Blog 6 - Second Interview Preparation

Label: Interviews

Due Date: Friday, 9/19 by 8AM

 The purpose of the second interview is to justify your mentor as an expert in the field.  Thus, you will be asking them at least 5 questions about their background and/or the background of the organization or company where they work.

1.  Who is your mentor and where do they work?

 My mentor is Andrew Kest, who has been a pharmacist for about four years in America. He is originally from Egypt, which he had more experience of pharmacy in that country longer than in the US. Andrew works in Del's Pharmacy 1 (closed pharmacy) for his four years in the US and had recently started to work at Kaiser Hospital (open pharmacy) since last year.  

 2.  What five questions will you ask them about their background?

1. Could you describe one of your typical workdays for me?
2. What skills are required in your position on a day-to-day basis? 
3. What are the positive and negative parts in your career?
4. Has this industry change dramatically in the past couple of years than before? What have you seen from inside your company? Where do you think the changes will happen in the next years to come? 
5. Are too many or too few people entering this profession? If many, then how frequently do layoffs occur? How does it affect the morale of employees?

The interview is due 10/25 by 8AM in Q&A format to turnitin.com.
