An Interview with a Speech Pathology
During my interview with Speech Pathologist, Deborah Kirsch, I learned countless details about the Speech Pathology career field. When we first
began talking, I learned that Mrs. Kirsch works out of a company called "Professional Therapy Services", where she is contracted out to work for
"Eunice Smith Nursing Home" which is located in Alton, Illinois. She has been working at this facility for about a year. She is a newly found
graduate from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and she graduated in May 2011. Another thing that I learned about Mrs. Kirsch is that
she originally did not go to school to become a speech pathologist, this was a career that she found later in life. After she had graduated from SIUE,
the first time with a bachelors in Psychiatry, she started working at a nursing home around this area. She came to know a Speech Pathologist that
worked there and she quickly found the field very fascinating. She had always been driven to help others, and she witnessed some of the exercises
being done with individuals at the nursing home and decided to go back to school to get her masters in Speech Pathology. Mrs. Kirsch also shared
with me that she thought that the best and the worst parts of this career where the same thing. She said that she really enjoyed helping other people
after strokes, or with other cognitive issues, and she even really liked talking to the families. Yet, the worst part about it was that, there is only so much

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

Personal Experience During an Interview Essay
When I think of the word interview I think of it as a series of questions asked from one person to another to seek information. In my previous
assessment we were asked to interview a fellow peer, on their personal experience of QIBT so far this year. We were not given any question, but
made to think of our own. As we were interviewing our peer another peer was marking us on our overall ability to interview. This piece of reflective
writing will be an explanation of what I thought my personal strengths and weaknesses were throughout my interview.
Through reflecting on my previous interview I was able to pull apart both positives and negatives aspects of my interview allowing myself time to look
into the effects that the negative...show more content...
Whilst the open ended questions allowed deeper responses as spoken about above it was also evident that these questions allowed Mary Doe to feel
comfortable throughout the interview as she was allowed to express her own open thought rather than having a written script of multiple smaller closed
ended questions. REF
The safe environment was carried through the whole interview. I concluded the interview by asking Mary Doe if she had any concerns or further
questions she would like to talk about. This continues the safe environment feel, which I created throughout the whole interview.
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

Effective recruitment interviewing
It is essential in the first instance to outline our terms of reference. Specifically, what do we mean by effective recruitment interviewing? It can be
posited that the effectiveness of an interview process lies in its ability to identify those candidates who most closely match the requirements of the post
applied for. Innumerable recruitment decisions have been made on the basis of interpersonal chemistry between interviewer and candidate; some of
these decisions will be successful, others will result in the failure of an unsuitable candidate. The aim of the recruitment interview should be to
maximise the likelihood of a successful selection decision. In order to achieve this in a way that is...show more content...
A well thought–out interview structure will promote a number of important features within the interview process, including equality, consistency,
objectivity and fairness. Equality and consistency are achieved through a solid, standardised interview template or matrix since candidates are treated
in the same manner, and are asked the same or similar questions in order to elicit the desired information. Objectivity is gained through a direct
comparison of candidates' responses. For most candidates, there is a prevailing sense of fairness and transparency to a structured interview process. This
is evidenced by the statistical decrease in the likelihood of a legal challenge to a structure driven selection decision: "...methods most likely to be
challenged in proportion to their use are ...unstructured interviews (200%)...structured interviews (50%) were least likely to be challenged."
(Robertson, Smith 2001).
This structured, specification–based interview is the method employed within my company, Scott Jardine , which not only aids our selection process,
but allows us to demonstrate to clients' satisfaction why we have made certain decisions about candidates' suitability. With the information gleaned
from having this standardised,

