Blog 20: Fourth Interview Questions

1. Who do you plan to interview? What is the person's area of expertise? 
       I either plan on interviewing another volunteer at the shelter or plan on interviewing a sargent at my shelter. If I were to interview another volunteer it would be one that has been a volunteer for years. The senior volunteers not really experts but they would know how to answer my EQ since they are out there helping the dogs. The sargent is more educated compared to the volunteers, however, they do not go to pet adoptions and adoption events (which wouldn't help give me answers to my EQ)

2. Post 20 open-ended questions you want to ask an expert in the field concerning your senior topic. 
For the first few questions I was going to ask them about them. For example what they do and do they enjoy it, etc. I also mine alter these questions in the near future. 
    1. What he or she does at the shelter? 
    2. How long have they been working or volunteering at the shelter?
    3. How did you get to where you are today?
    4. Do they enjoy working or volunteering at the shelter? 
    5. Have you been to any pet adoptions?
    6. What do you do to help get animals adopted? 
    7. Ask the interviewee my EQ 
    8. Do you think pet adoptions are a way to improve the chances of animals getting adopted? 
    9. Ask if my 3 answers are okay if not are there any suggestions for new ones. 
    10. Is there anything that I could tell my peer so I could educate them about the shelter? 
    11. Ask if my activity is good and if not are there any suggestions.
    12. What are some hooks that can capture my audience attention. 
    13. Do you feel like the animals getting adopted are going to good homes? 
    14. When working or volunteering at the shelter do you feel that it is more "learn by experience" or learn by research? 
    15. Have you done any research about shelters or just animals in general? 
    16. By experience what can you tell me what you have noticed or learned about animal shelters? 
    17.  Is there someone else you recommend that could help my answer my EQ or my research? 
    18. Ask about my independent component 1 
    19. Is my independent component 2 okay or should I focus on another aspect about adoption? 
    20. Is there any research material you recommend about adopt? Like books, statistics, etc.

Blog 19: Third Answer



1. What is your EQ?
     What is the best strategy a shelter can employ to improve the chances it's animals get adopted?

2. Answer #3 
    The best strategy a shelter can employ is to host or take part in an adoption event.

3. Three details that support the answer
     - It is better for the public because it's cheaper and easier than going to the shelter
     - Most animals that are taken to the events get adopted.
     - These pet adopts help the shelter in tons of ways (get donations sometimes, represented, etc.)

4. The research source(s) to support your details and answer
      - My interview 3
      -  Source 31
      -  Source 36
5. Concluding sentence 
     So I feel like a shelter can get a lot of animals adopted by taking part in pet adoptions. They can even host these pet adoptions.
