Blog 17 - Interview 3 Reflection
1. What is the most important thing I learned from the interview?
I would say that the most important thing I learned from my interview was what skills are most important to bring into kindergarten. My interviewee, Bonnie, had mentioned that social skills are one of the most essential skills a child entering kindergarten can have. This was one of my answers to my EQ, and though I've researched on this for a while, I was able to get more insight on it. I also learned that coming into kindergarten knowing the letters of the alphabet and numbers has great significance as well.
2. How has your approach to interviewing changed over the course of your senior project?
I'm definitely a lot more comfortable during interviews now. At first, I treated it like it was just that, an interview. Not a conversation. I would ask my questions, maybe a few follow up questions, say thank you, and leave. It's a lot different now. I still, of course, ask my questions, but now I'm not nervous asking those follow ups and actually enjoy the conversation. After the interview, I stay a little longer to chat, whether it be about my senior topic or just anything. I go into my interviews now to have conversation, not just listen to what the person has to say.
