become aware of them. The open–ended questions seemed to cause him to dig into his unconscious more so than the reflections. Though the reflections were more of an instantaneous awareness as opposed to the open–ended questions being more laborious for him. However, without the questions to help him to dig for answers, the awareness he seemed to gain may have not been as instantaneous or significant. Seemingly, the more a person digs for information within themselves the more I am able to reflect back to them. Thus, giving the individual a chance to gain more awareness.

Leadership Interview Paper Leadership Interview and Reflection Paper Grand Canyon University LDR–600 Leadership Styles and Development Tiffany Helton April 24, 2013 When interviewing a leader in an organization in order to discover their leadership style one must ask critical questions. I had the opportunity to interview Casey Aguirre who is a Team Manager at the Salem Call Center for T–Mobile. Casey has been with T–Mobile for over 11 years. In this interview we discussed her leadership style, the steps she took to become a leader, her biggest challenges, and her greatest achievements among other things.

She self–professed that she has a Myers Briggs personality type of ESTJ which stands for Extroversion, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging. She focuses on clear direction and setting expectations. She describes herself as competitive in nature and is always looking for areas to become the best in her field. Her biggest challenge that she faced was setting action plans and expectations. She found that her judgmental nature made her somewhat unapproachable. Once she became a Team Manager she had to become more of a hard nose to people that she had built relationships with over the years. She has dove head into developing coaches and site projects to ensure that she retains the title of #1 Manager in the Nation through 2013. Her greatest achievement was claiming this title in 2012. She welcomes feedback from employees and uses that feedback to improve the Salem Center and herself. Reflection I have learned that in this high pressure environment a woman must be at the top of her game to achieve success. She is the only women Team Manager at the Salem, Oregon location. She uses her thinking portion of her personality to gather metrics and calibrate team successes. What surprised me most about Casey, though I have never worked with her personally, she comes across abrasive, but warms quickly to the probing questions that I had for her.

  • 7. Manager Interview Essay I chose to interview Regina Geis, who holds the administrative role as acting supervisor for the County Mental Health adult day program, which provides services for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Ms. Geis has held this position for 15 months. This is her first managerial position within a human service agency. Her style of management has changed over this short period of time. She feels that she is now more direct with her direction with staff. She stated, "Maybe now I come across as a little bit cold. But I have learned that I now have to use the least amount of words to get my point across." Ms. Geis feels that to be an effective leader one must demonstrate with a high level of confidence, "even if I'm unsure of myself,...show more content... She replied with "Linear like Dr. Sprague (agency CEO)." Ms. Geis feels that the communication skills that one must possess in order to make advancements in management are that one must be an effective communicator, know the work environment, and the people you work with. Edmondson (2009) discusses four different basic communication styles. The first style is expressive which have a tendency to speak quickly, focus on the big picture, and have a high energy level. They can be perceived as unpredictable, vain, or excessively jovial. Next are systematic who tend to focus on small details, not on the larger picture, and try to avoid conflicts. The third type listed is sympathetic. These individuals focus on people and relationships. They are good listeners and so concern for everyone's needs. Sympathetics also do not like be at odds with others. Lastly, the fourth communication style identified is directs who generally keep dialogue short and are perceived as a multitaskers. The study recommends that the individual discover her own communication style and adjust the style according to the situation. Grant and Taylor (2014) conducted a study which identified six essential communication traits that can aid women to demonstrate confidence: (1) starting strong, (2) staying succinct, (3) dimensionalizing content, (4) owning voice, (5) controlling movement, and (6) projecting warmth (p. 73).

Native to Ohio, he graduated High School in 1979, he continued his education at Ohio State University from 1982–1986, completing his Masters in Social Work. For the past 24 years, he has served as a Social Worker in the United States Army. In his current position he is responsible for the Department of Social Work Services. Previous positions have included: two assignments as a Division Social Worker, Medical Inpatient Social Worker, Chief of Social Work, Division Chief of Mental Health, Clinical Director of Army Substance Abuse Program, Combat Operation Stress Control Commander, and General Staff...show more content... Social Work Identity Working in a position and fulfilling your duties are not always the same concept. During the interview Captain Geis emphasized several times that "the most important part of this job was the soldier who was supported" (2012). In this effect he embodied the NASW values of service, integrity, human relationships, and worth of the person. These assignments gave him the opportunity to care and direct soldiers, fulfilling both roles as a Social Worker and Officer. As an Army Officer the lines between Social Worker and Officer may have been blurred together but each were an important part of whom he is. A Social Work Officer is not just a Social Worker or an Officer. It is the embodiment of a leader and caregiver; an individual whose career is dedicated to the taking care of soldiers, their families, and the Army itself. This concept may tear at the ideology of the NASW, as several of the ethical guidelines may be skewed as the requirements of the Army culture differ from the civilian counterpart (Tallant & Ryberg, 1999). Principally, a Social Worker strives to take care of the client at all times (National Association of Social Workers, 2008). A major influence and difference for Army Social Workers is the need to take care of the organization primarily. A Social Work Officer will do everything they Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Here are some professional employment tips to help recent college graduates to stand out when searching for a job. "The Real World" Recent graduate students have a hard time adjusting to the "real world" because the way they behaved in college should not be carried on to the work force. The most common mistake inexperienced job seekers make is dressing inappropriately in an interview, where first impressions are critical. According to Tuhro, "You should dress within the appropriate parameters of the title you are interviewing for, with a touch of personal style" (Tuhro, 2014). People judge others...show more content... However, there are still a lot of job opportunities for people, and they need to find the correct and smart way to look for a job. People should put effort into looking for a job and take time to prepare for the job interview. Then, during the interview they should dress appropriately and advertise their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. Lastly, people should cover up all the private information of themselves on social media and use the Internet as a platform to expand their network and brand themselves nicely.

