Abstract
This paper reviews an article about overcoming technological difficulties in the field of hot-air ballooning. The solution hit upon by designers and had its roots in the world?s first air disaster ? a good idea poorly executed. The implication for the future is that we should look backwards as well as forward when solving difficult problems.
From the Paper
"People are flying around the world for the fun of it. They are described as sportsmen and adventurers, but at least in one way they have also been visionaries. Perhaps in other endeavors we should continue to look forward as well as back, and examine ideas that didn?t work and were perhaps discarded. There may be some excellent ideas that when reworked can move modern technology ahead. What we think of as a ?bad idea? may have some useful ideas within it. "

Abstract
This paper explains that a proper interview is conducted with keen preparedness, astute listening, documenting how each applicant answered the interview questions and comparing those answers to select the proper candidate.

The paper stress that there are many methods that an interviewer can use to properly conduct an effective interview; therefore, the interviewer should not have a cut-and-dried method, which he or she uses for every interview scenario.

From the Paper
"Picking a location to conduct the interview is important. According to Wicklander and Zulowski, "the cold, hard feel of the room and the starkness of the surroundings are alienating to a degree that even a veteran interrogator (interviewer) can find uncomfortable." Jacobs concurs with this assertion in stating "Find an appropriate location for the interview. The most important thing is to conduct an interview where interruptions are minimized." A place that is comfortable for the interviewer and the applicant will go a long way in making the interview process more effective and produce better results in employee quality for the long run. It is also important to allow for time when scheduling interviews as well."

Hiring Interviewing Techniques, 2004.
This paper selects the best interviewing technique for hiring new positions in the case of the Ogman Corporation, a growing telecommunications company.
1,175 words (approx. 4.7 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 40.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Ogman Corporation is now using unstructured or informal interviewing, wherein the interviewer asks the same open-ended, basic questions of each candidate, which leads to a broad evaluation being done with no set standard upon which to judge a candidate.The author points out that one of the techniques is stress interviewing, which is used to discover if a particular candidate will break under pressure; but stress interviewing has low validity and reliability, can give candidates a bad impression of the company, and could lead to legal problems. The paper recommends that Ogman Corporation adopt the panel interviewing technique to standardize its interviewing process because it includes all the benefits of a structured technique and has the benefits of reducing interviewer bias and allowing relevant employees to have input into the selection process.

From the Paper
"Panel interviewing is a variation on the structured interview. The only difference is the candidate is interviewed by a group of people at the same time instead of just one. This panel of interviewers can be made up of many different people but it usually includes the HR manager, the hiring manager and an employee with relevant technical skills to the position the candidate is applying for. The main reason for using a panel is to limit human bias and judgment errors that a single interviewer might have. This makes the final decision much more objective."

Homosexual Interview, 2004.
Reports on an interview with an openly homosexual African-American male.
3,805 words (approx. 15.2 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 104.95

Abstract
This paper describes an interview held with a 29-year-old homosexual male of African-American descent. The paper examines how the subject feels about himself and other homosexuals and explains the interviewer's own expectations of the interview and the intended focus of the interview. The paper includes a transcript of the actual interview and then, based on the interview, suggests areas for future academic inquiry. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the subject's beliefs regarding other homosexuals.
From the Paper
"The subject seemed ideal for this interview because he is openly homosexual himself, but acutely irritated by the common homosexual ?affect? that he characterizes as a learned or emulated set of effeminate mannerisms and speech patterns that many people have come to associate with (or even expect from) male homosexuals. The subject has repeatedly expressed his disgust with homosexuals whom he describes as ?flames? or even ?faggots?, because as a comfortably assimilated homosexual male, he believes that he (and all homosexual males) suffer from stereotyping and the homophobia that he believes it inspires. Specifically, the subject compares the plight of ?normal? male homosexuals to that of ?normal? black American males who suffer similarly from the stereotypes inspired by African American males who, according to him, ?have to act like hard-ass niggers?."

From the Paper
"Jourdain (2004) discusses four communication styles, the first of which is the sanguine or expressive and spirited style of communication. That style would best describe my own approach. I made use of encouraging words and phrases such as 'um hum' and 'I understand'. I was careful to remain nonjudgmental and to try to have empathy by placing myself in her position. I tried to guide the interview but was careful not to control the responses offered by Mrs. S."

