Interviewing a new person is a bit like looking for a pot of gold, the more you search, the closer you get to finding treasure.
1. Who do you plan to interview? Why?
The person who I initially plan on interviewing is my mentor, Dr. Maureen Burney who has provided me with an enlightening view on the overall career of a clinical psychologist this past summer. In addition to this, Dr. Burney has demonstrated how the muse to her career is more than just helping her patients move past a problem, but it is also to find the crux of their overall problem to help her patients take a step forward themselves and finally be able to take action in their own hands. This type of inspiration has shown me how much passion an individual can have towards a career and is something that I hope to be able to unravel in my first interview with Dr. Burney.
2. Five questions will be assigned to all seniors to ask. What additional questions do you plan to ask?
- Upon the initial session with your patients, what is your approach in identifying the underlying issue that a client may have? How long does this process take?
- Why do you believe that so many people in your profession often skip looking for the root of a problem which a patient/client may have?
- Having worked in this profession for several years, what have you seen to be the most important factor in approaching a client upon their first session with a psychologist?
- In what ways has deciding to become a psychologist affected your life experience? What led you to realize that this was the profession for you?
