My
three interview ideas
1st interview – Foreign student- I will be
asking them questions about their thoughts about education in general in the UK
and what difficulties they have faced whilst being in education in the UK and
how they overcame it.
2nd interview – Administration assistant at a
college. I’ll be asking questions about their job roles as well as what it’s
like to work in an admissions office, what they do and what challenges they
face daily and where they see themselves in the future.
3rd interview – I will be interviewing a sales
associate at a shop and I will be asking them general questions about their job
in terms of what they do and what challenges they face.
For one of my interviews I am going to be interviewing
a foreign student who studies at South City College Birmingham and I am going
to ask them questions about how they feel about studying in the UK. I am also
going to ask them questions like the differences between the education here and
there an what they think in general about education, I am also going to ask
questions like what they study.
I will open the interview by introducing myself saying
“Hello, my name is Sarita and I am a student at South City College Birmingham myself
and today I will be interviewing an oversees student from my college and I will
be asking them just general questions about education in general and their views on it, this is for me to just see what
they think of the United Kingdom’s education system.
1st
Interview: Foreign Student
Questions:
1.
So tell us about yourself, about where you
from?
2.
When did you come to the UK and how long
have you been here?
3.
What made you come to the UK for education?
4.
What difficulties have you found yourself
in while trying to get into education?
5.
What course are you on and do you enjoy
what you do?
6.
Do you feel you get treated fairly as a
student?
7.
What one thing would you say that you like
about the education system in the UK?
For example the costs of courses etc
Purpose of my research:
Before doing my interview what I did was have a look at
the facts about the topic of education, and the topic was about how the
difficulties most students who are international face, so I realised that the
main issues they face are about getting
loans so therefore in my interview I asked questions about the loan and costs.
This information was found from sources on a site which surrounded the topic of
foreign students educating in the UK
The
methods of research: I used sources mainly from internet
but I even had a look at articles on magazines as well as heard radio
interviews too for example Karl Lagerfeld who is a clothes designer did a interview
on a fashion magazine that I recently read and it was basically 12 questions
and underneath them an answer followed straight away which was written exactly
the way he said it such as the laughs and smiles he even gave when he said
certain words and phrases.
The radio interview I heard was of a interview on a radio show called BBC Asian Network and it was a presenter called Bobby who
interviewed a singer who has a new song out to buy on iTunes so that was promotional
interview which is known as an informational interview.
The
purpose of this interview: Foreign student interview: I did this
interview to get an insight as well as the thoughts and feelings of foreign
students in the UK doing education and what difficulties they face whilst being
a student in the UK and how they cope with the course they do.
Interview
planning: Location: this interview I did was at college itself
and it was in the radio room, I did this there as the area was quiet so it was
much more convenient to do that as there would be no interruptions as well as unnecessary
background noise.
Date/time:
Tuesday 11:00pm 2015 on the 9th of June: The interview which I have
done I think that it could be played for a local television as it’s just a
basic insight on views of foreign students about what they think of the UK
education system. It could possibly be even on the local news on a little
feature about education.
Second
interview: Administration interview
I will be interviewing and administration assistant who
works at college and will be asking her about her job role and what
she does in general in terms of what the duties involve as well as how she
helps out students.
Questions:
1)
Could
you please tell me a little bit about your job role, in terms of what it
actually involves?
2)
What
general information did you provide to your students, like what sort?
3)
How
long have you been in your role?
4)
What
are your typical working hours?
5)
One
thing you mostly enjoy about your job?
6)
What
have you found most challenging about your job?
7)
What
are your colleagues like that you work with? Is your relationship good with
them would you say?
8)
What
would be the best advice you could give me as a student to who’s interested in
the field of admin?
9)
Where
do you see yourself in 2 years? Do you see yourself still in the admin field or
something else?
10)
What’s
got you interested in administration?
11)
What
previous qualifications do you hold that have got you into this job you have
now?
Purpose
of research:
the research is to get as much
information about the subject of administration so I know what sort of questions
I can ask the person I am interviewing. I also needed to make sure that the
questions were quite quick and straight to the point as she kindly gave me time
to answer her questions in her spare time.
Before I did this interview I got just general
information about what I could ask a administration assistant and I got this
information from a student who studies business and administration so this was
a good thing for me to have done I gave me a heads up in terms of knowing what
sort of questions I can ask as well as what main things I should cover in the
interview so it would be easier for the interviewee to answer questions. I did
this because research because I found this really quite helpful as it gave me a
good idea on questions for the interview.
The purpose: The
purpose of this interview with a college administration interview was to simply just get to know what it’s like
to have a job in administration and what it’s like to carry out the duties,
this interview I did was an informational one and it informed us about the
administration role and what the job involves, so if someone is interested in
this field of work I think they will get a decent grasp and a slight insight of
what skills they need to have as well as what they need to do to become an administration
assistant. So overall I feel as though this interview is a informational as
well as quite informative.
This interview about administration would be ideal for either
a educational television programme or radio programme as it’s about telling the
listening audience what it is like to be in a certain job field.
Date/time/Location: the date I took this interview was
on Monday 15th June it was roughly around 12:00 afternoon time and
the interview took place at the admissions office in the college itself and
they kindly gave me 10 minutes in the office to do the interview.
Third interview: Retail assistant interview
Questions
1)
So
you’re a sales assistant, so can you tell me a bit about your job role, in
terms of what it actually involves as well as where you work?
2)
What
general information do you need to know about working in this environment?
3)
How
long have you been a sales assistant?
4)
What
are your typical working hours?
5)
One
thing you mostly enjoy about your job?
6)
What
have you found most challenging about your position as a sales assistant?
7)

11)
Give
me three key skills do you need to be a sales associate?
12)

now?
Purpose: the purpose of my research was basically
just to get an insight as well as a good understanding and feel of what it is like
to be an associate at a shop in a health and beauty sector and as well as what
they actually do behind the counter and what complications they face as well as
what they enjoy doing and what skills they think they need as individuals to
get a job in this field.
Before
I did this interview I made sure I got a good set of questions to ask the sales
associate and I had to make sure my questions were quite good so what I did was
watch a few videos online about working in retail and I mainly looked at a lot
of college promotion videos about retail just to see what they do and I also
analysed a few people in the stores just generally to see what they do and I
think that this was a really good idea for me to have beforehand because it
gave me a good understanding of what retail assistants do so I then began to
come up with questions myself in my mind to ask the assistant, the background research has
helped me a lot to think of questions of what I should ask and that what I feel
made my interview flow and I liked that because I was more confident doing this
interview, whilst doing this interview I had to be quite quick with my questions
as well as manage my time quite effectively as she generously took time out of
her busy schedule to actually do this interview with me on her break so i didn’t
really want to take up to much of her time.
Methods
of research: I got my information in terms resources from the internet as I
researched generally what to ask a retail assistant, I didn’t want it for them
to feel like a interview for them so I made sure I asked questions in terms
about what they do rather what they need to do so I thought it would be better
as its more of a way which will get me to know more about there role as an
retail assistant.
