Overthinking
When I called him, he sounded like he had just woken up, even though it was around 6pm. I didn't know what to say half the time I was talking to him and I kept looking at my dad while I was on the phone with my grandpa. The interview really went better than expected. I thought that I was going to have a hard time trying to ask him questions since I honestly didn't whether he wanted to be there or not. After getting all the answers that I wanted from him, I decided to talk to him more about other things like when my dad was young. This interview really helped me become closer with my grandpa and also learn more about the restaurant business. After starting to talk to him, I realized how much he went into detail about the things I asked him. He really wanted to help me out on my project and he didn't hesitate when I asked him. This first interview was very successful! Hopefully my next one will be as easy as this one.

You're pretty lucky that you got to interview your grandpa, so it was a little less awkward than a stranger. I'm glad you got to build a closer relationship with him and that you got your interview over with as well! I can truly see you being in the restaurant business. I could totally relate to you saying how much he wanted to help you because my interviewees have been really caring towards helping me as well. I'm sure you're next two will be great as well! Keep working it Foreman!
Its pretty cool that you have a family member in the business. He could lead you to some other sources if he hasn't already. Is also a good thing that he went into details about the things he explained to you. I'm sure he was able to answer all the questions you had. I wish you luck on your next interview!
