Interview Reflection Coming into this assignment, I had a few ideas of people I wanted to interview. I had recently switched to being an accounting major and knew that was the field I wanted to focus on for this project. Among the accountants in my area, there was one in particular I wished to work with. Mrs. Smith was that person. She originally found her way into accounting working a dead end job. Then, she applied to a graduate's assistantship program at Temple University. This opened up the doors for her professionally because she was able to pursue a masters degree in Taxation at Temple, which they paid for as well. This was the opportunity she needed because it has led to her working strictly in the taxation department for her entire career.

Interview Analysis:     With regards to Jonah Hill, some interesting things can happen in an interview. To start, a great question that can generate a great, in depth response was David Letterman asked him about his past projects. I've noticed that bringing up peoples past work, jobs, or experiences typically merits a good response. This gives the interviewee a chance to talk about themselves to the audience and get a little settled in. It can open the floor for a good joke or story that Mr. Letterman wants. Asking people about relationships to other people seem to merit good responses as well. They give their own takes on the person and their work professionally. I feel that in some cases the interviewer should let the interviewee take lead in the direction of the interview. This keeps the 'Jonah Hill' engaged and eager to talk to the audience.
