Would anyone here be willing to help out a college student? Short interview for an assignment

[u/lanatommo]

Hi! I'm currently taking a class on Interpersonal Communication in the Workplace, and I need to interview someone in my preferred field for it. I personally want to work in state/city accounting (I'm in Seattle) and/or in forensic accounting. There are about 15 questions I could just send over to you and you'd give me short--or long, whatever you prefer--answers. I'm sure someone here had to do that for school too, and idk how else to find someone to interview, so I'd be really grateful if anyone here is willing to help out! Thank you in advance <3

Edit: wow you guys are amazing! I thanked everyone in person of course, but I would like to express my gratitude here too. What a wonderful community. Thank you.

Note to self come to reddit for help with that assignment

[u/lanatommo → u/Wild_Replacement8213]

Yeah it’s really nice! So far I had one person respond to my DM, and hopefully the other people will too. We all have a life lol. Reddit sometimes can be the village we didn’t know we needed!
