Blog 14: Interview 3 Preparation

1. Who do you plan to interview?  What is this person's area of expertise?
• I plan to interview my mentors co-worker named Tony Nguyen. He has been a CSI for quite some time. As a Crime Scene Investigator his area of expertise is in Forensics. I believe he attended the University of Washington and received a degree. I'm not entirely sure degree in what, however that can be one of the background preliminary questions I ask him during our interview.
2.  Verify that you have called your interviewee to schedule an interview.  What is the date and time of the interview? 
• The interview I am conducting is scheduled in two weeks which is Wednesday 1/27/16. The interview will be after school at my usual mentorship time, which is 1:00PM.
3. Phrase an open-ended question that will help you find research resources that would help to answer the EQ.
• Do you have any certifications? If so what sort of materials to you study to prepare yourself for said certifications?
4. Phrase an open-ended question that will help you think about other useful activities you might do to help you answer the EQ (IC2, possible experts to talk to, etc).
• What sort of activities do you do at conferences, that really help people understand what it is to be a crime scene investigator?
5. Phrase two open-ended questions that help you to understand your interviewee's perspective on an aspect of your EQ. 
• Why are crime scene photos essential to an investigation?
• Fingerprinting using powders has been around for quite some time in crime scene investigation, why has it still so popular when newer technologies exist?
