 ASSIGNMENT
Conducting an Interview & Reflection Paper
Weightage: 5 Marks

We have reached to the middle of the semester and by now; you should have a solid
understanding of the International Business course. I hereby ask you to conduct an interview (by
phone or via online meeting) that lasts around 15 minutes with a person, who works or deals with
international business, to discuss with him/her an international business topic “You should select
a topic from the MGT 321 – Intro to International Business course”.
For the interview, you need to establish at least four main points around the topic that you
have chosen, and then, create questions related to these points. During the interview, you need to
collect the interviewee’s responses and write a reflection paper “what did you learn from the
interview?”

Guidelines:
 Highly recommended to read about the interviewee’s organization, company or agency
before the interview take a place. This will help you in creating and designing the
interview questions.
 The length of the interview should be between 15 to 20 minutes.
 Try to look for people on LinkedIn to the do the interview with, if you do not know
anyone.
 Be an effective listener during the interview and take notes.
 The reflection paper should be at least one page “what were the interviewee’s responses
to your questions and what did you learn?”.

Suggested questions:
 Start the interview by asking the interviewee about his/her job title, role, duties,
responsibilities and scope of work.
 Ask for future advice like what courses you should take or recommendation for an
internship or coop program.
 Ask questions related to your major.

Notes:
 You need to write the interview’s name, work and job title at the end of your reflection
paper.
 The reflection paper should be at least one page long.
 Submit the interview questions along with the reflection paper.
