Good afternoon,
My name is Madison Preston and I am a student at Daytona State College. We are required to write a research essay on our career choice and mine just so happens to be an orthodontist. Is there any way possible you can help me out by answering a few questions for me?

Thank you.




Name and job title of person interviewed (cannot be a friend or a relative). In addition to their Name & Job Title, include their work e-mail, work telephone number, and company of person interviewed. If someone does not want this information included in your college paper, interview someone who does, in order to avoid earning a zero on this portion of the paper due to a lack of contact information.
Where does the person work?
What are the duties performed during a typical day? How much variety is there on a day-to- day basis?
What does s/he like about their job? Satisfying aspects of the job?
What doesn’t he or she like about their job? What are the demands and frustrations that typically accompany this type of work?
Where did s/he go to school? What specific educational requirements are there for this position?
What courses are most valuable in order to gain the skills necessary for success in this career?
What training did s/he complete? Which skills are important to acquire (what do employers look for)?
Is there evidence of differential treatment between men and women with respect to job duties, pay and opportunities for advancement in this field and at this company?
How did he or she decide upon/enter that field?
What does the interviewee know now which would have been helpful to know when s/he was in your shoes? What advice would they share with a current college student?
What are his or her future plans for education/employment? What are opportunities for advancement in this field?
What did you learn from this interview (both positive and negative impressions)?
How does what you learned fit with your own interests, abilities, goals, values, etc.?
What do you still need to know about this career field?
What plan of action can you make (to move you closer to your career goal)?
