The person I'm going to interview a park ranger. A park ranger starts his day by checking certain areas of the park to ensure that no fire or damage to wildlife. Later that helps keep people moving, enforce park rules and regulations. If a person is injured a guard will accompany the person to first aid. Also, rangers can warn campers about potentially dangerous animals in the area, and may even have to chase the animals away from campers and visitors. Some other responsibilities ranger has are to clean; put out fires, helping injured people or animals, wildlife and even complete if dangerously close to people. A park ranger is like the local police; all rangers should carry a gun and enforce the laws if people break in any way. Forest fires are very difficult to handle, park rangers are always on call in case this happens or any other type of disaster that may occur such as animal attacks ass, illegal hunters and injured wildlife.

There are many ways to get information. The most common research methods I used are: literature searches, talking with people, focus groups, personal interviews, telephone surveys, mail surveys, email surveys and Internet surveys (Rubin, 33). I search in the literature, so it involves reviewing all readily available materials. These materials can include internal company information, relevant trade publications, newspapers, magazines, annual reports, corporate brochures, online databases, and other published material. It is a very inexpensive method of gathering information, but often does not produce timely information. Literature searches via the Internet are the fastest, while searching in the library literature can take between one and eight weeks (Spradley¸96).

During this interview he emphasized that the focus group technique is used as a preliminary investigation to explore the ideas of the people and attitudes. It is often used to test new approaches (such as products or advertising), and to discover customer concerns. A group of 6 to 20 people are in a session environment, like a trained moderator. The room usually contains a one-way mirror for viewing, including audio and video capabilities. The facilitator leads the group discussion and keeps the focus on the areas you want to explore. Focus groups can be carried out within a couple of weeks and cost between two and three thousand dollars. Its disadvantage is that the sample is small and may not be representative of the general population. Despite the fact that my interviewee has the ability to influence the outcome of the interview, they often have difficulty making use of that capability. This is the result of being too self-critical and may have low self-esteem. Some of the applicants do not take into account their own experience and their own personality with due respect. Instead of realizing their strengths are focused on their weaknesses (Alasuutari, 144).

Metaphorically, it is similar to a person who has a missing tooth and during a conversation that tries to hide the fact to cover his mouth with his ...
