INTERVIEW PAPER

Obtain an interview with someone currently earning a living in the field of work that you are interested in entering. Develop a list of 8 interview questions to ask this person based upon what you’ve learned/read about interpersonal communication and your own interest in this career field. For example, what are their reasons for communicating on the job and how do these reasons help him/her to meet their physical, social, identity and practical needs at work? What means of communication do they use the most and why? How does their communication at work with men and women differ? Be sure to list the communication channel you used to conduct the interview (face-to-face or a mediated channel) and explain why this communication was used.

Your paper must be submitted as a typed Word Document, size 12 font, using either Times New Roman or Arial font. Please be sure to use proper headings (your name, date, course, and proper title)
