Question #16 raises some issues with me. How is this information to be used. That question could be an indicator of phishing.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Yup, which is why I didn't answer that question or several of them for that matter. Way too many questions for a college assignment.

Sorry you can omit 16, I have to turn the 16 questions into a summary, and wanted to say who it was who did the interview, I wasn't trying to raise any concern. Just trying to get some feedback from outside of my area.

I noticed that too... and for a college student the statement and questions have a number of grammatical errors. Why is the assignment for an English class geared toward small business, with the last few questions being about photography?

ok wow, its for an interview assignment. I am a business major. I am sorry if my grammer is bad in how I wrote this. It wouldn't be like that in my paper. I thought this would be easier, instead of getting torn apart for asking for help.

You can EDIT your original post and correct grammatical errors. That and dropping #16 would help. Maybe 16 could be "What type of business is it?" People are very suspicious today about detailed "interviews" from unknown sources. I think you can understand why some folks are not comfortable. This is the kind of interview (if the interviewee has about an hour to give you) that works interactively and maybe not in written format.
I guess that's part of the learning process.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Well the spammers manage to sneak on here often enough so it's good you got back on and explained further. Makes more sense that it's for a business class. Didn't mean to critique your grammar esp. as it's a list of questions, not a final paper, but a clue to something being spam is often the grammar and spelling. And the spam is often someone's first post (or one of their first).

Thanks for being understanding too. Yes, it is one of my first post, photography is very important to me. So I found this forum, I wanted something that related to photography. I missed the part that this assignment was suppose to be done this way. So I am running out of time, so was really hoping someone could answer my questions. Oh, and my grammar has been the worst thing for me, lol.