Shakespeare?s ?Romeo and Juliet?.
This paper is a personal essay blaming the apothecary for the death of Romeo in Shakespeare?s ?Romeo and Juliet?.
925 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 0 sources, $ 32.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, at the end of Shakespeare?s "Romeo and Juliet", the Prince of the City announces that this tragedy is, in some ways, the fault of all those involved and that further investigation is warranted. The deaths of Romeo and Juliet are the immediate result of the crime of one drug-dealing apothecary. The author believes that the apothecary could have most easily and simply averted this tragedy merely by obeying the laws of his land; the apothecary had nothing personal to gain from selling this poison. Only greed or a blatant disregard for the law could have inspired him to sell such a poison. The paper concludes that, when watching or reading "Romeo and Juliet", it is important to remember that one does not need to be in the center of terrible events to have an overwhelming part to play in them.
From the Paper
"At first glance, the tragedy does not seem to be the fault of the apothecary. It seems more convenient to blame it on people who were more immediately involved in the tragedy, such as the parents or the priest. However, all those involved immediately were blinded by emotion and social pressure. It was almost impossible for either side of the feud to end the warfare by themselves -- this was evidenced by Romeo?s attempt at pacifism which ended so tragically in Mercutio?s death. The feud was bigger than any individual within either family, so one cannot blame any single character on either side of the feud for their deaths, though one can blame their collective families. Blaming the priest or the prince would also be convenient, but on the other hand they were the only people to be actively struggling to end the bloody feud."

The Interview in Sociology and Journalism, 2002.
This paper describes the general techniques of interviewing and then compares journalistic and sociological research interviewing methods.
3,515 words (approx. 14.1 pages), 16 sources, MLA, $ 98.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses in detail the methodology by which the interview is used to collect precise data. The author believes that, both in sociology and in journalism, the dynamics of interviewing should be properly understood to improve the effectiveness of data gathering. The author states that a key difference is that, in a sociological interview, the question should not be either loaded or biased; whereas, in journalism, it can be biased for a provocation of response. The author concludes that the journalist has much to learn from the sociologist.
From the Paper
"Each type of an interview is designed with a particular task in mind. The non-standardized type is most suitably used in exploratory studies where little is known about the topic. This way a small group may be interviewed quite informally with an intention of gaining useful guidance for the construction of more profound interviews. But there is a limit to which such interviews can be used with larger samples, since they may consume much time and money. Therefore, where large samples are necessary in sociology, the structured interviews provide a number of advantages, as they are cheaper in money and time and easier to process. The potentially quantitative form of standardized interviews makes them useful in hypothesis testing, (that is, checking the validity of initial assumptions in journalism)."

Interviewing Strategy, 2004.
This paper discusses an interviewing strategy for a company that has had a high turnover rate, which may have been caused by improper interviewing of potential employees.
1,230 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that, possibly, the high turnover rate is due to too much leading within the context of the applicant interview in which managers accidentally lead applicants to answer one way or another. The author points out another possible bias in an applicant interview situation is that the manager might automatically make inferences about a candidate?s situation and jump to conclusions based on these inferences, which can harm an applicants chances for further consideration; therefore, it is recommended that two individuals be present in order to record information and first impressions about an applicant's responses. The paper relates that rarely does a manager engage an employee in questioning related to their long-term goals with the potential employer, such as ?Tell me why you left your last employer and how long you were with them??
From the Paper
"There are many different types of interviews that can be conducted within an organization. The type of interview strategy proposed for CWH is an intense and open ended employment interview. The interview process in and of itself should be an intensive communication transaction ?designed to obtain or share predetermined information? in this case information about a candidates skills, qualifications and abilities. In an employment interview the interviewee should attempt to gather knowledge about the strengths and weaknesses of the organization and the person being interviewed attempts to share only their most popular qualities with the interviewer."

Abstract
Within Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", we find many one-dimensional characters who do not change or develop; they simply are. Only the title characters themselves change and grow over the course of the play. It is the intent of this paper to examine the character of Romeo, the specific symbols and events that define him, and how his relationship with Juliet provided the catalyst for his development and eventual death.

This paper describes qualitative interviewing as a research method. The paper presents major issues raised by various authors, researchers and practitioners on the use of qualitative interviewing as a method in policy evaluation. The paper examines whether qualitative interviewing is ideal for policy evaluation.
Outline
Overview
The Qualitative Interview Method
Scientific Inquiry and Qualitative Interviewing
Validity and Reliability in Qualitative Interviewing
Conclusion
From the Paper
"On account of the above, features of qualitative interviews differ from the survey interviews usually used in quantitative research. A qualitative interview is a one-on-one conversation between the researcher and the interviewee about a specific topic (Rubin and Rubin, p. 4). Unlike surveys, the questions in a qualitative interview are not standardized, even if a researcher conducts multiple interviews on the same topic. The qualitative interviewer uses open-ended, unstructured or semi-structured questions to elicit in-depth, detailed information from the interviewee. The interviewer has the flexibility to pursue unanticipated lines of inquiry."
