#10 "Conducting an Interview"

For my research essay, there is a variety of people who I could potentially interview.  Because I am discussing an issue dealing with communication, business, corporate America, grades, emotional intelligence, ect, this gives me pretty open leeway on who to interview.  In my paragraph about Facebook being a productivity killer, I discuss how grades are decreasing due to consistent use of Facebook, how people are choosing jobs that allow internet access to use Facebook, and how Facebook use is causing companies to loose millions.  I can interview guidence counselors, teachers, professionals in admissions or even parents for information about academia.  
In the section about communication, I discuss how people interact with each other and how Facebook is challenging people's psychology.  I can interview professionals in psychology and use the guidance counselor again and overlap his or her knowledge/opinion.  
The paragraph about putting negative material on Facebook can pretty much include anyone.  Since my paper speaks directly to getting a job, the most likely person to interview here would be someone in corporate America.  I have contacted someone from P&G, however they have responded and said they are unsure if they can help me.  They have graciously given me contacts of a guidance counselor who does in fact deal with Facebook issues, so hopefully this goes well.
