Q Running head: 8-2 ASSIGNMENT Interviewing is something that we have all gone through, once, twice, maybe a dozen or more times. It is an activity that can lead to promotions, new career advances, guest lectures, new friends, and self-growth. In this assignment, you will design an interview. Design an Interview • Pick a person to interview o This could be me, a friend, a mentor, someone famous, a person you look up to, an idol, or a child. • Develop a plan o Think through the barriers for effective interviews, mitigate where possible and prepare. o Part of interviewing is strategizing and analyzing. Planning the how, the when, the where, and of utmost importance: what is the goal of the interview. • Craft a strategic plan for your interview • Draft a list of questions o Make sure that you have decided on the style: structured questions, semi-structured, unstructured. • Closing o How will the interview end? o Are there next steps to consider? Be creative with this assignment. You do not need to conduct the interview, but if that person (the interviewee) showed up at your lunch table (Remember the blog prompt from Module 3?) tomorrow, your interview plan should be ready to execute. This is a component of your Communication Strategies Presentation due in Module 9. Review further details on the Communications Strategies Presentation page.
