Blog 14: Third Interview Preparation

1.  Who do you plan to interview?  What is this person's area of expertise?

• I plan to interview my brother, Justin Khoury. He's had experience in a wide variety of fields all of which are different branches of business. Such extend to automotive repairs, car sales, advertising, Toyota dealership managing, social media directing, magazines, and managing stores. He currently works with Toyota of Glendora as the social media director and marketer. With all of his experience I see myself gaining valuable input from him on how well structured my EQ is and what answers it can lead to. 

2.  Verify that you have called your interviewee to schedule an interview.  What is the date and time of the 
interview? 

• I set the date and time with him on Sunday January 24 at 4 p.m.

3.  Phrase an open-ended question that will help you find research resources that would help to answer the EQ.

• What mistakes do you think lead to businesses ultimately failing? 

4.  Phrase an open-ended question that will help you think about other useful activities you might do to help you answer the EQ (IC2, possible experts to talk to, etc).

• When you were a business manager, what activities did you engage in to adapt to changing consumerism? 

5.  Phrase two open-ended questions that help you to understand your interviewee's perspective on an aspect of your EQ. 

• Do you think my EQ tackles one of the many controversies in the field of entrepreneurship? 
• Businesses fail for a plethora of reasons, what reason do you think sticks out the most?
