2. I stuck with interviewing college students, but this time I tried to interview guys as well. They seem to have a different opinion on time management and their skills differ from girls.
3. I didn't change my questions because my questions already encompassed what I needed to know.
4. I think my opportunity is still the same as it was after the first 5 interviews. There is still a need for time management skills. What I found to be different is that the boys tend to be much less organized than the girls were.
5. My 3 tips are:
- Be confident in yourself, it will make you and the person you're interviewing less nervous.
- Ask open-ended questions because it makes people open up more.
- Explain why you are interviewing them so they understand and are not weirded out.

ReplyDeleteYou had some really great interviews, I would personally like to see you reach out to an older demographic because I really think you will see the variety in opinions differs (as I did with mine) but all in all your questions are great. Your three tips are great, especially the notation about open ended questions; when people feel comfortable with you and you throw out an open ended question, those seem to be the best answers.
Again, great post. You can check out mine here:

Hi Sara! I really enjoyed reading through what you learned and your tips for future interviewers, and also the interviews that you filmed! I had similar advice in my tips, advising people to have some confidence when they approach strangers for interviews. Also I agree that open-ended questions are much better! I had to make that change to some of my questions myself. Anyways, great job on the assignment! Check out my post if you can. (http://jlopez3003.blogspot.com/2016/02/interviewing-customers-no-2.html)
ReplyDeleteYour interviews were very good. You learned some great tips from your interviews and it seems you are getting a lot of insight. Being confident when asking a stranger a question is key and explaining to them why they are being interviewed is very important. I agree with Nicole that you should try and interview an older demographic to see what other options could be available.
