Download or read book The Qualitative Interview written by Jeanine Evers and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the qualitative interview resembles a good conversation, what makes somebody a good discussion partner? It's that the person listens attentively, thinks along, empathizes with what has just been said, and does not interrupt. In short, it's someone who is empathetic and interested. Is such a person a good interviewer by nature? No, as these characteristics form only the basis for a part of the "Art" referred to in the title of this book. However, the interviewer also needs additional knowledge and skills that are discussed extensively in this book. An interview should first of all have a well defined information goal. And, only when the skills of the good discussion partner merge with the researcher's knowledge, do we observe the art of the interview. This book will benefit those who are professionally involved in doing qualitative interviews or who are learning how to conduct these interviews. Contents include: A Short Introduction to Qualitative Research * The Qualitative Interview: Features, Types, and Preparation * Designing Individual Interviews * Conducting an Individual Interview * Designing a Focus Group * Conducting a Focus Group * Processing Qualitative Interviews

Download or read book The Art of Gathering written by Priya Parker and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hosts of all kinds, this is a must-read!" --Chris Anderson, owner and curator of TED From the host of the New York Times podcast Together Apart, an exciting new approach to how we gather that will transform the ways we spend our time together—at home, at work, in our communities, and beyond. In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker argues that the gatherings in our lives are lackluster and unproductive--which they don't have to be. We rely too much on routine and the conventions of gatherings when we should focus on distinctiveness and the people involved. At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play. Drawing on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Parker takes us inside events of all kinds to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide array of gatherings--conferences, meetings, a courtroom, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp--and explains how simple, specific changes can invigorate any group experience. The result is a book that's both journey and guide, full of exciting ideas with real-world applications. The Art of Gathering will forever alter the way you look at your next meeting, industry conference, dinner party, and backyard barbecue--and how you host and attend them.

Download or read book The Interview Artist written by Katrina Chretien and published by Gloucester & Midland Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-22 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You don't know what you don't know until someone takes the time to educate you and have an honest and genuine interest in you and your future. The workplace is filled with haves and have nots. What I mean is that there is a plethora of men and women just like you and me that have either secured employment of some sort, or they have not. They make up our entire population and those who have secured employment fill positions of every possible occupation known to man-from an apprentice to a zoo keeper and all those in between. While qualifications play a huge part in job security, we often look at others and wonder a series of thoughts as to how that person got their job; especially when we deem ourselves as the best fit. The Interview Artist is a real; yet humorous guide to career development and interviewing. It will walk you through a complete journey from thinking about a job or career path to either getting securing or not securing a job offer.
Download or read book 300 Arguments written by Sarah Manguso and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant and exhilarating sequence of aphorisms from one of our greatest essayists There will come a time when people decide you’ve had enough of your grief, and they’ll try to take it away from you. Bad art is from no one to no one. Am I happy? Damned if I know, but give me a few minutes and I’ll tell you whether you are. Thank heaven I don’t have my friends’ problems. But sometimes I notice an expression on one of their faces that I recognize as secret gratitude. I read sad stories to inoculate myself against grief. I watch action movies to identify with the quick-witted heroes. Both the same fantasy: I’ll escape the worst of it. —from 300 Arguments A “Proustian minimalist on the order of Lydia Davis” (Kirkus Reviews), Sarah Manguso is one of the finest literary artists at work today. To read her work is to witness acrobatic acts of compression in the service of extraordinary psychological and spiritual insight. 300 Arguments, a foray into the frontier of contemporary nonfiction writing, is at first glance a group of unrelated aphorisms. But, as in the work of David Markson, the pieces reveal themselves as a masterful arrangement that steadily gathers power. Manguso’s arguments about desire, ambition, relationships, and failure are pithy, unsentimental, and defiant, and they add up to an unexpected and renegade wisdom literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Power of AskingIn the world of influential figures, one might wonder how they reached the pinnacle of success. What sets them apart from the rest? Is it their intelligence, talent, or luck? While these factors certainly play a role, there is one trait that cannot be overlooked - the power of asking. In "The Art of Asking: Interviews with Influential Figures," we delve into the minds of these remarkable individuals and explore the importance of asking. Whether it is asking for advice, opportunities, or even help, these interviews shed light on how this simple act can transform lives. Throughout the pages of this interview collection book, readers will discover that asking is not a sign of weakness, but rather a display of courage and ambition. It takes courage to put oneself out there, to acknowledge that we don't have all the answers. By seeking guidance and insight, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and growth. The interviews with these influential figures reveal that asking is not limited to seeking answers from others; it also encompasses self-reflection. By asking ourselves the right questions, we can gain clarity, identify our strengths and weaknesses, and set goals that align with our passions. Furthermore, the power of asking extends beyond personal development. It is a catalyst for creating meaningful connections and collaborations. These influential figures recount instances where they reached out to others, forming alliances that led to groundbreaking projects and initiatives. They emphasize the importance of building a network of support and leveraging the expertise of others. "The Art of Asking" also highlights the reciprocity of asking. It emphasizes the significance of giving back and how helping others can lead to personal growth and fulfillment. Many of the influential figures interviewed share stories of how they found purpose and meaning by extending a helping hand to those in need.
