Personal Interview of a Friend Essay
I interview my friend, Tim F. Mr. F was born on January 08, 1976 Cleveland, Ohio to M. J. and J. F.
Mr. F. prefers to be addressed as Tim. He is mixed, Tim's mother is mixed with black and white and
his father is black. His dad left them when he was twelve years old but still came around every now
and again. She remarried when he was eighteen. He is an African American male at the age of
twenty–eight. He came from a middle class family, but his had more money than she leaded him
believe. He was an only child but he had plenty aunt and uncles to go around. His mother came from
a big family. She had three older brothers, two younger sisters and a younger brother. She was the
middle child. Having three older brothers they always were harder

That was the last straw for her, Mr. F elaborate on how he tried to explained, and tell what all was
said but she did not want to hear it. She gave him a serve whipping and locked him in his bedroom
with only his bed to sleep in. No T.V., phone and games, nothing that he could or would enjoy for
some time playing with. That is when he felt that the only person at the time he could ever trust
betrayed him. That why he spoils Nicole, because he wants her to have a better life than he did. But
many times Nicole will ask for something and her father knows she does not need it but he will give
it to her anyway. Nicole knows that her father is a push over and personally that is why I
think that she wants to live with him other that her mother. When it comes to giving Nicole anything
she wants, she got to get it.
Mr. F likes to make up excuses on why Nicole needs unnecessary items. Once when going to the
store, Nicole wanted a very large pack of gum and I looked at him as if she did not need it and he
replied "it keeps her quiet at home." Nicole has enough things at home to keep her quiet, but it is
like he just can not say no to her. Nicole knows when she is with me; it is a limit on what she can
get. And if and when she gets an attitude she knows I will put her back in her place quick and fast.
Mr. F knows how I am about how he spoils Nicole.

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,

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 authors found that the way a women talks about her accomplishments have

Selection Interview Essay
Selection Interview
"Selection is increasingly important as more attention is paid to the costs of poor selection, and as
reduced job mobility means that selection errors are likely to stay with the organization for longer."
(Torrington and Hall, 1998, p221)
The selection decision has always been important as the way for a company to obtain the human
resource that is appropriate for the job and company. There are many methods for selection such as:
testing, advertising, completing application form, screening, corresponding with the prospective
employee. Among these, the two principal selection methods, which most are used, are application
forms, and interviews. In fact, it is not just one selection method used in practice. Generally,

For the applicant
, the main purpose of the selection interview is to get the information, which can
help he/she to make an informed decision of whether to accept the job.
Selection interview enhances the reliability of pre–process (such as application form and reference
test). As above, the reliabilities of application form and reference need to be proved. "Actions speak
louder than words", a skilled interviewer can find some attestations form the feedback and
behaviour of the applicant. It is also an opportunity for both ends to clarify misunderstands between
them.
Some functions that other methods cannot instead. In an interview, some assessment like the
potential compatibility of two people who will have to work together cannot be approached by any
other way. The interview, therefore, is valuable in that the way to both potential employee and
potential employer.
Application form on the other hand provides preliminary information about candidates that will help
further selections especially for interview. It makes the selection procedure easier and encourages
interviewer to use those forms as the basic information for their interview. It saves the time spent in
the interview, and makes it more pertinent. As employers pay more attention to the validity of
interviews for employment purposes, the application forms are increasing used as one of the ways of
improving the quality of

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,

Examples Of Interview Essay
The subject of my interview was Juan Chavay. He was born and raised in small village close to the
mountains. The actual name was not mentioned by Juan, but he emphasized on a small, remote
village. He came to America in 2009 and has been here since. 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. I wanted to look at how he transitioned from one
country to another. I also looked at if he felt in racial tension or hostility as an immigrant in the
south. I also focused on the concept of community in the US compared to Guatemalan
community.

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.

