Regarding the 15-minute anonymous online interview, there are two available formats:
1: LIVE Interview (real-time), meaning you will be having an online, anonymous conversation with me (Sally Bishai) for 15 minutes.
OR
2: "Alternate Format" Interview (not-real time), which will be similar to the survey format (a few questions with a comment box for your answers)
Technological Requirements for the LIVE (real-time) interview
1-- An instant messaging program (MSN Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, or Yahoo Messenger).
2-- An 'anonymous' username (so I could NOT use "sallysall" or "sallsoola" or "brown-eyed-Bishai") that will NOT tip me off as to your identity.
3-- Fifteen minutes.
If you wish to select the LIVE Interview:
To complete Step Two and select the LIVE option, please indicate your availability (days and times) in the appropriate section of the survey on this page, and provide your ANONYMOUS username/email address (like bassboosa123@yahoo.com). Then, just sign on at that time and I will send you a message (unless you are faster!).
Alternately, just add sallybishai@yahoo.com to your Yahoo Messenger and send me a message whenever you see me online. (Remember not to tell me who you are! I want to protect your anonymity! :)
NOTE: Sometimes I leave the messenger on when I am NOT around, but feel free to message anyway and tell me that you'd like to begin the interview.
Another NOTE: As previously mentioned, AOL and MSN messengers are also possibilities, but I don't leave those on, so will only sign on there if you request it).
More about the Alternate Format Interview
IF you are unable to meet the requirements above (messenger, anonymous username, 15 minutes), then the ALTERNATE format of that same interview is available; CLICK HERE to go to the interview page after you've completed the survey above.