Descriptive Essay On Interview
Location
For the three interviews, I went to a coffeeshop, an apartment, and an office. I decided on going to a coffee shop for the first interview because it
was a public place and to be honest, I really wanted coffee that morning. It was a great place to feel relaxed and at home with the interview which I
believe translated into a better interview. I felt a lot more comfortable asking different questions and the interviewee felt more comfortable with
sharing information that might be considered more personal. The only compliant I would have with the coffee shop was the audio recording quality
since it was a little noisy. The second location was the apartment of the lawyer. It was one of the first times I met him so I was a little worried at first
going into his home alone but he had a nice dog and was super friendly. The home–like atmosphere made it a lot more comfortable on both ends to talk
and share information that might otherwise been held back. The audio quality was great considering it was a lot more quiet of a place. You can
really hear the difference in the quality. The final interview was in a law office close to campus. I loved how close to campus it was which made it
easy to commute to. Doing interviews in the office made it seem a lot more professional. While the interviewee was very comfortable in the office, I
was not. He was sitting behind a giant wooden desk which made things seem like he was in charge even though he was the interviewee. It made things

Interview Evaluation Essay
Evaluation of interview one
In reviewing interview one the vignette presented numerous ethical dilemmas when conducting a research study. The interviewer, Dr. Crawford, did
not display scholar behavior (e.g. formally greet the participant when entering, was unable to build rapport with the client, and displayed distracting
movement) as a result the participant was anxious during the interview (Laureate Education, 2010). The interview did not provide an accurate
descriptive of work place moral.
Interview one best practice and issues
The best part of the vignette is the selection of the site. The interviewer selected to conduct her study at the places of employment of the participant.
The researcher placed the participant at risk for physical harm due to she could have stumbled over the electrical cord causing physical harm. The
American Psychology Association (2010) mentions researcher is to minimize harm where it is foreseeable and unavoidable. Responsive interview

It appears the researcher was study last minute to fulfill her graduation requirements. The researcher mannerism was careless and her study failed to
capture the vividness of moral in the work place.
Evaluation of interview two
Vignette two illustrated the proper methods of conducting a qualitative research interview. The researcher greeted the participant which was warm and
welcoming. The interviewer followed the standards according to the code of ethic of reminding the participant of the informed consent of the study
(e.g. the purpose of the research, expected duration, and procedures) and the uses of recording voices and images (APA, 2010). The researcher
questions were well thought out which allowed to participant to covey her narrative, as it allowed the interviewer to ask probing questions to provide

I actually enjoyed doing this mock interview. During the mock interview, overall I felt pretty comfortable and confident. I think the biggest thing I
learned from the mock interview is to give more detail in my responses to the interviewer's questions. When answering a question from the interviewer
I should answer the question just as if I was writing it in an essay. Restate the question but with an answer, give a reason or example to support my
answer, and then conclude my response by tying the information together. Good listening and eye contact are a few communication skills came into
play during my interview. I also learned that I have to be more direct when answering a question and state more evidence to support my answers. If I

Reflection And Reflection Of Interview
Reflection of interview I've had quite the learning experience over the last few weeks. I had a chance to obtain valuable information and support
from my principal. I learned so much about the administration role and how difficult it can be. When I began my interview, I felt overwhelmed
and excited at the same time. My principal is also my mentor; she has been very supportive of me pursuing my dreams to be in administrator. As I
conducted my interview I learned so much about the principal's role. I asked my principal a series of questions. The questions were based on the
Interstate School Leadership Licensure Consortium Standards (ISLLC). My first question was based on educational programs. The educational
programs at any school need balance. While we live in a test results world, there needs to be a balance of focus. I look at the type of student I want
my school to produce and I surround myself with a faculty and other staffs that not only share in the mission, but also will help every student
succeed. In addition, as an administrator, I need to provide my faculty and staff with the tools and resources necessary to make everyone feel
successful. Each year the school's mission and goals needs to revisit and a plan of action needs to be executed in order to effectively manage and
improve educational programs. When asked about new teachers and veteran teachers, the principal expressed that she is very supportive of mentoring
new and veteran teachers. I think each new