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. In this

Present Position What she likes most about her job is that there aren't any typical days. 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

Critique A Mock Interview
The mock interview assignment was a great experience for me and I felt well–prepared to complete
the interviewing process to the best of my ability. There were times I felt anxious through the Skype
interviewing process, because I do struggle with anxiety. However, I felt comfortable enough with
Ms. Burton to share my weaknesses. My mock interview was focused toward graduate school and I
could discuss my specific challenges with test anxiety. I remained upfront and honest with Ms.
Burton about my test anxiety, but gave her vital solutions that I am using to help manage this issue. I
was surprised about the amount of time it took me to complete my interview. I completed my
interview in such a short duration of time, but it felt like I was

Interview with a Social Worker Essay
Background Information Captain Rob Geis agreed to be interviewed and share his experiences with
the next generation of Social Workers. 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

Mock Interview Reflection
I did my mock interview on Thursday at 10:30 with Hallie Rathbun a career staff member at the
career services center. I was very nervous because I have never done it before. I practiced answering
the questions that I found on the website with my roommates and Karen Student United Association
club adviser to help prepare me for the interview. I tried to relax as much as I could before the
interview. After done with the interview, a staff member told me that I did really well in telling a
story about myself. I talked about my personal issue that motivated me to become a registered nurse
.
When I answer the questions, I gave her examples, so that she could understand what I am telling
her. She said she like when I talked about my strengths and

When I talked about the leadership role, I didn't give her specific things about what I do as a leader.
The hardest question that I received was "tell me about a time when you made a mistake and what
you did to correct it." I didn't prepare the answer for this question during practices so I have to come
up with the idea to answer this question. I talked about my experiences working with the residents in
the nursing home. There was a time when I forgot to fill out the information about the residents who
participate in playing bingo game and who don't. I talked to a staff member that I forgot to fill out
the information and asked her to double check the information when I give the sheet back to her. I
talked to the residents before the bingo game, filled out the information later, and gave it to a staff
member. I couldn't think of any other example to explain this question.
The overall experience of mock interview was great. It turned out really well than I thought
. I
thought I might do badly when I answer the questions. I worried that I will make mistakes and
couldn't answer the questions during the interview. The feedbacks that I received from a staff
member can help me with my future interview preparation. Her feedbacks gave me more idea of
how to answer the questions, make it more professional, and persuade

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

Esl Teacher Interview Paper
Michelle Snyder ESL Teacher Interview TE 826 Dr. Glenn Tracy 2–22–12 My person that I
interviewed is very unique besides being a very good teacher. She had received the honor of being
selected 'Teacher of the Year" a few years back here at Perkins County Schools (Grant, NE), so I
knew her methods and strategies were tried and true. She has several different hats in our school
system with English Language Learner (ELL) being just one part. She was asked to work with/for
me in this program with our high school ELL students while I concentrated on Elementary and
Middle School. She is in charge of the district's Speech department which has also had great

Constantly being around different types of people and different languages, Tate came to believe this
as her way of life and so then wanted to learn more about these cultures and teach/help these people.
In all of her experience with different diversities, she says she believes students from China are
superb. Not to say anything negative about other cultures but Chinese students would come to
school, at any level, with a strong desire to learn and nothing was going to get in their way. Ms. Tate
is very fluent in Spanish and feels that knowing that language has helped her in becoming a more
effective teacher the Latin Americans ELLs. She can tell if a student has some hang ups in the
English language and therefore can recognize where the problem lies. She can see if they are not
getting a certain language pattern and why, then she can compare the two languages and focus on
how to get through the barrier by explaining the differences between the two patterns. Tate also says
using the Krashen method where there is more comprehensible input and not everything is based on
output produces better results than when she taught before and students had to listen for a long time
before producing anything. She loves the curriculum we have: Sopris, Direct Instruction for true
Spoken English. It is based on Krashen and gives comprehensible input in repetitive patterns in
small doses. It runs

What is an Interview? Essay
What is an Interview?
An interview is a conversation, which is held between two or more individuals where some
questions are asked by the interviewer to obtain information about the interviewee. When the
assignment Conduct a Job Search was given to us, we were excited. This kind of project was not
only to help graduating students, like ourselves but anyone who is entering the workforce.
An interview can be one of the best experiences. The interviewing program we have developed will
be taught through slides, presentation, systematic activities, and skits. Individual folders will be
handed out including pictures that will demonstrate how to wear the right clothes for the interview.
