Have you ever done an interview before? I have and it was interesting learning my interviewee’s story. But all my hard work paid off.

I Conducted my interview with my dad’s work friend. I came up with questions from a list of them and at first I didn’t know what to put as questions and I was confused but then I understood it.I did my interview on the weekend. I learned a lot of new stuff like he came from Vietnam. I did my interview in my dad’s home office. I got a lot of information and his story is crazy. I used my chrome book to type in things and my dad recorded it on his phone.

I asked my interviewee my questions and some weren’t exactly in order but, I fixed it. The interview was on zoom but the record didn’t work so my dad recorded it on his phone. I was surprised by some of the answers and it was really scary for him. I learned that some answers to questions might be longer than others and you have to be patient and you can’t rush the interview. I learned that he went through a very scary situation.

After all, I learned a lot about my interviewee and it was fun.