Reliability And Validity Of Interviews Essay
Then turn to interviews. Interviews are classed as a qualitative research method and remain one of the most utilised research methods in industrial and
HRM research. Whipp (1998, p.55) notes that "The interview is the primary means of accessing the experiences and subjective views of actors". The
main advantage of the interviews is that the rich data can be obtained from an interview. According to White (1989) the research into solicitor's
perceptions of ACAS was relatively easy to set up and forty interviews are completed for five months. It is necessary to use interviews to gain more
detailed, in–depth explanations from participants, which may provide a much better understanding of their perceptions and actions. On the other hand,
The time consuming nature of preparing, arranging, conducting and writing up interview, which refers to that it is probable only a limited number of
research participants can be interviewed within a short time period may be the biggest disadvantage of the interviews.
There are three main formats of the interviews, which are structured interviews, non–standard interviews and the last...show more content...
Moreover, the information will be provided about use of data, and the information will be kept safely and not provided to other parties. Punch (1998,
p.166) states that "An understanding of this area needs to be rooted in knowledge of a number of studies that have given rise to moral and ethical
questions". The reliability and validity of any research conducted are clearly of importance. Reliability is a less problematic concept, which for the
purposes of small–scale research projects, can be addressed through careful design of interview or survey questions to reduce ambiguities. Bell (2010,
p.119) states that "validity is an altogether more complex concept". Validity is more complicated since it is harder to establish whether fieldwork
research can paint a true picture of what is being

Essay on Interview With a Friend
Interview with A Friend
When thinking of people I could possibly interview, and then deciding that most of them wouldn't be very interesting, I decided to interview a friend
of mine. N.H. At first glance he seems like any other 15 year old but once you get to know him, you'll soon realize that, that isn't the case.
Firstly he's moved around and experienced more things then most people his age, even most people in general, and has developed a unique
personality because of this. N. was born in 1985, in Finland but moved shortly afterwards to England and then again moved after only a few years to
Malawi in Africa. The reason for them moving was that his father's job bored him. He basically grew up as an ex pat in Africa and even...show more

The one dog actually ran up to one of the armed men wagging his tail, almost as if he wanted them to play with him," N. laughs, "soon afterwards we
moved to England realizing that we couldn't spend the rest of our lives in an environment like that."
N. hated England. He was used to the warm climate of Malawi, and in a way, missed his old life. Seeing as both his mum and dad had to work, N.
was sent to a boarding school which he despised. "It was the worst time of my life, I simply did not like it," while shaking his head, but then he
looks up and starts smiling, "I did have a few good times with some friends I had made there, like this one time we were playing softball and I
whacked the ball into a window. We all blamed this one Irish guy that we all hated." He had a smirk on his face while he said that, but it wasn't
always like that. "One thing I do regret though, was that I was a push over. Looking back, I could've been a lot more assertive instead of taking the
piss like I usually did back then." Fortunately, N. isn't like that anymore. As I'm interviewing him, it's obvious he has a strong self–confidence.
Once again, N. moved with his parents but this time it was to Denmark. He's been living In Copenhagen for the past 5 years and says he enjoys the
"freedom" he's never had. "Growing up in places like Africa and then going to a boarding school in England, you were never allowed to just go into

