Preparing for the Informational Interview
Begin to prepare for this informational interview by identifying the professional you plan to interview. Ideally, the professional should be engaged in a career that you hope to pursue. (You may want to identify a second candidate in case your initial choice is unable to complete the interview with you.) This professional may work in your local area, but that is not necessary. If you cannot identify a professional easily, ask your friends and family if they know anyone who works in the field of psychology. You may also want to phone your local community mental health center or social services agency to ask for names and contact information of potential professionals you could interview. Contact your facilitator for guidance if you have difficulty in identifying someone.
Tasks
In a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document, address the following:
Provide the following identifying information about the individual you have selected:
The name
The job title (licensed psychologist, social worker, or case manager)
The level of education (a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree)
A description of job responsibilities or day-to-day tasks
The type of license, if applicable
The state of residence and practice
The e-mail address or phone number
Develop a list of at least fifteen questions to ask in your informational interview. Research possible questions to include using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet. Refer to the Job Resources document to conduct an Internet search using the search terms “informational interview questions” in order to find suggested questions. Be sure to put them into your own words for the purpose of this assignment and to give credit to your source by using in-text citations and a reference list in APA format.
Ask the interviewee about his or her work, academic preparation, and advice. In addition, include the interviewee’s answers to questions on the following topics:
The experience, skills, and knowledge necessary for success in a career in psychology or in graduate school
Relevant professional organizations
His or her views on professional ethics and academic integrity
The role of psychological research in his or her work
His or her greatest challenges and rewards
His or her reasons for choosing the field
Develop a script (word-for-word written statement) that you will use during the warm-up (meet-and-greet) portion of the interview. What will you say to the interviewee when you meet him or her? What will you do? For example, will you shake the person’s hand and introduce yourself? Include small talk of a professional nature that will serve as an introduction and explanation of the purpose of the interview. Demonstrate in your script your ability to interact professionally and effectively in a professional environment.
This assignment is preparatory work for the interview to be conducted later in this course. Do not conduct the interview for this assignment.

Interview Script
In commencing the interview, it is essential that the formalities of engagement be prioritized to facilitate a smooth discussion. Therefore, in my discussion, it will be important that I introduce myself with civility by first gesturing for the greeting (along with the hallway or pavement) before introducing myself and my purpose for visit. However, if in the office I would knock before proceeding with the introduction formalities. After which, I will ask for the interviewee consent to have a face-to-face interview, including other acknowledgments of how I seek to achieve the interview purpose (Crosby, 2014).
For example, “greeting Madam? My name is XXX, a final year student at Argosy University pursuing my degree as a social worker. We did communicate a week ago where you booked me an appoint today.” If she consents me to take a sit I will then proceed with the purpose of my invite. “I am glad to have joined you today and hoping to benefit much from your insights about life as a licensed professional social worker in the field”. Also, the interviewer must acknowledge the interviewee for his participation in the interview both through formal acknowledgement and a thank you note. For example, “thank you ones again for your time and patience, I am very grateful to be in your presence and for sharing in detail. I look forward to meet you again in future, all the best in your career and bye.” Generally, it is important to conduct self diligently to enhance the cordial relationship and atmosphere important to encouraging a good interaction platform (Crosby, 2014). Also, it is essential that the interviewer asks for permission all the time when seeking to include other instruments for the interview, or when seeking clarity. Good communication etiquette is paramount to the success of an interview process (Crosby, 2014).

Using a nursing research study assigned by the course instructor, create a poster presentation reflecting a synopsis of the study
UncategorizedNursing Research Poster Presentation
Using a nursing research study assigned by the course instructor, create a poster presentation reflecting a synopsis of the study. Presentation should summarize the introduction, background or literature review, methods, results, & conclusion of the assigned journal article. Please note this is not an exercise in cutting & pasting. Paraphrase content to reflect individual understanding of research study content. Refer to the poster presentation tutorial provided in the Blackboard Course Content section for guidance. All posters shall be uploaded to the discussion board.
How to Create a Research Poster: Poster Basics
Posters are widely used in the academic community, and most conferences include poster presentations in their program. Research posters summarize information or research concisely and attractively to help publicize it and generate discussion. The poster is usually a mixture of a brief text mixed with tables, graphs, pictures, and other presentation formats. PowerPoint is a popular and easy-to-use software platform to make a poster. It is part Microsoft Office.
What makes a good poster? • Important information should be readable from about 10 feet away • Title is short and draws interest • Word count of 800 words or less • Text is clear and to the point • Use of bullets, numbering, and headlines make it easy to read • Effective use of graphics, color and fonts • Consistent and clean layout • Includes acknowledgments, your name and institutional affiliation
Poster Design Tips
• Use large text (your text should be at least 18-24 pt; headings 30-60 pt; title >72pt.) • Do not use more than 2-3 font styles total • Use fonts that are easy to read (such as Times New Roman, and Arial) • Avoid jagged edges: left-justify text within text boxes or fully justify blocks of text • Avoid too much text (no more than 800 words max) and undefined technical jargon • Choose colors carefully and pay attention to contrast. If in doubt, dark print on light background is best. Remember – some colorblind people cannot distinguish between red and green. • Organize and align your content with columns, sections, headings, and blocks of text • White space is important to increase visual appeal and readability (this is the “empty” space between sections, columns, headings, blocks of text, and graphics). • Selectively incorporate charts, graphs, photographs, and key quotations from primary sources, maps, and other graphics that support the theme of your poster. It is best to avoid using tables of data. • Avoid fuzzy images; make sure all graphics are high-resolution (at least 300ppi) and easily visible • Edit your poster carefully for typographic or grammatical mistakes and image quality before the final print-out (use the print-preview function)
Poster Review Checklist
• Does poster have enough white space? • Are the text and graphics legible? • Are the text and graphics consistent? • Is the flow of information logical? • Are the following identified: research question, methods, take-home message or conclusion? • Are the proper acknowledgments provided?
