...Parent Interview The person this student interviewed was Fabiana, she is the mother of 3 boys, they live in a middle class Brazilian society, and she has been concerned with her middle child, a 4 year old, although he is 4 years old already, he cannot speak yet.

...Parent Interview In this paper, I am going to discuss my role as an interviewer and the steps I take to ensure a good interview. For this project, I chose to interview a family I have known for several years. They live in the same neighborhood as I. The father’s name is Alex and the mother’s name is Ashley. They have two children, a five year old son and a two year old daughter. The son’s name is Marcus and daughter’s name is Mariah. The family used to live in Woodland, but have been living in Davis for the last two years. Both Ashley and Alex were born and brought up here in USA; Ashley was born in Wisconsin and lived there for 13 years with her parents, while Alex was born in Fairfield but later moved to Woodland. He was raised by a single mom because his parents divorced when he was five. The divorce negatively affected Alex; which is why he wants his children to have a better environment with lots of love and care. Alex’s parenting style was permissive. Ashley’s parents were together and worked a lot but gave her the proper nurturing that she...

...For the assessment and interview, I was with a seven-year-old with ASD and his mother and sister. It was the same child that I performed the BOT-II on. The therapist had warned me before that this might be a difficult mom to interact with. She told me she could come off as very intimidating and usually takes the lead for interviews. I am relatively comfortable with my interview skills with parents because of my experience at the Waisman Center with Sharon. I tried to stay calm because I knew I had the ability to interview a parent, but the therapist’s warning did make me nervous. This interview was also difficult because this family was not a new one to clinic. Instead of being able to go though an entire occupational profile or collecting a...

...Discussion I conducted my professional interviews at my practicum site for my school counseling program. The name of this school is Roosevelt Middle School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Their gifted and talented program is called PACT: Program for Academic and Creative Talent.

I also planned to interview a gifted student in the PACT program, but unfortunately the student was sick and not at school. Nonetheless, I believe I received a great deal of information from the stakeholders that...

...Scottish jail, there would be dire consequences. Of course, when asked about this, this was denied. People in Scotland were interviewed and many thought that he was being used as a “scapegoat” so to speak. Even the possibility that he may have even been a Libyan Intelligence Agent was mentioned but that was never proven, even in the trial. My second online news video was with Fox News about the continuing story about baby Lisa and the newest updates. It had the parents and their attorney at the news station being interviewed, as well as flash backs with the same reporter from the beginning. This interview lasted 10:27 which is quite a bit longer then the first video but then again, we are talking about a missing child. This is part two, and it is showing viewers more updates on the case. This particular video was well played, not biased. The interviewer, Megan Kelly, really kept asking the parents how they felt and how they feel the investigation is going. I don’t think that in this type of reporting that by using the parents emotions that you are trying to get more viewers for ratings....

...We analyzed all the data that was collected and documented; this helped determine what the students feel amongst our surveys. This allowed us to ensure that the people that were selected to take part in the interview would not just give us great data to use, but also encompass a large array of people who have dealt with making the decision of going to an HBCU or a PWI. Most of the people whom were selected to have family members who went to the school in which they did not choose to attend. The goal was to ensure that we took interviews from people from a wide range of cultural and economic background. As a group we understood that cultural and economics play a big role in the decision of going to a school over another. Our method of sampling...

...Cowen and Company by Société Général in 1998, focused on emerging growth companies in health care and technology industries. It was a boutique-sized firm with about 1,500 employees, but appreciated the benefit of access to its parent company’s balance sheet. SG Cowen relied on the in-depth knowledge collected through its equity research team, which was already highly regarded for its coverage of its focus industries. Above all things, the bank would remain a pointed emerging growth investment bank. The recruiting strategy employed by SG Cowen consisted of team captains at every school at which they recruited on campus, a group of ‘core business schools’. Professionals at the bank would often conduct ‘informational’ interviews in advance of first-round interviews to gauge enthusiasm of candidates and give them additional information about the firm. The firm’s recruiting strategy centered around focusing on the ‘next 15’ top schools after the top 10 business schools, which historically yielded recruitment of students in the middle of their class. At the next 15 top schools, the firm was hiring at the top of the class and the students tended to be more loyal. Another major advantage of their recruiting efforts was, in information sessions and interviews, SG Cowen professionals highlighted the benefits of being a boutique firm such as less bureaucracy small teams, more responsibility, and accelerated promotion. SG Cowen involved mostly junior professionals to conduct on-campus...

...centre was a square box between roundabouts on the edge of a ring road just outside Newcastle. It was clever, she thought, the way it seemed to have no windows when in fact from the inside you could see out. If Gloria stood up she could see some bullocks in a narrow field. She liked the way they changed position, arranging themselves like compositions for her benefit, sometimes running up and down the field shaking their young wild heads. It was unusual to have a view in this kind of work. Most people sat in cubicles, boxed in by thin screens. The job interview had been hurried and officious. So many people didn’t stay, the interviewer said. What were her plans? “I’ve left school,” she said, “my family is here. I’ve got no plans to go anywhere.” The truth was she didn’t know. She had passed exams. She could go to university if she wanted, but she couldn’t imagine sleeping in a narrow bed in a strange town. Her parents told her to take things slowly, to take a year to think about what she wanted, to dream a little. Friends from school were going to Mexico, to dig ditches in China, build schools in Malawi, but Gloria had never been on an aeroplane, and she was unlikely to go to somewhere where they spoke a foreign language when she found the idea of York, or Warwick alarming. And she loved her family. She liked the way they sat still, understanding one another, always thinking the best of each other. Most families were at each other’s throats. She had been for other jobs...

...Hazards In Interviewing Children There are a number of hazards which will be encountered if you interview children between the ages of 4 and 10 years. Depending upon the experience and ability of the child, the difficulties may remain after the age of 10. The tendency to say 'Yes'. Very young children are unwilling to assert themselves and to contradict an adult. They will, therefore, answer questions in any way they think you want them answered. Later, of course, children in the early teenage years may delight in confusing adults, which produces a different problem of interpretation. This means that you have to guard very closely against giving any hint of what you expect them to say. You have to encourage them to disclose their own opinion and this may take many reassurances that you want to know what they think, you want their own ideas, and that there are no right answers. Anything that looks like a test will either silence them or trigger things they know adults want to hear. There is also a strong 'acquiescence response' bias: children will tend to say 'yes', irrespective of the question, if they are anxious to please. So you should try to pose questions which are not open to yes or no responses. For instance, 'Did you like that?', would become, 'What did you think about that?' A 'Don't know' response must be treated cautiously. Never base a conclusion on 'Don't knows', especially one which asserts that children don't know. Literal interpretations. Young children...
