Hello, new UCWbLers! If you’re looking for your interview questions for WRD 395 or 582, look no further. Below you can find the directions and interview questions you’ll need to begin interviewing returning UCWbLers. (Don’t worry, it won’t be as formal or scary as the photo above.)
The Details
Interview at least 2 returning UCWbLers, spending about 30 minutes on each interview. Take notes on each interview. We’ve provided a list of questions below that you can use, or you can create your own questions (or both, of course). Before each interview, prioritize the questions you really want answered because you may not get to all of them.
These interviews are an opportunity to get to know your fellow UCWbLers and a chance to hear firsthand what working at the UCWbL is like.
Work with the Receptionist to identify returning UCWbLers who are not busy with appointments.
Before you begin each interview, find out the interviewee’s name, field(s) of study, and role(s) at the UCWbL.
