Blog 4: Interview Preparation

1. I plan to interview Ramona Jackson. She is one of the leaders for the VFW West Covina Post 8620 Sunday breakfast fundraisers and Wednesday dinner fundraisers. I am interviewing her because she is one of the main cooks in both of the events and helped create the menu and prices. She also trained me in omelet preparation over the summer for those Sunday breakfasts.

2. Some of the additional questions I plan to ask include:

• Why did you start working with the VFW meal fundraisers?
• What motivates you to continue working on these fundraisers?
• What is your favorite dish to make and why?
• Do you or have you ever worked in a kitchen anywhere else?  If so, what did you do there?
• What is the best way to make sure every guest in an order has their food finished at the same time?
• Do you have any tricks you use to have meals prepared more quickly? If so, elaborate on the them.
• What steps are there in preparing food for the fundraisers? When does preparation start?
• What is the best way a kitchen can run smoothly?
