The Interview Below is a list of questions to use when interviewing returning UCWbLers.

There are also three blank spaces for you to create your own questions as they arise. Be sure to read through the questions before interviewing and prioritize the ones you would really like to be answered. Each interview should take about a half hour so try to complete as many questions as possible within that time. At least three returning UCWbLers should be interviewed, and you should take notes on each interview. Remember, the person you are interviewing is a great resource, so be sure to gather all the information you can about their experiences as an UCWbLeryou never know what helpful advice you may use in your own tutorials/conferences. Completing these interviews are not only an opportunity to get to know your fellow UCWbLers, but a chance to hear firsthand what working at the UCWbL is like.
