Select someone at your internship to interview.
Arrange a time and place that you can conduct the interview.
It is a good idea to give the questions you are asking to the interviewee (the person you are going to interview) in advance.
Please use the list of questions below when interviewing your mentor. Select at least 12 or more of these questions to ask the interviewee. You may use all of them if you wish. Again, it would be good to give the interviewee the questions in advance.
Record the answers during the interview and then type the questions and answers into a post titled Interview.
Questions
1. What is your full name?
2. Where are you from?
3. Where did you go to college? For how long? Do you plan to go back to school?
4. (If the interviewee went to college)…What was your major in college and what kind of degree do you earn?
5. Why did you choose that field?
6. What got you involved in this field of work? What inspired you to do it?
7. Why did you choose this job?
8. How long have you worked here?
9. What is your job title?
10. What do your duties include? Or What kinds of work does your job involve?
11. What are some of the challenges you have faced working here?
12. What is the best part of your job?
13. What is something you would like to change about your job?
14. Did you work somewhere else before this job? Where? For how long? How was that similar/different?
15. What do you see as your future with this company?
16. Do you enjoy the kind of work you do?
17. Do you plan to open your own business one day?
18. How has having an intern helped your company or organization advance or progress?
19. What advice would you give to high school-aged interns (such as myself) getting ready for college and then the real world?

I have seen many repetitive posts for the daily posts and feel like we all need a break in that routine. Rather than doing a daily post every day for the next two weeks, I want you to write one post that includes the following:
-List two same old things, things you do this week that you have done before
shrreding paper and filling paper making copies
Also
-List two new "things"; things you have never done before at your internship
working with computer
What is a thing? tasks, projects, activities, duties, internship related work-type functions
Only make one post, not several daily posts and use the following template for this assignment.

The floor plan
Draw a diagram of how your entire office looks: where the rooms are, walls, and doors.
Draw another diagram of your work space, or your desk.
For example, if I gave this assignment to Mr. Carlos, he would draw a diagram of the entire first floor of our school building: the rooms, walls, hallways, and doors. And he would draw another "zoomed in" picture of his desk and chair, the copier, Ms. Joan's desk, Mr. Lurick's desk, the front desk, etc.

Pre-Interview
The interview: you are going to interview someone.
-Who do you want to interview?
-What do you already know about that person? (their name, where they are from, how old they are, what their job is...)
-What do you want to know about that person? (how they got their job, where they went to school, how long they were in school...)