  • 10. Reflective Essay On Interview Experience During the interview I learned various things about how a person who once was dreaming of a career worked hard to make that dream closer and closer to reality. I always thought about jobs as boring, stressful, and tiring ways to make money to sustain one's life. But from this interview experience I have learned that it isn't always and doesn't have to be that way. It is important for someone to pick a job they want to do, and if they don't like it, that's okay as long as they are willing to obtain that burning determination and motivation to study and develop different variety of newly introduced skills to accomplish what they want to do for a living. I realized that working in a job that you don't enjoy doing isn't necessarily bad. Different jobs require different skills and knowledge in different fields/areas. A person who switched jobs multiple times (not because they got fired) has a higher possibility of having more skills and experiences on different types of work, which causes the gap between the doors of opportunity to widen, enabling that person to choose from a wide variety of different job options that they want to do and be content with. From a student's' point of view, just the thought of getting into a job that you dream of seems difficult and challenging. When we look at what we want to do when we grow up, we see a long road ahead of us with constant obstacles of traffic jam (you have to compete with different people who are closer to the destination than you Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 11. Leadership Interview Essay To inspire and influence others, a leader must possess many skills and abilities. As motivational speaker Peter Northouse, states, "a leader should be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant" (Northouse, 2013) Moving an entire group of individuals toward a singular goal is a considerable undertaking. Without effective communication skills and a clear vision of what needs to be accomplished, one will feel like they are trying to herd cats rather than leading. During my interview with Regina Martinez, BS RN and currently an Assistant Director of a home health agency, I discovered herleadership style matched the above quote....show more content... The success the company now enjoys is credited to Martinez's leadership, motivation, caring, and attention to detail. Delivering the medical care to a patient, in the comfort of their own home, by professional, caring medical staff is a much needed service in rural northeast Colorado. Martinez stated that in her past and current position, her goal has been to always lead by example. Martinez adamantly stated she would never ask an employee to do anything she herself was not willing to do. She stated she did not follow a particular leadership style, but has read several leadership and management books, articles and studies to become more effective. Martinez stated the book she references the most is Carl E. Larson and Frank M.J. LaFasto's Teamwork: What Must Go Right/What Can Go Wrong. Through their research they explored the eight properties of successful teams: a clear, elevating goal; a results–driven structure; competent team members; unified commitment; collaborative climate; standards of excellence; external support and recognition; and principled leadership. (Larson & LaFasto, 1989, p.8) Their insights into what makes a team successful have been used by countless leaders as a model for efficient and effective leadership.

  • 12. In-Depth Interview Research Paper For my In–Depth Interview paper, I chose to Interview my co–worker Senada Cufurovic whom I work with at Bank of the West. Senada finds herself culturally diverse as being from another country and culture. As long as I have known Senada from working with her for the past two years, I have never been able to get to know her background from where she came from until this opportunity to interview her came up. When I first was introduced to Senada she had mentioned she was a different ethnicity when she told me that her family and her moved here from Bosnia. This interview gave me a chance to get to know not only my co–worker better, but to better understand the value of diversity amongst those who come from a different cultural background. As I started the In–Depth Interview with Senada, I started to ask the general questions of her background. Senada informed me that her general background that involves her general beliefs on religion, culture,...show more content... Senada has three children which were all born in the United States, but Senada and her Husband came over to America together before starting a family and a career. Both Senada and her Husband became citizens of America, and were able to start a successful life with one another despite the ethical challenges they had to face along the way. Senada gave me a lot of insight on herself, as she explained how she identifies herself through her ethnic background, and surrounding culture. When she came to America, she brought her Bosnian roots with her. Senada had to learn to adapt to a new way of living in America by adjusting to living in a diverse community. When I asked Senada what her biggest adjustment was living in this country and communicating with those amongst her diverse community was learning how to speak English, because most of her life she spoke Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. A Interview With An Interview Essay *For the purpose of this assignment and to keep the privacy of participates, the interviewee will be addressed as such, or as Person A. The purpose of the assignment was to interview another person and record it, then later analyze how well you used interview techniques. The interview was to last fifteen minutes and discuss why your interviewee had decided to choose a career in the health field. General Aspects of an Interview Overall, the interview was accomplished with few complications. There was definitely areas of the interview that need attending to, and there were areas in which I excelled. The dyadic interview started with an opening statement. I attempted to make Person A feel comfortable by asking a simple question of "How are you today?" I believe I made Person A feel as comfortable as possible in front of a camera and build a rapport. I could have asked one or two more easy questions to lighten the mood. I was nervous being in front of a camera especially for an assignment worth a large portion of my grade. When I'm nervous I sometimes bite my lip and unfortunately throughout the interview I chewed my lip. This could have made Person A feel awkward if she took it in uncomfortable way. The listening aspect of the interview I believe I did very well in. I gave attention to what Person A was saying and tried to ask questions that allowed her to elaborate, although there were a few instances that I missed the opportunity. I also tried to write some notes down Get more content on HelpWriting.net

