My Interview With A Salesperson

While waiting for our food to arrive I started the interview off with some introductory background questions. His demeanor during the interview was very comfortable. I felt he was being very open and honest with his answers. Our conversations flowed very smoothly. I felt as if I was speaking to someone from a different culture from mines, but the way he expressed his perceptions and experiences were not foreign to me. Plainly, I could see how people all over the world could share the same dilemmas.

My interview was with Thomas Travers, a “Technical Specialist” that lives in Wharton, New Jersey and worked at Tiffany and Co. for 18 years.

The name of the interviewee is Matt Gunnell. He is a manager at the Jefferson City Apothecary. He has been instrumental to manufacturing medicine a playing a vital role in keeping the people of the Jefferson City community healthy and strong. I decided to choose Matt because he is a laid back and amazing individual who is very positive about life and encourage others to thrive and find their talent to make the world a better place. He also has a strong passion for his job and his role in ensuring the wellness of our citizens in this community. Also, I picked the Apothecary because of the vital role they to ensure our society have access to the medicine they need to stay healthy. It is one of the very few pharmaceutical businesses in town. It also offer pocket friendly prescriptions for some citizens that had to pay out of pocket.

On the agreed date and time, I reached the agreed meeting place which was a coffee shop in Vancouver. I had previously sent a photo of myself with my interview request thus making it easy for him to find me. We had a brief introduction where I explained to him how I was given his contact information and why I chose him to interview. He asked me questions about my study and future plans. After this, I asked him questions about his profession and communication skills usages at his work

I think what would make Botetourt County a better community is more affordable housing And lower property tax. Firstly It would be beneficial because more and more of Botetourt residents have had to move out because of increased property value and tax so if there was more affordable housing they would be able to stay, secondly more jobs would be created, lastly more people might move into botetourt because housing is cheaper.

He shook my hand with confidence and seemed at ease throughout the interview. He was able to answer all of my questions and never seemed “over the top” in his answers.

The person I chose for this interview was my father, Vathana Ean. I chose my father because he has seen the changes that have happened in Canada for thirty years, he has seen the beginning and rise of technology, and has been using it for the past twenty years in his job. He has seen the slow shifts of society, the trends that have come and go, and the situations in the past arise again. My dad lived as a young adult in the eighites, an era showing rapid advanacement in technology and the rise of globalization. It was a simpler time, there was no internet nor cell phones, no computers either unless you were rich, and people were more connected personally.

When reading the Babylon myth of creation Enuma Elish and Gods’ story of creation in Genesis we find that there are many elements of similarity. They both begins with a universe and that the creation starts by forming the formal universe. In both stories the universe was full of emptiness and shapelessness of water and by the particular power the universe was formed and created.

Best Buy: The salesperson created a good rapport with me and successful in creating a positive impression. He asked me about my profession and my studies. We got along well and he recommended a camera best for my use keeping my budget in mind. He had good knowledge about the products as he was able to compare different brands of cameras i.e. Samsung, Nikon and Canon. Based on my needs he recommended me to buy a Sony camera. Although the camera was little over my budget, it had additional features like Bluetooth, automatic operation and small sensor etc. He had answered my queries very confidently. During the entire conversation, he maintained good eye contact, posture, personal space and most importantly “a smile”.

When I first found out about this assignment I was a little anxious because I didn 't know whom I would interview or how my request would be received. As I consider my options I thought it would be best to interview someone that could offer me some insight as to what it is like to be an elementary or junior high school counselor, which are the two age groups that I would most like to work with. With this in mind, I decided to interview one of my son 's past guidance counselors. This is a woman that I have admired since the first day that I met her. In talking with her I found her to be a very knowledgeable, caring, and open person. She has been in the helping profession for over twenty years and working as a guidance counselor since 1999.

In order to gain more insight for research I conducted an interview with an actual Latin Jazz musician. For my interview I spoke with Craig Fundygo, a self-taught vibraphone player and musician with a lot of jazz experience. Craig continues to play with his own band in the city of Santa Monica. The following discussion was based on a list of prepared questions- What is the name of your band, how many players are there?

In the roughly eleven-minute interview with my client, Alex, we discussed her need for case management services. She established her concerns that she wanted to address with me, as well as her current status in education, living arrangements, social supports, along with her history in the same areas. We also began to discuss (informally) the goals that she intends to reach with help of my services and other services she may be referred to. During the process, I learned about Alex’s strength and resilience. I also learned a lot about myself as an interviewer.

Although these are not the only individuals profiting off the talents of these young men. Another main group of people that benefit from the success of their athletes are the coaches of those athletes. Even though being a coach does require talent and you have to be able to pull in recruits, college coaches make or break based off if their recruits become stars. Looking back to the Manziel case, after his Heisman run, his coach Kevin Sumlin received a 1.1 million pay raise (manziel). And it’s not only Sumlin who is being awarded for their teams success, “average salaries for major college football coaches have jumped more than 70% since 2006” (manziel). This just adds to the list of people who profit off of the success of these young men, while

I structured this paper by giving you the insight about all the question I asked and the responses I received, ending it off with the list of facts I learned and knowledge I gained throughout the interview.

I chose to interview Randy Bedsaul. He is an older gentleman who responds in a genuine manner. Since he works in my maintenance shop and I interact with him on a daily basis it was easy to ask him to do this interview. He responded quickly to my request and even stayed after work one day to help me out. To say I was thrilled would be an understatement. I really appreciate individuals who are willing to go the extra mile to help others in regards to personal/professional growth.
