Description

I interviewed Danita Berry for my First Year Seminar class at Marshall University. Our FYS class has been focusing on critical thinking and how thoughtfully developed and artfully asked questions can lead to enriching and enlightening stories. Frank Sesno’s book Ask More has served as inspiration and each one of us has been tasked with creating and using thoughtful questions related to our specific interview themes.
Theme of Interview:
Owning your own Business

1. What exactly do you do?
2. How long have you worked with this business of yours?
3. What is the best part of your job?
4. What is the hardest part about owning your own business?
5. What is unique about your line of work?  What unique opportunities does it present?
6. If you didn’t have your own business what would you be doing with your life instead?
7. What advice would you give someone trying to start a business like yours?
8. What are some challenges that you face with your job? And how do they affect you?
9. What has your job taught you about the world?
10. Our First Year Seminar class is focused on critical thinking. What is an example of critical thinking in your line of work/in your life? Please be specific – elaborate – tell me a story.
