Have you ever interviewed someone on immigration? Maybe, but I just did. I interviewed my dad by making questions related to immigration and then I interviewed him. I will be telling you about the process of preparing and my experience.

The process of the interview was hard and fun. We did many things to prepare. First we came up with the person we wanted to interview. The person had to be an adult or someone over 18 and someone who immigrated. You had to have some sort of relationship with them. I chose my dad. After we came up with the person we started to think about questions we might ask. When we were making questions we had to think about if it was a one worded question. It had to be related to there immigration experience and you couldn’t do questions like how old are you, whats your name, where are you from if you knew the answers. After you came up with 10 – 15 questions you could do your interview. Before we did it Mrs. Cooper checked our questions. When I had a lot of questions I found it hard to do more because they all would have the same answer. When I did my interview I was typing while listening but another way I could’ve done it was recording but I thought it would be to much work. Now that I finished my interview we have to do 2 blog posts, the actual video and the script. That’s the process of preparing for the interview

Next I’m gonna talk about how conducting my interview went. When I was interviewing my dad I just typed while he was talking but another way I could’ve done it was record. Once I asked all the question it had taken around 15 minutes. It was really fun but at times when I asked a question he didn’t really answer what I needed. Some questions had a short answer and some had a long answer. I had the interview in person and it was but at the same time wasn’t what I expected. I thought my dad’s answers would be a bit different but I knew how it would go. I think I should have recorded the interview because I couldn’t write everything he said so it took longer. I learned that conducting an interview is easier then I thought. I thought it would be harder but all I did was pull up the questions on the chrome book and he answered them. I learned my dad came here for a masters program in business and many other things like how his journey was and what it was like. The most interesting thing I learned was probably that he came for a masters program in business administration.

Now that I’ve told you how the process of preparing for the interview and how it was conducting the interview I think it was really fun.
