Overview
Write a report about the profession based on the results of the information that you learned via the interview and via your research conducted during step 3.
Your report should include:
- A title page that contains your name, date, and class number AND specific information about your interview: Include the name, professional title, licensure (if applicable), degree, organization, and contact information of the person you interviewed.
- A page (or more as needed) with a list of the questions asked and answers given by the interviewee
- An essay of around 3-4 pages (double spaced, one-inch margins, 12 point font) containing a report of your investigation- in a structured, organized academic essay format- that integrates answers to the following prompts:
- How did you find the person?
- What was the experience of this professional investigation project like for you (finding an interviewee, researching the profession, preparing for the interview, conducting the interview)?
- Outside of the interview, what was your research experience like?
- Where did the interview take place?
- What did you learn from the interview?
- What did you learn from your non-interview research?
- What are the requirements of the position (education, skills, experiences, licensure)?
- What, if any, discrepancies did you identify between the different informational sources that you utilized?
- How did your impressions of the profession and of the field change as a result of your research? (both online and interview research)
- Would you be interested in pursuing this field?
- What more would you still like to learn about this profession?
- A reference page of the essay. Following APA policies and formatting, this reference page must contain the full citation of every reference citied in-text (within the essay), and nothing more than what was cited in-text.
Additional Requirements:
- All factual* statements that are not inarguably common knowledge (and not much is considered inarguably common knowledge these days) must be cited in-text and via a corresponding full reference in a final reference page (* factual meaning that they are stated as a fact rather than as an opinion)
- Only Word or pdf documents are accepted
- One-inch margins, double spaced, 12-point font