He is currently trying to achieve citizenship, but is encountering problems with actually achieving it. He has since been here on a work visa, which allows him to stay in the US for an extended period of time. He says he will continue the work he is doing in Mississippi.

When I asked about an outstanding role model, he said his mother has been his rock though his transition. He always calls her throughout the week, just to hear her voice. He said community in Guatemala is a tighter knit community, compared to the US. He mentioned the sense of individualism in America. He still has a hard time understanding this mindset since it's such a polar opposite of his hometown. Juan realized he wanted to leave Guatemala in 2006 and spent that time to make his way to the US. He originally came to the US to become a priest. He made his way to the US when a position as a priest opened up. I asked Juan the hardest thing about moving to America. He said it was learning English. He arrived to the Jackson airport knowing no English at all. The first weeks for Juan were extremely difficult for him. Once he arrived to the University of New Orleans, he began an intensive English class in order to learn the language. He learned the language in about a year and could actually hold a conversation. Juan's time as priest was a difficult task as he expressed in the interview. He had to juggle many responsibilities and at the same time make many different people happy.

  • 15. Intercultural Interview Essay For the intercultural interview, I decided to interview my friend Medelyn, a 19 year old female of Honduran and Mexican descent. During the interview, I focused on her Honduran culture, as she was born in Honduras, I asked her a multitude of various questions ranging from formalities in her culture to gender roles to classism in her culture.. The interview lasted about twenty minutes, I asked her about fifteen questions, and after she answered each question there would be a small discussion about her answer. When interviewing Medelyn, it was important to rid myself of any ethnocentrism, assumed cultural similarity or differences, stereotyping, and anything that could create a bias and compromise the interview. I started of the interview...show more content... Stating that "There is a lot of inequality and everyone has a place in society." Subsequently, I followed with a question inquiring whether Honduras was more of a masculine or feminine society. Masculine societies tend to focus on competition, strength and dominance, contrarily, feminine societies have a tendency to concentrate on being caring and supportive. Medelyn described Honduras as a place where relationships tended to be more caring, traditional and supportive. My next question was about individualism and whether or not Honduras was more of an individualist or collectivist society. Individualist cultures, as stated in Chapter 3, "Value personal rights and responsibilities, privacy, voicing one's opinion, freedom, innovation and self expression.", while collectivities cultures "value community, collaboration, shared interests, harmony, the public good, and avoiding embarrassment." Medelyn described Honduras as "A place where being loyal to the community is valued and there is shared blame and responsibilities.", which would mean Honduras is more of a collectivist society, given the description of community being valued rather than individuals, meaning that people care for the welfare of the society. Context was the subject of my next question, figuring out whether Honduras was a low or high context society was what I inquired from Medelyn. "A lot of communication is done by hand signals, body movements, Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 18. Diversity Interview Paper For this paper I chose to interview Gio Rodriguez. He is different from me because he is of Latino decent, was born in Mexico, and is a first generation college student.

He said the he thinks diversity is many people with different backgrounds, races, religions, languages and social standings come together in a group. I then asked him what he thought about the diversity at Washburn. He said that he thinks Washburn has some diversity, but not as much as many other places, such as in other countries. My next question was what is it like being a first generation college student? He said that he feels that there is a lot of pressure on him to succeed and get a degree because he doesn't want to disappoint his parents, but at the...show more content... I don't believe that diversity in Washburn has changed the way I act or think because I've always been in a somewhat diverse environment my whole life. Growing up I've always been taught to respect other cultures and not to see difference as a bad thing. I do like the diverse environment all together though because I think it does affect the way others think about it. If you've never been in a culturally diverse environment before, then how might it impact the way you act? Especially in the workplace. So I think that it's good to have people around it now rather than later when it might matter even more how they act about Get more content on HelpWriting.net
