Blog 4: Interview Preparation

1.  Who do you plan to interview?  Why?

I plan to interview Structure Engineer Associate, Tzuoh-Jaw Wu because he has lots of experience in the field of structure engineering. The reason why he has lots of experience is because he started as an employee and worked throughout his career to achieve his Associate position. This shows that he is familiar with many roles in the structure engineering field and I believe this can help me with my senior topic and my career choice. He also is well educated because he has master's degree in structure engineering, which makes him an even more reliable interviewee.
