Unstructured Interview Analysis

When doing an informational interview you need to plan it out. Make a plan of what you’re going to ask give yourself 15 to 30 minutes to do the interview. Dress nice like you would if you were going to do that job. Make the interview interesting and some things that you’re into. You don’t want to bore yourself with the interview because then you’re going to bore that other person. Identify the information that you want. What questions you have. Like when your older and move out are you going to get a house or an apartment and share with friends or are you going to stay at home with mom and dad? Why? Where do you want to go on vacation if you could go anywhere and why? You could also ask like how was you day at the job? Like was it typical

A lot has changed since our parents were our age. This assignment did show me that even though times have changed significantly there will always be some constants in college no matter the decade. For my assignment I interviewed my mom Sue Kluzek. She went to Northern Illinois University in 1986. She was coming in as a junior after attending junior college prior. Since she was a junior she didn’t have to live in the residence hall so she got an apartment she knew that already went there. Since there wasn’t much around northern when she attended she ate dinning hall food a lot of the time. When I asked her how it was she said it’s the one thing she’ll never miss about college. My mom said she loved northern because she got to be on her own. Now since my mom came in as a junior she had already decided on what she wanted to do the rest of her life. She was majoring in special education elementary. She originally was going to major in business but when she did a summer job helping out children with learning disabilities she knew that was the career for her.

For my In-Depth Interview paper, I chose to Interview my co-worker Senada Cufurovic whom I work with at Bank of the West. Senada finds herself culturally diverse as being from another country and culture. As long as I have known Senada from working with her for the past two years, I have never been able to get to know her background from where she came from until this opportunity to interview her came up.

In order to meet the study objectives, in addition to the case study, a semi-structured interview was conducted using non-random sampling. As respondents of the interview had to have particular characteristics such as ability to value property and knowledge about the property market, estate agents were contacted. A total of 7 interviews were conducted with estate agents in the West Hampstead/Kilburn area. The interviews lasted approximately 10 minutes. The participants were as follows:

I just want say, Thank You for selecting me for an interview and taking the time to interview with me, today. I enjoyed hearing about the Processing Assistant IV position in the Appraisal unit. If I could contribute to your unit in anyway, just let me know.

Earning a job can be beneficial but finding one can be stressful. Search for the career you want to pursue may take some time. The reason for that is because the job you choose to pursue may be the occupation you will have until retirement. Before you get a job there are three steps, which are creating the résumé, job searching, and the interview. following these few key steps will increase the chances of you getting that career.

One advantage of a semi structured interview is that in the case of participants who tend to answer questions briefly, the interviewer can ask more open ended questions and cater the structure of the interview for the participant. The interviewer has a choice of which order to ask the questions in and how to ask them. For instance, in the transcript for the interview, the interviewer is being provided with one sentence yes/no replies in the beginning. Then, a few questions later, the interviewer asks a more detailed question that asks the participant how they manage their diabetes and who helps them. This prompts a more detailed response from the participant, who has now been asked to speak more freely about their experience with diabetes. Furthermore, for semi-structured interviews, the interviewers can follow what the participants are saying and modify their questions accordingly. The interviewer can be prompted by something the participant has said, and explore that prompt further in their proceeding questions. For example, when the respondent states that they do their own finger prick blood test, the interviewer then explores that deeper by asking follow up questions such as what equipment the participant uses and the difference in their own materials versus the hospital’s. Furthermore, in a semi-structured interview, the participant might bring up interesting points the interviewer had not come across in their

The ability to conduct an efficient and effective clinical and diagnostic interview is arguably one of the most valued therapeutic skills. It is during the interview that the therapist learns about the difficulties and challenges experienced by the couple and begins to form the foundations for a healing professional relationship. There are three basic assessment elements that should guide every interviewing session.

Read the intake interview below. Then discuss what may be unclear to the client and suggest an alternative statement that presents the information more clearly for the client. Utilize the information you have read for this week.

During the interviews, I found myself asking a lot of questions where most of them were closed ended which forced the patient giving simplistic responses with limited information. I also found myself giving false reassurance; “you’ll be fine, don’t worry,” when a patient expressed how they were distressed to be in a psych institution while they are completely sane. I was so nervous the first time that I couldn’t find a better way to be kind, but then I realized that the false reassurance was blocking the conversation with the patients and discouraging further expressions of their feelings. A better response would have been “It must be difficult for you to be here”. The therapeutic skills I plan to use next time is seeking clarity, I have learned

Throughout this semester, my journey of involvement in class discussions, writing media thread assignments, participating in practice labs, and exploring through numerous, unfamiliar (and familiar) topics in class readings, have inspired me in becoming a more skillful mental health clinician than ever before. Out of many of these topics, however, the one I perused most extensively was a counseling approach called Motivational Interviewing (MI). Miller and Rollnick (2013)—the subject matter experts—define motivational interviewing as a “collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication with particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by

Out of the three interview options I decided to do a selection interview. I chose to do a selection interview because it was the interview I was most comfortable doing and the type of interview I have been most exposed to in my life. My selection interview was a role play medical school admissions interview. I chose to do this type of interview because it was the most pertinent to my life because I will be doing these types of interviews next year (however, then I will be the interviewee). It was also fun for me to be the interviewer for this type of interview. I decided to do this interview with my friend Payge. I chose Payge because she also is a premedical student and I knew she could benefit from this interview as well. By practicing a

Whereas a structured interview follows a standardised format, in an unstructured interview the interviewer has complete freedom to vary the interview. Supporters argue that this brings a number of important advantages. Such as, rapport and sensitivity, the interviewee's views are clearer, the ability to check understanding, flexibility and the ability for the interviewer to explore unfamiliar topics. However, there are multiple disadvantages to using unstructured interviews in sociological research. Such as, practical problems, which include, time and sample size, training, and interpersonal skills, there are also issues with representativeness, reliability, quantification and validity.

The first student agreed that it was not ok for Steve to cheat. However, his reasoning was not that of a well developed student. He simplay stated that it was not ok for him to cheat because if he was to be found out he would be kicked out. According to Kohlberg's theory he would catorgrize this student as being in preconventional level. This level according page 106 is described as based solely on a person's own needs and perceptions. He divided this level into two stages. Stage one is obedience orientation- obey rules to avoid punishment and bad consequences, stage two- reward/exchange orientation right or wrong is determined by personal needs and wants. Arguably you could state that he does not fall into stage two of this level and only

A thematic analysis of an interview was used to help students develop an understanding of the role of an RC. This role is dynamic and challenging; it offers great opportunities to grow and work in an academic team based environment that fosters constant learning. Often RCs play a significant role in the process of bringing a project from conception to completion which requires a variety of qualifications and leadership qualities. An inductive approach to this process, beginning with data collection and analysis, allowed me to consider specific aspects of the topic and progress on to more general concepts. Eventually, I was able to discover connections between existing knowledge and the data I analyzed. The finalized themes included Qualifications; Role of Team Leader; Rewards and Challenges.
