Internship #9: Wednesday 1/20

A good interviewer always asks questions he or she is genuinely interested in knowing about and he or she could not find out on his/her own. Good interviewers do background research and create questions based on what this research shows about the person.

"Where did you go to college?" or "Where did you grow up?" are good background research questions, but not good interview questions.Better interview questions might be based on that background research, and sound something like this: "What it was like moving from Boston to San Diego after you graduated from Harvard?"

In this blog post, create a biographical sketch of you mentor, including all of the aspects of life that you consider important. This could include past places lived, where he/she grew up, educational experiences, previous jobs, family life, etc. Be courteous, be respectful, and be interested... you can really learn a lot!

Some important highlights of my mentor's life is her early independence, she moved out from her parent's house, started to work at such a young age. How was the moved from Texas to California? She grew up Texas and when she was freshly out of college she moved to San Diego to be close to her sister, but when her sister had to moved Bobbie decided to stay.