Interview with a Social Worker Essay

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

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

Preparing for an Interview Essay
Interviewing is a selling situation. It involves the exchange of information and building of personal chemistry. It's not only what you say that's
important but how you say it. There are seven key things you can do to build a positive rapport.
Research can help build chemistry
The first step for building a rapport is to research the company in advance. If you've ever met someone who knew a lot about you, it kind of takes you
by surprise, doesn't it? It is a great way to make a positive first impression.
A friend of mine, has built a consulting business on the fact that he does research ahead of time. His clients tell him that he wins their business because
he knows a lot more about them than anyone else. So make it your...show more content...
Build chemistry by paying sincere compliments
Before the interview, read or talk to people about the company and uncover some good things to say. Somewhere in those first few minutes, find the
opportunity to pay a real compliment.
You can compliment their facilities, people, products, advertising, public relations or anything else. What ever you do, be specific. Don't just say that
people you know are impressed by the product. Talk about why they are impressed. Maybe it's that new product they added this year, or the designs
they have adapted.
By giving details, you show that you have given it some thought and that your complement is not just empty flattery.
Build chemistry in the way you answer questions
The way you answer questions has more to do with building positive chemistry than with what you say. He could use the standard...tell me about
yourself and you could begin by talking about the kind of person you, but that may not be what the interviewer is interested in. You could say, "Mr.
Jones, I'd be happy to tell you about myself, and I suppose you are most interested in my work experience."
When you self–qualify like that, you give the interviewer plenty of opportunity to respond, and to direct the conversation toward some other area, if
that's not what he or she is really interested in.
Answer questions with good, action–oriented stories. If you fail to tell a story,

