They can ultimately inspire the interviewer and others to learn more or to follow the footsteps of the interviewee. For my interview, I‘ve met a relative who has always been great to me from when I was little, and that person is my grandfather. There are three justifications on why I chose my grandfather, who is such a fascinating individual, to interview.

One reason why I’ve selected to interview my grandfather is that he was an excellent salesperson. According to my grandad himself, he told me in his interview that he was able to persuade people to trade and make profit off his stock of hardware back when he was young in Libya. His work ethics and persuasive techniques touch my heart because in the mere future, I would hope to become an entrepreneur and convince people to buy my idea and services. Being a salesperson requires someone to be fluent in language and communication skills. Two highly indispensable traits for survivability in this world.

As stated by my grandad himself, “I saw myself as a diplomat working for the Ethiopian government. In the past, and currently today, Ethiopia and Djibouti had never had good relations. So, in retaliation of one another’s hatred, both governments sent out spies to monitor each others activities such as militarily, economically or politically. I was one of the diplomats who were sent by the Ethiopian government to monitor the Djibouti government.” The art of snooping or spying on other governments interests me, due to the fact that I love watching movies that have similar genres to

    For my interview, I chose to have a very close family member tell part of her life story, For the purpose of this interview, we will call her Karla. She came to the United States with her parents when she was a little girl. She grew up in the middle of two cultures, exposed to two different ways of life.

    When I received this assignment it took a little thought to decide who I wanted to profile in my paper. Since how I work for HEB, I have many people in the HR field that I could have interviewed. After considering all my options I decided to go all the way to the top of HEB’s HR in Central Texas. The reason I wanted to interview the Central Texas Director of Human Resource for H-E-B is so others will know how much pride HEB takes in their Human Resource department and the type of person it takes to be the Director of Human Resources at HEB.

This is why I chose Mr. Vic Nivens, the Director of Human Resources…

    I interviewed an adult woman who lives in my neighborhood. Her name is Marina and she is 66 years old always trying to be active but in fact, she has a lot of health issues. She lost her husband 12 years ago and from then on, she lives by herself. So, I decided to invite her for a breakfast on Sunday morning and spent a little bit time together and talk. She responded to my invite with a very enthusiasm and interest. I am assuming it is because in her life there is not happening a lot of interesting events. I know her almost 4 years and I thought I could have guessed somewhat correctly about her interests in music, films, and TV shows.…

    The motivational interviewing video provided discusses a client discussing a plan and consolidating commitment with a client. One topic related to that is envisioning. This may look like resistance, but it suggests not directly that the individual is thinking forward to what life would be like if they did make a change. The most common type of envisioning is for the client to see the problems with changing. Another form of envision would be positive envision. The therapist may also ask hypothetical questions such as, “Let’s picture what it would be like if you stopped smoking.”…
