1. What is the most important thing I learned from the interview? Is there anything I would do differently for other interviews?
- The most important thing I learned from the interview was the different type of areas I can work in as a physical therapist. I have a lot of options if I become a physical therapist and they explained this to me with a lot of detail! I don't think there is much I would do differently for my other interviews. I really liked the fact that I was able to interview two people at the same time and get two different opinions, so I would like to make that happen again in my future interviews if I can. Also, I came to this interview with 15 questions prepared and perhaps having even more questions won't hurt to have for the future as well!
2. Did I get additional resources and contacts? What is the most useful? Why?
- I did not get any specific contacts; however, they told me confidently that I will receive a lot of help and learn a lot from my mentorship at Casa Colina. They really pushed on me pursuing volunteering at Casa Colina and this definitely helped me solidify my choice for my mentorship there. Both Cindy and Elise told me to contact them if I needed any other help in finding someone else they work with for a future interview. They also mentioned that a good resource for my research can be found on the APTA website under the student section in which I never knew was there!
3. What makes my interviewee qualified to help me?
- My interviewees are very qualified to help me because they have so much experience with everything physical/occupational therapy. Both have received doctorates in physical/occupational therapy and have worked in this field at not just Kaiser, but many other facilities for over 10 years. They definitely relate to me as a student interested in their field and are very willing to help me however they can because of that.
