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.

My first I-search interview

I had been looking for a person to interview for a long time and I was starting to become quite nervous, and frankly I did not even think that I would find someone at one point. With 4 days to spare I find Ted Stewart. I was only able to e-mail him but he seemed like a genuine, nice man who liked to help people especially kids. I told him what I was emailing him for and he kindly answered all of my Questions and even asked if I had more questions. I would have liked to interview him in person, but unfortunately he lives in southern California. After this interview I am feeling even more confident about my next one and up for the challenge.

The very 1st one!!!!!!!!!

Well after doing my first interview I thought of some good advice that you might want to hear. The interviews are very important and you DO NOT want to procrastinate on them. Even if you get an extension, get the interview done as soon as possible because the date it is due comes up very quickly. Another piece of advice that you might want to hear about is that when you are in the interview process, stay calm and try not to be nervous. If you are confident when you are interviewing your person then you wont be nervous. This worked for me and I hope it works for you. Just be relaxed and make yourself comfortable around the person and where you guys are at. If you are nervous the whole time you are interviewing that person, then the interview won't go great. That is from my opinion at least because some people are different. These tips helped me do a great interview and if you decide to follow them then I hope you have a great interview to!

The Way To Success

The day that i did the first interview everything was weird because i never did something like that. And i though everythin was gonna go wrong and be a total disaster but everything change because it turn to a success. But before doing this interview i was nervous because i didnt knew what to ask. But after the first step of contacting the interviewee everything came to my mind. From some questions to ask and how to act around that person that i was about to interview. But later on every negative things were gone and i keeped going with the interview. And i learned a lot on this interview because this person told me a lot of thinks about my career i choose and im proud on what they do. Finally i think that the practice we took on Mr.Speckels class worked because it helped me to make good solid questions. This first interview was a success and i will try to make the other ones better.

Back to Elementary..

Today after school I went to get my first interview over with. The career I chose was to become a teacher, so I went back to my elementary school to interview my fourth grade teacher, Ms.Britto! The interview went way better then I expected it to. It was surprising to me because after I sent her an e-mail to set up an interview, I found out that she remembered exactly who I was! So going into the interview was really exciting because I was able to go back and interview a great teacher who really loves the job. For a while we were just sitting in the classroom talking and catching up with eachother, then we moved into the interviewing process and it was just so much easier then I expected! She even said that she looks forward to keeping in touch with me, and that if I ever need help that she would be there for me. Having an interview with someone so great like Ms.Britto would make it so easy for everyone! This interview was very helpful because there was just so much that she told me, it was even more then i asked for but that was just fine with me! Now I'm looking forward to the rest of the interviews, I can only hope that they will be just as great as this one.

Having to look for someone to interview is stressing out. trying to contact professional people is a very difficult thing to do because when you contact someone asking them for an interview they respond back but ones you say its a high school student they refuse it. since it was my first interview i was afraid i wasn't going to be able to find someone, but i ignore it and had my hopes up. i try ed contacting people by phone, email, and even face book. nothing happened, then i remembered i have a family member that is studying on what I'm searching so i decided to interview her. it made it much easier for me to interview her. even though i knew her i acted like i didn't so i could kind of do better on my next interview.

Foster Care Creative Title

My interview with a Foster Care Worker went will. When i walk into her office Wednesdy 3-30-11 after school I was Nervous. Then she took us to this confrence room and we sat down. I gave her a copy of the questions and ask if she would like to look at them and give me information or if she would like me to read the questions. So Michelle Love discided she woul read them. As Michelle Love read the questions and answered my mom took notes for me while I listened to all the important things Michelle said. Some of the interesting thing Michelle said was that you have to go to school and get a masters in Social Worker for two years after you get your Bachlors. Another interesting think I learned was that in Alameda County they place 1,600 kids each year during the mounths. Another thing I learned was that out of the 1,600 kids 160 get placed and 35% go back home 12 mounths later. Another thing is that the parents of Foster kids think they are getting paid alot, but in reality they are only getting paid just enough to buy clothes and food for the child. This is my expirence on my frist interview.
