3. You will be making a list of questions youd like to ask your interviewee about their profession. Be prepared to ask the person whom you are interviewing at least 10 questions.

Youll be required to ask these 5 questions:

1. What type of education is required to qualify for your job?
2. What is a typical day like?
3. What are the pros and cons of your job?
4. What are the steps necessary to break into this field?
5. What advice do you have for someone who is trying to get into this field?

Now you need to come up with 5 more questions. I suggest you refer back to your values to come up with questions, because your values give you clues about what is important to you in your career.
