I am conducting research into the experiences dog groomers around the country have had.
I am conducting this interview as part of a research project I am undertaking for a class on technical writing. I am researching future employment options for my friend Mel Ecker, who is at a crossroads in her grooming career. She currently works for the PetSmart in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, as a "Pet stylist." I will be compiling a final report from the information gathered from a combination of your responses and interviews I've taken with other dog groomers.
If you could answer these questions to the best of your ability, I would greatly appreciate it:
What company do you work for? Is it a small (1-10 employees) or large (10+ employees) company?
How long have you worked as a groomer?
How pleased have you been with your wages?
What kind of benefits or perks have you been given?
How often do you encounter difficult or frustrating animals or customers?
How satisfied are you with the company’s policy on difficult clients?
Tell me about the best encounter you have ever had with a client.
Tell me about the worst encounter you have ever had with a client.
How much stress do you feel on a day-to-day basis?
What is the most frustrating part of the job that you encounter on a daily basis?
What is your favorite part of the job that you encounter on a daily basis?
How satisfied are you with the job as a whole?
If you could go back to when you were beginning as a groomer, is there anything that you would have done differently?
What kind of advice would you give a beginning groomer?
Thank you for your time!
