Professional Interview-Essay
Prepare a 3 – 4 page written report on the results of an interview with a person who holds a professional position similar to the one you hold or would like to hold in the future.
This is a formal report and will include a clearly defined Introduction, Body, and Conclusion. The report will be single-spaced in a standard font. You will also include a copy of the materials that you used for background research, (this will be included as a separate page in an annotated bibliography format.) Though web-based resources are fine you will not just include a series of links, clearly identify the material and why you used it. (These materials do not count towards the length of your report.)
