You should collect at least 15 questions from this exercise to use during your 30-45-minute interview. You will reach out to a case manager at a local social service agency and ask if they would be interested in participating in a 30-45-minute phone or Zoom interview with you so you can ask them about their experiences as a case manager. Email them the questions in advance—people tend to like that. You will complete your interview at an agreed upon time and date with your interviewee. After the interview, you will write up a 3-4-page summary of what they shared with you. Feel free to use direct quotes, but your paper should not be a transcript of the interview. NOTE: This is NOT an assignment that can be completed at the last minute. Sometimes it can take weeks to find someone willing to interview, especially during the current pandemic. Emailing a case manager telling them they must help you because it’s due tomorrow or emailing me during Week 10 or 11 saying you just started asking folks but no one is available, will not go over well.
