D/S Interview

For my leadership interview, I chose my cousin Angie. She is a chemical engineer, and I chose her because she has always been someone I have looked up to. She is similar to me in that she is science-oriented and enjoys problem solving. She is also very confident and outgoing, and those are some of the things that I would like to work on in myself. When someone asks me a question, nine times out of ten, I will say the answer and then add, “…but I am not 100% sure”. I think that I leader needs to possess confidence, especially when they are answering questions and making decisions. I am trying to work on that myself, and I thought that talking to Angie would be helpful for me.

Interviewer: What was a hard event during your presidency? James Madison: Well I would say the War of 1812. It was hard because I didn’t want to go into war with Britain.

On May 16, 2017 I interviewed Jaimie Resendiz about what it means to be American to her. Jaimie is 29 years old, shes been living most of her life here in Orange County. She recently moved to a different county, which is, Riverside County. She has her own house with three children, and two small dogs. Although, Jaimie has kids she isn’t so sure if she wants to get married.

The one sentence which stuck out immensely in the book was, “I can predict whether a couple will divorce after watching and listening to them for just fifteen minutes.” I just couldn’t accept it was possible. How could one know the fate of a relationship in just fifteen minutes? This one sentence made me contemplate becoming a marriage counselor. This book could diminish the stereotypes and show others what an incredible career path marriage counseling could be. I would love to help people figure out who they are as a couple. I believe once individuals pursue a relationship, especially marriage, you aren’t necessarily an individual anymore. I realize you are still your own person, but how you conduct yourself is heavily based on your partner.

When I first started the Dyadic encounter assignment, I wasn’t quite sure what to do or who I would interview. As time went on I decided to take this time to spend some quality time with my son and get to know him a little better. This assignment allowed us to spend some one on one time together. It opened up conversations that gave me opportunities to express to my son; I would be by his side, no matter what, on his journey through life. At the beginning of the Dyadic assignment, it seemed like my son and I was really making time for a real interview. By the end of the five weeks, we began looking forwarded to spending time with each other and catching up on events that may have materialized since our last conversation. Every time we sat down for our scheduled meeting we would pick a different location to meet. I learned through our exchanges that the settings made a difference on how much we were engaged

My interview with the Director of Special services provided me with a unique viewpoint related to our student learning problem, both from the perspective of current district-wide policies and their influence on the current state of things and potential improvement plans, and the reasons that the CSI department is encountering difficulties.

I expected it to be more cut and dry as in I’d ask a question, Lucy would answer it. The actual interview, however, played out more like a conversation. The interview started off a little awkward because I wasn’t quite sure how to start. The first few questions were answered very shortly and I didn’t really know what to say to get her to elaborate. I was a little nervous then because I wasn’t sure if we’d have enough to talk about. However, she was very warm and welcoming and that made me feel a little more comfortable. As we continued, I found the parts of her life and religion that she’s very passionate about and she also began to ask me questions about myself. After we got to that point the minutes just flew by and we began to get a glimpse of what it was like inside each other’s

Dr. Perry talked to this lady regarding her husband many affairs; she looked at these affairs as only a hobby of her husband’s. After Dr. Perry reframed the situation and gave his emotional views on the affairs, only then did she see that her husband’s affairs were hurtful. I am wondering did the women grow up in a household where affairs were just hobbies. Or was this kind of lifestyle normal for both of them in their relationship? This question about what was a normal lifestyle in her marriage could have been an important issue in this situation. I kind of feel sorry for the therapist that put these thought into this women’s head, because she may blow up at her husband and he might come looking for the

I tended to focus more on the questions I had pre-written instead of letting the conversation flow naturally. In watching the interview, I noticed our body language seemed to mimic one another in my questioning of her. I noticed that we were both leaned back in our chairs as if we were pulling away from the conversation. It seemed as if she could feel my apprehension and that is why she seemed to pull away. However, during her interview with me, she tended to lean forward, while I pulled away. Since she stated she had previous experience in a therapy setting, I feel that she was able to relax more during her questioning in an attempt to have me relax as

1. Question: Share some of the background of your interviewee (or couple). What was this person’s/couple’s story?

Sony’s 2014 release of “The Interview” caused waves all over the world. The movie, starring James Franco and Seth Rogan, satirizes the attempted and eventual assassination of North Korea leader – Kim Jong Un. The particular scene to be examined for this case study is the fight scene in which Kim Jong Un is killed. The two main characters (played by Franco and Rogan), an ally, and a puppy are fleeing in a tank, while Jong Un is shooting at them from a helicopter. Kim Jong Un then makes obscene gestures and yells profanities at the tank while simultaneously preparing a nuclear launch. Unfortunately for him, the main characters are preparing a quicker retaliation of their own. While the ammunition is propelled toward the helicopter, one

In addition to the data analysis, the research also focused on four interviews based on their experience in the workforce. Two of those individuals entered the workforce before the 1980s and the other two entered the workforce within the past five years. The individuals who entered the workforce before the 1980s are Elizabeth, who worked as a house cleaner as her first job, and Mary, whose first job was a babysitter. When Elizabeth started cleaning houses, she was eighteen-years-old and had just arrived in the United States from El Salvador. Mary was sixteen-years-old when she started working due to the fact that the community knew her well. As individuals who entered the workforce in the 1980s, they have different experiences with the

I interviewed John and Cindy about their marriage and the challenges they’ve faced together as a married couple. I am encouraged by their relationship and have decided to use their relationship as a model for my second interview. John and Cindy have been married for almost 5 years. In addition to this union, there is McKenna, Cindy’s son. They are a blended family, of course, and are part of the more modern structure of families in our society.

During my very first interview, I was quite nervous. Although I had mulled over my questions repeatedly and had practiced my questions with my husband, classmates, and in the mirror, I wanted to sound like a competent researcher who was authentically invested in this process. I did not want to misrepresent myself or the university. I giggled as I listened to the recording of the first interview. I kept saying “good!” and “okay…” for a conversation filler, occasionally even when the participant was still talking! During this interview, I quickly realized that my questions were out of order. While I intended to open with “easier,” less personal questions, I found that stalled deep conversations regarding gender barriers in the profession. Therefore, I abandoned my specific conversation order with the two other participants and let the conversation flow more freely. I believe I was stifling the responses and myself by being too rigid. While that rigidity potentially came out of fear
