Brief introduction
I am currently a college student with an immense interest in the chief security officer career. I have researched on the career choice and identified significant information that would help with decision making when the time comes to choose a career. I however believe that firsthand information from individuals who are in this field would make my choice easier. It is why I have identified professionals like you and would love to get varied information touching on this career.
Reflection
I was somewhat nervous to conduct the interview despite the interviewee being someone I am familiar with. I eventually gained composure after the first few questions and I believe the rest of the interview went on smoothly. There were moments of familiarity and laughter as the interviewee, who was my dad, would respond jokingly. Nonetheless, I managed to get the responses I needed. My dad expressed that he notices that I was nervous in the initial stages of the interview but I became calmer as I went on. He advised that I should identify various relaxation strategies to apply before the interview to ensure that I would be calm from the beginning. He expressed that I was eloquent and audible enough and he believed that the real interview would be a success.
