4. Based on the information you have found about your chosen career, develop at least five (5) open-ended questions that you plan to ask your Interviewee. The interview duration needs to be 15- 20 minutes.
The interview questions that you have developed will be provided typed in a one-page document and submitted to the relevant Brightspace drop-box.

It must be organised in your own time and conducted in a way that is deemed professional by the clinical placement organisation.
