Library Experience


Watching the presentation on Friday at the library was really helpful. We were shown how to get the most use out of their website. My favorite thing I learned was that the website provided the source’s citation in MLA format.

Blog 4: Interview Preparation

1.  Who do you plan to interview?  Why?
 
I plan on interviewing, Laura Luna. She is a social worker that I have known for quite a while. I wanted to interview her because I know that it very easy for her to talk about what she does. She is very committed to her work and is passionate about what she does.

 
2.  You have to ask 5 questions.  What additional questions do you plan to ask?  Ask open-ended questions. 
  • What was it that made you want to become a social worker?
  • What do you think would be important to keep in mind when doing a job like yours?
