Purpose and Ice Breaker
My subject to interview is my former accounting teacher, ThanksGodObutor Imo. The reason why I chose him is because he is a truly interesting guy and his personality and his culture really makes me curious. Also, he is one of the most easygoing, nice and friendly people that I’ve had the pleasure to meet. So, I’m intrigued about how he can be like that and if it’s because of his culture. Finally, other reason why I want to interview him and nobody else is because he experienced something really difficult to deal with. He moved from his conservative tribe in Africa to USA, one of the most open-minded countries in the whole world. That most have to be a huge change in his life and lifestyle, and I want to know every single detail about it.
For the interview, I’m planning on two things for an icebreaker. The first thing that I’m planning on doing is to catch up with him since I took classes with him last summer. The thing is that I imagine that he will be as interested as me in how the past months have been for us. Also, I will ask him about his family and his trips because he said that he loved traveling. I think that this could be a good way to break the ice with him. The most important thing for me is to make him confortable with the conversation/interview.
The second thing that I’ll use to break the is making the interview a back-to-back interview where he can ask me any question that he wants and I’ll answer them all. I want to do it this way because I want him to feel as confortable as he can. Also, last summer I noticed that he was really interested in the Dominican culture and he said that he wanted to visit the country. So, I believe that this way he can feel confortable enough for starting the real
