Thank you for sharing Amanda. The questions you are currently using will certainly provide you with very important but specific information since they are closed-ended questions, meaning that there is a very specific answer (yes, no, my parents, the internet, etc.). Have you considered asking open-ended questions that will not only provide you with the same information and more? For example, the question 'What types of jobs have you had in the past?' is very specific to knowing job types. Reframing as 'Tell me about your previous jobs.' allows the student to explore a bit more and may offer you information that is valuable but not specific to the 'type' of job they had. How can you reframe your other questions as open-ended questions?
