A bit late...
For my first interveiw I decided to complete it over E-mail with one of my mom's freinds from highschool. I wouldnt recommend doing an interveiw like this. Since it wasn't live I couldn't build on some of his answers to gain more information. Also, i found that alot of his answers didn't have as much information as I had hoped but it was still just enough to complete my first interveiw. Also, I could have had done a little more research before writing the questions for two reasons, to have a little backround information and to make stronger questions. The positive things I gained from this first interveiw was learning from my mistakes of not doing it live and to prepare better questions. One interesting thing I learned from my interviewee was that he sailed from Guam to Hawaii on a one hundred and eighty foot buoy tender "the Sassafras" and in rough waters the boat was almost capsized on their trip, which he answered as his scariest moment while serving. Now I'm one interveiw closer to being done with the project and I know what to do better for the next two interveiws. I am so excited...

Even though my interview was through email, I got plenty of information, so saying things like, "Since it wasn't live I couldn't build on some of his answers to gain more information" was kind of based off of the type of person you interviewed. My interviewee gave me plenty of information and I even got to build off of it too, but she was really quick to respond so that might have made a difference too. Maybe it just depends on the person you interview? Who knows, but lets hope that, next time, the person you interview is more sociable. :D
Doing a first interview over email must of been stressful. Didn't it aggravate you when you didn't get a reply on time? I'm sorry that it didn't go as well as you wished. I'm sure your next interview will be awesome! Your career choice sounds pretty intense if you met a guy who sailed from Guam. I hope your next two get you feeling more confident! Good Luck on your next interview Kyle!