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

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

An Interview With A Speech Pathology

  • 1. An Interview with a Speech Pathology During my interview with Speech Pathologist, Deborah Kirsch, I learned countless details about the Speech Pathology career field. When we first began talking, I learned that Mrs. Kirsch works out of a company called "Professional Therapy Services", where she is contracted out to work for "Eunice Smith Nursing Home" which is located in Alton, Illinois. She has been working at this facility for about a year. She is a newly found graduate from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and she graduated in May 2011. Another thing that I learned about Mrs. Kirsch is that she originally did not go to school to become a speech pathologist, this was a career that she found later in life. After she had graduated from SIUE, the first time with a bachelors in Psychiatry, she started working at a nursing home around this area. She came to know a Speech Pathologist that worked there and she quickly found the field very fascinating. She had always been driven to help others, and she witnessed some of the exercises being done with individuals at the nursing home and decided to go back to school to get her masters in Speech Pathology. Mrs. Kirsch also shared with me that she thought that the best and the worst parts of this career where the same thing. She said that she really enjoyed helping other people after strokes, or with other cognitive issues, and she even really liked talking to the families. Yet, the worst part about it was that, there is only so much that you can do for Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. 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
  • 3. Personal Experience During an Interview Essay When I think of the word interview I think of it as a series of questions asked from one person to another to seek information. In my previous assessment we were asked to interview a fellow peer, on their personal experience of QIBT so far this year. We were not given any question, but made to think of our own. As we were interviewing our peer another peer was marking us on our overall ability to interview. This piece of reflective writing will be an explanation of what I thought my personal strengths and weaknesses were throughout my interview. Through reflecting on my previous interview I was able to pull apart both positives and negatives aspects of my interview allowing myself time to look into the effects that the negative...show more content... Whilst the open ended questions allowed deeper responses as spoken about above it was also evident that these questions allowed Mary Doe to feel comfortable throughout the interview as she was allowed to express her own open thought rather than having a written script of multiple smaller closed ended questions. REF The safe environment was carried through the whole interview. I concluded the interview by asking Mary Doe if she had any concerns or further questions she would like to talk about. This continues the safe environment feel, which I created throughout the whole interview. 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 Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Effective recruitment interviewing It is essential in the first instance to outline our terms of reference. Specifically, what do we mean by effective recruitment interviewing? It can be posited that the effectiveness of an interview process lies in its ability to identify those candidates who most closely match the requirements of the post applied for. Innumerable recruitment decisions have been made on the basis of interpersonal chemistry between interviewer and candidate; some of these decisions will be successful, others will result in the failure of an unsuitable candidate. The aim of the recruitment interview should be to maximise the likelihood of a successful selection decision. In order to achieve this in a way that is...show more content... A well thought–out interview structure will promote a number of important features within the interview process, including equality, consistency, objectivity and fairness. Equality and consistency are achieved through a solid, standardised interview template or matrix since candidates are treated in the same manner, and are asked the same or similar questions in order to elicit the desired information. Objectivity is gained through a direct comparison of candidates' responses. For most candidates, there is a prevailing sense of fairness and transparency to a structured interview process. This is evidenced by the statistical decrease in the likelihood of a legal challenge to a structure driven selection decision: "...methods most likely to be challenged in proportion to their use are ...unstructured interviews (200%)...structured interviews (50%) were least likely to be challenged." (Robertson, Smith 2001). This structured, specification–based interview is the method employed within my company, Scott Jardine , which not only aids our selection process, but allows us to demonstrate to clients' satisfaction why we have made certain decisions about candidates' suitability. With the information gleaned from having this standardised, Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Descriptive Essay On Interview Location For the three interviews, I went to a coffeeshop, an apartment, and an office. I decided on going to a coffee shop for the first interview because it was a public place and to be honest, I really wanted coffee that morning. It was a great place to feel relaxed and at home with the interview which I believe translated into a better interview. I felt a lot more comfortable asking different questions and the interviewee felt more comfortable with sharing information that might be considered more personal. The only compliant I would have with the coffee shop was the audio recording quality since it was a little noisy. The second location was the apartment of the lawyer. It was one of the first times I met him so I was a little worried at first going into his home alone but he had a nice dog and was super friendly. The home–like atmosphere made it a lot more comfortable on both ends to talk and share information that might otherwise been held back. The audio quality was great considering it was a lot more quiet of a place. You can really hear the difference in the quality. The final interview was in a law office close to campus. I loved how close to campus it was which made it easy to commute to. Doing interviews in the office made it seem a lot more professional. While the interviewee was very comfortable in the office, I was not. He was sitting behind a giant wooden desk which made things seem like he was in charge even though he was the interviewee. It made things Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. Interview Evaluation Essay Evaluation of interview one In reviewing interview one the vignette presented numerous ethical dilemmas when conducting a research study. The interviewer, Dr. Crawford, did not display scholar behavior (e.g. formally greet the participant when entering, was unable to build rapport with the client, and displayed distracting movement) as a result the participant was anxious during the interview (Laureate Education, 2010). The interview did not provide an accurate descriptive of work place moral. Interview one best practice and issues The best part of the vignette is the selection of the site. The interviewer selected to conduct her study at the places of employment of the participant. The researcher placed the participant at risk for physical harm due to she could have stumbled over the electrical cord causing physical harm. The American Psychology Association (2010) mentions