Do we interview just one
How many interviews?
Hi Justin,
I assume one (1), but you are welcome to interview as many as you would like. Hint: the more you interview, the more your professional network will grow and the more potential advisors you will have for your project!
Too soon?
Hello Professor Jackson,
As I look over our first assignment, something pops into my head right away. I don't know whether anyone will encounter the same problem but I would like to voice my concern if you don't mind.
Our assignment, finding an entrepreneur and ask him/her question, is a great assignment. However, I am wondering whether we are given too little time to complete this task (1 week). We all know that these entrepreneurs are really busy and to be able to find one and ask him questions AND come up with the report within 1 week is very rush in my opinion.
Therefore, I am wondering whether it would be possible for you to give us another week (due in week 3 instead of week 2) so we can have a better chance to find the right entrepreneur and come up with a good report?
Thank you and Have a great weekend!
Regards,
Alex
Assignment #1 Due Date
Sorry about the delayed response, Alex. For some reason, I didn't see your question until today.
I agree the timelines are challenging. However, this is an easy assignment once you have found an entrepreneur. There are lots and lots of entrepreneurs out there... you don't have to interview someone who is famous or even successful.
