Blog #4 Interview preparation

Renzo Alvarez is an inspiring, ambitious student at Hillsborough Community College who is advancing towards his Business degree as well as working full time at his uncle’s convenience store shaping himself to eventually open up his own store in the future. I selected to interview Renzo Alvarez because of his inspiring story full of hardships and sleepless nights studying for school and working constantly at his understaffed job, a typical nightmare for any student to have. Renzo shares how he overcomes his struggles and explains his elaborate plan to succeed in his ventures that I believe to inspire any students that feels overwhelmed and stressed in school. I admire Renzo’s passion and his drive to accomplish what many people might see as impossible. Even though the interview went smoothly a challenge that I had faced was asking thoroughly comprehensive questions and not receiving an adequate answer back. The challenge interviewing a person you don’t know is making the interviewee being comfortable being asked questions. So, I began relating to Renzo story on my past difficulties I had overcome with both school and work, he eventually started to explain how he balances both obligations and his dream of the future that had me inspired to share this story with others.
