Week 6 Assignment: Mock Interview Analysis

For this week’s assignment you will share your mock interview assessment with the classmate you interviewed, if you haven’t already shared it. It’s important to learn from every experience, so this feedback is critical to helping each of you continue to grow and learn.

You will also write a one to two page analysis of the mock interview process. Some questions you might address are listed below. You do not need to address each of these questions; they are designed to help get you started, not as questions you must answer. In addition to your analysis of the interview process itself, you should also incorporate your reaction to and analysis of the feedback you received from your classmate.

What did you take away from the interview? What did you learn that you could use for future interviews? What did you learn about yourself? Do you agree with the feedback provided, and why? Did the feedback help? How will you use what you have learned about yourself and the process moving forward?

Please be sure to include an APA formatted title page

 

Today, on the evening of Thursday, September 2nd I had the privilege of interviewing Bill Coleman. Mr. Coleman has applied for the open Defensive Coordinator position here at our school. Mr. Coleman brings a great deal of experience and knowledge with him, and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation as I got to know him a little better. Below you will see some key points I took out of our interview.

The first thing that stuck out to me regarding Mr. Coleman was his experience in not only football, but also life. Bill has 22 years of experience in the military, this stood out to me as I know it will lead to discipline and structure for our student athletes. He also has experience in football and working with different diversities and cultures. His commitment to a goal shows he is determined and will complete whatever he is tasked with.

Mr. Coleman also informed me of his desire to give back to the community. Being a presence is a great look for our university and Bill would look forward to the opportunity to make appearances at youth programs and other community events. The traits he would look for in athletes also stuck out to me, as he mentioned family, character, and their grades. All of which are great qualities for a football player representing our university to possess.

I would like to bring Mr. Coleman in for a sit-down interview. I’m a little curious about his experience in football and would like to hear more about that. As far as his character and standards go, I believe he would be a good fit. If he is able to provide some insight on his knowledge of the game and experiences, I believe we are looking at someone who could do a great job of representing our team and university.

The Stigma of Mental Illness

/in /by

The Stigma of Mental Illness 

“Stigma refers to a cluster of negative attitudes and beliefs that motivate the general public to fear, reject, avoid and discriminate against people with mental illnesses. Stigma is not just a matter of using the wrong word or action. Stigma is about disrespect. It is the use of negative labels to identify a person living with mental illness. Stigma is a barrier. Fear of stigma and the resulting discrimination discourages individuals and their families from getting the help they need.”

SAMHSA, School Materials for a Mental Health Friendly Classroom, 2004

Disclosure for confidentiality: This is a broad question on community views about mental health issues. Please do not share any personal mental health information online that you would not feel comfortable sharing. If you need help with a mental health issue, please refer to the link under Broward College resources or Hotlines and Mental Health Resources within Unit 3 on Intellectual Wellness in D2L.

We all have personal experiences that inform and motivate our actions. It is important to share more about those experiences and discuss why we care about mental health issues. In doing this we can relate to each other better and develop a common understanding that is foundational to creating community solutions. Please be respectful of your classmate’s posts. Post your answers to the following questions and respond to a classmate’s post.

Why do you think people with mental health are stigmatized and how might it impact them? What do you think influences perceptions about mental illness? Can you think of any other health conditions or social issues that have been stigmatized throughout history?   Lastly, how are mental health issues in the community possibly intertwined with issues of substance abuse?

(Make sure to answer all the questions in order to get full pts plus respond to a classmate) (All discussions should be 2-3 paragraphs in length and check your grammar) (See rubric in Syllabus for details).
