Blog 17 - Interview 4 Reflection

 

 

 How will what I learned affect my final lesson?

• My EQ is addresses young first time owners. With this interview, I know have the point of view of a first time owner regarding my topic. I would think that first time owners would want to save money with their cars. This interview however, I know see that first time owners want to commute regardless of the circumstances their car may be in. Now in my presentation can be more like a practice in case something does fail rather than malfunction prevention like it in now.

 

 

What is the most important thing I learned from the interview? 

• I don't feel that I can jot down one specific fact but rather a couple. One interesting fact that I learned is that Mr. Legaspino doesn't mind if his car isn't in the best condition. He is just grateful to have a car in the first place that can provide a viable method of transportation. He also says that he much rather have someone professional work on his car even though it means he has to go the extra mile financially.

Title: Blog 10 - Interview 2 Reflection

Please explain how you are spending your mentorship time (Is it at a workplace or somewhere else?  Are you shadowing?  Are you able to do tasks that are meaningfully related to the topic?  If so, what?  Are there other people who are experts in the location?  Etc...)

• My mentor allows me to do hands on activities such as actual work myself under his supervision. I believe all tasks that I have done are valid because even the minor jobs shows me how bug of an impact they could have.

How did you find your mentor?  How did you convince this person to help you?  

• I was taking to a friend about the project and he guided me to his uncle. Fortunately his uncle liked the idea of spreading knowledge so he helped me out 

How would you rate your comfort level with your mentor at this point in your relationship?  How does this relate to the time you've spent so far at mentorship/with this person

• Since he is an older folk then their is that huge age barrier but other than this I can ask him any question I wan't without hesitating and he responds to the ones he can. Its a good thing he has confidence in me or else he wouldn't let me do some of the jobs.

What went well in this interview?  Why do you think so?  What do you still need to improve?  How do you know?  How will you go about it?

• This second interview was more in depth and I got many more information out of it, because we were both in a good mood and the chemistry allowed for a good interview. The only thing I wish is that I kept recording after the interview because we had a good conversation after the actual interview was over.