researcher is to minimize harm where it is foreseeable and unavoidable. Responsive interview emphasizes the importance of...show more content... It appears the researcher was study last minute to fulfill her graduation requirements. The researcher mannerism was careless and her study failed to capture the vividness of moral in the work place. Evaluation of interview two Vignette two illustrated the proper methods of conducting a qualitative research interview. The researcher greeted the participant which was warm and welcoming. The interviewer followed the standards according to the code of ethic of reminding the participant of the informed consent of the study (e.g. the purpose of the research, expected duration, and procedures) and the uses of recording voices and images (APA, 2010). The researcher questions were well thought out which allowed to participant to covey her narrative, as it allowed the interviewer to ask probing questions to provide an in–depth interview. Interview one best practice and Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. Mock Interview Essay I actually enjoyed doing this mock interview. During the mock interview, overall I felt pretty comfortable and confident. I think the biggest thing I learned from the mock interview is to give more detail in my responses to the interviewer's questions. When answering a question from the interviewer I should answer the question just as if I was writing it in an essay. Restate the question but with an answer, give a reason or example to support my answer, and then conclude my response by tying the information together. Good listening and eye contact are a few communication skills came into play during my interview. I also learned that I have to be more direct when answering a question and state more evidence to support my answers. If I answer Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Reflection And Reflection Of Interview Reflection of interview I've had quite the learning experience over the last few weeks. I had a chance to obtain valuable information and support from my principal. I learned so much about the administration role and how difficult it can be. When I began my interview, I felt overwhelmed and excited at the same time. My principal is also my mentor; she has been very supportive of me pursuing my dreams to be in administrator. As I conducted my interview I learned so much about the principal's role. I asked my principal a series of questions. The questions were based on the Interstate School Leadership Licensure Consortium Standards (ISLLC). My first question was based on educational programs. The educational programs at any school need balance. While we live in a test results world, there needs to be a balance of focus. I look at the type of student I want my school to produce and I surround myself with a faculty and other staffs that not only share in the mission, but also will help every student succeed. In addition, as an administrator, I need to provide my faculty and staff with the tools and resources necessary to make everyone feel successful. Each year the school's mission and goals needs to revisit and a plan of action needs to be executed in order to effectively manage and improve educational programs. When asked about new teachers and veteran teachers, the principal expressed that she is very supportive of mentoring new and veteran teachers. I think each new Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Reliability And Validity Of Interviews Essay Then turn to interviews. Interviews are classed as a qualitative research method and remain one of the most utilised research methods in industrial and HRM research. Whipp (1998, p.55) notes that "The interview is the primary means of accessing the experiences and subjective views of actors". The main advantage of the interviews is that the rich data can be obtained from an interview. According to White (1989) the research into solicitor's perceptions of ACAS was relatively easy to set up and forty interviews are completed for five months. It is necessary to use interviews to gain more detailed, in–depth explanations from participants, which may provide a much better understanding of their perceptions and actions. On the other hand, The time consuming nature of preparing, arranging, conducting and writing up interview, which refers to that it is probable only a limited number of research participants can be interviewed within a short time period may be the biggest disadvantage of the interviews. There are three main formats of the interviews, which are structured interviews, non–standard interviews and the last...show more content... Moreover, the information will be provided about use of data, and the information will be kept safely and not provided to other parties. Punch (1998, p.166) states that "An understanding of this area needs to be rooted in knowledge of a number of studies that have given rise to moral and ethical questions". The reliability and validity of any research conducted are clearly of importance. Reliability is a less problematic concept, which for the purposes of small–scale research projects, can be addressed through careful design of interview or survey questions to reduce ambiguities. Bell (2010, p.119) states that "validity is an altogether more complex concept". Validity is more complicated since it is harder to establish whether fieldwork research can paint a true picture of what is being Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Essay on Interview With a Friend Interview with A Friend When thinking of people I could possibly interview, and then deciding that most of them wouldn't be very interesting, I decided to interview a friend of mine. N.H. At first glance he seems like any other 15 year old but once you get to know him, you'll soon realize that, that isn't the case. Firstly he's moved around and experienced more things then most people his age, even most people in general, and has developed a unique personality because of this. N. was born in 1985, in Finland but moved shortly afterwards to England and then again moved after only a few years to Malawi in Africa. The reason for them moving was that his father's job bored him. He basically grew up as an ex pat in Africa and even...show more content... The one dog actually ran up to one of the armed men wagging his tail, almost as if he wanted them to play with him," N. laughs, "soon afterwards we moved to England realizing that we couldn't spend the rest of our lives in an environment like that." N. hated England. He was used to the warm climate of Malawi, and in a way, missed his old life. Seeing as both his mum and dad had to work, N. was sent to a boarding school which he despised. "It was the worst time of my life, I simply did not like it," while shaking his head, but then he looks up and starts smiling, "I did have a few good times with some friends I had made there, like this one time we were playing softball and I whacked the ball into a window. We all blamed this one Irish guy that we all hated." He had a smirk on his face while he said that, but it wasn't always like that. "One thing I do regret though, was that I was a push over.

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).

Somewhere in those first few minutes, find the opportunity to pay a real compliment. You can compliment their facilities, people, products, advertising, public relations or anything else. What ever you do, be specific. Don't just say that people you know are impressed by the product. Talk about why they are impressed.

By giving details, you show that you have given it some thought and that your complement is not just empty flattery.

He said community in Guatemala is a tighter knit community, compared to the US. He mentioned the sense of individualism in America.
