(I'm majoring in community health science) Contact an off campus person in the field of your chosen direction. Set up a face-to-face or phone interview and conduct an informational interview regarding their position. Summarize the results and your thoughts through proper APA formatting in a 2 page paper. Your task is to interview someone in a field of work in which you see yourself entering. This person should work as closely as possible to the position you would like to occupy. Here are some questions to help guide your interview. You should ask additional questions of your own choosing. Also, consider the interview to be like a conversation. Let it run in different courses, and allow it to develop into a rich experience. How did you get into this field? When did you know you wanted to be a ______? What did you think beforehand? What changed your mind? How did you prepare for your position? What are things that you like about your job? What are things you dislike? Were there any surprises about your job? Is the salary adequate? (DONT ask how much!!!) How many hours a day (including commuting) do you spend on your job? How does your job affect your family life? How much vacation time do you get? Do you spend much time travelling for your job? How do you like that? If you had it to do over again, would you choose this job? If not, why? What would you choose? What are three things I can do to get into this field? Are there internship opportunities available in this field? Can I find summer employment/part-time work in this field? This interview should be followed up by a thank-you note. Handwritten is the best.
