What is an interview? An interview is an oral examination. This examination allows the interviewer to find out information about the interviewee in a non-formal setting. I needed to conduct an interview to find out what kind of person my partner is. To begin the process I needed a partner to interview. The partner I was given was Kelby McCoy. We decided partners by drawing pieces of papers with a number between one and thirteen and an A or B for each number. I drew that paper 3B and Kelby drew the paper 3A making us partners. Kelby and I had to find a time that worked for the both of use to interview one another. We were given one class period for the interview but that was not enough time to get all of the information we needed. We decided that Monday, Wednesday, and Friday would not work because we both were busy on those days. So we decided to meet on Tuesday in the union. We decided to meet on Tuesday so that we would have plenty of time for our speech and ask additional questions if needed. We chose to meet in the union because it was a spot we could both get to easily. Next I needed to do research on my interview topic. My partner and I had given …show more content…
I also did not have enough information. I was nervous, so I sped up my speech. I knew this would probably happened so I should have planned for it by making my speech longer. I also should have asked more questions during the interview and I should have expanded on more of the questions that I asked. I also discovered that I needed to find a different way to end my speech. A way that would leave a lasting impression. Another thing I realized is that I had way too many words on my notecard. The notecard I was using had too much of the speech and I kept getting losing my spot in the speech. I also stayed up way to late the night before the speech. This means I was really tired when giving the speech, which made it harder to remember

model starts with the first stage, Preparation and Planning. During this stage, the interviewer looks at how any information gained from the current interview could be used to strengthen the ongoing investigation. Learning about the suspect and making a list on the objectives of the investigation are a necessity to conduct the interview. A timeline of events is erected relating to the offense that is under investigation and that timeline is used to develop a questioning plan based on the existing evidence. Following the first stage, the interviewer would then start the engage and explain stage. In this two part stage, the interviewer starts out by engaging the suspect by relaying to him/her how the interview will take place. In attempts to establish rapport, the interviewer will converse with subject by conducting themselves in a professional and personable manner. The interviewer makes sure that the suspect understands the reason and purpose for the interview, explaining also how the interview is expected to progress and stresses the ground rules and expectations of the interview. The third step then follows
Discuss the differences between the terms interview and interrogation. Interviewing is talking to people, who are not suspects in a crime but who knows something and knows who is involved in the crime. Also getting their information, and asking questions to them, and knowing when to translate or interpret. The main people involved when getting information at a crime scene is the witnesses, criminal and the accuser (Orthman, Hess, 2013). Interrogation questioning of the suspects, once the suspect is known of their identity and where they reside the person who is the participant of the crime could make a statement, confession, refusal, corroborated with self-supporting documentation that could yield a guilty allegation or it could gather a determining guilt (Orthman, Hess, 2013).
My third informational interview was a face to face sit down interview with Omer Teymur, a young gentleman who is a CEO of a new growing cotton company called AF Cotton LLC located in Dallas, Texas.
Interviewing requires a lot of careful planning and decision making to improve the likelihood of desirable results. There are many factors that significantly influence the direction of an interview. People conducting interviews must be cognoscente of their actions as to not contaminate the interview. “An Overview of Investigative Interviewing” (1998) is a film that depicts British Police officers conducting an interview with a victim of crime. Immediately at the start of the film, the audience can see several decisions to improve the interview. The interview appears to be taking place in a quiet and secluded office. The interviewee and the officer are seated close and parallel to each other. This setting is beneficial as it removes
Though I had some strong points in my informative speech, I still feel there was a lot I could improve upon. I could not recognize any vocalized pauses but I noticed that at certain points of speech where I would transition from one point to another, I would push my glasses up. I don’t remember if this was because my glasses were actually slipping down or because I was nervous. Also, after watching my video, I found that in the beginning of the speech I was swaying a lot, but because I was standing behind the table it wasn’t that noticeable. The one major thing I would change is my choice to stand behind the table. It was something I did unconsciously and out of habit of usually speaking behind a podium, and I did not notice I did it until
Interviews are very popular among most individuals especially researchers and scholars as they attempt to obtain information and data from an interviewee. However, there are many factors that influence the interview and which determines its success or failure. Often, the interviewer takes charge of the situation, and they have the sole responsibility of asking the questions while the interviewee provides an explanation or an answer to the question asked. As a result, an interview can be defined as a consultation or a discussion in person through which information and data are exchanged regarding a particular phenomenon event with the intention of establishing the interviewee’s position. It is easy to tell the mood and success of the interview
However, I did notice that there were a few faults in the presentation, one being a fault that I personally consider may have negatively impacted our presentation. It seems to me that I was not able to deliver the presentation to the best of my ability as I had let my nerves get the best of me when talking to the staff. The reason for this was that I was not comfortable with taking on the speaking role that I was given and that there were last minute changes made to my slides right before presenting. Bruner, (1996) stated that the learning process for staff relies on the “meaningful dialogue” that is presented by the presenters. In this case, I think that my speech was not strong enough to grab the audience’s attention, thus not being able to portray my message about what an Ofsted inspection is and what the results from an Ofsted inspection mean. Nevertheless, although I was not able to present to the quality that I had wished, the feedback received was reassuring that I had not done terribly bad. I was able to see myself grow as a presenter as I noticed that my
The employment interview has been the key element used for determining a candidates’ worthiness in filling an open position. Organizations rely on employment interviews as a way to predict the future job performance and work-related personality traits of interviewees. Over the years validity of the employment interview has been under scrutiny, so it is no wonder that is has been the topic of many research papers. The definition of the employment interview is “a personally interactive process of one or more people asking questions orally to another person and evaluating the answers for the purpose of determining the qualifications of that person in order to make employment decisions” (Levashina, Hartwell, Morgeson, and Campion 2013, p. 243).
2) Create a chart to detail specific information based on what you learned and observed during the interview(s). The table should contain lines for 6 entries and should look
I prepared a questionnaire and included all the relevant questions as stated in the assignment. I was fortunate to get a prompt reply with a narrative description. A phone interview was scheduled on September 23rd to fill in the gaps of the questionnaire which help me in articulating the details for the questionnaire. Since I already had a questionnaire completed by the manager, I was able to formulate more questions based on the questionnaire. This made my note-taking using MS OneNote easy and aided me in preparing the content for this
This speech did not make me nervous nor did it stress me out. I felt comfortable talking about color blindness because I had a good understanding of what it was, making it super easy to talk about. The informative speech stuck out in my mind because it was one of the speeches that I made really good eye contact, and I felt like I was saying very useful information unlike many of my other speeches. I am so glad we did an informative speech because it help me gain more confidence in my speaking abilities. I remember during the speech, I looked at the crowd and I actually saw them being attentive, and seeing my classmates like that made me feel like I was presenting my speech very well while being
I was very pleased that I did not have to look at my notecards once throughout the entire speech. I was also pleased that my face did not turn bright red. Every time I have to present in front of an audience my face gets red and my voice starts to shake. I think I did not get too nervous for this speech because I practiced it close to fifty times. I also practice my speech in front of my family which gave me that type of
Most people find that going to a job interview can be one of the most stressful events in a person’s life. For some, a job interview is vital to one’s future, therefore the outcome of the interview can be of great importance to that person’s life.

I had a lot of information on my mind, but the tension obstructed the flow of my words. Therefore I could not speak continuously, and accurately to the point. The fact that English is not my native language might have also been a reason for this. Therefore I was not satisfied with my performance.
