Blog 2: Interview 1 Preparation

The person I am interviewing is Leslye Whittaker. I am interviewing her because I know her very well and she works in the stock exchange at Deutsche Bank in London, England (a form of international business.) She knows quite a lot about international business considering that she has two citizenships (United States and the United Kingdom,) she is very successful in her career, and has done business with several people from different countries.

Additional questions I plan to ask:
-What got you into the profession you are in today?
-What is an average day at your job like?
-Would you be willing to help me on my senior project if I need any help in the future?

Blog 1: Senior Project Topic

My senior project topic is international business. The reason I choose this topic is because I would like to major in international business in college, as well as go into international business for a career. After studying international business all year, I hope to learn more about this topic and see if I'd still want to consider international business for a career choice.
