QUESTION 7

1. Review the following scenario. Then answer the question below.

   Amanda decided to write article for the school newspaper about the upcoming Career Fair at her school. She thought it would be a good idea to interview some of the people who were planning to have booths at the Career Fair. She wanted to learn about the careers directly from the participants, so she did not do any preliminary research.

   When Amanda was setting up her appointments, she was very specific about the time and place that she could meet. She could only meet during 3rd period, or at 10:15 am, on Tuesday in the school’s office.

   As Amanda was writing her questions, she was very focused on the educational requirements for the various careers, as well as the day to day activities of the people in their chosen fields. Many of the questions used the words “how” and “why”.

   Before the interviews, Amanda reviewed and practiced all of the questions she had prepared. However, she accidentally forgot her notes in her locker. To make up for this, she started the interviews talking about herself, and her career goals and educational plans. After she became more comfortable, she remembered the questions and was able to get valuable information from the subjects on their careers.

   After the interviews, she thanked the participants. She was getting close to her deadline, so she did not get around to writing thank you notes.

   Amanda’s article was a success! She learned about a variety of careers and shared the information with her classmates.

   Which of the following suggestions could help Amanda improve for her next round of interviews?
   

   		Amanda should offer a few different time periods to meet with the participants.
   		Amanda should be more careful, and bring all of her notes and materials to the interview.
   		Amanda should conduct research before meeting with the participants.
   		all of the above
