Interview TWO people at health care businesses—one who has a financial position and another in an administrative or managerial position.

During your interview, ask the questions below. Afterward, write a 3+ page paper (double-spaced, Times New Roman font, and on a separate Word document) in which you:

• List the questions asked and answers given during each interview
• Summarize what you learned during each interview
• Compare the information provided by each person. Were there any similarities? Did they contradict each other?
• What information provided by the interviewees will be helpful to you in completing your project?
• Give the contact information for each of your candidates
