For this Research Assignment, I would like for you to set up a meeting with a practicing professional of your choice. Preferably, this individual is a professional within the field or sub-discipline that you are interested in. Prior to the meeting, please create a series of questions to ask the individual. Plan to spend around 30 minutes with the professional and ask questions about job responsibilities, satisfaction, training, professional development, and so forth.

It is important that you are organized and well prepared. If possible, try to shadow the professional to observe them in action (this may require an additional 30 minutes and may have to be done at a separate time depending on each person’s schedule).

Below I have listed 20 potential questions. For the assignment, you must ask at least 15 questions of the individual. You are welcome to ask more and you are not limited to the questions below. If you would like, you may ask different or additional questions. When formatting your assignment you may format it in outline form by typing the question and their response or you may format it in an essay / paragraph style. Just be sure to clarify the questions and their answers.

Also, please be sure to include the name, title, and place of employment of the individual you interview.
