can be crucial for further understanding. For example, the crossing of arms can indicate if a person is being defensive about a topic. The methodology of the interview would be semi-structured. A semi-structured interview has various advantages. One advantage is the ability to have a controlled method of data collection. A semi-structure interview has a series of identical question that is applied to all participant of a study. The data that results from identical questions is comparable and…

The next article that will be critically examined comes from an academic who focuses her work on qualitative research methodology in a variety of disciplines, including anthropology. Kathryn Roulston’s article titled Considering Quality in Qualitative Interviewing looks at how the quality of interviews conducted by people in the field affect the outcome of the work that follows the research process.

Selection of any school personnel is a great responsibility, especially one at the district office level. This process will involve many different stakeholders and will be conducted with the goal of finding an individual who meets the current needs of the district. One unfavorable factor will be the lack of time provided to find the best possible candidate, and it will be a challenge to the selection committee to not rush the process or select an unsuitable candidate simply to fill the position.…
For the peer reflection project, I interviewed Alexis Dowdell about the time her family adopted her cousin, Rochell. I thought this process was very interesting. Interviewing someone I never spoke to before was new. Even though this was a different experience, I was not nervous or overthinking about the right approach. I felt the right approach to interview Alexis was to be myself. We were both going through the same process, so I knew how it felt being interviewed. I also felt this process was…
Research Reflections: For me, conducting and taking part in interviews has always been a stressful affair. Whether it was for a position on band leadership, part of joining a program, or for one of my classes, interviewing has never been an activity I was confident with. However, while conducting the interviews for this project, it was much more open and much less stressful. Whether it was because I controlled the interview questions, or whether it was because I knew them, I didn’t feel the same…

When interviewing for a job opportunity, many individuals experience anxiety and stress during the process. From personal experience, I can admit that I do not retain the greatest interview skills - I shake uncontrollably, I demonstrate high anxiety levels, and I find it challenging to think on the spot. For me, the questions, themselves, do not represent the stressor, but rather, the stress comes from knowing that the individual in front of me retains the ability to control my future career.…
“Before interviewing occurs, criteria and questions for a structured interview should be developed (Saylor.org, 2012, Pl 144). I feel these are the interview questions that are relevant and should remain. Why did you apply for this job? It’s important to find out why they are applying? Did they just obtain a degree, are they changing jobs, did the last one not make them happy, do they change jobs often? This can lead into the candidate opening up to the interviewer. What do you know about the…
