How would you describe your career path, and how did you reach the position you are in now?

You are required to conduct one interview with an individual currently working in business. Interviews can be conducted in person, over the phone, or via email. The objective of this exercise is to expand your professional network and learn about business. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you contact individuals working at organizations of business (see question #3 below, for example).
Interviews must be structured and follow the questions provided below. This is to ensure consistency, to help ease the interview process (you don’t have to come up with questions on your own), and to help with writing the executive summary. Below are the questions that should be asked during the interview:
o How would you describe your career path, and how did you reach the position you are in now?
O What do you believe is the most important skill or type of knowledge that is needed to be successful in your job?
O For someone looking to start a career in your field of work (or “to improve my career in your field of work” if you already have a job in this area), what are the most important first steps I can take to start moving towards that goal?
O This interview is part of my management class; from your experience, what are the characteristics of an ideal manager?
