1. What is the most important thing I learned from the interview? Is there anything I would do differently for other interviews?
I learned a lot about how our government system works in terms of helping the homeless. I found this extremely important, because I learn more from listening rather than reading information. So that I was able to quickly understand things, instead of getting lost and confused. I would probably not use someone I knew again. There was a light playful attitude throughout the interview and I feel that in the future I should not have that.
2. Did I get additional resources and contacts? What is the most useful? Why?
I got a lot of information on what else I could research, which helped a lot because I was hitting a wall in terms of finding resources. This gave me renewed vigor to work on the project.
3. What makes my interviewee qualified to help me?
My interviewee is qualified, because he is a very good lawyer, has been working at his job for a a significant amount of time, and is just young enough that not all his experiences are tainted by old cynicism.
