Q: As far as I see, you enjoy being in the yearbook staff. What brought you to join this group?
A: “I joined the yearbook staff to have something that could motivate me to come to school. I thought being a part of a team would help me look forward to something during the school year.”
Q: How long have you been a member of the yearbook staff, and what can you tell me about it?
A: “I’ve only started this year, but I did take Intro to Publication last year. I liked it, and I like being a part of a team.”
Q: The yearbook is a very big responsibility. How do you take responsibility for this and work at the same time? Can you explain to me how you do it?
A: “I no longer work anymore, but when I did have a job I would just work around it. I was off every Friday, so I was able to go to football games and take photos.”
Q: Do you have any interest in teaching yearbook to a new member if they joined? Do you have any advice?
A: “I wouldn’t mind teaching someone about the yearbook. I would definitely tell them to remember you’re on a team. It’s not fair if you’re not doing anything, or if you’re doing everything.”
Q: When it comes to communication with the other staff, how would you describe it?
A: “Communication is a very big thing, and not only in yearbook, but in everyday life. Communication in yearbook is pretty easy, everyone can kind of bounce off different ideas to each other.
Q: Are there any recommendations for people who are interested in but aren’t confident enough? Would you recommend anything to them if they struggle?
A: “Yearbook is fun. You get to be a part of something that gives you multiple different opportunities. If you struggle just be honest with everyone; we’re all a team and should be there to support one another.”
Q: How do you expect to be spoken to if you were approached by other interviewers such as myself?
A: “The way people talk and their body language is a big thing. You don’t want someone who doesn’t seem interested to do an interview on you, just like you don’t want someone who you’re interviewing to not seem interested.
Q: What are your expectations for the future? Do you think this can help find your future career?
A: “I look forward to going to a college and being a child psychologist or therapist. I think the interviewing part of yearbook will help because in order to do those jobs, you have to be able to ask questions and read people.”
Q: How does this impact you? Are you motivated by this responsibility, or is it just something you like to do for fun?
A: “Although I haven’t been to school very much in the past two weeks; I’m excited to get back on track and see everyone and do the work. I’m motivated to do the work, and I have fun.
Q: How would you describe your work ethic in a class like this? What are your expectations
A: “I’ve not been at school much, but I like being able to have a team that can help me on days that I’m struggling. Whether that is if I’m having trouble focusing, I miss school or if I just need help with something.”
